Follow one course until success. That's where the real winners win.
Love it. Love it. Okay. Now, as we come towards the end of the show, I do have a few rapid fire questions and I'm going to throw in a bonus one to starters because of your podcasting background. You've interviewed so many amazing people. What's one of the highlights and biggest lessons from one guest you've had?
Hmm. So I've interviewed this individual multiple times now, but he just continues to do amazing work. So I just love kind of going back to the well and interviewing this person over and over again.
It was always kind of a little bit of a pinch me moment, and that's Tony Robbins, because he was somebody that I really grew up listening to his tapes, watching him on movies and videos, attending his conferences. Then to kind of have him in a scenario like this one-on-one is kind of like larger than life.
And you're like, you're here, you're talking to him and he's just going like this and like all these things are happening. And it's like, just, you can feel the energy. You can feel it is coming across the screen. I've been, you know, with him in person multiple times now as his top affiliate, getting to go hang out with him for four days in Fiji. And yeah. I mean, I just learned a lot from him.
But again, it's just, you have to enjoy your craft. If you're waking up every day and it feels like a little bit of a grind, you're not going to win because there's other people waking up doing that exact same thing, but they love it. And they're always going to win because they're going to look forward to doing it. And they're going to do it better for longer because of that.
Like I love interviewing people. So people like John, like, don't you get burned out and tired? I'm like, you might, because this isn't like something that you want or should be doing. But I love having these conversations with successful entrepreneurs. So I know I'm doing the right thing. And hey, maybe that changes in five years and five months and 10 years, who knows.
But right now, I know that that is something I still love doing. Like tomorrow, I have seven interviews with seven entrepreneurs back to back. It's going to be a great time for people like, oh my God, I'd be dead for a week after that. Yes, because that would be sucking energy from you, but it actually adds energy to me because everybody's different.
Everybody has their own pros and cons, their own things that light them up and dim that light. So, you know, for me, Tony really kind of proved that, that this guy, he's never going to stop because he doesn't want to. Why would he? What's he going to do? There's no alternative that he would rather be doing.
There's nothing he would rather be doing than being on stage in front of 10,000 people doing that thing. He loves it. So I took that away and I realized, hey, I could go in a million different directions. But the fact that I know that I love what I'm doing and I really enjoy it and it brings me energy and happiness, why stop?
I love that. Love that answer. Okay, last couple. Most controversial belief around marketing business money that upsets people.
That upsets people. Interesting. I would say a lot of times people say, you know, be a jack of all trades when it comes to marketing, like, you know, be good at everything and be a master of none. And I think it's the exact opposite. I think you just need to find one thing, one channel that you're great at. We've just been great at podcasting. That's all we've been great at.
We're really bad at all other things, social media, email marketing. I mean, we try, but we're just average to below average in it. And so it just kind of putters along. But we're great at one thing. We just doubled down. We became a master when it comes to a daily interview with a successful entrepreneur. We're a master at that. And there's a reason why there's no competition.
Great, love it. And last one, if you could go in a time machine to your younger self and give yourself one or two tips for business and life, what would they be?
Number one tip would be relax. Like everybody is in such a rush to get somewhere and to do something. Just relax and realize that time is on your side. When you're 20, you want to be 30 and like in like in your career. When you're 30, you want to be 40 because you realize that you're not quite yet in your career that you want to be and you figure in 10 years you probably will be.
it never, you're never satisfied. You're never going to be happy. That's why you're listening to this show because you're an entrepreneur, you're a self-starter, like you're somebody that wants to do something with themselves. So just relax and just, you know, follow the principles that work and just know that it will come in time and try to enjoy the moment.
Love it. Well, last question is normally where do people find you? But I think that's pretty obvious. Entrepreneurs on fire, anywhere else to send them if they want to learn more about you?
eofire.com is our headquarters. That's our website where all the magic happens. So check it out. We've got free courses there. Of course, the podcast, Entrepreneurs on Fire, John Lee Dumas. Check it out. We have a new episode every single day.
Love it. John, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much, guys. As always, go away, implement this, take it seriously. And remember, action trumps all. Thank you for today. Keep living the red line.
