Penn. com, and today, I'm here today with John Lee Dumas. Hi, John. John: I'm excited to be here, Joanna. Thanks for having me. Let's rock the mic. Joanna: Oh yes, absolutely. And just a little introduction, in case people don't know John. John is the host of Entrepreneur. On. Fire where he interviews successful entrepreneurs seven days a week. He's grown EOFire into a multi- million- dollar a year business with over 1. And his latest project, which we're excited about today, is “The Mastery Journal: Master Productivity, Discipline and Focus in 1. Days!” And I think you've got it there, haven't you, John? John: I got it right here, hot off the presses, literally. Silver- embossed, yes, it's a masterpiece. Joanna: That is awesome, and we are going to get into that because we're very excited in merchandising on the show as authors. Now I actually have your “Freedom” one here, so I'm going to wave for that too, as a fan. But this “Mastery Journal,” before we get into the publishing side, it's about productivity, discipline, focus, and I know you were in the military, originally. This is something authors really struggle with; we want to write, but it's hard to get in the chair. Give us some of your tips for getting things done because you are pretty much a master at this. John: Yes, absolutely. I wasn't always a master at this. They have that down. They knock it out of the park. And my audience, that was struggling, was struggling with that very same thing, so I came up with the idea to create a journal to guide people through accomplishing their number one goal in 1. So very specific one goal, 1. And so that was a huge success. It became the sixth most funded publishing campaign of all time on Kickstarter. Did over $4. 53,0. So those are some key things that we have to keep in mind when we do that. But moving forward, I realized that there's something really special about “The Freedom Journal” because it's about what my guests had in common, but what are my greatest strengths? What’s brought me from nothing four years ago, when I launched EOFire with no audience, no skillsets, no real knowledge about entrepreneurship too? Now here we are, four years later, a multimillion- dollar a year business, having generated over $1. How did I create that? What are my strengths? And those three strengths, Joanna, as you mentioned, were productivity, they were discipline, they were focus. We can get into all three of those specific traits as you get deeper in this interview, but I want to answer your specific question before I stop talking here, and that is what's one thing that I see as writers really being able to use, maybe “The Mastery Journal” or just their own their own heads to start that writing process, because we love to procrastinate. I love the phrase, “Win tomorrow today,” and it's actually the last thing you do every single night with “The Mastery Journal,” you win tomorrow today. Because the reason why people lose, they wake up in the morning, they don't have any specific plan. They know they had things to do, but they’re not quite sure what those things are or what order they should accomplish them. So your brain, it just goes quickly to like the escape route of “Let's just check our email real quick. Let's just check one Facebook real quick.” That's other people's agenda, or OPA, you’re putting out other people's fires. You're not doing something meaningful for yourself or your business. If you win tomorrow today by sitting down the end of the night, writing down a task list I call The Morning Routine, you write your morning routine, guess what happens? You wake up in the morning, you no longer have this empty void in your head about what you're going to do. You know from the night before exactly what the next nine steps of your life are, including exercise, if that's part of it. The whole routine, whatever that might be, and you can just jump right into it, and that procrastination disappears, because now you're just following your preordained today. Joanna: Yeah, and I totally get that. And I'm someone who plans a lot and does that, and but I know a lot of creative people struggle with this, with discipline, as well, and what you’re saying is quite structured. And the word “discipline” often sounds quite painful. I think people think it's painful, but you clearly love what you do. You're very passionate about what you do. This is not just about money. You're helping people and these journals are part of that too. How do people keep the joy in discipline and focus? John: It's interesting you say that, because I will say now that I’ve done a few of these interviews about “The Mastery Journal,” a common theme has started the bubble to the surface. I actually had no idea it was going to, but now you've said it. A couple of my past guests have talked about it. I was on Andrew Warner's Mixergy, I was talking with Dan Miller from “4. Days to the Work You Love,” and they both just kind of attached an interesting thing around the word “discipline.”Maybe it’s because I'm military, discipline to me has always been important and a great thing. If you have discipline, you're a winner. It’s been coming from other areas as well, it's like discipline doesn't always sound fun. That’s something that kind of people are, in some ways, may be repelled by and it just seems scary, like I don't want to live a life that’s disciplined, or whatever that might be, in any way, shape, or form. How I like to rephrase that is by saying, “Listen, by being disciplined, you're actually giving yourself so much more freedom than you would ever have.”It's people who aren’t disciplined, they just get pulled, tugged, and just screamed at from every direction, and they don't even know how to deal with this. Your life is not your own when you don't have a disciplined plan of attack. Going back to that morning routine, if you are willing to be disciplined. Maybe if you don't like the word “discipline,’ think about the root of the word, which is “disciple.” That was something that Andrew Warner pulled out that I just love. I was like, “I'm stealing that,” because that's amazing. Maybe think about that way, say, “Hey, I'm actually going to sit down, craft a plan of action, that I am then going to execute.” When do you do something like that, that's a discipline plan. You’re then opening up the rest of your day to do other things to give yourself freedom, because you've already done what needs to happen to move your business forward, to write that chapter, to do that editing, to do whatever it might be that is so important to your business that usually people just push it back to the end of the day and we have no more energy left. Or just like, “Okay, now, I'm going to edit that chapter.” “Really? After you just spent all of your brain cells doing other people's agenda?” That's why you need discipline. That's why you need that plan and that's what you need to execute on that plan. Joanna: You're an entrepreneur, I'm an entrepreneur, and I think business is inherently creative, because we are creating new physical things in the world. We’re creating wealth, we’re creating jobs, we’re creating all these things. Do you feel that everything you do is about creativity? John: So creativity is actually a really important word in my life. In fact, I'm going to be writing my first traditional book, coming up in 2.
