The Confidence to Quit with John Lee Dumas Ep 19

John Lee Dumas

Would you be willing to walk away from a $100,00 plus a year job?

John Lee Dumas from EntrepreneurOnFire did just that, but not only did he quit to follow his passion John had a plan.

In under a year John took his podcast EntrepreneurOnFire from nothing to a six figure a month business through sponsorship and thorough building other streams of income to grow his business beyond just the podcast.  You're in for a real treat with this interview as we cover some of the most pressing questions I've been getting from you the audience!  

Specifically we talked about:

  • The one element you need to leave your job and start your own business.
  • Which platform that John used to generate over $550,000 dollars in sales in 8 months.
  • How to get your next big idea from your current customers
  • The strange way that you can use "The Impostor Syndrome" to your advantage


We also talked about how Parkinson's law that states "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion" and how to use that to your advantage by setting the time to complete the task to something that's accountable not only to you but to other people who have invested in your completing the task.
