Do The Thing

Plenty of people do the thing and start a business. But not all of them reach the same level of notoriety. What traits do the most successful entrepreneurs seem to have in common?

I sat down with John Lee Dumas, the founder and host of Entrepreneurs On Fire, to discover the answer. From being in the military to living in complete paradise, his rise to the top took plenty of conscious determination and hard work. After experiencing his fair share of mistakes and pain, he now mentors others on how to avoid them.

Here are the mindsets John believes every entrepreneur needs on their way up and why you have to flex these muscles daily as you do the thing.

In this episode, John thoroughly explains these key points of the Do The Thing Formula:

Getting back into the dating scene can feel overwhelming. But putting yourself out there is the only way to find the right person. Imagine what could happen if you finally took the risk, didn't worry about rejection, and challenged yourself to do the thing.

Dating is a huge part of doing the thing—and it's something many of my listeners want to navigate better. I asked my ideal dating panel to divulge their tips for finding your "happily ever after." Previous Do The Thing guests—Adam, Dr. Nancy, Genesis, Kate, and Ted—used their past experiences, professional expertise, and wisdom to design a never-before-seen dating challenge.

Here's what happens when you put an entrepreneur, holistic life coach, erotic blueprint coach, somatic

therapist, and health researcher in the same Zoom room to chat about dating.

You only have three seconds to do something before your brain talks you out of it. What if you made it your intention to act quickly?

Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Scott, the owner of Novian Skincare Manufacturing to learn why he believes so much in the power of personal integrity and self-discipline. While serving in the Navy, he noticed too many people throwing in the towel as soon as things got tough. But quitting was never an option for Scott. The way you do anything is the way you do everything. From tricky aircraft carrier landings to launching several businesses, he believes in putting in the hard work necessary to reach your goals.

Here's how Scott flexes his willpower muscle every day as an entrepreneur, prioritizes his daily goals, and why you shouldn't sell your happiness for cheap.

Rejection never feels good, but every high-performer experiences it at some point. Learning how to move past emotional discomfort is essential. What if you retrained yourself to focus on hitting the numbers and meeting small goals instead?

I got personal with my friend, Craig Garcia, to learn how lessons from a college job still shape his professional career today. Although he didn't have an innate inclination toward sales, a job selling books door-to-door made him figure it out. Little did he know how much this summer job would play a vital role in running a business and even riding a bike.

Here's how Craig went from selling books to opening a mortgage company and why he still does the thing in every aspect of his life.

In this episode, we dissect these points of the Do The Thing Formula:

Plenty of people dream of starting their own business. But what if you only had one week to make it happen?

I got personal with Noris Velazquez, known around town as the Kung Fu baker, to learn the answer. A proud stay-at-home dad, an unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime baking opportunity promised more income. One problem: He only had a few days to figure out the logistics. Would he be able to meet this seemingly impossible deadline?

Here's how Noris used the lessons he learned from Kung Fu, did the thing, and became a well-respected bread baker in his community.

Everyone has a passion in life, but being afraid keeps many from pursuing it further. However, the rewards of following your dreams are far greater than anything fear can produce. What if you trusted yourself, recognized the potential, and just did the thing instead?

I chatted with Maggie Unzueta of Mama Maggie's Kitchen to learn the powerful story behind her popular cooking blog. After her grandmother passed away, she felt an urgency to preserve family recipes. Little did she know the impact these recipes would have on Mexican women and within her community.

Here's how Maggie found inspiration, started a cooking blog, and why she's now dabbling in crypto.

Western life is transactional: Whenever someone gets a win, another person experiences a loss. But what if you acted like a lightbulb instead of a laser, shining enough light to benefit everyone around you?

I had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Steven Young, co-founder and Chief Alchemist of Ammortal, about the importance of accessing the non-conscious, hidden part of your mind. As a teenager, he always found human functions fascinating. Little did he know that a massage and a text message would change his life's journey. And after years of practicing physical therapy, he decided to take a lesser-known route to explore mindfulness and holistic healing.

Here's how Steven went from needing firm proof to trusting in the divine as he did the thing to tap into the subconscious.

At any event or gathering, someone inevitably sits alone in the corner. It's so easy to leave people out of the conversation. But what if you found a way to invite everyone to the dinner table instead?

Today, I spoke with Izzy Grandic, co-creator of Boob Blurb, to unveil the importance of conversing, inclusion, and exploring taboo subjects. Natural curiosity about people, our bodies, and the power of ownership led her to start a blog and explore various projects. She soon discovered a passion for working on innovation and women's empowerment. Here's how Izzy created a conversation starter to destigmatize taboo subjects surrounding women's health.

In this episode, Izzy reveals how she uses these points of the Do The Thing Formula:

Whether romantic, personal, or professional, all relationships can help you do the thing. But too many are one-sided instead of reciprocal. How can you get past the superficial level to form genuine connections?

Today I spoke with Kate Middleton, Somatic Therapist, to learn the answer. Relationships didn't always come easy for her. Through some deep inner-searching, she recognized it was the missing piece of her personal journey. This awareness helped her unlock the code for forming meaningful relationships, and she wants to share these tools so that you can connect with yourself and others in the present moment.

Listen as Kate helps me transition into a new activity and discover why authentic relating is crucial as you do the thing.

Fear keeps the most brilliant people from following their passions in life. But life is too short to live with regret. Imagine the possibilities if you finally changed your environment and stepped outside your comfort zone.

I had the privilege of chatting with my mentor, Henry J. Evans, founder of Get Clear Marketing and the leader of an inspiring mastermind. He's enjoyed many triumphs in commercial real estate, high tech, marketing, consulting, and software. At face value, his successful life seems idyllic, without a care in the world. But countless trials and tribulations—including the passing of his sister-in-law, losing a huge consulting client, racking up $142,000 in credit card debt, and draining his wife's 401(k)—shaped his journey.

Here's why Henry wants you to start small, celebrate progress, and go analog as you do the thing.
