E263: “Measure the Right Things in the Right Way” – Jeff Smith Interview
Settle in for a fascinating conversation with Jeff Smith, a person who seems to have done it all: he’s been a professional musician, a pilot, an author, an entrepreneur, a bestselling author. After being in the corporate world for several years, Jeff wanted to help other people with what he’d learned during his career: how setting clear, detailed goals can help others achieve the successes that had previously been outside of their reach. With focus and indefatigable energy, Jeff shares with Mighty Pete his personal definitions of success (which includes rest), and how his journey has landed him in the most interesting, creative places.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you follow your heart in your chosen career, your passion will ignite word-of-mouth, and loyal clientele will find you.
- KPIs help you redefine your personal or professional goals by showing you how to improve on or refine what you did in the past.
- “Success is about having something that you want to achieve and being on the journey and moving towards that. … Success is more about striving towards (something) rather than having done it.”
- Think about all the fears you have in your life. Most of them are not based in fact – they are based in conditioning. If you are dealing with obstacles in your life, work on what your conditioned beliefs are.
BEST MOMENTS
- “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re like a ship without a rudder.”
- “I began with the advertisements for my book. Because I decided I wanted to know what people would want – I spent three months defining my goal before I’d even written a word.”
- (Talking about a Tom Jones interview he listened to that changed his life) “Not having money changes people. When people have money, they become the person who they really are.”
- “We are born with only two fears: one is loud noises; the other is the fear of falling. Everything else is conditioning.”
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jeff is from England and is affectionately known as the “KPI Guy”. (Key performance indicators are of course, the quantifiable measure of progress towards an intended goal). Jeff has been a business trainer and coach for over 35 years, and a motivational speaker for over 20. In this capacity, he has travelled the world being the keynote speaker at different conferences. Jeff has written seven best-selling books about KPI and provided expert financial consulting to hundreds of corporate and individual clients. Jeff also has a valid pilot’s license and donates his time and his aeroplane to Civil Air Patrol. He also finds the time to be an Ambassador to the United Nations, registered in both Geneva and New York. While his experience is international, Jeff and his business interests remain based in the U.K.

ABOUT THE HOST
The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire in The Belly’.
Pete is an entrepreneur, mentor, coach, property Investor, and father of three beautiful girls. Pete’s background is in project management and property, but his true passion is the ‘Fire in The Belly’ project itself. His mission is to help others find their potential and become the mightiest version of themselves. Pete openly talks about losing both of his parents, suffering periods of depression, business downturn and burn-out, and ultimately his years spent not stoking ‘Fire in the Belly’. In 2017, at 37 years of age that changed, and he is now on a journey of learning, growing, accepting, and inspiring others.
Pete can connect with people and intuitively asks questions to reveal a person’s passion and discover how to live their mightiest life. The true power of ‘Fire in The Belly’ is the Q&A’s - Questions and Actions section.
The ‘Fire in The Belly’ brand and the programme is rapidly expanding into podcasts, seminars, talks, business workshops, development courses, and rapid results mentoring.
