What’s more important to you? Entertainment or results? I know it can be tempting to go with the flow and do what tickles your fancy. But that is entertainment. If you want better business success, then it’s time to start controlling the monkey mind!
In this interview with John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneurs on Fire, I cover:
- Why it’s essential to define your primary value.
- How to tame the monkey mind to get what you want… FASTER.
- A visioning process to get clear about your goals.
Want business success? Don’t give in to the whims of your monkey mind.

– TRANSCRIPT –
John Lee Dumas: [00:00:00] Why are choosing the right goals so important. Why is choosing the right plan so important? How do we do that?
David Wood: [00:00:07] It depends. If what your main value is entertainment, then you don’t need to choose any goals at all. And I’m not being facetious. It’s fun to just wake up and say, Hey, what am I going to do today?
Let me check email. See if something’s interesting. Let me respond to messages. All right, let’s see. What’s next. That’s fine. It’s only if you want more results, you want better results. If you want to make more money in your business, you want to do it faster and you want to do it with more time off. That’s when it matters, because the monkey mind has to be told what to care about and what not.
So one way we do it. Is do a little visioning process. We ask ourselves, how do I want to feel at the end of 2021, for example, and then you work backwards. Well, what do I need to be doing to have that? All right. So one of my goals, what are we going to have? And then equally important. This is the stuff I would like to do this year.
I’m going to choose not to, until this other stuff is done. Now, that’s not easy. It’s not easy for me, John. I want to do everything and I want to do it now. Like a kid with that shiny object. Oh, this toy, this toy, this toy now that’s entertaining, but Fire Nation. I got to say. What’s your highest value? Is it entertainment?
Is it producing that adrenaline, that dopamine of getting that email done and that little task down that doesn’t matter? Or is it results in your business, in your life?
John Lee Dumas: [00:01:39] David, let’s just break this down now. How do you want Fire Nation to connect with you? How can we learn more from you? Any gift or checklist or something that you have for us that we can just continue to consume this wisdom of yours? Give that to us now.
David Wood: [00:01:53] Sure mate, I lined up a gift basket of goodies. So what we’ve got is a checklist. That’ll cover the five steps and then another five, we didn’t get to cover in this conversation. And I did a two hour training and no one really wants to sit through two hour training. So I went through and spent hours boiling it down to the best stuff.
Got it down to 35 minutes. It’s on how to double your revenue and your income in the next 12 months. And I’m happy to give listeners free access to that. Plus if you want to get on a call with me, for people who qualify and you can find out about that, I’ll get on the phone for 15 minutes and help you spot the low hanging fruit in your business.
