We are so excited to bring you today’s special episode featuring 7-figure podcaster, John Lee Dumas, live from stage at our recent Ignite Event to speak on his journey and leap from the corporate world into entrepreneurialism! John’s post-military life found him sitting in a cubicle, commuting to work, and doing the suit and tie thing, every day, like so many others do. For him, this simply wasn’t enough. As he puts it, he wasn’t living his life on fire and he felt his life slowly extinguishing. After 6 years of trying different career paths and not find his passion he had a defining moment one day while on a long commute when he ran out of podcasts to listen to. A lightbulb went off and he said, “There needs to be a 7-day a week podcast.” And, what John wanted to make unique about his show in interviewing entrepreneurs was not only highlighting their current successes, but specifically talking about their failures, their “ah-ha” moments, and what we can learn from their trials. Making that leap from a 6-figure stable corporate salary to start a podcast was terrifying, John admits. However, he acknowledges, that the feeling of being scared is also proof that you’re on the right track. You have to get outside of your norm and your comfort zone in order to make radical change happen in your life. And, “You have to find your leverage point”, John says. For him, it comes back to a pledge he made to 4 dear friends and comrades he lost while serving in the Iraq war, which was that he was not going let their sacrifice be for nothing by living anything less than what is his life on fire. When it came to starting his podcast, John had a bit of an issue in that he had no idea whatsoever how to create a podcast! So, he made a very strategic move that he will be forever grateful for, which was to reach out to someone who was where he wanted to be and ask to be mentored by that person. Luckily, the person accepted John’s request, and with a hefty investment from John to his mentor in exchange for her coaching, that was the moment that made it real for him. He was no longer a dreamer or an amateur. He had become a “doer” and aspiring professional. When it was time to build his business, John’s foresight and discipline to avoid distraction and avoid trying to jump on everything that appeared to be an opportunity is what truly allowed him to focus and thrive in his “lane”. Most people want to cast out their net and go one mile wide and one inch deep, never creating any real depth in any particular area. John, however, had the complete opposite approach, he chose to go one inch wide and one mile deep, creating a massive focus on the things he needed to do to be successful. Your income and happiness will be directly related to how you use that time. He reminds us that no matter what business you’re in, your biggest asset is your time. So, very true. And, finally, we ask John to describe his life on fire, which he answered with two words, “Ripple Effect”. Meaning, he feels that he’s truly having an impact when not only does he receive a message from someone thanking him for how he’s inspired or helped that person, but THAT person has an email from someone who they have helped an inspired. Amazing! If you’d like to learn more on how to start your own podcast, go to http://lifeonfire.com/paradise, to learn directly from John, how to start your own podcast and follow in his footsteps!

I cannot begin to tell you how transformational the Ignite Event was for the 300 people who were lucky enough to attend. We are still getting emails and Facebook comments almost daily from those who were there. I've put together some exclusive event footage that I think you're going to love! You're going to see how we literally walked across thousands of shards of broken glass and punched through 1-inch thick boards! (Sounds crazy, I know, because it WAS!) And, I also included some really special footage for you from our Firestarter client Inspiration Panel from stage. Where you hear our client Molly's amazing results! She became a Firestarter coaching client of ours 12 months ago, and she's now leaving her government job to work full time in her business (and make a LOT more money)... And, hear from another Firestarter coaching client of ours, Chadi, who fired 80% of his clients who weren't ideal, and in less than 6 months completely replaced that income with ideal clients who he loves working with! Make sure you watch all the way to the end if you're interested in finding out how you can achieve results like Leeta, Molly, Chadi, and MANY others... Enjoy! If this Ignite event footage fires you up, please give us a 5-star rating and write us a review in iTunes! Thanks so much for subscribing to the Life on Fire TV podcast! You’re a champion!

Some call it “putting butts in seats”, today we’re calling it “How to Fill a Room at a Live Event”. When planning a live event, by far the biggest concern is always making sure the room is full. If it’s your first event, you may want to start off with a small 1-day event of, say, 50 to 100 people, depending on the costs involved. As you get more comfortable with hosting events and knowing your strategy on how you’re going to attract attendees, you can build up to large events, such as a 3-day event with several hundred attendees. A great strategy for attracting attendees is running Facebook advertising. This allows you to test your ticket sales process on a relatively small budget and it allows you to laser target the type of people your event is meant for. Similar to many sales processes, there needs to be a sense of urgency for why people need to sign up now. Most likely you will have minimum numbers that you need to reach with your venue to avoid extra charges. So, it is critical to know your attendance as far in advance as possible. One way to create that urgency is through offering lower priced tickets to people to sign up early and raising the price as the event get closer. For us, with our upcoming Ignite Event, we offered free tickets to anyone who registered by September 30th. If you’re considering a free ticket offer, it is highly recommended that you still collect some sort of refundable deposit, such as a $97 deposit, so you know who is actually going to attend vs. who has great intentions to attend, but isn’t actually going to show up. From there, follow up is key. Your attendees need to receive a confirmation email with the details of your event and any information they need to book travel. If you’re working with a hotel and you’ve secured a hotel room block, that information needs to be clearly communicated to your attendees. Following up with a welcome phone call is a great way to make your attendees feel special and to make sure you’re communicating important event details to them. Another fantastic opportunity you have in your follow-up communication is to encourage your attendees to bring a friend. Making the bring-a-friend process simple for your attendees can allow you to increase your attendance by up to 30%! If you want to see how this whole process is modeled, go check out IgniteEvent2014.com. And, even better, if you want to see how an entire 3-day event for 300+ people is run, AND learn amazing marketing strategies, AND gain an even more successful mindset, AND make incredible life-long business connections… Then, plan to ATTEND Ignite! It’s December 5th-7th in San Diego, California! Grab your ticket today at IgniteEvent2014.com! Fired up about hosting or attending a live event! If so, we would greatly appreciate you writing a review in iTunes telling us what you love about Life on Fire TV and leave us a 5-star rating! Thank you for subscribing to our podcast in iTunes!
