Kate's Take

In every single one of the over 1200 interviews John has recorded for EOFire, he has asked his guest the question: "What's one business book you'd recommend for Fire Nation?" There's a reason why you've heard these books recommended a million times: the principles they discuss, the ideas they present, and the mindset they cover are incredibly important to understand if you're looking to build a successful business and create freedom in your life. This is the Top 10 list of Business Books as recommended by today's top entrepreneurs. For the post that accompanies this episode, including a quick look at what each of these books discusses (and whether or not it's the right book for your to read right now) head over to http://www.eofire.com/episode145!

This episode is a short and sweet "look ahead" so you know what to expect coming up on Kate's Take.

John started the EOFire podcast with a very specific format in mind, and to this day, he follows that same format. I didn't realize the power behind this format until I understood how repurposing content could be powerful for our audience, and in this episode, I share how I came to that realization. I also talk about how the format of the EOFire podcast has helped John discover the num. 1 thing that sets successful individuals apart, and how as a result, he's created a resource that will help others do the same exact thing these successful individuals are doing: set and accomplish goals.

In this episode I talk about how to set review periods for yourself so you're setting aside specific time to ask yourself the right questions that can help you move forward as quickly and effectively as possible.

I remember it so clearly: the day I decided I would leave my 9 to 5. It was in April of 2011, and I was just told that I wasn't going to get a promotion I thought was in the bag. What followed is what I like to refer to as the 3 phases. These 3 phases allowed me to accomplish my goal of leaving my 9 to 5, and if they helped me without me even realizing that I was going through the phases, then I know they can help you, too.
