His newest work, The Self-reliant Entrepreneur 366 Daily Meditations to Feed Your Soul and Grow Your Business, taps into the wisdom of 19th-century transcendentalist literature and the author\u2019s own 30 year entrepreneurial journey to challenge today\u2019s entrepreneurs to remain fiercely self-reliant while chasing their own version of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My big takeaway from today\u2019s conversation is that there are two major challenges that every entrepreneur will run into - two major roadblocks. The first challenge is distraction, losing time, not making useful gains because you\u2019re getting sidetracked. It\u2019s the result of a lack of focus, but ultimately, distraction is really crippling because there\u2019s only so many days in a row that you can not make progress before you have to throw in the towel for anything you\u2019re doing. So remember, that distraction will keep you from making those daily gains. The second thing that John shares is one of the biggest challenges or failure points for entrepreneurs and creatives is comparison, and that\u2019s getting caught up in what other people are doing. So the reason comparison is so deadly is because at best, it\u2019s a distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In this broadcast,<\/strong> <strong>John<\/strong> <strong>and I talk about:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>How did John enter the marketing space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the greatest frustrations in marketing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did John decide to write his first book<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What caused John to shift to self-reliant entrepreneurship marketing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did John choose a workbook style format for his book<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How-to books and the lack of \u201cwhy\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How did mid-19th century writings influence John\u2019s book<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In what ways did John approach his book in a \u201cmorning routine\u201d fashion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the most appropriate level of entrepreneurship is John\u2019s book most helpful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the common challenges that entrepreneurs face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can you use mindfulness to increase productivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are John\u2019s thoughts on goals and setting your aim as an entrepreneur<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are some examples of hacks or tricks to stay focused&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are John\u2019s closing thoughts for 2020<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In The Trenches with Tom Morkes on YouTube:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ITT 214: The Self-Reliant Entrepreneur with John Jantsch\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/exsWYaWudw8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Connect with John:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Check out John\u2019s book at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/ducttapemarketing.com\/the-self-reliant-entrepreneur\/\" target=\"_blank\">selfreliantentrepreneur.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ducttapemarketing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">ducttapemarketing.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the Latest Broadcasts of In The Trenches on Your Favorite Podcast Platform:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tommorkes.com\/itt\/itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Subscribe to In The Trenches on iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tommorkes.com\/itt\/spotify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Listen to In The Trenches on Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tommorkes.com\/itt\/play\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Get your weekly dose of In The Trenches on Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How You Can Support In The Trenches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Did you enjoy today's broadcast of In The Trenches?
