EB: What would you say is the key for success?
JD: Being goal oriented. It is essential to set both short and long-term goals and then diligently work toward them.  And it is important to continually revise and upgrade goals as original ones are met.

EB: When did you consider yourself a success and why?
JD: I considered myself a success each time I achieved goals I had established for myself. Then I would set new goals and work toward them.  Success became for me a process of achieving successive goals.

EB: When things were challenging, how did you push through the tough times?
JD: By remaining focused on the goals I had set and defining daily tasks that would help me achieve them. Perseverance is essential through difficult times.

EB: Did you have any success habits that you would like to pass on for others to consider?
JD: I think that establishing written goals with timeframes for achievement is essential. A well written plan with tangible, achievable goals is the framework for success.

EB: What is your favorite quote?
JD: One of my favorite quotations … not famous but essential to success.

“The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.”

–Denis Watley

EB: What is the most significant part of your career journey that you feel helped with your success?
JD: Working with my partners to establish and grow a business.  This required a blending of individual and corporate goals to achieve success.

EB: What motivated you in the morning?
JD: Through most of my career I was motivated by creating meaningful employment for others through the companies that I managed and grew.

EB: What advice would you give to those reading this interview?
JD: Define where you are going and when you want to get there, recognizing that there are a series of destinations on the way to success.

EB: Share some life lessons you learned along the way in your career.
JD: Review your written goals frequently so that you recognize your successes along with the way. Never fail to help others along the way.

EB: Is there anything else you would like to share?
JD: I believe your Master Mind Teams are a great concept and could greatly support individuals in setting and achieving goals.

    • Chris – thank you for sharing! I can understand your view that it is not goals that make us successful, they are the vision from which our actions/habits create the opportunity to achieve them. I do believe without a vision/goal, one can wander and go in circles and finding a constructive path for where they wish to go becomes elusive. I would like to know what you believe are some good habits to instill for success; perhaps what you schedule on a daily basis. It is always nice to learn other’s perspectives and what works for them!
