BSP 156: The Common Path to Uncommon Success by John Lee Dumas

John Lee Dumas, author of The Common Path to Uncommon Success:
A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment is best known
for building a successful podcast empire where he shares value with
his more than 1.4 million listeners each month, wrote the book,
because he wants to help everyone – not just his audience, achieve
financial freedom. He said, “I want everybody who has a dream of
finding their version of uncommon success. Everybody who has a
dream of achieving financial freedom and fulfillment. This book
will get you there.” Dumas says that so “many people out there live
in their comfort zone,” including himself and that’s why he decided
to write a book. However, he knew he had to have the right team in
place to ensure the book was successful and help as many as
possible. Deciding what to include was a thoughtful process that
Dumas describes as painstaking process boiling down over 3,000
interviews into 17 core principles. The book is a roadmap to
achieve success and financial freedom. Dumas adds, “The path to
uncommon success is not a secret, it’s not complicated, it’s not
hidden. It’s a common path but it takes hard flipping work.” After
chasing success for over three decades, he kept coming up short.
Whether it was law school, commercial real estate, or other
ventures, it was an Einstein quote that launched his future. That’s
when he decided to stop chasing success and become a person that
adds value. Dumas has been able to build a successful empire but
that didn’t come without 6 years of struggle. Throughout his
journey he has learned plenty from his guests and from the process
of building a business. He offers the following advice, “Listen to
your audience’s biggest struggle. That will lead you to create the
product, the service, the community….to offer them as a solution.
When you create the best solution to their problem, you will always
win.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
