We all know that the path to entrepreneurship isn’t easy – it takes a lot of hard work.

However, I want to let you in on a little secret – the path to entrepreneurship is more common than you might think

It may not be easy – but you’re not alone on this path!

What if I also told you that I know of a roadmap to guide you step-by-step into that reality, right to financial freedom and fulfillment?

Well, I have just the resource for you! 

This week on the Epic Success podcast, I talk with my friend and host of the podcast Entrepreneurs on Fire, John Lee Dumas, about his new book out for pre-order, The Common Path to Uncommon Success. In his book, John shares a 17-step roadmap to creating your path to your unique, uncommon success. 

Seventeen steps outlining exactly how to achieve your version of success in your life and business?! I say, yes, YES and yesss. Grab a pen and paper – this episode is packed full of goodness that you don’t want to miss!



The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:

  • Financial freedom alone means nothing, …if you don’t have fulfillment.

    Financial freedom is often the big goal, right?! Without fulfillment though, it can leave us feeling like something is missing. In this episode, and in his book, John emphasizes the correlation between financial freedom and fulfillment – and the significance, importance (and reality) of having both! [9:58]
  • Start at step 1 – no matter where you’re at in your journey, start at step 1.

    Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been running your business for a decade – start at step 1. Every step you go through during this 17-step process, you’ll either confirm the foundation you’ve already built and move-on to the next OR you’ll find things that need to be tweaked. This roadmap is for every single person, and every single person should start at step 1! [13:24]
  • Step 1 is identifying your big idea.

    When you get out of bed in the morning, what are you excited about? What do you feel you have a significant amount of knowledge about that could be helpful to others? In a world where so many people are looking for their next big idea, it’s so important to hone in on exactly what it is that you can bring to the table – your big idea! From there, it’s all about finding your niche within that big idea – which is step 2 of the process. [14:14]

When you think of your unique version of uncommon success – what does it look like? Imagine it, envision it – and vow to yourself to take the next right step to making that a reality, because it’s possible!

I’m so inspired by John’s new book, and I hope you are too! I can’t wait to hear all about the transformation, freedom and fulfillment it brings.
