"John Lee Dumas has never been afraid to pull back the curtain and let you in on what it really takes to stand out and reach your goals. This book is no different.

You've heard it all before.

This is another stereotypical brand building self help book where the author constantly redirects you to their website. This book really suffers in audio form as the author is speaking a million miles per hour. I found myself constantly zoning out towards the end of the book. if you're focus is entirely on podcasting, then this might benefit you, otherwise, you're not missing anything.

Had to return because of narration.

Good information in the part of the book I listened too. Author blew his own horn quite a bit, but you expect that in this kind of book. I couldn't get past the narrators high pitch voice and speaking style. I tried, but at a certain point I had to stop listening. I returned the audio book.

Stacked with valuebombs

Best book about entreprenourship I've ever read/listened to. I already loved JLDs podcast, but this is a whole other level. No fluff, just awesome straightforward actionable advice. Thanks JLD

EXCEPTIONAL. Every entrepreneur should read this.

I have been a loyal listener of Entrepreneurs on Fire for years and I have learned SO MUCH over those years. In The Common Path to Uncommon Success, John does an exceptional job of taking so much of that education and weaves it expertly with his own story. So much actionable advice and critical mindset support in this book and on the podcast. Highly recommend both!!

Great book

I used Audible while reading this book on the Kindle. As an EOF listener it just made since to have JLD read it to me! JLD's knowledge and expertise is shown in this body of work and the knowledge of the people he interviewed and included did as well. I will be listening/reading a couple of times to make certain I can achieve uncommon success!

An excellent ‘entrepreneurial’ blueprint, written by an excellent guide; JLD. I highly recommend.

I could go on and on about this book, and the author — but I’ll just get straight to it. I’ll take the liberty of telling you the three most important things in these 250 odd pages... 1) the book is very well written - with an enthusiasm that’s contagious, 2) it outlines the exact path, a ‘blueprint’ for you to follow to create your own entrepreneurial success, and 3) the book is overflowing with firsthand, entrepreneurial knowledge - from dozens of the most successful entrepreneurs from around the world. I highly recommend; “The Common Path to Uncommon Success.” The quality of the writing and the passion for the project really shows.

Good content needs better narrator

While I love the content, this book is hard to listen to. It’s often my biggest pet peeve when a really great author thinks they are a great narrator💁 and very few are. This is an example of that. Speaking really fast and breathlessly doesn’t really appeal to me when I’m trying to digest serious content. John’s excitement comes through, but I’d definitely get a more experienced narrator. That would improve this book immensely.

Best online business book

I have listened to a ton of business books, and this one is in my top 3 for sure.

Phenomenal Book!

Absolutely using this as a guideline to success!!! Thank you! Thank you Thank you! 😊

Such a wealth of actionable business know-how!

I have been an avid listener of EON, and have great respect for John Lee Dumas.

As a budding entrepreneur who is trying to morph from 9/5 mental health therapist to creating a business (The Mental Health Toolbox) providing actional knowledge on personal development at scale, I cannot think of a better book to have invested my time into at this point in my journey.

Thank you John!

With much gratitude,

Absolutely Brilliant

It’s by JLD, what more do I need to say?

THE most actionable book on business success I have ever read...EVER. And I have read a lot.

The best book for entrepreneurs

This book is brilliant. I listened to it in one sitting at 2x speed on the release date, to get a full picture of the 'journey' described in the book. I am now planning to take each step that JLD describes in his book and implement them in my own journey. Many of the steps John describes in the book I am pleased to say I already do, but there are some real gems in there that need careful listening to.

Every new entrepreneur must read this!

I am definitely recommending this book to all of my entrepreneur friends - what an amazing and inspiring book! Keep’em coming JLD :-)

Very useful book for any would be entrepreneurs

I got a lot out of this book. It’s full of practical advice and inspiring quotes. Only downside is the authors painful love of saying ‘you got this’ after every sentence. If you can get past that then it’s definitely worth a listen.

I knew this would be good!

Having listened to many episodes of Entrepreneurs On Fire, and seeing John speak in person I knew his book would be good, and I wasn’t disappointed.
The roadmap to uncommon success is easy to follow and I love the sections at the end of the book.
Great job JLD!

Great book on hacks to grow your business

I listened to this book after a recommendation of Pat Flynn and found it inspiring. Great story, great examples and easy to follow here and now steps for growing your business and approaching your freedom.

My biggest takeaway so far is FOCUS = follow one course until success. Up until now I was running a few projects simultaneously to little or no avail. Now, I am focusing on one as of a fortnight ago and I'll see where it will lead me.

I recommend listening at 1,5x - 2x speed.

The LeBron James of Podcasting

You have to get the audio version of this book! As an avid EOFire listener, it was a must for me. John is a beacon of positivity. He will lift you up and even set your soul on fire!

The book is a very practical guide to coming up with your great idea and making it a reality. It’s relatable, it’s straight talking and it’s exactly what an aspiring entrepreneur should read whether they are at the beginning or in the middle of their journey.

Great job JLD!

Great, inspiring book.

I feel like I’ve lived this journey with pre release bonuses etc so I was very pleased when launch day came. It did not disappoint. Well written JLD!!

Momentum

This guy knows it. So many value bombs. Every single chapter.
I preordered this and had big expectations. These have been met.

Thoroughly recommend this book!
