A few weeks ago, John Lee Dumas and I had a conversation about his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment, and we've both been blown away by the response. I got a huge number of comments, emails, and responses, and John got more emails after our podcast than any other he's ever recorded.

One of the questions I was asked was simply, "What are the 17 steps to uncommon success?" With John's book still weeks away from release, I asked him if he'd be willing to pull back the curtain and share ALL of these steps with the Miracle Morning Community - and he was gracious enough to say, "Yes, let's do it!"

Today, John returns to the podcast for the second time in less than 30 days—something I've never done before—to share all 17 steps to uncommon success, with my added insights and commentary.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How a single quote (from Albert Einstein) transformed John Lee Dumas' life more between the ages of 32 and 41 than he did in his first three decades on Earth.
• The life-changing power of the ripple effect.
• John's 17 steps to achieve Uncommon Success (taken from 3,000+ interviews).
• How John was able to get the BEST person to interview for each step.
• How you can apply each step to create your own path to uncommon success.
• And much more…

Today, you're in for a treat! This episode is quite a bit different than our usual format, but I promise it's packed with a ton of value. It's actually a replay taken from a 2-hour Clubhouse welcome party that I did for The Miracle Morning Community.

In case you're not familiar with Clubhouse, it's basically an audio-only chatting app where individuals can host and join different conversations. It's sort of like a live podcast, except the major difference is that the audience is able to raise their hand and be invited onto a virtual stage to interact and participate with the speakers.

A few weeks ago, my friend Gary Henderson offered to host a welcome party as a way for me to connect and communicate with people in our community and beyond. During this 2-hour session, you'll hear an interview between me and a group of carefully selected moderators. We then shift gears and open up the dialogue to a Q&A format so people listening could join in.

We touch on A LOT of Miracle Morning related topics, but in a way that you've never experienced before. The beauty of Clubhouse is that it's not just a one-way discussion. I'm getting questions in real-time that people are struggling with, and through this platform, we get to work out the answers together.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What does it mean to elevate our consciousness and how does that collectively elevate the consciousness of humanity?
• How to take control of your inner world. What happens on the outside doesn't have to dictate what happens on the inside!
• Why every challenge we face is an opportunity to help other people ease their suffering.
• Why your resistance to reality is the cause of all of your emotional pain and suffering - and what you can do instead to overcome life's biggest challenges.
• Stories from the most difficult moments of my life, including my recent struggle with depression and losing my will to live.
• Why our dependence on smartphones is detrimental to our mental and emotional well being - and where I believe we should be focusing our attention instead!
• How to transform your state of mind at ANY moment, using Emotional Optimization Meditation.
• 3 steps you can use to create real results with your affirmations and visualizations - and the 2 biggest reasons why most affirmations never come true.
• How I use the S.A.V.E.R.S to optimize my own mental and emotional well being.
• Q&A with a ton of Clubhouse listeners!

We can all see struggle and hardship in the world, and we all want to make a difference. But how do we get our ideas off the ground and give back in authentic, effective ways?

Autumn Strier had a grand vision to help families in need, and she now lives in service of that vision every day. She's the founder and CEO of Miracles for Kids, an organization I discovered a few months back and immediately started supporting. They help families with critically ill children fight bankruptcy, homelessness, hunger and depression, giving them the resources and strength they need to fight for their kids' lives.

Thanks to you and everyone who supported The Miracle Morning Movie, we donated $9,200 from the ticket sales, and committed to donate an additional $1,000 per month, every month.

Today, Autumn and I are talking about how the kindness and generosity of others can help people build the lives they want, what happens when you get over self-doubt and believe in yourself, and the powerful ripple effect that you can create when you discover how you can best give back.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• How being on the receiving end of charity as a child and working since the age of 10 inspired Autumn to give back as she grew up.
• How Autumn turned a family friend's unused employee contribution fund and tax I.D. letter into a thriving nonprofit despite already having a full-time job, a traveling husband, a two-year-old, and a baby weeks away from being born with a critical illness.
• Why people considering starting charities should look for a unique angle and be ready to pivot - just like if you're launching a business.
• What Miracles For Kids is doing to help families during the pandemic - and how you can support this wonderful organization.

There's no way around it: we all live in a society where we have to earn money in order to pay for the things we need. However, that doesn't mean that the money we earn has to be directly linked to our time, or that we have to spend our lives doing things we don't enjoy in order to provide for ourselves and those we love.

John Lee Dumas knows this very well. On his award-winning podcast Entrepreneurs On Fire, which has over 100,000,000 listens, he's interviewed more than 2,700 of the world's most successful leaders in business. In his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success, he takes what he's learned from those 2,700 interviews and lays out a proven 17-step roadmap to help his readers achieve financial security, freedom and fulfillment.

In our conversation today, John and I talk about how he was able to overcome PTSD in order to build a multi-million dollar business, how his 17-step system is helping people to achieve their goals, and why it's time to stop being uncomfortable when it comes to talking about money.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• How John found his footing as he confronted PTSD, professional failure, and depression after serving in the US military.
• Why every single highly successful entrepreneur has followed John's 17 steps, whether they know it or not.
• How to find your big idea, discover your niche, and create a solid content production plan.
• How building the financial life you want gives you the freedom and power to give back to the people and organizations you care about the most.

A lot of us want more time, more money, and more freedom, but we don't know how to make it happen. We don't know what steps to take, what we need to do, or how to get started.

This is why Ray Higdon's message spoke to me, and I'm pleased to say that today's podcast exceeded my expectations. Ray is the author of the new book, Time, Money, Freedom: 10 Simple Rules to Redefine What's Possible and Radically Reshape Your Life. In it, he and his wife Jessica share how they achieved personal and financial independence - and give their readers a step-by-step process to build confidence and take control of their lives.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• Ray's childhood story of overcoming an abusive relationship with his stepmother.
• Why Ray decided to write the book, Time, Money, Freedom.
• Why anyone can create a great life despite a bad past.
• How your hardships can inspire others and positively impact the world.
• The concept of "plucking your weeds" - identifying and changing areas of your life that are incongruent with your values.
• Why more money = more good!
• The power of vulnerability - and why sharing your story is the inspiration others need!
• Why success shouldn't be associated with monetary gains or status - and a much better way to measure it.
• Having a WHY that makes you cry and the secret to making real progress towards it.

What are your financial goals for 2021? Entering into the New Year, we often talk about transforming our health, our relationships, and our careers - but what about our finances? I don't know about you, but I've been guilty of making mistakes when it comes to setting goals for income, savings, and wealth creation. Fortunately, there's no better time to change than now.

Joining me today to talk about this is Robert Gonzalez. Robert is the founder and CEO of MyBooks.PRO, a profitability and bookkeeping company that works with individuals and entrepreneurs. I've known Robert for fifteen years, and I was his coach back in 2009 – helping him with leadership and business strategies. Now, our roles have been reversed, as I coach with him – specifically on my finances.

In this episode, Robert and I are talking about how to track your fin

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• The common mistakes that people make when it comes to their finances.
• The difference between using QuickBooks and working with a financial coach.
• What makes financial goals not that different from the other goals we set for ourselves each year - and how to hold yourself to them, even if you have variable income.

• The four stages of financial freedom.

I'm not sure if our world has ever been this divided. From my vantage point, I've never seen so much judgement, condemnation, hatred, and vitriol toward one another, especially between people of different belief systems.

The reality is that we're all human beings. We're all part of the human family, and no matter how our beliefs might differ from one another, we're all a lot more alike than we are different. We all want to be happy, to be healthy, to have freedom, to feel safe, and to feel respected.

Inspired by a Facebook Live session I did last week, today's episode is about the consequences of judging and condemning others, the power of unconditional love (and why it's not the same thing as tolerating harmful or abusive behavior), and how this radical gesture has the power to help us heal the world.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• The consequences of judging others based on your own life experiences.
• Why human beings have so much more in common than we do differences.
• How unconditional love can heal the world, beginning with healing yourself.
• How do you love someone who has wronged you?
• Trading in your judgement for empathy.
• The difference between blame and responsibility.
• What it means to be part of a human family.
• Why putting labels on people makes it impossible to appreciate, respect, or love them.

What does it mean to achieve financial freedom? Is it being able to provide for our families and not worry about making our next rent or mortgage payment? Is it having sources of passive income that pay the bills whether you work or not ? Is it the ability to focus solely on what you want to do in life, as opposed to what you need to do?

If you're Justin Donald, it's all of the above. In addition to being a personal friend of mine for over a decade, Justin is the author of the new book, The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cash Flow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom, where he introduces readers to a paradigm-shifting mindset when it comes to earning money. He empowers people to stop thinking that money can only come from stress, toil, and time, and shares strategies and principles designed to create real, tangible passive cash flow streams.

If you value building, growing, and protecting your wealth, today's episode is for you. Justin isn't just sharing his philosophy when it comes to money, but real-world advice that you can immediately implement to improve your financial situation.

During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn:

• How lifestyle investing uses money as a vehicle for freedom.
• The steps Justin took while working full-time to create passive income streams.
• How Justin chooses and structures investments to maximize returns and minimize risk.

For every single one of us, 2020 was a year unlike any other in history. For many, it was arguably the most difficult year of their lives. For some, it was a great year. My question for all of us to consider is, what determines whether a year is good or bad?

On last week's podcast, I shared an unconventional approach to making 2021 your best year yet. I talked about why having a good year or a bad year has less to do with your results and more to do with how you choose to show up and experience each day. In other words, if you commit to show up at your best each day, regardless of your results, wouldn't that be the recipe to creating your best year ever?

Well, this week, we're focusing on more of the tangible side of things — the specific goals and measurable outcomes that you want to achieve in your life.

You're going to hear how to apply the Miracle Equation to your life in 2021, in order to move your biggest goals from possible, to probable, to inevitable and to create results beyond what you've ever imagined possible.

Today, you'll learn the 5-steps to Achieve Your Biggest Goals and Dreams:

• Step 1: Accept and Love Your Life Unconditionally
• Step 2: Redefine the Purpose of Your Goals
• Step 3: Maintain Unwavering Faith
• Step 4: Put Forth Extraordinary Effort
• Step 5: Maintain the Miracle Equation Until the Last Possible Moment
