48 Days To The Work You Love Internet Radio Show

So many of us have early family scripts about money. Do you think money is good - or just a necessary evil to survive? Do you think more money would make you happier? Is the only purpose of money to be able to retire? Here I have a conversation with Derrick Kinney about his new book, Good Money Revolution - How to Make More Money to do More Good. Questions: 1. Isn’t the American Dream - make enough to “retire” and then you don’t have to continue the rat race of making money? 2. I know it’s nice to be generous but won’t giving more just delay my ability to retire? 3. Is there really such a thing as a “fixed income” or does everyone have the ability to make more? 4. Why do most religions seem to imply that having money is unGodly?

It's healthy to know you're off track - at any point in your life. But then you can look inward and find your true focus. 85% of the process of having the confidence of proper direction in your career and life - comes from looking inward first. Questions: 1. How do I quit living this fake life and start living a real one? 2. The attached email seems to be legitimate. How can I be sure? How should I respond? 3. At what point do I need to get a business license so I don’t get in trouble with the law? 4. I heard you mentioning how you make money off the cars that you drive. I would like to know how you took something which most people "consume" and turned it into an investment.

This is a special Valentine’s Day episode where I invited my wife, Joanne, to join me and talk about the relationship side of success. Questions: 1. Lovin - how do you keep love alive when there are kids, in-laws, grandparents, work and more to fit in? 2. Learnin - as you continue to grow - which we hope you do - how do you handle changing the person you were when you first met and got married? 3. Earnin - yes, there’s that ongoing responsibility to create income. And if you have a business of your own - with unpredictable income - how do you handle the ups and downs - the uncertainty or the 10 times the income you had five years ago. Summary Recap Maintain Right Mindset, Right Idea, and Right Network Create a Family Mission Statement Embrace Personality Differences as Strengths Have a Decision Making Process Create a plan for irregular income Practice Love, Respect and Kindness at all times Your best laid plans will change - enjoy the journey Get direct links to the resources mentioned in this podcas

I start this by telling how Joanne and I moved across the country - with no idea where we would live, or what I would do for work. But we had a dream of a better life and we took massive action before having all the details in place. Don't just live in your dreams. Take action - every step can move you closer to seeing that dream come true. Questions: 1. I’m feeling ashamed that I’m so far behind on your Stages of Life model. 2. I don’t know what to do to make my life better. 3. Should I stay at my government job for 1.5 more years to get full retirement benefits or leave now? 4. The idea of self employment is somewhat intimidating, but I'm trying it out in smaller increments. Five point summary: A dream is a wish your heart makes. A plan makes your feet move. "I had no choice," actually means, "I had only one path that was easy in the moment.” “I don’t know what to do to make my life better.” “Pray, but when you pray, move your feet.” Don’t stop learning and growing, no matter what stage of life yo

A listener feels like he's gotten trapped by getting a paycheck. He says, I took the path of least resistance which has led me down a perilous pike of disappointment and despair. As a direct result of our financial obligations, I absolved myself of the freedom to easily pursue my dreams for the oppressive restraints of debt. The merry-go-round of my professional life has left me no farther than a few steps from where I got on and now with a weak stomach.” Let's discuss what to do if you have similar feelings. Questions: 1. In addition to the Great Resignation what is another silent form of resignation? 2. Why are companies looking for “pre-quitting” behaviors? 3. Does your company need a “dream manager”? 4. Are you still sitting on that nail?

Each week we hear from people who are 27 and those who are 77 who feel they missed their opportunity for success. Like they've missed the window of time where they could have done something significant. Phrases like “I feel like I’ve lived my whole life by accident”, “I feel like my life is a movie that’s almost over, and I haven’t even bought the popcorn yet” and “I’m a butterfly caught in a spider’s web, with my life slowly being sucked out of me” are common. There's hope! No matter where you are in life you can still move toward the dream and how you want to be remembered. I've got a framework for your stage of life - right now. Questions: 1. You don't really talk about the tech side of your podcast much, but I am curious what podcast host you use? Also, any other information / equipment that you think is best for setting up a podcast. 2. What if I’m too old to chase my dream? Get the direct links to the resources mentioned in this podcast, including the resource “When is it too late to find work you love"

I've always loved setting big goals at the beginning of each year. In fact, I am consistent about having my goals completed for the coming year, in seven different areas of my life, by November 14th of each preceding year. But recently I’ve been challenged by some people I love and trust about the necessity of approaching the new year in that manner. People whom I highly admire, who are kind and loving, and also very high achievers. Maybe it's more about mindset than having a to-do list. Questions: 1. I would LOVE to do a remote job or start my own home business. I am so scared of the financial aspect of it. 2. After much arguing with my husband, I am almost at the point of giving up but I feel deep down that I must go on. 3. I am in the process of launching a podcast called “Life’s Final Hour” which consists of interviewing people that have 6 months or less to live to learn life’s most important lesson. 4. I want to get your insight on moving from being an employee to being a consultant. 5. I need to f

Questions: 1. When you were first getting started, how did you decide that career and life coaching was your niche? 2. How can we get people who have the means to help with spreading our message to people who need it but can’t afford it? 3. How do you get someone to join your mission? 4. I have a dream of opening a breakfast cafe with a limited menu that could serve as a location for people to gather for Bible studies. 5. Hi Dan, I’m seriously considering real estate investments in 2022. I know they are many ways to invest in RE but I want to choose the option that allow me to invest my time going on mission trips.

I'm so aware right now of people who are fearful, discouraged, frustrated and lonely. It's clear the uncertainty and unexpected changes of the last two years have contributed to many feeling ungrounded and vulnerable. It doesn’t take money to give some of the most precious gifts: time, encouragement, a listening ear. Be very aware of those around you, especially during that time of year. Give the gift of a smile today. It costs you nothing, and you still have it to give again and again. Questions: 1. Is it a bad thing to avoid work? 2. My husband and I both realized it wasn't just job satisfaction we were struggling with, it was our entire lifestyle. 3.

How can I find time for another income stream when working 60 hours a week already and taking care of family members with health issues?

4.4 million people quit their jobs in October. The "antiwork" movement is growing rapidly. Is being "free" from work really "freedom?" Maybe Janis Joplin framed it best with "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." In 48 Days to the Work You Love I quote Leo Tolstoy who discovered “that work, and not idleness, is the indispensable condition of happiness for every human being.” Questions: 1.

The eagles build a nest using thornbush strands to lock it together. Then they cover them with leaves and feathers to make it soft and comfortable. However, when the eaglets are about twelve weeks old, mom and dad eagles begin to remove the protection from the thorns. Pretty soon the little eaglets are up on the edge of the nest to avoid the pain and discomfort. Then mom and dad eagle fly by with tasty morsels of food just out of reach. Soon the little eaglet makes a big leap to get away from the pain and the hunger, and you know what happens – he learns he can fly. Questions: 1. After 10 years, my job has turned into a nightmare.

A record-breaking 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August across an array of industries, according to a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). What’s going on?

If you are fortunate enough to get a 4% raise, or even a 10% raise as we end the year, you'll never keep up with the rapid economic changes we're going through.

No, money is never the obstacle. Coming up with an idea and a plan is the real issue. If you have a great idea and a proven plan of action, people will throw money at you.
