48 Days to the Work You Love
Check out the last question here. It?s a great question for all of us ? I trust I was honest in my response. 1. What kind of entrepreneurial choices are available for someone whose personality is that of a follower instead of a leader? I'm the type of person who enjoys working in the background and letting others manage and network with customers. 2. I have a passion for helping people work through addiction recovery. I want to write a daily devotional to help encourage them. Even better: make an audio recording they could download and listen to whenever they chose. I'm trying to get out of my day job. Do you this idea can work? 3. Dan, I am an extremely introverted person. I have been very successful in sales for almost 20 years but have been miserable the whole time. I come home to my family but just want to be left alone because I am so drained at the end of the day. I love doing research and collecting motivational and Christian quotes but don't know how to convert this into a career, particularly one that will replace my current salary ($100K/yr). Thank you! 4. Dear Dan, Could you recommend a few books on marketing that would be applicable to churches. I am currently the full-time minister for a small congregation but I see myself moving on to another congregation in the next couple of years and I would like to position myself as a church marketing expert. Any suggestions would be helpful. 5. Dan, I was contacted by a recruiter who scheduled a face to face interview regarding a job opportunity. While at the meeting, I was told, "you need to take this crap off your resume" referring to the 6 years I was a stay at home mom. In it I outlined my volunteer efforts as a Church Secretary, Co-Youth Director, and PTA helper. I was offended since I consider the time I took off to raise my kids as the most rewarding job I've ever had. I just wanted to know what your thoughts was on this, and please, offer any help you can give to women (or men) who may be up against the same hurdle. 6. I'm 44, in a job I loathe (for 20 years). I don't really know if I have a passion for anything anymore. I've lost myself through the years. How can I find what my gifts are and find my passion to work for myself? 7. If you only had 7 days to live who would you call? What would you do? Why?
read lessI?ve titled this week?s podcast ? ?Digging for Gold ? Finding Profitable Ideas in the middle of Busyness.? One of the most common questions from readers is simply how to find an idea worth pursuing. Questions like these. -My problem is lack of ideas and forgoing a steady revenue stream. -I can't think of a home business that interests me. -How can I train myself to think more creatively? -Need new ideas to generate extra income. -I the biggest obstacle is finding something I am passionate about. -What if I don't have a unique business idea? I talk about how unwelcome change may be the catalyst for your great idea ? if you are paying attention. (Example ? Dave Ramsey) I tell the two books that every successful person has read, which magazines I read, and how two hours a day transformed my own success.

How much time do I really need to free up to get my business going on the side so I can make a step rather than a leap in the next 24 months? I am a landscape painter (oil) and currently work for Corporate America! Help! 3. I'm nervous about leaving a secure salary because I failed once. Business is picking up now and I want to start treating it like a real business not a hobby. 4. I figured out I'm supportive and encouraging and half outgoing. I love helping others, encouraging people, and just being there for people when i can. I want to see others happy, to people rise above their problems, see them come to know god, help kids get on the right path. (Can I make a living doing this?) 5. I am a volunteer youth pastor, I work at a dead-end job making around 31,000 dollars a year, I attend school full time, majoring in psychology and feel like I'm getting nowhere. I really like to write. Stuff about God, stuff about politics. I love writing songs and poems too. I just don't know where to start and I'm kind of confused. I want to do the youth pastor thing but I'm broke and not sure what to do. Lots of dreams and no plans or idea as to how to get started. 6. I've begun to write bite-sized Christian devotionals for women and I'd like to be able to get them published. I have never written anything for "publication" before, but I feel I have testimonials and encouraging messages to share. I'm writing on my own--not in a writers' group; can these devotionals actually get launched? Any guidance?
read lessNo Money ? No Problem I begin this podcast by sharing about a lunch meeting with an up-and-coming music star in Nashville. Then I spend the rest of the time dealing with this all so common question ? How can I possibly start an idea of my own without ?enough? money? We had 4685 questions submitted for our recent 212Connection teleseminar. Probably 800-900 dealt with this issue. Here?s just a sampling ? then you can listen to my reasons for moving ahead even if you have zero money! 1. I have worked for a single employer for 30 years. I can retire now with half of my present income with no benefits. I need to earn enough money to make up the difference plus health care my family(wife and 4 kids ages 6 to 13) The idea of self employment sounds like a great adventure from the present torture of my current job. I am 49. 2. My greatest concern is that we have so much debt that I feel like we will never get out of it so that I can pursue my dream of owning my own business. 3. I need cash flow and looking for that is interfering with building my business - a bit ironic. 4. How do I transition form employee to entrepreneur without losing income. 5. My greatest concern is that I will be able to provide income for my family. 6. I have an idea of a business I want to invest in when I save up, but I keep hearing that I can start a business with no capital. But without the structure of the pre-set up business, I'm not sure I will every actually follow through... 7. My idea is good but what is stopping me is my credit. I don't think I can afford the start-up cost.
read less1. I've been self-employed since graduating college in 1985, and I love being self-employed. I work at home as a real estate appraiser and broker. But at 45, with 22 years of poor money management, debt, and no retirement, I'm growing more and more concerned about ever being able to retire, or not being able to work due to health reasons. I am beginning to wish I had been employed somewhere for the past 20+ years, where I would have some benefits. 2. Dan, I have been employed by a large national company the past few years. While they provide me and my family a salary and security (IE insurance) I find the work non-rewarding. I am talking to a much smaller company where the work will be more rewarding, and an opportunity to do what I love, but the security of a large company will not be there. What factors should I consider before considering this job? 3. Why did you choose wordpress over blogger or other blog sites? Also, can you make money by using a blog such as teleseminars, e-books, affiliate marketing etc.? 4. Bank account: -$450. Business loan: -$100,000 with $850/month interest only payments. Mortgage: $250,000 Degree: No. Kids: No. Husband: No. Invested in business, economy collapsed and I lost everything. On the verge of foreclosure. How do I start over? 5. My very talented husband is trying to start his own internet business. He's tried just about everything from Jeff Paul to Carlton Sheets to FOREX to Quixtar etc. He's a great poet/entertainer and wants to sell his poems. Any suggestions? 6. Dan, I am writing a book to give to my children (and to sell) and want to have someone do illustrations and really make it look nice, like those on SimpleTruths.com. How do I approach someone with it without losing the idea and content? Thanks again for your insights and inspiration.
