1. I have been burdened with the thought that I am not very good at anything.

2. Should I walk out of this hostile job without knowing where I’m going?

3. Please help Dan! I have the option to make over 110 grand or pursue my entrepreneurial passions.

4. I want to provide an East Indian food service to truckers…Any ideas?

5. Hey Dan, What do you think about the Self-Storage business?

6. If I start a new business I feel extreme pressure because I cannot afford to fail at all.

    I love that “encourage people to talk about themselves,” followed by your authentic theme. I think that is so important to truly be authentic. There is nothing better than knowing a real-deal authentic person! This is a must listen podcast!

    Another great podcast as usual—there are always little nuggets of wisdom even when a question doesn’t (initially) apply to me. However, I feel especially compelled to comment this week for two reasons:

    1) I would love a “failure” themed podcast. I think it’s fair to say this topic haunts us all, especially over-motivated under-achievers, such as myself.

    2) “I’m Fine, Thanks” is a great film. I recommend checking it out. The film features interviews snippets of many prominent authors/dreamers/doers, such as Jonathan Fields and Chris Guillebeau.

    Thanks for all the wonderful weekly advice Dan.

    There are the times to “just get out and something” while working on the “long term.”
    Thank you Dan.

    Thank you – Great Podcast this week. The notes I took are blended with two podcast – so – I don’t remember if the quote was from this on another. Anyway I like the comment you made to do something that scares you everyday. Wow, I liked that and will write some ideas on that.
