I bought your 48 days series a while back and I have to thank you for helping me to make the tough decisions it took to get me where I am. It was God’s plan for me to listen to a radio show about 48 days and come right home and order it, the timing was really a miracle. Your encouragement and God’s will have been such a blessing. – Damita Penry, http://www.powerbalm.com
A week after reading your book 48 Days to the Work You Love — and I read it nonstop — I have a job that I love as a legal assistant. Thank you for your ministry! – Kathi Wrono
I’m thrilled with your company. The excellent business practices and the integrity permeate every facet and radiate the Person of God. I find that extremely refreshing in a business, and more than a little challenging personally. Thank you for “spurring me on to good works.” – Lisa L. Swanson
For the last two years, I was stuck in a job that I hated, working with an incompetent manager who micromanaged every aspect of my job and resented every good idea I had. I was in education, and I hated it. I bought your book, 48 Days to the Work You Love, and over the first month of 2005 I evaluated my entire life. I dug deep into myself, applied for two jobs and in June of 2005, my wife, son, and I narrowed our drive to visit family from 4 hours to 15 minutes. My wife’s dream has been fulfilled by moving very close to family, and I have a job I love! Your book was inspirational and supportive. However, your weekly e-newsletter kept 48 Days on the forefront of my mind, and forced me to deal with poisons in my life every week! I now have an on-going collection of quotes from your e- newsletter that I turn to for inspiration. My wife and family thank YOU for passing along your gifts and experience to everyone! – Paul Brunner
I just wanted to let you know the program worked just as you said. I had been trying to get a job as a mechanic with the Utilities for over 2 years. I called the Lady at the Employment Department every few weeks and got no place with her. She would always just tell me I didn’t have what they were looking for at that time. I had heard about the 48 days program and ordered it. I did as you said, called the main operator and got the Fleet Managers name and the direct address to that department, sent the letter and then the Resume. Got the interview that week and was ready for it thanks to the program and all the good info. I even would sit in front of a full mirror and drill myself. I guess you know the rest of the story, I start my new job at the end of this month. Thanks so much for all the good you are doing for people. – John Godfrey
I must tell you I get all of your newsletters I used the info in it to change careers in mid life! I have been with my company 10 years this December. I now make nearly $50,000/yr. not including my benefits and I love my job & most of all my life! Your coaching far extends your physical parameters…I am sending this as a testament to your advice-people can take it or leave it, but if they decide to take it, they will find themselves parlaying their life into something they can be both proud of and satisfied with. Keep up the good work & positive mentoring-it is invaluable. – Patricia Khalil, MS
I have been so inspired by the book (I’m only half done) that I gave my 2-week notice and quit my job of 28 years as a state employee, I just couldn’t do it another day. I would like to buy 10 books, possibly more and give them away. – Gloria Banks
I have just been hired at what promises to be the best job I have ever had, and I’m telling you this because I want you to know, in no uncertain terms, why I have the job. I have it because–AND ONLY BECAUSE–I read your book. Period, end of story, bada bing, etc. I plan to finish the current book (I sort of put it down when I got the job I wanted, of course, that just proves how good it is). If you ever need anything from me, I owe it to you. – Jason T. Sparks
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that because of your programs, 48 Days to Creative Income and 48 Days To The Work you Love, I am now ready to launch my new business. I loved both programs and have incorporated many of the principles that you teach in the programs into this effort. I haven’t had to borrow any money to make this thing happen and have taken an original idea and made it a reality. Working to realize someone else’s dreams just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore. Thanks again for your help and your faithfulness to your ministry. – Steve Parrish
Today, I got offered a position as a Jenny Craig weight loss consultant. I’m thrilled as it is so closely related to my desire to help people achieve personal goals. I will gain valuable experience with gaining, maintaining, and coaching individuals. I am so thrilled that I will not be waiting tables, but that finally my life is on a CAREER path. Once again, I credit Dan’s book with helping me define my desires, identify my passions, understand my skill set and move me towards actually getting paid to BE ME! Ah! I’m so excited. I’m going to make money BEING ME! – The 48 Days Poster Child, Tina Mollers
I enjoy your newsletter immensely and I believe your views on “self employment” are on target. I left the corporate newspaper world three years ago. I started my own business, which I still run, as well as work for an insurance company, utilizing my 25 plus years of sales experience. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy reading the words of encouragement you forward each week. It helps keep me focused. – Roger S. Miklos
Dan Miller was the catalyst for me finally starting my business — the business that I had dreamed about for years. His coaching went far beyond what would normally be expected. He believed in my dream when I did not. He had confidence in me when I did not. And, he shared his knowledge and expertise when I had none. I will be forever indebted to him!

I am a marriage and family therapist at a drug and alcohol treatment center, 32 hours a week. And I also am building a private practice a day and a half a week. Dan, I have found my passion. You were very instrumental in helping me make this change in my life’s journey. You are an instrument of God. – David
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy this news letter! I get lots of “e-stuff” but I think your news letter is the “pick of the crop”.
Thanks again,
John Ward
I really can’t believe your system worked for me. I purchased both books “48 Days To The Work You Love” and “48 Days To Creative Income” and in 35 days I got a job – no, a career change. I was very skeptical at first and got very frustrated along the way, but I stuck to your plan of mailing intro letters, cover letters, resumes, and follow up phone calls. And it really worked I start my new career on June 3 and I know I’m going to love it. The most amazing part is this company had just hired a person for the position I wanted, so they were not even looking for employees, but they decided they could use two of us. I still don’t believe it I have not gotten a job totally own my own in almost 20 years. It feels great. I’m telling everybody how I did it with the 48 Day plan.
Thanks,
Kirk Poulnot
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for all your help during my recent career crisis. You changed my life!……….You really guided my to the place where I was able to make a very important career decision……….I felt empowered to make my decision after your analysis and consultation.- Cindy H.
I now have a clearer idea how I can improve not only my job hunting skills but have a more fulfilling life. Thank you for helping me work for what is right for me. I know myself better than any person, and you’re helping me see how to benefit from this knowledge. – Stephanie S.
To say you nailed me 100% would be putting it lightly! I am still assimilating the information and understanding that I was given. It is amazing to me the freedom I already feel in my pursuits now that the goal is more defined. Again, thank you for your insight and encouragement. – Donny M.
I have been professionally lost all of my life, because I was making career choices that did not match my personality. Because of your material, I will forever be a happier and more contented professional. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Mary W.
The promotion to National Sales Manager came true!….I’ve never been happier! The incredible part of the whole experience is the support and joy being expressed by my co-workers and clients. I will always be grateful for your guidance in getting me back on the ‘path.’ – Derek A.
The material is right on target and was immediately helpful!………emotionally very helpful, and that was what needed attention……my spiraling down into depression, has been checked, and I’m back on track. – Jill S.
Through your material I have learned how to properly assess my strengths, talents, and experience. I have also learned the valuable lesson that ‘diamonds’ are often in our ‘own back yard’! Through this process, I am confident that I understand what is the right kind of career/business for me.” – Kelley B.
Only 45 days after getting the material, I received a job offer from a television station in Knoxville……….it’s the work I love, where I want to live. By applying the disciplines found in 48 Days, their initial ‘budget’ salary grew another 58% to the ‘judge-it’ stage. Thank you for your invaluable service. – Tim P.
I have been busy using the procedures outlined in 48 Days. My new resume has been designed around my skills rather than my employment history. I’m sure it’s no surprise to you but it works. I’ve sent out 12 letters, then followed with a cover letter and resume and in each case, the company president of human resource director has taken my call.
(14 days later) Please excuse my handwritten note. I am writing from work on my first day and haven’t figured out how to use my new work processor. It feels good to be back on a payroll. – Dave P.
I just want to thank you for all your guidance and wise counsel……..The process was well worth the effort, and in fact exceeded my expectations. With your help, I have been able to define new and nurturing directions for my life and vocation, and am actively pursuing those directions. I look forward to the future with confidence and excitement. – Stephen D.
