Hi this is Dan Miller – and yes you’re listening to the 48 Days Radio show – where each week we take 48 minutes to dive into real life questions about finding your passion, deciding what kind of life you want to live – and then finding or creating work that allows you to show up every day, excited to be able to do something that is meaningful, fulfilling – and profitable. This is where normal, indecision and ambiguity come to die. Welcome to the 48 Days Radio Show.

- have a free resource that you give away that will add people to your email list so you can build a relationship with them

The Stages of Life As It Relates to Career
- Learning – In your 20s – A time when you try lots of things to see which ones motivate you. There are not many things you can do in your 20s that I would consider mistakes.
- Experimenting – In your 30s – You sort out your interests (and your friends) to eliminate the ones that don’t fit who you are and where you’re going.
- Mastery – In your 40s – You focus on the things you’ve kept after the experimenting stage. You’re developing your skills and becoming an expert at them.
- Reaping – In your 50s – The period you reap the rewards of the decisions you’ve made previously and create systems to reach your highest earning potential.
- Guiding – In your 60s – You mentor others with the wisdom you’ve gained in prior years and leverage your major life message
- Legacy – In your 70s – The decade you put things in place that will live on when you’re no longer here.
- Maximizing Your Zone of Genius – In your 80s – You spend 75% of your time doing the one thing you do best
