The only thing at which I’ve succeeded is living a life of misery

A 60-yr-old listener says he’s only had unsatisfying jobs because he thought his only responsibility was to get a job and pay the bills. Now he’s wondering if it’s too late to follow his heart and passion. I think he’s got an amazing way to do just that.

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.

Questions:

How can I find the courage to “Shoot for the Moon” in my goals.

I always set my goals well beyond what I think I can achieve. If I meet all my goals in a given a year, I know I’ve set my goals too low. I’ve always sought out coaches who were already performing at the level I want to perform. For more on Coaching, click here. Make sure you have a 3 AM list. Find out more here.

Can I really do this work remotely?

Yes, you can. Go ahead and do your job search as laid out in 48 Days To the Work and Life You Love and reach out to 30-40 companies that you’d like to work with, knowing that location is not a factor.

I would like to hear about ideas for managing a business from the mission field.

You can develop your business using my 15-hour-per-week model so you can still dedicate yourself to the mission field. Look for businesses that are not location-dependent. But you have to believe you can. You have to believe the opportunities are there.

The only thing at which I’ve succeeded is living a life of misery.

You can leverage your talents if you let it be known that you have them.
