Dan,
Thank you for opening my eyes on viewing myself as not starting over. I too am 48,not where I want to be in career or life and sometimes think,” well I’m almost 50, I guess it’s not going to happen”. Bad habits(anger, quitting when it didn’t go my way etc.) in my 20s and 30s that I have learned from now. Maybe I can do it differently?, something new?
I have life experience, better work ethic and your updated 48 days books and although I’m still struggling with narrowing my skills, abilities, dreams and passion , I feel I’m finding my way with your help. With a happy sigh of relief and thanks,
Jeff
Dan really enjoyed this one I love the advice for the minister I do was ordained 16 years ago but mu work is not behind the pulpit, but in the construction field. I started a podcast 4 months ago which helps those in the workforce excel. I found your podcast and bought your book 48 days to the work you love on Amazon and have listen to you since. Funny I used that same Martin Luther King quote in an earlier podcast. Love your encouraging word. Really lifts me up
This one really made me smile! And I always tell folks where they can get TONS of smiles and encouragement; at THE Sanctuary, at a LIVE event or any kind of function Dan and Joanne host! 🙂
