What To Do If You’re Not Proud of the Work You Do
Episode #653 March 01, 2019
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:
1. How do we subtly start to sabotage our work if it doesn’t fit us?
2. I am not proud of the work I do.
3. Should I take a job when it doesn’t check all the “work I love” boxes.
4. Can I make a profitable business detailing cars?
