Greetings Dan,
I really enjoyed the podcast. One of the things I took from this episode was, spend a portion of your time learning, not all of the time you have set aside for your business. As a former over subscriber to podcasts, I need to hear that wisdom from time to time. Thank You!
I enjoy listening to your podcast your sharing & inspiration has been a positive influence in my life. That being said, I sometimes find myself in a horrible slump & have a hard time listening to some of the success stories because it leaves me feeling left behind. I have overcome many obstacles. I was raised in a very dysfunctional atmosphere with alcoholism and inappropriate adult child interactions. I also, being a product of my upbringing became involved in an abusive marriage. I am currently happily abuse free for over 13 years now. I have earned a bachelor degree and really worked to improve my life. My children are grown and on their own now. Although my life as come a long way. I know I have not fulfilled my true meaning in life. I feel like I have missed the boat when trying to answer the question why am I here. Some days I just don’t feel I can continue to push on. I’m smart and talented and can do anything but nothing thus far has given me true fulfillment. I have your book 48 days and am my 2nd time reading. Is it hopeless for me??
Liz,
It absolutely is NOT hopeless for you. I tell people continually – “It’s never too late to have a new beginning.” Surround yourself with people who are winning – not whining. And keep listening, reading and believing you can create the future you want. Thanks for being a 48 Days podcast listener.
I love the title, “Stop Getting Smarter and Do Something.” A man in my mastermind group asked this week, “Do you guys ever feel like you are on personal development/growth overload?
Like you are so inundated with amazing information and advice that you
can’t even process it all and integrate the changes?” I hear this so much, and feel it often. It’s so easy to keep consuming, without ever producing. This is a great reminder to just get started and do something!
