Episode #625 August 31, 2018
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. My wife is angry because our income is so low – but I don’t want to look for another job.
2. I just retired from the military and I’ve lost my sense of purpose.
3. I have lots of ideas and no focus. How can I settle into one idea?
4. I have a friend who’s worth $250 million dollars. He’s willing to invest in any idea I have. What should I do?

Yes, I DO in fact love my job, but I still have that nawling pain and lump of anxiety (as Earl Nightingale put it) that something is missing! And it’s your fault Dan (BUT I KNOW THAT’S A GOOD THING!)! 🙂 Gosh, every time I listen to you, you are one of THE most encouraging and inspiring people I have ever met! Thanks for allowing me to be on your friend list, my dear brother. And maybe I’ll figure out what’s going on with me someday soon. 🙂
