What are you willing to change in what you’re doing now?

What should we question about the way things have always been done? The risk is often in staying where you are. Be willing to change.

Episode #782 June 18, 2021

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:

I know that I do not want to continue down the path I am on because I am tired of waking up sore from the stress-filled sleep I’m currently getting each night.  Something has to change.

I’m 39 and embarking on a college education for the first time – after being a stay-at-home mom for the last 15 years; In the field of Graphic Art, how much will my age affect my opportunities?

I am eager to quit as soon as possible because it is so depressing, but I don’t want to jeopardize my financial stability while I pursue freelance illustration.  What do you suggest I do?

Start with the 15-hour per week model. Once you get to where you are generating 50% of your full-time income, then you can move forward to go out on your own.

Hello Mr. Miller, I find myself not reading your emails that come to my email account weekly because it forces me to think about how I really need to step out on faith and start living my dream.

I hate my job so much it depresses me. I feel trapped and my attitude at work is costing me opportunities. I try very hard to not think negatively. I need my income but I want out BADLY.

The risk is in staying where you are and letting it destroy you. I address all of those things in 48 Days To the Work and Life You Love.
