48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show

Work is Love made visible I just started my coaching business and already have 3 clients for over $3000. I am a 29-year-old Brazilian currently living in Germany and I am lost. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to in life. I'm 41 and feel like I should've accomplished more. My younger brother is living his dreams and I feel pretty terrible because I am not. Hi Dan, I'm an over the road trucker, and I've hated my job for years. I have a ideal job but I really hate it.  What's better: work more in a job you'd love or less in a job you dislike? [spacer] "Work is love made visible.  And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.”  Kahil Gibran, from “The Prophet” Today's show is brought to you by Harrys.com - use 48Days as the code to get $5.00 off your purchase of Dan's favorite razor Escaping Shawshank - special discount code for podcast listeners: freedom2015 Coaching with Excellence - September 3-4th Many of you hear me talk about my podcast coach, Cliff Ravenscraft.  He helped me position myself for the most powerful marketing tool for my business (my podcast) that I’ve ever experienced.  He has a few spots open for his next PodcastingAtoZ course starting on Monday, August 10th.  Use discount code 48Days to get an immediate $500 discount off the very reasonable enrollment fee.  http://PodcastingAtoZ.com

  What if the negative person is my spouse? Joanne and I address the negative spouse issue. Two months ago my podcast theme was Stay Away From Negative People.  I talked about my 3-hour rule where I’ll spend 3 hours a year with negative friends but certainly not 3 days or 3 weeks on a vacation.  Well, I knew there was the elephant in the room and didn’t address it fully.  I had a whole lot of you ask this question: "Dan, I just listened to your podcast about staying away from negative people. What if the negative person is my wife?" I got both – what if it’s my wife, and what if it’s my husband?  And I heard from people who said, "Dan, I am the negative one.  How can I stop?" In this episode I asked my wife Joanne to join me and respond to the wisdom you, the listeners, submitted. Renowned businessman Jim Rohn once said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend most of your time with.” Here's a recap of the 5 steps for addressing negativity in a marriage relationship: Recognize “security” is not just money in the bank.  Emotional security includes affirmation, support and encouragement. Acknowledge different personality styles.  There are not “good or bad” , “right or wrong” styles - just different.  See the added value of having different perspectives. Look for the “fear” behind the negativity.  Have you let the person down at previous times? Recognize not hitting a goal is not always “failure.”  It may be the very step required for your ultimate success. Listen more talk less.  Let your actions convince your spouse rather than your words.   Check out all these Resources to move you toward your dreams:  Harrys.com - use 48Days as the code to get $5.00 off your purchase of Dan's favorite morning product Go to www.collegeplus.org/dan for your free download of "What you Need to Know About Changes in Higher Education" Want to join the ranks of successful writers?  Here's my free 48-point Checklist for Writers Here's one of the most popular lists we've had:  8"Keys"to"Starting"a"New"Business"  I have an 11-page checklist to help you identify What’s Holding You Back From Your Dreams?  Escaping Shawshank - eagle awards  http://www.escapingshawshank.com/eagle/ 10 Tips for Getting Your First Coaching Client Checklist for finding job freedom The Strangest Secret YouTube Video of Earl Nightingale’s message Escaping Shawshank - the event in August where we'll look at Prison, Purpose and Plan - Meet Dan & Joanne there. 48 Days Coaching Mastery Program The Ultimate Advantage Cruise - Feb 2017 Coaching with Excellence - September 3-4, 2015 Question for Dan - http://www.48days.com/ask-dan/
