48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show

1.  What are your thoughts on the “Law of Attraction”, the thought that many self-improvement writers seem to forward. Being a Christian it makes me uneasy, as if it’s some sort of magic. 2.  Would taking a job for less money, but with a company that is more interesting to work for and in a location I want to move to make sense? 3.  You often refer to the value you place on reading. How do you keep track of, or condense, the ideas you glean from reading?" 4.  I used to teach music at a Christian school then took another teaching job at a public school. I feel like God is punishing me for leaving my calling in the Christian school setting. 5.  Help! My husband has been in the printing and mailing business for the last 15 years.  What do you see as the future of printing and where do we go from here? 6.  I have a friend who is in dire straits financially.  He has a tendency to default to defeatism.  How can I encourage him?

1.  I have read 48 days, and No More Mondays, and I think I am scared of failure.
2.  I have an unusual habit of doodling on Styrofoam cups. It started as a stress relief at work, but several people have asked me to make them a cup and have suggested I sell them.
3.  I've come to the realization that my best future lies in working for myself. The problem I have is that being a solopreneur requires constant selling; I'm not a naturally outgoing, gregarious person.
4.  Do you think it’s a good idea to leave my full time job in such a lousy economy? 
5.  I have a job where they constantly try to promote me. It seems like I can get every job I don't want but can't get jobs I really want. How do I break the chains and go in a different direction?
6.  I'm 26 and I have been in sales since I was 16.  My biggest passion is leadership or the lack there of, I see a big need in leadership development. I want to be a life coach but no college what now?

1.  I called to request a free catalog about the piano tuning school, etc, and the lady I talked with basically told me I was too old to start this!   2.  I'm afraid 48 Days has made our life much more difficult.  My husband has many, many talents...art, music, people skills, design of any and everything...How can he make money at that? 3.  I know my passions but I haven't figured out how to monetize anything.   4.  Don't we create businesses to serve the greater good, not the select few?   5.  After listening to your podcast I got motivated to look for a better job. I sent a resume to a company I admired, sure they would not be interested.   6.  Should someone work on fixing their weaknesses or find work that fits with their strengths?

1.  I am a woman (primary care physician) with a TAKE CHARGE personality, who enjoys exercising power and authority, who communicates boldly, directly, and who is very determined and extremely competitive.  Given my very strong and driving and independent personality, how could I transition my current career track to a more fitting vocation?

2.  I have been approached to join an organization called Business Network International (BNI.com).  Have you ever worked with them before and would it be worth investing the time and money?

3.  You have often described your life in Tennessee including, among other things, your morning commute to the Sanctuary.  Sounds like heaven to me.   I imagine that you have a nice combination of peaceful surroundings, perhaps solitude, and interaction with others.  What is the ideal balance for you?   

4.  I have imagined the possibility of hosting small group seminars to talk about weight loss and returning to health. I do not have a medical or nutrition degree, but I believe I know enough to help people. Is this feasible, or would my lack of concrete credentials present too much of a problem?

5.  With the real estate market the way it is, would it be advisable to get into sales at this time? I am licensed but not ready to give up my security of the paycheck at my full time job but want and have always wanted to do real estate sales.

1.  Having taken your Personality Profile I found that I have none of the characteristics needed to sell myself. How do I overcome this problem as I work to create an income from home with my own business? I love helping and teaching people one on one and have many skills but am dismal at sales of any kind. Please help!

2.  I am faced with the decision of taking a risk of opening a business, that if I succeed, will be in a field of interest and help to generate a better lifestyle OR go back to college and hope to get a job that will bring me similar success in my life. I cannot continue where I am. I have to make a decision.

3.  Your low cost business ideas are great. However, you don't go into the difference on gross, net and self employment taxes. Do you have a different view on taxes or do you leave this for your audience to find out when they get audited?

4.  I have an idea for taking some of your easy start ups and create a branding for several of them and offer them as a package or start up kit throughout the country. I think this would be an opportunity to help others earn extra income or create a whole new career for them as well.

5.  I work with unemployed members of my church to help them find more meaningful employment. Some of them have been out of work for over 8 months. What are some coaching principles you would be willing to share for those of us that want to help people set in ineffective methods and beliefs?
