48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show

Each week we hear from people who are 27 and those who are 77 who feel they missed their opportunity for success. Like they've missed the window of time where they could have done something significant. Phrases like "I feel like I've lived my whole life by accident", "I feel like my life is a movie that's almost over, and I haven't even bought the popcorn yet" and "I'm a butterfly caught in a spider's web, with my life slowly being sucked out of me" are common. There's hope! No matter where you are in life you can still move toward the dream and how you want to be remembered. I've got a framework for your stage of life - right now.

Questions:

1. You don't really talk about the tech side of your podcast much, but I am curious what podcast host you use? Also, any other information / equipment that you think is best for setting up a podcast.

2. What if I'm too old to chase my dream?

I've always loved setting big goals at the beginning of each year. In fact, I am consistent about having my goals completed for the coming year, in seven different areas of my life, by November 14th of each preceding year. But recently I've been challenged by some people I love and trust about the necessity of approaching the new year in that manner. People whom I highly admire, who are kind and loving, and also very high achievers. Maybe it's more about mindset than having a to-do list.

Questions:

1. I would LOVE to do a remote job or start my own home business. I am so scared of the financial aspect of it.

2. After much arguing with my husband, I am almost at the point of giving up but I feel deep down that I must go on.

3. I am in the process of launching a podcast called "Life's Final Hour" which consists of interviewing people that have 6 months or less to live to learn life's most important lesson.

4. I want to get your insight on moving from being an employee to being a consultant.

5. I need to find a way drive or grow my business without hiring additional help.

I'm so aware right now of people who are fearful, discouraged, frustrated and lonely. It's clear the uncertainty and unexpected changes of the last two years have contributed to many feeling ungrounded and vulnerable. It doesn't take money to give some of the most precious gifts: time, encouragement, a listening ear. Be very aware of those around you, especially during that time of year. Give the gift of a smile today. It costs you nothing, and you still have it to give again and again.

Questions:

1. Is it a bad thing to avoid work?

2. My husband and I both realized it wasn't just job satisfaction we were struggling with, it was our entire lifestyle.

3. When you talk about the books you have read, do you read every book word for word or is it just skimming for highlights?

4. How can I find time for another income stream when working 60 hours a week already and taking care of family members with health issues?

4.4 million people quit their jobs in October. The "antiwork" movement is growing rapidly. Is being "free" from work really "freedom?" Maybe Janis Joplin framed it best with "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

Questions:

1. Can we balance work we love and work we don't love?

2. How can I sell my art to make a living?

3. How long should I stick with an idea before moving on?
