  • By your own admission, the audio work you’re doing isn’t an income generator right now

  • Cliff Ravenscraft is a man who knows how to take advantage of ancillary opportunities

  • Most podcasters don’t have expensive production costs
  • Look broader than just audio editing
  • Broaden your horizons
• 17:08 – From Justin – I wrote you a while back about finding my passion, which I eventually realized was right in front of me. What I was really lacking was direction…I’ve always been a creator, and I think content creation is what I need to do…but I can’t figure out why I keep hitting a roadblock. Can you help me figure out what the next step is?
  • It’s great that you want to create content and help people but there has to be an end game
  • You have to give people an opportunity to give you money
  • There’s no shame in being profitable
    • Profitability means you get to continue inspiring others
  • Have courses, tip sheets, book recommendations…don’t confuse activity with accomplishment
  • Your passion and purpose are already defined, but now you need to put legs on it
• 22:20 – From Danny – My wife and I were looking for some coaching help…can you provide some advice on how to select a coach?
  • Go to 48days.com/coaching

    • Go to provenamazoncourse.com/48days
    • This is the course Dan highly recommends
  • What have you been doing for 20 years?!
  • Get back in the game!—Life is passing you by
  • We’ve all been burned, it happens to everyone. But the only way to get out is to start climbing.
  • Dan was once $430k in debt
  • You have to look at the man in the mirror and say, “you got yourself burned, and now you need to get yourself out.”
  • By sitting on the sidelines you’re missing opportunities to bring joy and prosperity into your life
  • One of the things we see in people who end up extremely wealthy?
    • Continuous learning
    • Clear goals
    • A tolerance for risk
  • 35:40 – From Angie – Dan I took your entrepreneurial quiz (Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Entrepreneur?) but I only scored 60 points! My lowest scores were “dealing with change” and “self-discipline”…how do I improve my scores?
    • Change might be difficult for you so start experimenting
      • Order something strange at a restaurant
      • Drive home a different way from work
      • Look for ways you can grow and stretch yourself
    • Give yourself some tasks or deadlines to help you counteract your troubles with self-discipline

    • 41:37 – From Lauren – I just finished 48Days to the Work You Love, AND the workbook and I’m still not any clearer on what direction I’m heading…help! Basically, I want to find a career that I’ll be happy with in the Oklahoma City area with a specific salary, and I do NOT want to be in sales.
      • No business that’s worth its salt is going to be interested in hiring you if you’re not willing to SELL
      • Selling is serving
      • And selling is the lifeblood of business
      • If you’re not selling, you’re dead weight
      • For you to get a job you are selling—the product is YOU, there’s no other way to frame that
      • Every day you walk in the door, you need to be selling
    • 47:30 – Sell. Hold your head high. Selling is the best way to serve other people well. No matter what it is you do, if you’re serving people well, you’re selling them something.

3 Key Points:

1. Selling is the best way to serve others. Period.
2. We all get burned. All of us. No one is immune from it. So, when you get burned, pick yourself up, get back in the saddle, and start creating wealth for yourself again.
3. More often than not, the fortune isn’t in the primary opportunity, but the ancillary opportunity.

Summary:

In this episode, Dan reminds us that success is NOT just about how much money you earn. Success is defined differently from one person to the next. Once we realize we are on a journey to finding WORTHWHILE goals and begin to pursue these goals—we will find ourselves closer and closer to finding true fulfillment and success. Listen as Dan lists possible reasons we’re not happy EVEN if we’ve found “success” and what it means to put-on a mindset of growth. You’ll also hear why staying in your comfort zone may be working against you.
