Why I’ve had a lifelong love affair with money. That may sound like a selfish admission, but I changed my thinking about money years ago.  My Dad was a pastor and I heard plenty about “the love of money.”  And while I respect his deep devotion, I think he misunderstood the message.  In today’s podcast I want to address these questions:

1. How can I increase my sense of “deserving” success?
2. What is your mindset about money?
3. How can I address my “upper limit challenge?”
4. How can I learn to serve from a full cup?

“Money and success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.” Will Smith [Tweet This]  

Summary:

In this episode, Dan Miller challenges our mindset regarding money. We are taught to love it or hate it; but, is there a healthier view that we can maintain? Our mindset are often the result of the instilled values of our upbringing and this can work to our demise. Listen as Dan shares from his personal experiences, observations, and thoughts regarding church teachings about money and how family can at times, hold us back from achieving our greatest success.

Can I really grow a business with only 15 hours a week?  It seems every week I’m asked about that question – and the answer is a resounding Yes!  But you have to devote time to each of four critical areas.  Otherwise you may just learn more but never really develop a “business.”  Or you may create a “job” for yourself without ever getting closer to having a business.  In this episode I explain the four areas that need attention and give you a formula for how many hours to spend in each area with those 15 hours.

1. I have a 7&8 year-old that also need resets from time to time and I’ve been struggling to find positive audio that’s understandable for them at this age.
2. In working with my wife I have learned that she is the dreamer and I am the “realist.”
3. I made out a list of 30-40 business ideas, what’s the process for narrowing those down and ultimately landing on one to pursue?
4. Can I really grow a business with only 15 hours a week?
