Episode #597 February 02, 2018

Are you approaching this second month of the year feeling stuck, lost and depressed — in your own Groundhog Day? Take a few small steps this week. Start by listing three things you’re passionate about and then looking at ways you can bring those to life this week.

Hi this is Dan Miller – and yes you’re listening to the 48 Days Radio show – where each week we take 48 minutes to dive into real life questions about finding your passion, deciding what kind of life you want to live – and then finding or creating work that allows you to show up every day, excited to be able to do something that is meaningful, fulfilling – and profitable.  This is where normal, indecision and ambiguity come to die.  Welcome to the 48 Days Radio Show.

Questions:

1.  I’ve lost my passion for my industry. What should I do? 

2.  Is it okay to go through 48 Days in fewer than 48 Days?  

3.  How can I make plans for the future if I’m depressed? 

4.  How can I make more money blogging about a topic that bores me? 

5.  Can I share my love of carpentry with a course called “10 Easy Tips to be a more efficient Framer”?

Plus Good News!

• If you’ve lost your passion, don’t throw away your education and skills. But instead look for an industry or company whose mission excites you. I often worth with dentists, doctors and pastors who want to throw in the towel. Instead, we look for ways to validate their education and experience and look for a subtle change in the application.
• Martin Luther King Jr. quote:“If a man is called to be a street sweeper. He should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted , or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all hosts of heaven and earth pause to say; Here lives a great sweeper who did his job well “.”
