48 Days to the Work You Love

This is an abbreviated holiday podcast that I called “Lemonade and Donut Holes.” Last week Joanne and I had our flight cancelled in Chicago – bringing into question whether we would be able to get home for Christmas Day. We saw spouses angry with each other, parents yelling at children, and overworked airline employees short-tempered with customers. If circumstances determine our level of happiness, then we are all very vulnerable. If circumstances threaten our closest relationships, then they were not built on solid principles originally. Only as we look past the day-to-day challenges will we have the confidence that nothing can derail us. Focusing on our priorities and long-term goals, we can hold our heads high and keep moving forward with joy and positive anticipation. This podcast is about 20 minutes of encouragement to make lemonade when life tosses you a few lemons. read less

Here’s a recap of some of the questions covered in this 48-minute podcast: 1. I am currently in a contract position in a pharmaceutical company – with an opportunity to become a permanent employee in 2009. What advice would you have for negotiating salary and benefits? 2. I'm considering buying a franchise with startup costs of approximately $250,000. Are there benefits to buying a franchise as opposed to starting a business from scratch? 3. I have lots of good ideas for starting a business. However, can you explain to someone how to eliminate procrastination? 4. If I understand correctly, you started your career in coaching with linear income before moving on to residual. If you could do it again, would you (and could you) have focused only on residual income? Or was the work you did while earning linear income necessary for the residual? 5. I've always had an interest in becoming a life coach. I wonder whether you think this is a viable career during the current recession. 6. After speaking with my academic adviser she told me I need to start taking more classes or it will be 10 years before I finish. I can’t do that! I work 80 to 100 hrs a week (no exaggeration) and taking just one class at a time has been putting a toll on my family life. I have decided to quit college. Is this the right choice? read less

I started this podcast by reviewing some of the questions on the 48Days.net forum postings - So, I have a business idea….what’s next? - Any advice for website ministry to pastors - I am a roofing contractor and am interested in going green. How do I get started? - I am a single mother of twin boys, and my credit is prohibiting me from gaining employment in my skill set. - My husband and I are going to divorce and as a result I will have to go back to work full time. How do I handle this in an interview situation? - I know that each November you plan the next year. You have said that you plan to stop doing a certain percentage of things to make room for new things. Would you please elaborate on your process? read less

Sure, times are tough for lots of us. Are you going to go down in flames or are you still confident there are opportunities out there? 1. Should I pay a $25,000 franchise fee to make 6 figures? 2. I have one foot on the dock and one on the boat. How do I decide when to cast away? 3. Where I can I purchase books for “pennies in the dollar?” 4. I find it hard to write a resume “specifically tailored for each job.” 5. I am a 50-yr-old artist. Love to sculpt and paint but struggle with marketing. 6. I have not worked full-time for 9 years. How do I now compete with 20-yr-olds for jobs? read less

I begin this podcast talking about the frequent instances I am involved in where someone was in a great career position and then sabotaged it with a marital indiscretion. We need to be very careful about momentary decisions that would cost us our financial, career and personal futures. It’s hard to expect career success when we’ve bombed in other areas of our lives. They’re all tied together. Either you’re making deposits of success or failure – in each area of your life – you decide. 1. I recently retired (54 year old male) from the federal government. How can I still serve and contribute to society? 2. How do I create residual income in the craft business? 3. In interviewing for a traditional job, is the suit and tie the only appropriate male attire? 4. I'm trying to switch jobs but everywhere I apply you need 2-5 years direct experience it seems. How do I qualify for a job if I never even meet the minimum requirements? 5. How can you tell whether job dissatisfaction is from personal discontentment (no matter the job) or if it is truly a need for a change of vocation? read less
