If you’re new to the 48Days.net community – welcome. This is an amazing group of people who are not content with mediocrity in their work – or anywhere in their lives. You’ll find the members here share their resources and expertise willingly and also share your excitement when you succeed.

We are seeing an explosion of books being published, speakers being booked, coaches filling their schedules, artists finding new ways to market their work, musicians leveraging their talent and creative businesses from podcasting to dry cleaning pickup to muscle car restoration being launched successfully.

The beautiful photo here of Aristotle (the carved eagle in front of the Sanctuary) was taken by artist, photographer and coach Deby Dearman.  Many of you recognize Deby as the inspiring leader of the Artists Arise group.  She attends all of our Live Events as our official 48Days photographer.

This week we're highlighting:

What have you experienced in developing your business? Share your thoughts and resources with all of us in this discussion.

Featured Blog – Are You The Parent You Want To Be? It’s easy to be someone’s biological mother and father, but it takes an intentional heart to be a parent that truly matters to a family. Claudia and Michael Good attended Kent Julian’s Parent-it-Forward teleseminar and they give us some powerful take-a-ways!

Featured Group – Scott Moore started a No More Mondays Show group for listeners of Andy Traub and Justin Lukasavige’s regular No More Mondays podcast.

This group has a lot of active members who are learning business and sharing together.

Featured Member – our featured member this week is Cari Troyer from Goshen, IN. Cari attended the Write to the Bank event right before the birth of her daughter Kaitlyn. As a speaker, coach and author, she has now released her new book – Risen From Low Places: How I Overcame Depression and Despair.
