Profile Information

How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
I've been watching the "social network" phenomenon for several years. I thought there was a place for an "idea network" where we could share ideas and grow our businesses together. Something more than telling people you saw a celebrity or ate at Ben & Jerry's last night.
What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
I am an entrepreneur from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. Haven't had a "real job" since I was a kid.
And then...what is the goal/dream you are striving for regarding your work life?
I trust it doesn't come as a surprise that I am living my dream. I didn't get it all worked out at age 20 but at this point in my life I'm certainly living the life I dreamed about.

My primary work activities are writing, speaking and coaching.
How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?
I have three incredible children -- and 7 grandchildren. Joanne and I have been married for over 40 years and every day is a great day!
What would you say are your core competencies? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?
I love writing. I am a voracious reader so I am constantly getting new ideas that I want to pass on to people. There is a wealth of wisdom in past writings and I want to be effective in distilling that and then making applications for today.
Do you have a website presence anywhere?

More than one website?

Hey I have the privilege of living with you! Let me just again say to everyone how privileged I really am. Just yesterday I met with a lady who is going through a rough time. But then in yesterday's mail she received an unexpected check. She said s…

Theresa - I used to really enjoy having good looking watches. Had some fake Rolexes and other great looking ones. But several years ago I realized that with any kind of cell phone I had a more accurate watch anyway and it seemed redundant to be wear…

Zach - Wow, that looks awesome! Way to follow through with your plan. Now you're ready to do all kinds of creative things to send people to your site. It really does look great -- very engaging and great for both students or their parents.

Dan,

Why on earth would you spend so many years and so much money building and branding "48" and even consider modifying the podcast?

All you need is 4 segments that are about 12 minutes each, and voila...48 minutes.

Dan,
What do you think about using an IRA to fund a start-up?
This article makes a case for how to do it, and I'm sure that many of us have pondered this subject. Thanks for all you do!
Lee

Have a good one!

Thanks Dan for the kind comments about my art. I have not logged in much on the site because I work my business on a very strict schedule striking that balance between work and family. I launched my freelance business Pilotte Creative Services officially this year (www.pilottecreativeservices.com). Your podcast, which I still listen to as often as I can, has really inspired me. When I was a kid I dreamed of being an artist and creating album covers for musicians. I have had a love of music in all its forms since before I was old enough to talk. Growing up studying the album cover art for so many famous rock bands inspired me to become an artist. Yesterday I sent my first album to the printer for production. I was contracted to do the entire design for a double album by an up and coming blues guitarist. Dan, I spent ten years working for Lockheed Martin Aerospace as a graphic artist. I have worked on art for projects that were worth (literally) billions of dollars. Nothing, and I mean this, nothing gave me the personal satisfaction and sense of fulfillment that I had in seeing this album project through. It was amazing. I know that with dedication and patience this business is going to take me, and my family, somewhere very good. So, thank you very much for your inspiration Dan. God Bless.

Okay – I’m going to assume that anyone who clicks through to this is familiar with Seth Godin’s book titled
Linchpin. On June 14th there

will be meetups all over the world for those who consider themselves Linchpins.

Watches and Horse Manure

In this week’s edition of Fortune magazine there is an ad for a Patek Philippe watch at $59,500. The tag says: “Patek’s legendary high resale values make this 18-karat rose-gold chrono a worthy investment."

Last week I was in Orlando for a God’s Green America summit. Because of the nature of the conference and the highly leveraged use of technology, many of t… Continue
