Profile Information
- How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
- We started this 48Days.net community after 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.
I cringe whenever I see an elementary school textbook present a problem such as "If a quarter of a pound of ham costs $2, how much will three pounds cost?" Any child who has accompanied a parent shopping for groceries knows that things are cheaper per pound when you buy a greater quantity. As a result, though the child may eventually learn to solve such problems the way the textbook wants, the real lesson being imparted is that mathematics is a stupid, arbitrary subject having no relevance to the real world.
- 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 9 grandchildren. Joanne and I have been married for over 43 years and keep figuring out how to make our marriage better!
- 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. In 2011 I read 78 books to continue finding principles to pass along. 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?
- http://www.48Days.com
- More than one website?

Dan Miller posted a noteProcrastination is the friend of failure...
This week I was listening to Andy Traub doing an interview on his Linchpin podcast. Andy was interviewing John G. Miller – author of QBQ – and one of John’s statements grabbed me: “Procrastination is the friend of failure.” Now there's something…
Dan Miller replied to Elmer Querubin's discussion Are you a people pleaser?"Thomas - thanks for sharing your heart on this. We all want others to like us - but it's also true that in that desire it's easy to "enable" someone else's self-destructive behavior. Sometimes even with…"

Wanted to tell you that someone on 48days.net contacted me about my podcast with JOel Boggess. She told me she had been hospitalized 18 months ago and that the podcast really touched her.
I am but 1 woman amoung 6 billion people in this world. At 48days.net I am but 1 woman of 11,000 + --- but through that podcast my message of hope -- commissioned to me on the day I Chose Life -- reached that 1 woman in South Dakota whom I normally would have never met.
If my years of suffering bring nothing else to this world other than to encourage that one person -- I would consider it worth it. I am beginning to suspect though, that God has bigger plans for me.
With my thanks --
L.I.V.E. well,
C

Hi Dan!
I hear you mention on your podcast occasionally that you have about 7 different streams of income. Can you elaborate more on this - what they are, how they are different from each other, how they work, etc. I find your podcast truly inspiring. Thanks so much!

Hey I'll make this very quick. I'm getting lots of questions about really being able to get a book published in times like these.
Here's a 3-minute video clip of me on Fox News explaining how I got started: Dan on Fox News. I think you'll be

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."
