48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show
In this episode of “Wisdom of the Sages," Dan explores the concept of being "unusually unusual" and how it relates to achieving success in our careers. Drawing inspiration from the book "The Millionaire Mind" by Thomas Stanley, Dan reveals that academic performance and IQ are not always the determining factors when it comes to achieving wealth.

info_outlineSuccess is something you attract by the way you think and the person you become. You don’t have to change the company, the economy, the government, your boss or your spouse - you get to change YOU and you’ll see your whole world change. Remember, our minds are like gardens. They give us a bigger return of whatever we planted. If you think about negative things you will see those enlarge in your life. If you expect and think about positive things, you will see more and more of those in your reality. In setting goals you are indeed creating your own future.
I like to expect good things coming my way. I expect the people I meet to be eager to help me. I expect to find that parking spot just where I need it. I expect to feel great when I wake up in the morning. And yeah - I expect to make it to the gas station even if the fuel gauge is flashing empty.

3. I'm not spiritually or mentally ready to retire, but I don't want to go back to the corporate world.
4. I "retired" from a job I had grown to despise on my 55th birthday, but now I feel like I may not be doing enough to support my family and reach our goals.
