Welcome!

 

I’m enjoying the back-to-back interviews I’m being asked to do relative to the release of No More Mondays. The most common questions are about “risk,” the meaning of “Don’t Be Stupid” and the application of the phrase “Fire Yourself.”

This coming Monday, February 18th, I will join Dave Ramsey on his Fox Business show and in the first hour of his three-hour radio show to tackle listener questions about these same concepts. Call us with your toughest question!

1. Time to Go?

 

General Motors announced today that they will be offering buyout packages to their entire U.S. hourly workforce – 74,000 workers. These “please leave” packages will offer between $45,000 and $65,000 to leave the property now. And that’s with continuing full pension and health care coverage. If you’ve been there 10 years and you’re willing to give that up as well, you can just grab a cool $140,000 and ride off into the sunset.

Is this fair – to eliminate thousands of positions in order to bring in workers at half the pay? Would you fight for your “right” to keep your job?

2. Hey -- That Was My Idea!

 

I love seeing innovative ideas come to life. I like watching Donnie Deutsch’s The Big Idea where he interviews people like friends Julie and Mindee with their new product Boogie Wipes. A simple idea with a clear business plan. ...................................

The point is - there is a place for moving ahead with your idea - whether it’s a biomedical marvel or a better bicycle spoke noise maker. Too often I hear people say, “I wish there was a better _______.” Then two years later they see the very item and say, “Well I thought of that way back when.” Just be aware that ideas are a dime a dozen. Having a great idea puts no money in your pocket. Thinking about an idea or visualizing a novel or improved product is a great mental exercise but does nothing to help others or improve your bank account. But the person that creates a plan of action - and ACTS - now that person can end up very rich!

Hey That Was My Idea!

 

3. 48 Days Radio -- I'm Broke and My Wife is not Happy

 

Each week I create a new online radio podcast — answering a few of the many questions we receive. Here are some of this week’s questions you can hear discussed on Dan’s Online Radio Show.

I began this podcast with a 15 minute tirade about network-marketing companies. Yes, they are a hot potato issue – lots of negatives and some positives -- but the real issue is whether the business model is a fit for you. Listen for my explanations about how to evaluate any business idea.

And then questions like this:

Dan I’m a 45 year old male with 15 of experience as a web/graphic designer. I bought your book and one of your courses, got fired up cashed in my 401k and left my corporate job. Six months later I’m broke and don’t have any money to pay my bills. My wife is not happy and this is not the first time I try to go on my own. Now I dread just getting a job.

See the rest of the questions and link to the 48 Days Podcast here.


You can submit your question right now – I’ll work as many in as possible for this week's broadcast. 48 Days Online Radio

4. Humor -- Foul-Mouthed Wife

 

A husband explains to the guys at the bar.

"Do you know why I left her? She started to use four-letter words like: Find work!"

Being organized though, that is the key. For 14 years now, 48 Days subscriber Bob Whitaker has been providing entrepreneurs and the self-employed with his brilliant Tax Minimiser product. Even if you have a great CPA, it’s up to you to track your expenses. This is how you do it, with this proven, simple system. You can even write off the expense of purchasing it!

Pure Breath & Water comes to us from Larry Andron, an independent business owner who has developed multiple streams of income that he helps other people duplicate. Larry is a health advocate. For a long time his daughter had itch and rash issues that no allergy testing found a solution for. When he purchased this air purifier, all of her symptoms finally subsided. She’s two years free of itch and rash problems. After becoming a fan and realizing that many allergy and other health problems can be caused by airborne contaminants, Larry investigated the business opportunity. It turns out that the manufacturer has been featured in various publications for offering one of the most successful home based businesses out there. He appreciates that the business helps people solve indoor air quality problems and has the potential to help people realize their financial goals as well.
