This coming Thursday,
February 21st, I will be presenting a free 24-minute teleseminar
for church leaders, titled “Are
Your Church Members ‘Prospering’ in Their Work?” If you
are in a leadership position we invite you to listen in.
This volatility in the workplace is shaking our families. Dads are
being threatened as the providers – Moms are being forced into the
workplace against their desires. And the fallout continues.
This free mini-seminar is only 24 minutes long. But the principles
you’ll hear may help you save a family, increase their financial
resources, and enhance living out God’s purpose. And I'll include
how the 48 Days Video
Workshop can help in the process.
Here are the details -- “Are
Your Church Members ‘Prospering’ in Their Work?”

"In the future, most people’s jobs will involve
scrambling around like frightened chipmunks trying to find the next
paycheck in an endless string of unrelated short-term jobs. But
since “Frightened Chipmunk’ doesn’t look very impressive on a
business card, people will call themselves entrepreneurs,
consultants, and independent contractors." -- Scott
Adams, The Dilbert Future

Oliver Wendall Holmes
once said “Many people die with their music still in them.” I think
that captures the fear of about 99% of the people I see who come in
for career coaching. Either they know exactly what gift or talent
they have that they are not using or they are just afraid they have
somehow missed finding their real authentic and fulfilling path.
What is that area that is lying dormant for you? I recently had a
pharmacist approach me at the end of a short presentation I titled
Hold Fast to Dreams. He said he had been in his profession for 17
years and could not think of any dreams he had. In his description
of his “responsible, predictable” life it became clear to both of
us that his dreams had become buried along the way. All those
childhood passions had been put aside as one responsibility led to
another. At this point he was so desensitized that he couldn’t even
bring them to mind anymore. He began weeping in the 3 minutes of
our conversation as he identified his current life.

As I was writing today a
song from the incredible new Mercy Me album, All That is Within
Me, began playing on the iTunes radio station. It reminded me
of lead singer Bart Millard’s explanation for the name of their
group. We were on a John Tesh cruise together last year and Bart told
how he and two friends formed their little group and started
singing at church camps. They would receive a “love offering” and
with those contributions of $20 and $30 would attempt to buy
hotdogs for the week and put gas in their car.
One evening he was describing their then current situation to his
Grandma. In exasperation Grandma said, “Mercy me Bart, why don’t
you just get a real job?” And thus the name, Mercy Me,
was birthed. And eight million albums and seven Dove awards later,
Bart can laugh about Granny’s frustration.
How many of you had a Grandma, or a Mom or Dad, or Uncle Harry or
respected teacher who told you to forget your dreams and just get a
real job? My own Dad understands milking cows or picking corn to
create income and encouraged me to do the same. He still doesn’t
fully comprehend why people pay me for just talking and writing.

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 begin by talking about the Venn Diagram model of business that I
use - and how that may help you see multiple streams of income in
whatever you are doing. I have seven revenue streams from different
systems that are in place.
Then I discuss this first question at length: Can I be in
“ministry” and still expect to make significant money?
(Incidentally, my answer is a resounding “Yes.”)
1. Dan, I often hear you talk about how it is possible to earn more
money than imagined by following your vocation first, followed by
career then job. How does this earning more money philosophy fit
for pastors and other ministry related professionals? (Have you
ever heard of Rick Warren, T D Jakes or Joel Osteen?)
And more questions like these:
2. Dan, Should I put the price of my coaching services on my
website and why or why not. (It depends)
3. My daughter is 13 yrs. old going into high school in the fall.
Her class is the first class required to pick a major. How can I
best help her? (How ridiculous - to force a 13 yr-old to chose a
direction for life!)
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

Bob was explaining his
early and unusual financial success:
"We used to play spin the bottle when I was a kid. A girl
would spin the bottle and if it pointed to you when it stopped, the
girl could either kiss you or give you a quarter.
By the time I was 14, I owned my own home."

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
