Our potential for wealth is not shown in our bank account as much as it is in the attitude of our heart. Give generously and “wealth” of all kinds will start to move toward you. We’ve got just a couple of questions today - and a couple of short stories to emphasize the importance of gratitude.So, grab your cup of tea - or maybe your Mt.

Let's embrace positivity and express gratitude in our professional and personal lives.Find Your Unique Value: In today's challenging job market with unexpected changes, it's essential to become a person of value. Instead of getting frustrated with limited opportunities, focus on identifying your unique skills and value proposition. Explore creative endeavors, provide unique services, and see how you can make a difference in your industry. Remember, success comes from attitude, optimism, faith, and positive action.Express Gratitude and Give Generously: The power of expressing gratitude cannot be underestimated.

Welcome to another episode of “Wisdom of the Sages", where we explore principles from history and apply them to our lives today. In this episode, titled "A Simple Man", we delve into the power of simplicity and how it can override intelligence and education. Host Dan Miller takes inspiration from a biblical verse and challenges our assumptions about what it means to be simple-minded. He emphasizes the importance of having a purpose in life and how lacking direction can make us vulnerable to various temptations. Through insightful anecdotes and practical advice, Dan urges us to set clear commitments, choose our attitude, and embrace our unique talents to avoid falling into the category of being simple. So, ask yourself, what are you doing today that proves you are not among the simple?https://www.48days.com/wisdom-of-the-sages-podcast/

Success 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. We’ve got some great questions today - from listeners like you who are looking for ways to be fully engaged in life at 55, 65 and more.

Dew - and get ready for a power-packed episode filled with practical advice, inspiring stories, and valuable resources to help maximize your opportunities!Questions: 1. I’m bored to death.

I hear the most interesting statements from people who are describing their lives. Recently a 36-yr-old MBA in an executive position in an exciting industry shared this concern in her coaching profile: “I have a vague sense that my life is too small.”Living large does not necessarily mean a bigger salary, house, cars or retirement fund. It has nothing to do with fancy vacations or the latest fashions. Rather, it means having a life that’s full of meaning and purpose. And that can occur – or be absent – at any place on the continuum of the traditional parameters of “success.” I’ve seen millionaires who are living life “small” and those with scarce financial resources who are living “large.” Let me ask you this: What is your life saying to the world? Are you living your life too small? Is it so full of meaningless tasks that there’s no room left for the things that make your heart sing? Are you pushing so hard in doing more that you’ve lost the sense of being more? Does more activity really equal greater accomplishment, or does it at some point tip the scale and begin to diminish the meaning of your life? Are you creating the legacy you want to leave for your loved ones?Reflect back on last month – yes, just this last month. What did you do to keep your life from being too small?Get the 7 questions to ask yourself to determine if you’re living life too small, plus my thoughts on these great questions and a special invitation to our upcoming 48-Day Dream Life Blueprint event on November 14th, 48 days before the new year at https://www.48days.com/living-large1. Would coaching my son through 48 Days to the Work You Love and the application guide help him get clarity on what he wants to do? 2. How do I tell the difference between a true mastermind and a group where they’re just going to try to sell me something? 3. Do you think I could sell a book with only one sentence in it? 4. I’m a software developer but I’ve never felt that I’m very good - should I consider a new career? 5. My family and friends expect a discount at my business. How should I handle that?

Is there a way to know what your life will look like in the future? Or do we just have to wait and see what happens? I want you to hear some stories from people who didn’t wait - they decided what they wanted their future to be and took action to make that a reality. What if you could make more money on the side - than from your primary job?

We’ve got some gripping stories today - from people who figured out how to move from where they were - to where they wanted to be. Questions: 1. I went from an unsure future at a dead end job to an exciting new career in 32 days from the time I picked up the book. 2.

In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, we delve into a powerful lesson from the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, focusing on the importance of associating with the right people.Our story revolves around the Hawaiian Black Crabs, and their behavior provides a metaphor for the world we live and work in. These crabs, trapped in a bucket, symbolize those who are ready to ridicule and pull others down rather than supporting their pursuit of freedom and success. We explore the concept that small thinkers often find it easier to criticize than to find solutions, and how surrounding ourselves with successful individuals is a key characteristic of achievement.Join us as we reflect on this thought-provoking tale and gain insights on how to avoid the negative influences in our lives.https://www.48days.com/wisdom-of-the-sages-podcast/
