What if you had a clear path to Uncommon Success? To financial freedom and fulfillment like you’ve never experienced up to this point? What if that path had specific action points that were not dependent on your academic degrees, your current income or past record of success - but simply required following a step-by-step process? Would you be willing to do that if you could transform your success in 3 years - in one year - or even in 48 Days? In today’s podcast I’m interviewing a dear friend (John Lee Dumas) who has spent the last 10 years interviewing over 3000 of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs - and from those revealing interviews has put together that step-by-step plan — and it’s available for you - today. Questions: 1. Does everyone have “a big idea”? 2. Why do people overlook their big idea? 3. Can someone use your Path even if they are part of a team - and maybe don’t want to just do their own thing? 4. In these changing times should we first just try to get back to normal? 5. Does there ever come a time when a business - or life - is secure?

I’m scared to death that God will judge my discontent! We all get to decide what we say "Yes" to.

I am successful for my career path and totally miserable. I am blessed beyond belief and can barely meet each day. I am scared to death that God will judge my discontent 2. Is there some guidance you have that we can help our children discover how God has uniquely gifted them and how we can help them excel in this area? 3.
