1. A year ago I decided to leave a good job to attend graduate school to get my PhD in history. I now have no desire to complete my degree and I am completely burned out. How do I explain to an employer the gap in my work history since I did not complete my degree? Is this going to make me look like a quitter?2. How can I find out what color my parachute is?3. Dan, I've heard on your podcasts you have sold cars to supplement your income. My son and I would love to start doing this together. I've

1. How do you know the difference between being in the wrong job or being in the right job and you're being stretched? 2. I was wondering if you might dedicate an entire podcast to raising kids to be hard workers and have a "No More Mondays" mindset. I need help being creative with my kids and helping them be creative in ways to make money.3. Can you talk about pricing soft services like coaching and how to find the right price to charge? 4. I am stuck in a "RUT" I go to a job every day (c

1. Is it okay to work in something that is not my passion – but pays the bills?2. Should I leave a government job – “with security” – to go with something that has more potential?3. Is it too late to start at 50 to find a career that feeds my soul and my pocketbook?4. Is it wise to borrow money to cover my income while I get my coaching biz started or continue working full time?5. The company I work for is losing money and sure to close down soon. Should I move on or stay to the

We had lots of response to last week’s podcast on “social entrepreneurship.” Here’s just one:Thank you so much for the podcast with Jared. I am from Kenya and my village is crippled with so much poverty. I have wanted to do something with the women, most men are dead or gone. I wanted not to ask for aid or give the women handouts, I want them to use the available resources to make money and come out of poverty. My village is pretty small and I know this can work. I just had no idea how

Many of you have asked to hear more about “social entrepreneurship.” I have mentioned this frequently over the last couple of years as a growing example of being able to “do good” while “doing well.” What I mean by that is that you can change the world, address pollution, poverty, share the gospel, make the world a better place – you get to decide what your passion is – and MAKE MONEY in the process.In this podcast I have my son Jared as my guest. Jared is executive director o

1. I'm struggling with something and hope you might have some insight. I'm wrestling with how much I seek God for His will and what He wants vs. doing what I want for my life's work. Does it just not matter to God what we do, as long as we walk w/Him in it?2. Okay Dan, I've listed my skills, interests and personality characteristics on paper, it was a great exercise! But now how do I integrate this information to come up with the right business ideas?3. Any advice for a mom of 4 kids (who has

1. I have an idea for a non-profit business that currently does not exist that benefits children. It is something I have a heart for and am passionate about. Can I support my family this way? 2. You have talked about setting up a system where products you sell on a website could be shipped directly from the manufacturer and you do not have to mess with carrying inventory etc. How do I set up such a system (through a fulfillment house) and how do I find product manufacturers that would do this

1. My Pastors wife is looking for me to help her out with selling her paintings and art work. All her work is Christian based and wants to generate income to help her family. Do you have any ideas for me on how I can go about to show her the steps to take? Thank you.2. I am on Social Security Disability and am very disabled. Cannot handle any kind of stress without passing out. No money to start anything. Cannot afford necessary food, or your books and packages. Intensely desire to be like an

1. I'm starting a business and have a friend with the right abilities to help. Though she would be integral to the function and marketing, the business couldn't exist without my license, degree, and experience. How can I set this up? What is a practical way to divide the fee if 50/50 isn’t quite appropriate? Thank you2. Other than Matthew 6:33, what does the word of God say about job hunting? I have been looking for over a month, have a great coach and still no success.3. I want to create a

Check out the last question here. It’s a great question for all of us – I trust I was honest in my response.1. What kind of entrepreneurial choices are available for someone whose personality is that of a follower instead of a leader? I'm the type of person who enjoys working in the background and letting others manage and network with customers. 2. I have a passion for helping people work through addiction recovery. I want to write a daily devotional to help encourage them. Even better:

1. I am unemployed and don’t have the financial resources to start a business, but I can't motivate myself to go back to any 8-hour JOB! I want to be an engagement & marriage coach. 2. How much time do I really need to free up to get my business going on the side so I can make a step rather than a leap in the next 24 months? I am a landscape painter (oil) and currently work for Corporate America! Help! 3. I'm nervous about leaving a secure salary because I failed once. Business is picking up n

No Money – No ProblemI begin this podcast by sharing about a lunch meeting with an up-and-coming music star in Nashville. Then I spend the rest of the time dealing with this all so common question – How can I possibly start an idea of my own without “enough” money? We had 4685 questions submitted for our recent 212ºConnection teleseminar. Probably 800-900 dealt with this issue. Here’s just a sampling – then you can listen to my reasons for moving ahead even if you have zero mone

1. I've been self-employed since graduating college in 1985, and I love being self-employed. I work at home as a real estate appraiser and broker. But at 45, with 22 years of poor money management, debt, and no retirement, I'm growing more and more concerned about ever being able to retire, or not being able to work due to health reasons. I am beginning to wish I had been employed somewhere for the past 20+ years, where I would have some benefits.2. Dan, I have been employed by a large nationa
