But that's just the way I am...

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media March 31, 2023 Duration: 34:44

Yes, I encourage you to stay true to yourself - but that doesn't mean you can't learn and grow. Knowing yourself is never an excuse for low performance or for staying the same year after year. You can thrive and prosper even while embracing your unique self.

Episode #880. March 31, 2023

Questions we look at this week:

1. I just want to make enough money so I don't have to work anymore.

2. I got laid off because the owner wants to preserve cash.

3. I want to start my own business but I know so little about the technical aspects of web development and marketing.

4. I have looked inward at my skills, abilities, and personality traits as well as my values, dreams, and passions and the few things I have come up with don't really excite or interest me.
