I'm being held prisoner by my job…

I'm being held prisoner by my job…

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media October 27, 2023 Duration: 37:31

In our recent survey the overwhelming majority of you said you dream of running your own business - or you want to grow the business you already have. Fewer than 10 responses said you wanted help in finding a job. And yet a whole lot of the stories you shared told of being in a job now that you wanted out of. So, moving forward, I will be interspersing those stories - only to provide a framework for how to go from the job you have to the business you're dreaming about.

We've got some gripping stories today - from that recent survey that will give us the set up for how to move from where you are - to where you want to be. 

So, grab your cup of tea - or maybe your Mt. 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 need to find a new job. It likely won't be a dream job, but it should be better than where I am. 

2. I have a JOB but I think it has the potential for passive income. 

3. I've been advised to go after the low hanging fruit/opportunity and put my passion aside. 

4. I'm stuck in my own version of the Stockholm Syndrome and don't know how to break out. 

5. I feel trapped by my resume and my wife wants me to make a sensible choice and "stay in my lane." I want to do something more creative, fun, and exciting.
