    Your fortune might be in your attic…

    You know how Beanie Babies and Barbie Dolls can now be worth a lot of money. Yep and also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars figures and more. I’m going to tell you my latest interest - why it jumped out as something I could really dig - and how you may have some hidden value in your own childhood toys.

    Questions:
    1. You said recently that by risking failure you would open yourself up to many more deals and make far more money over time. How does that work?
    2. I’m a family doctor but am going blind. How can I continue to make money?
    3. If I work overtime I’m neglecting my family, if don’t work overtime I’m neglecting my employer and our only source of income.
    4. Will taking a job as a Simi truck driver just sidetrack, or give valuable experience and resources towards my dream?

Always a gold nugget

Dan, I just want to say thank you. I am a long time listener of your show, and I can honestly say that your perspective and mindset has had a profound positive impact on my life. You have helped me learn and grow in so many areas. The way you deconstruct complex ideas and distill them down into practical wisdom is incredible. Every single episode I have ever listened to has at least 1 actionable piece of advice that will add value to whoever applies it.

Side note - I am really looking forward to your new podcast format!

I never miss!

I subscribe to dozens of podcasts but typically pick & choose selected few interesting episodes to listen to. But with the 48 Days podcast I never miss a single episode! Dan Miller is always positive, encouraging, and full of excellent practical advice.
