S11E04: Notes from a lifetime of entrepreneurship, with Dan Miller
March 7, 2023
"There are few things that build trust like consistency."
In this episode, Richard Medcalf speaks with Dan Miller, the New York Times best-selling author of 48 Days To The Work You Love. Over 140,000 people have subscribed to his weekly newsletter, and his 48 Days Podcast consistently ranks in the top 1% of all podcasts. Dan's mission is to foster the process of imagining, dreaming and introspection, to help people find their calling and true path, and to translate that into meaningful, purposeful and profitable daily work.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- The mindset hack that took Dan out of a culture of poverty and resentment and turned him into a successful serial entrepreneur.
- Why, despite being a best selling author, his royalties only amount to 0.5% of his total income.
- The danger of "living but not dreaming" - and how to get out of that.
- Dan's business success strategies, including the paradox of keeping consistent AND quitting!
- The 15% rule, and how Dan applies it rigorously each year
