Make the Call

Last Call

You have to decide. Right now you must make the decision to decide. Decide what exactly? Well, what decision have you been putting off?

Everyone has to make choices and decisions. The important point is actually making them. We have all put a decision off and then proceed to make excuses as to why we can’t make a choice right now. The longer you put off a decision the harder it becomes to make — you must make the call.

Dan Miller suggests giving yourself a timeline. Give yourself a few days on the important decisions, consult those you need to get input from, and you make the call. You put a date on the decision and when the day comes you make it – no excuses.

Or you can try the Dave Ramsey way. Think about the worst possible outcome that your decision can have. Can you live with it? If so, then go. Many times the worst case scenario is not as bad as we imagined it once we actually think about it.

We all have hard decisions to make from time to time. The important thing is to make them.

Book Review: Wisdom Meets Passion by Dan Miller & Jared Angaza

Wisdom Meets Passion

Something drew me to this book when I heard about it and I am glad that it did.  “Wisdom Meets Passion” is a book about moving forward and doing something you are passionate about in your life.  Why live in the mediocrity of the cubicle that you hate when you can use the wisdom you have gained during your life with the passion in your heart to pursue your dreams?

“Wisdom Meets Passion” is a collaboration between Dan Miller and his son Jared Angaza.  The two compliment each other while giving the text their own perspective.  If you have read either of Dan’s other books you are in for a change.

This book is an easy read and if you have ever listen to the “48 Days Podcast” you can hear Dan Miller’s voice while you are reading it like he is talking to you.  Why?  Because he is.  It is a wake up call to a multitude of people who are not doing what they love to do, are pursuing careers to make someone else happy, or because they think it is what is responsible “adult” thing to do.

This is not a career guide like “48 Days.”  This is a “get off your butt” guide that really helps with that push to get you going.

Jared’s points of views from living in Africa are excellent and fit very well in this book.  I would love to see him write a book of his own about his journey growing up to where he is living today on the African coast.

I would highly recommend to anyone who is stuck wishing or dreaming they were doing something else with their life.  Working with a non-profit, wanting to open their business, or ready to change the world?  Pick up this book for a kick start.

“Start with what you have. If you wait until you have the confidence you need to do a job search, the education you need before you are a great candidate, or the money you need to start a business, you’ll never start anything. Start today. Start walking toward your ultimate success.” Dan Miller
