I hope all is going well for you. Sometimes even in the trip through 48Days, you can get bogged down with so much great information and you get sidetracked. Have you considered a coach? I highly recommend Rob…"
"Marc -
I'm glad to hear your time alone was a success. I've been able to intentionally set aside time recently to do the same and I've found that time immensely valuable.
I agree with your assessment of those 2 enjoyable…"
"Hi Marc, Congratulations on your progress. It's so interesting to me how so much of what Dan has written really clicked with me. I have a bookshelf of books that I read once, got excited about for a few days, and then never did anything about.…"

I was able to spend Friday afternoon, as planned, in a very beautiful and secluded shrine in the Missouri wine country. Despite the triple-digit temperatures, I was able to spend a…"
"Great to hear from you, Marc. It sounds like you have already made some progress aligning your priorities to care for your wife and 6 (love it!) kids. Taking time away to collect your thoughts can be a highly valuable process.

Marc Pekny replied to Marc Pekny's discussion Day 3 of 48"Hi Aaron,
I appreciate you keeping me accountable! :) I have kind of fallen off the wagon so to speak. I have spent too much time hemming and hawing but a couple of weeks go made a few decisions to get things going with a friendly and…"

"Fantastic! I think Dan has mentioned this recently: as you prepare yourself for a job search you inevitable find more opportunities in your current position or new opportunities that you didn't see before. I'm realizing more…"

Marc Pekny replied to Marc Pekny's discussion Day 3 of 48"Aaron,
Thank you very much for giving me a bit of your background. I'm sorry for not replying sooner. Life's getting in the way, but it's a good thing. I must admit that my head is spinning a little bit. I have some…"

Hi Marc,
I try to take time each week to welcome new members to 48Days.Net. So, let me say "welcome" to you! I know you will find this to be a great site filled with people who are experiencing true success in both life and work.
Also, I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!
Finally, if you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out these two groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place:
* Speak It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Speakers!
* Write It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Writers!Again, enjoy 48Days.Net. It's a great place to be!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian
