Profile Information
- How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
- I have listened to the 48 Days Podcast for well over two years and instantly loved what Dan had to say. During that time I have applied his message to my life and couldn't be happier! I hope to gain learn and connect with new friends.
- What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
- I am currently in dental sales - which I love! In addition to my awesome job, I recently sold an app business, wrote a book (Christian's Gifts), and am now working on my newest project, www.BeyondSchoolWalls.com - which I am looking to turn into a corporate training business.
- And then...what is your goal/dream for your work life?
- Although I do love my career, I realize when you work for any company it can be over tomorrow! With that said, my ultimate goal is to create an organization that helps train people on things that weren't taught in school (i.e. leadership, sales, goal setting, ect). I hope to get this business up in running over the next 12 months.
- Do you have a website presence anywhere?
