How to create revenue streams no matter where you are is one of the questions that most people have. Some people think this is not possible for them. My guest today have a totally different viewpoint.
In this episode, my guest Dan Miller gives us a different perspective on taking risks. He defines clearly the difference between good and bad risk. He contends that not all risks are the same and it is important to know the difference. He also talks about how he was able to bounce back from over three hundred thousand dollars in debt by refusing to take a J.O.B.
