Dreams Around The World

You've only got one life, so why not design it around your own personality and desires? I’m Dan. I’m a former entrepreneur turned freelance copywriter turned author and coach. I value freedom and experiences over money and things and I believe we’re all capable of designing our own lives. So far mine has included living in 7 countries, publishing 12 books, and working hard to achieve my dream of being time and location independent. Along the way I’ve shared my experiences and helped 1000s of people start designing their own lives as well. I speak about psychology, personal development, life design, and anything else I think you’ll find useful and inspiring. I do my best to be uplifting, funny, entertaining, and at least 96% guru free.

I'd Rather Drink Wine and Flirt Than Win

Today I'm diving deep into a topic that's been on my mind: the toxic trend I've observed in self-development and life design communities. Namely the relentless pursuit of hyper-productivity.   You know what I'm talking about - the endless tips and tricks on how to optimize every little aspect of our lives, turning what should be fulfilling activities into robotic, mechanical routines all while forgetting the big picture. But here's the kicker - does it actually make us happy? Sure, maybe it works for some personality types, us free-spirited ENFPs and INFPs, it's a whole different story. And you know what? That's something I'm truly grateful for.  To learn more about the peculiarities of our type and how to use them to your benefit, check out my latest book 'ENFP Calling,' In it, I share valuable insights on crafting the most fulfilling life as an ENFP:  https://www.DreamsAroundTheWorld.com/TheEnfpCallingBook/  I hope you enjoy this episode, and by the way, if you would like to submit your own question for a future episode, you are very welcome to do so at: https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/askdan/

An ENFP New Year's Episode

Happy New Year everyone :) If you'd like my help making 2024 the best year yet, the two ways I'd suggest this month are: -Reading The ENFP Calling- I just received this from an ENFP who spent her New Year's on a Volcano in Guatemala: "By the way, Dan, congratulations on the book.

Thank you!" https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/theenfpcallingbook/ or just search for ENFP wherever you buy books.

Increasing My Price To $20,000 - Lessons For Fellow Entrepreneurs, Coaches, and Freelancers

I was hesitant to record this episode because I don't usually discuss my pricing and these parts of my business so openly. I'm sharing this episode because a few people encouraged me to, and because I think there is a lot of valuable information for people selling services AND for anyone looking to hire a coach.  Including things like red flags a "coach" is actually a scammer, or at the least, someone you should avoid.  Oh, what's this? What a cool cover page. If I was an ENFP I'd run out and buy a copy today. If I wasn't one, I'd buy a copy for Christmas for every ENFP I know.
