Loved the garden analogy. Jim Rohn taught me this years ago. Deeply connect with your audience. Andy will you please consider doing a Google Plus Hang Out interview with me on this topic? It would be a live stream event and I'd bring attention to your programs on my site while linking back to you. Just a thought if you'd like a few more planters.

Good info... I love the line "My wife loves this author".

I was thinking about my 21 yr old son and his passion to teach "fly fishing". So I wrote this for him.

Go Nathanael Go!
Nathanael my son as I’ve said before,
If your works your passion it’s not a chore.
And so my son in all I’ve seen,
A mans only happy when chasing his dream.
The dream that lives and drives your soul,
It’s much like panning for nuggets of gold.
The time you get to do what you love,
Will never be lost cause it’s in your blood.
Time will fly like you’ll never know,
Like being in heaven while here below.
And so my son open your heart,
Give it your all and not just a part.
Know that the Father has planted the seeds,
He wants a garden free of all weeds.
So water and work to make it all grow,
And know that you reap whatever you sow.

Thanks so much for this encouraging post! I've been researching and praying about starting my own business and this confirmed that I'm on the right track! I'm so grateful for your ministry of encouragement :)

Great information! I am in the process of getting my photography business re-started! Thank you for the information! It really gives a great perspective! Just like the Traveler's Gift does! AMAZING book! Glad you didn't give up on your dream! =)

This was such an amazing interview. Thank you Andy. The Traveler's Gift is such an amazing book. I can't believe you had to give it away. I just wrote a book and I have the same reaction. The people who actually read it love it, but I'm not as known as some other personal development authors. Thank you Any for your inspiration!

Thank you again Andy. I started up my business again in January and needed that shot in the arm!

Andy, this is SO timely that it's amazing. Today, of all days I have made a key pivotal decision in starting my own business. Thank you for the wisdom, encouragement and inspiration you spread here in each post and especially the podcasts!
