Assk Dave #6 – Questions from Facebook

Every Saturday, Dave answers a few questions from Facebook.  Here are this week’s questions: Michelle Eades Two questions for you, David … 1. do you need to actually travel to work out where else you want to travel to? 2. How do you decide who is going to be approached to be a Guest on the show? Thank You!  Ingrid Francis Hi David, I am wondering what tools or methods you like to use, or recommend, in order to stay in your “zone”….so as not to absorb any negativity or influence from others around you…….particularly family members, i.e.: spouses and children who are having a Bad Day…as running out the door is not always an option!!!….From a Mum who is striving for some in House Harmony….. The Good Life Philosophy Hi David, what has been your biggest failure to date? How did you respond at the time and what lesson did you learn from it? One More bonus Question from Barb: David… Everyone lives their lives “wishing they had been able to do more “. How do you actaully recognize and develop the “inner greatness” that you know is there but have never been able to find ? How do you actually move forward in your life if you know what you are about to do may end up hurting the ones you love? And lastly, if you haven’t already I would love if you took a minute to leave a quick rating and review of the podcast on iTunes by clicking on the link below! It would be extremely helpful for the show! Leave a review for The Kickass Life Podcast! Thank you again for your support, and I wish you all the best! Cheers!...

KickAssk Dave 3: Jen Newman & Belinda Bekkers (Questions from Facebook) [PODCAST]

David shares some fun facts in his usual silly way….Here they are…. One out of ten children in Europe are conceived on an IKEA bed.  Antarctica is the only continent without reptiles or snakes. An eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it.  In the Caribbean there are oysters that can climb trees.  Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.  The youngest pope was 11 years old. Go to davidonfacebook.com and assk your question and Dave will take time to answer it on one of his shows. QUESTIONS: Jen Newman asks:  How did you support yourself financially while backpacking for 10 years and how does it relate to your success today? (David backpacked for 10.5 years around the world and in that time had to work in almost every country…Here is what he shared on the show.) David:  “Being able to connect quickly with people as if they have known you your own life is a key to finding work, building relationships and really having a KICKASS life. People go out of their way to help you when you have a deeper connection” David regularly gets huge discounts when buying things because he has such a great time, or never pays for extra baggage because the person waves the fee. “I would decide what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it,  Many people never consciously decide exactly where to live and exactly what to do, they end up somewhere. Make it a conscious decision. Treat getting a job like a job, put 8-9 hours in a day. If people put in 8 hours a day and not be too proud to take a lower station job in order to get into the company that you want.” David worked as Harv Ekers goffer and did everything for him, got his food, carried his bags, cleaned up after him etc  in order to break into the training world. “Work for FREE and prove yourself if needed” David volunteered for Harv and never got paid, he also worked for FREE many times around the world. Work hard and do more than you are asked, go the extra mile and do what is unexpected. Add a little extra to everything you do. Have a great attitude – Attitude creates Latitude Leave something behind when you meet people, a light, an energy so people miss you, work on the connection Belinda Bekkers: I would like to know how do you decide what project/path to work on when you’re inspired to try a whole lot at once? What do you do when they all seem...
