Listener Question Time
15/10/2021 Duration: 21minOver the last ten years of Join Up Dots, we have answered many thousands of questions either via the podcast or directly by email response. We love to do this, as without a doubt the connection with the audience is the key to everything we do. So this week we received several questions highlighted below that our host David Ralph answers in his own style. So lets start with the first question that talks about the connection with burnout and an anti-hustle stance. As the listener asked isn't a contradiction when you leap from talking about dealing with burnout and then working harder than anyone else. Listener Question One Dear David, i have been listening to your show for the last couple of years and have heard you talk often about burnout and overwhelm. I have also heard you talk a lot about not hustling and taking things easy. Isn't this a contradiction? Isn't success simply about working harder than anyone else until you dont have to? I would love to know your answer to this question. AR, South Africa List

You Never Fail Unless You Give Up
27/09/2021 Duration: 14minYou Never Fail Unless You Give Up Let's get this straight....life is hard. Life can beat you so badly that you sometimes you want to roll up into a ball, close the curtains and keep the world outside. That is one of the problems that entrepreneurs experience everyday when they are trying to build their dream businesses.

What Have You Got To Lose ?
17/09/2021 Duration: 19minDo you ever think that you dont have options in your life? Do you think that you are stuck and can only accept what is happening instead of breaking it down? Well in todays show we tackle an email that we recieved I live in a "what the f*** do I have to lose" vibe, but everytime i say to my work colleagues "I am so close to walking out of here" they smile as they know I wont. From reading things online about famous people and the struggles that they went through to get to where they are today, so many of them were living rough, in vans or with no food to eat. I'm in a much better position than them, but I know i will never result too much. What am i doing wrong my podcasting guru.

Buying Online Businesses
03/09/2021 Duration: 59minJaryd Krause is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired podcast. He is the owner of the online business - Buying Online Businesses.com Like most people, or at least the ones that i meet everyday, he had a desire to start his own online business, walk around in his underpants at 4:00pm in the afternoon, and quite frankly reap ever easier rewards. But the story to where he is today is quite a bit different to that vision. As he says "my sheer desire to earn a decent and regular (passive) income from a minimal amount of personal input paved the path to this point of where I am at now. This desire was all necessary so that I could simply fulfil my aspiration to travel and explore the world without repeatedly needing to return home every so often to hustle my heart out to earn more money in order to take off overseas again, and again. However he wasn't moving towards that vision very easily. In fact although he was hustling, He just wasn’t hustling in the right direction. So how could he get past the sl
