What a great guy Donny is! After being at the CNBC studios today, I got the sense that he is genuinely a proponent of entrepreneurship. It`s a show, yes, but not just a show. This really means something to him and Jeff and I were thrilled to be part of his show.
We`re on tonight if you can catch the show. The focus was on StartupNation`s Life Planning process and people who`ve gone on to live better lives as a result of deliberately making a Life Plan of their own.
 
Check it out on The Big Idea tonight on CNBC.

Also featured are two people who are living their life plan, one who left Time, Inc. to become a stand-up comedian (Steve Ballenger) and another who left her job as a trader to become a cookie baking entrepreneur (Mya Jacobson of Feed Your Soul Cookies).

Both entrepreneurs had "comfortable" but unfulfilling lives where they were stuck "workin` for the man" at day jobs. Since pursuing their life plans, though, they are able to say they are leading life the way they want to now and are much happier.

It`s so easy to get caught doing something that just pays for life without actually making life what it should really be all about for you. If this sounds familiar to you, it`s never too late to take a close look at yourself and make a change. That may mean leave your day job and start a full-time business or it may mean start a part-time endeavor. You`ll learn which suits you better when you go through the life planning process.

See you on TV tonight!

Rich

Yikes!  I`d see you if I could find you. I`m traveling. I have no tv guide on this tv and have no idea when or what channel Donny will be on.  
 
I don`t want to miss it!  Oh, well I`m sure you will have a video for all to see.
 
Glad you had a great time Rich! And I`m sure there  was alot of entreprenuel spirit being shared by you three!

That`s great to be featured on the Big Idea Show. I`ve seen it before and Donny really shows a great interest in entrepreneurs and people following their dreams to help build their careers or a business. 

If you can, you should post a copy of the video.

Nice job guys. I thought you did a great job in the time you had helping Donnie clarify what life would be life if he hated his job and was ready for a change.  Keep it up!
