You Can Survive and Thrive in the New Economy--Here's How--01/10/12

Cliff Ravenscraft a/k/a www.PodcastAnswerMan.com believes that every person was born to do the work they love. The hard part is listening to your heart to find your calling. But it can be done and many people are doing it every day! It can take some time and some work, along with a training period and a learning curve. Cliff tells his own story of going from a job with good income, excellent prospects and security to embarking upon the risk-laden, tumultuous journey, but then succeeding beyond his wildest expectations. 

It's not easy, because it requires faith: faith in your ability to learn, faith in your desire to grow, and faith in the belief that you have worth and that people will pay you for your knowledge. Cliff now gets $300 per hour for podcast consulting and he gets $5,000 per day for intensive sessions. He also sells large quantities of pre-configured equipment to aspiring podcasters. There are dozens of entrepreneurs out there succeeding, in large measure due to Cliff's passion to do internet "radio."

Most importantly, Cliff is business partners with his talented wife Stephanie. He says this business has brought their relationship to a whole new level. I guess the family that podcasts together stays together. In a world where 200 plus downloads is the mark of a successful podcaster, Cliff routinely defies the odds, achieving hundreds of thousands of downloads per month. 

So if you're thinking about starting your own business and you believe that podcasting is for you, The PodcastAnswerMan has all the answers. Without him the Financial Survival Network would still be a small struggling eccentric program broadcasting from the Belly of the Beast in downtown Greenwich, CT.
