SUMMARYDan is the founder of the global motivational and inspirational website, wealthygorilla.com. He began his journey in a 9-5 career at the age of 18. However, he soon became obsessed with personal development and this catapulted him into working relentlessly on his dream. Dan managed to get a taste of his dream life just before it all came crashing down. He was then faced with the decision of ultimately going back to a 9-5 or burying himself deeper in his dream with the hopes that he would revive it once more.NOTESWhy Dan started Wealthy Gorilla [1:00]Dan’s talks about how his character has evolved [5:54]Dan talks about the struggles he’s faced [10:20]How Dan handled the fear of the unknown [14:56]Dan talks about how he makes his income from Wealthy Gorilla [24:20]Dan discusses whether it’s still possible to have a successful blog today [28:43]What’s more important, passion or money?
