Using Mindfulness as a Tool to Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy — Dan Goldfield

Can you be happy doing nothing, and can that same skill help you make money? I sat down with Dan Goldfield, a mindfulness and business coach from the UK who went from professional drummer to five years of study with a monk.

Dan explains mindfulness as clear seeing, why real spiritual practice subtracts instead of adds, and his theory that cold weather made the West chase stuff while the East sat under trees. He also shares how 20 years of drumming left him with pain between his shoulder blades, and how a chiropractor who found nothing wrong with his spine sent him to the Alexander Technique.

Then we get into money: how Dan started his online business with £3,000 in the bank, launched his first offer within five months and made 10 grand in a weekend, what he calls free-tiring, and why he writes for his past self.
