Episode 46 - No Labels, No Limits - with Doug Vermeeren, Personal Power Master
Today's guest, Douglas Vermeeren, is considered one of the top leaders in personal development and achievement psychology. Doug is coming to us from Canada and he's accomplished so much in his young life, as both an author, a trainer, a speaker. Most recently he just released a book, The Personal Power Mastery and we have a lot of questions for Doug! Listen in as he dives deep into his story from simple beginnings to living in the limelight.
"There's a quote that says "The journey to a thousand miles begins with a single footstep'. Well, I'm here to tell you that's useless and the reason why is because the way it should be written, if I was the fortune cookie guy writing that, it would read, "The journey to where you want to go begins with a single footstep in the right direction, because then you would find out that it wouldn't be a thousand miles after all."
"The first thing about success is 1) it needs to be specific and clear. What do we say? A goal that is specific and clear becomes attainable. There also needs to be to some extent a way to measure: smart goal setting."
"Your goals can be very specific, very clear on what you want to attain, but if it's not in harmony with your feelings or values, it's absolutely worthless to what you're trying to do. I think there's a lot of people in today's society who are taking their cues on what success looks like outside themselves."
"Be, Do, Then Have"
