Your Will-power starts with your Why-Power! Personal Power Mastery by Douglas Vermeeren , Personal Power Mastery Too often I have people that attend my seminars ask about the idea of motivation. Most of their questions and comments revolve around the challenge that have experienced in the past about not being able to stay motivated. They often share how they’ve thought out their goals and they really know what they want. They even confess that the things they have set goals around really are going to serve them best in the long run. They stress in their explanation that they are bewildered by how they just can’t follow the logical plans that were so well-laid. The challenge does not rest in their desires or even their well-laid plans. The challenge lies in how our brain actually chooses the activities it will support. Without getting into a long explanation this particular post actually addresses a few of the various “powers” we discuss in Personal Power Mastery. I could ...

Doug Vermeeren : You’ve heard the idea that people spend more time planning their summer vacations than they do planning for their life. It might sound like a funny idea if it weren’t closer to the truth than most people realize. The majority of people who even claim to be in charge of their lives still don’t take time to regularly plan and evaluate their lives. Their planning is most often sporadic and only spurred on by either outside events that force them to revaluate or a high inspiring moment that reminds them of what they are capable of. If you are going to make powerful strides towards creating the success you want in your life a careful examination of your life and your activities in relationship to your goals must be a regular activity. As I meet, interviewed and spend time with some of the world’s top achievers I was quite surprised to see that each of them spend much careful time in meditation, pondering and careful thought about their present and future. (They di...

An important component of relationships   Personal Power Mastery by “ Doug Vermeeren ”. Relationships are one of the five pillars of success. We will talk later about what that means and why they are so important. This pillar of relationships is not limited to a spouse, one of your children or even your extended family – it refers to everyone you interact with and how you are connected to them. But today I want to talk about the closer family relationships and let’s face it sometimes we don’t always feel as connected to them as we would like. Being connected to others can sometimes be a hard thing. Even when our intentions are great and we want more connection the other person may resist and not feel the same way. Sometimes we may have even made mistakes that have hurt the other person or done something to break down trust and connection. While this short article won’t give you all the secrets of creating a stronger relationship instantly I want to share with you on...

Personal Power Mastery Minute by Douglas Vermeeren This is a most important subject which I anticipate you will be seeing many times in the future with Personal Power Mastery. The reason why is that people always support what they value most. Let me put it another way, why do people struggle to get to their goals? Why do people struggle to keep New Year’s resolutions? Why do employees miss sales goals? Why do people even forget things they said they would do? Why do people even forget important dates like birthdays and anniversaries? It all has to do with our values. What we value most becomes a priority. What we don’t value gets procrastinated, discarded, postponed, avoided or experiences whatever other kind of neglect you can think of. We always do what we value most. We always protect what we value most. And so therefore our life is really a reflection of what we value most. For some people we can instantly see that values that are not creating patterns of success. I...

Doug Vermeeren : Imagine if there was a million dollars in a brief case for you on the other side of a field. The money is all yours all you have to do is go and pick it up. There is however one catch the field is filled with landmines and you don’t know where they are. Crossing this field will be a very challenging not to mention potentially explosive obstacle. However you have a few options to get across. Option 1 – Run like heck a hope you make it okay. Option 2 – Read a book about it and take it slowly and cautiously on your own. Option 3 – Have someone who has navigated the field once before tell you what to do from the sidelines. Option 4 – Have someone who has successfully navigated the field multiple times walk with you and point out the potential dangers and challenges. Which one would you pick? When it’ appears in the context it’s pretty obvious which choice is the one you should select to complete the objective of crossing the field. But when it comes to...

Secrets of Storytelling for Speakers According to  Douglas Vermeeren Storytelling is one of the most important skills a speaker can develop. Storytelling is the most important part of connection and engagement. It makes you real and relatable. It is what allows people to see your authenticity. Storytelling is also considered one of the most powerful skills you can have when selling form the stage. The power of storytelling cannot be underestimated. I love storytelling. (Can you tell?)

For the last two decades I have been a public speaker. I have seen a lot of changes and most prominently I have seen many new speakers arrive on the scene with the intention to create a massive business sharing their expertise. More often than not they fail. This makes me ask: Is public speaking as a business dead or dying? As I have carefully considered this question and looked at the complete landscape of what is really going on in this highly saturated industry of speaking, coaching, mentoring and personal development in general I have an answer to this question: The old way of building this business is dying. While those who understand the nuances of today’s marketplace are not only thriving but building incredible 7 & 8 figure businesses. If I were summarize a few of the differences between the dying and thriving it would be as simple as this: The dying are relying on an old model of the speaking business. In other words they are focusing on creati...

One of the big mistakes I see speakers making today is that they don’t understand or they misuse the power of social media in growing their business. Most of them are not using it at all for their businesses. They are silent. Silent = invisible. You’d think that they would recognize that the biggest conversations are taking place in these forums now and to remain silent is to stay invisible. That is the worst you can be. At least doing things wrong or only part way well is not invisible. Even when you do things wrong there may be those who agree with you. But what I wonder is why there aren’t more people using social media to position themselves as experts. Why aren’t those who are supposed to be teachers using these platforms to share more about what they do and how they can help? Anyways, that is my challenge to you. Get out there and add value. Let people experience who you are. If you are a speaker, trainer or coach become more visible and let people ex...
