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 ...

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...
