Hello, my name is Doug Shepherd. I am a co-author for the book series Burn the Boat the Co-founder of Timeless Possibilities Inc. developed for Personal and Team Development. I also like Dave have aligned myself with the Proctor Gallagher Institute to become a TIR (Think into Results) Consultant.
I have served many years in leadership positions in a non-profit organization creating and developing team environments, teaching problem solving techniques, financial management, goal setting and achieving goals by focusing on how we think. It was through these years that I asked the question. Why are so many people not living the life they truly would like? So many people could not see past their present state. When asked where they see themselves in five years, very few could answer that question, and those who could, had no plan to achieve it.
To answer the question, I began studying such people as Wallace D. Wattles, Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Bob Proctor, Mary Morrissey seeking the answer to the question. Through study I have become aware, and now have a greater understanding as to why we do as we do, and the needed steps to achieve the life we truly dream about. I now gain great satisfaction from teaching this to others so they to become aware of the needed steps to achieve the life they truly dream about. I also understood the true importance of accountability in achieving our dreams and work close with Dave on the “Paradigm Trimtab” online accountability system for Mastermind and other tools. Plus, courses to help people like you transform dreams into reality, goals into achievements.
In Wattles book “The Science of Getting Rich” he states, success is achieved by doing things in a “Certain Why”. Napoleon Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” goes so far as to give us the six steps required to turn any dream, or desire into reality. By applying Napoleon Hills six steps, also known as the Carnegie formula, which by the way is doing things in a “Certain Why” I am well on the way to fulfilling the three things most people what, and that is: 1) To live without any financial concerns. 2) Wake up every morning enthused about how I am going to spend my day, and 3) Spend time with other men and women who are upbeat, enthusiastic and creatively productive.
I am sure everyone can relate to those three ideas. It is a great why to live that anyone who as the burning desire can achieve. Like Dave, I invite you to study with us in one of our free book study groups which you can find under events.
When I am is not working with clients to improve their lifestyle, I love to spend time with family and friends, camping, boating, fishing and I love to go sledding with the grandkids during the winter.
