In this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Terpstra.

Michelle is an Expert Sales and Offer Creation Coach.

Here, she discusses her journey through sales and why it is aligned so closely to goal-setting; why she prefers to write goals down; and the importance of finding out why you may have been told 'No'.

Goals DO Come True with Doug Bennett

EP 72: Saying 'Yes' To Goals with Michelle Terpstra

Doug chats with the passionate and insightful Neil Giller, a.k.a. "Lord Neil," about being a radiator of positivity. Neil shares his wisdom on mental health, setting holistic goals, and living life to the fullest. Filled with humour, heart, and practical advice, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and ready to tackle your own goals with a fresh perspective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Choose to be a radiator, spreading positivity and inspiration, rather than a drain on others.
Set holistic goals that encompass not just monetary success, but also mental well-being, relationships, and personal fulfilment.
Prioritise self-care and filling your own cup first, so you can give to others from your overflow.
Tackle your top three priority tasks each morning to ensure you're making progress on what matters most.
Surround yourself with supportive, positive people who are rowing in the same direction as you.
Remember that life is not a rehearsal – make the most of the time you have and don't take it for granted.
Be kind to others, as you never know what someone else might be going through behind closed doors.
Work on smashing the stigma around mental health and encouraging open, honest conversations.

BEST MOMENTS

"I aspire to inspire before I expire." 

"Do you know what? It's okay not to be okay, but it's not okay not to be okay." 

"If by doing what I do or what we do, or by someone listening to this conversation, it makes it 83 or 82. Happy days. Happier days. So be it." 

"You are so important. And you've just got to fuck everyone else, fuck the deadlines, fuck that meeting for meeting sake, we've all been there before." 

"I learned that everyone in my boat has got to be rowing in the same direction."

S4E04: Crafting a Winning Resume: Insider Tips from Pro Ryan MacArthur

Doug is joined by Ant Austen as they discuss the world of self-awareness, limiting beliefs, and the power of goal setting. Discover how to stop losing at life while scaling your business and unlock the secrets to achieving your ideal life. This episode is packed with practical advice that will leave you inspired and ready to take action

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Self-awareness is crucial for understanding what works for you and identifying limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from achieving your goals.
Reframing limiting beliefs into positive, empowering statements and committing them to paper can have a profound impact on your life and business.
Success is a personal concept that must come from within, and setting goals based on your own desires and aspirations is essential for achieving true fulfilment.
Persistence, faith, and desire are proven success principles that can help you overcome obstacles and achieve your dreams.
Balancing work and relationships is essential for long-term success and happiness, and it's important to prioritise what truly matters in life.
Goal setting should involve visualising your ideal life, writing down your goals in the present tense, and reviewing them regularly to program your subconscious mind for success.
Seeking advice and mentorship from those who have achieved the success you desire is crucial for accelerating your growth and avoiding common pitfalls.
Embracing the journey towards your goals, even when the "how" is unclear, and trusting in the process can lead to incredible opportunities and personal growth.



BEST MOMENTS

"Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal. So an ideal is an idea that you've fallen in love with."

"It's never too late to be who you truly are." 

"Live your legacy. I heard that the other day, rather than leave a legacy, live a legacy." 

"I believe that it all starts through knowing exactly who you are." 

"What is success to you? And don't take any guidance from people that haven't got the success that you want."
