Doug Gordon is an international speaker, a radio presenter, and CEO of D&S Performance Optimisation. He spent 21 years in the investment industry selling hedge funds and mutual funds B2B to global banks, institutional fund managers, and stockbrokers. He held positions of head of sales and marketing and sales director at two of the top fund managers in Europe. In 2012 he had a near-death experience which was the same year he did an industry record of over $1.75bn in sales in one year.
Doug’s worst investment ever was following other people’s dreams and money rather than following his heart and what was truly meant for him. He found himself doing what other people said he should be doing instead of following his true mission in life. This made Doug stressed, depressed, and anxious because his gut told him he was meant to take a different path, but he kept ignoring it.
Eventually, Doug listened to himself and got on track. Now he is doing what he loves most and has aligned what he loves doing and helping people. Doug focuses on adding value to people rather than focusing on how much money he will make out of it. He believes he’s found his true purpose, and he is living it.

Exercise to honor your body every day and have that awareness of where you are and what you’re looking to achieve. Then meditate to visualize your goals and visualize the steps, procedures, and processes in place to achieve those goals.
Doug’s number one goal for the next 12 months is to get his TV show up and running and bring on some inspirational people that can add
