Anything is possible if we work hard enough, and most importantly, try hard enough. That's the message from this week's guest, Donald L Ferguson, who joins Paul to discuss the formula behind success - Confidence + Persistence = Success - and how it has led to huge success in his own life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
To gain confidence, you have to have knowledge. Knowledge means you have to have experience. To become confident in our abilities, we have to act and you have to learn.
If we apply the knowledge we have, with the confidence we develop, to the persistence we must find within ourselves, we become more and more successful.
A crucial part of setting any kind of goal or objective, is having the imagination and vision to visualize our own finishing line. We must know where we're headed before we begin the race.
Any idea, service, thought or ambition can be worth sharing with the world. But it may not find its ideal audience straight away. We must persist until this creation finds its perfect partner.
BEST MOMENTS
'Imagination is more important than knowledge'
'I had my imagination and vision of what I could see. I literally visualized'
'You have to act so that the manifestation occurs'
'If you lose sight of your end goal, then others will knock you off your course'

ABOUT THE HOST
One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”
Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.
Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
“Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!”
