When Steven thinks about what a successful person looks like, it’s someone well-travelled, trained, positive, with personal wealth and assets and no one fits that profile better than this week’s guest, Stephen Doran.
Stephen is an ex-firefighter who grew tired of never having enough. Taking the reins of his life, he determined to do better for himself financially. Since then he has carved out a new life for himself as a coach, author, NLP trainer, investor and speaker.
As Stephen puts it, you only get one life, but if you get it right, then one is enough.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Too many people study in order to improve themselves but don’t take action. Information is nothing without implementation.
There’s a difference between fearlessness and courageousness. Courage is being able to recognise fear, saddle up and take it on.
Setting goals is a good practice, but it’s far more valuable to set habits. Goals are dependent on too many variables. Habits are fixed programs that have no chance of failure.
The one currency we have is time. How we spend our time is what makes the difference in our lives. Get the most for your currency.
Live daily is Stephen’s mantra. It’s about finding the balance between working and living; maxing out your potential. Work but don’t forget to live.
If you don’t have someone in your life who inspires you then find them. But also ask yourself the question, are you the person in your circle that should be inspiring others?
Even if you don’t think you can do something, you should still try. It’s only during these moments that you find out what you’re really capable of.
Stephen’s main mission in life is to leave the world a little bit better than the way he found it. Small improvements everywhere will make the next generation’s experience here a little better. It’s all a butterfly effect.
Now is everything we have. The moment in which we’re living is the most important of your life.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I think it’s great to understand electricity, but it’s more useful to be able to flip the switch and turn on the light sometimes’
‘Personal development was a beautiful accident for me’
‘Hell on earth is reaching your last day on earth and meeting the person you could have become’
‘It’s about maxing out your potential’
‘If you follow in someone’s footsteps you’ll always be behind them’
‘I’d rather be healthy than wealthy. But I don’t have to be so I take both’

ABOUT THE GUEST
With a passion for helping others, at aged 19 he became a firefighter for London Fire Brigade. Frustrated financially, he decided that he wanted better for himself, as well as others, so he built several very successful companies whilst working as a firefighter. As result of his success and popularity in the media he was inundated with requests for support and advice and realised that many others could benefit from the lessons he had learned.
Eventually, he decided to leave the fire service at age 26. Since then he has made it his personal mission to help others to break free from physical, psychological and financial limitations.
ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
