Personal Development Mastery: Clarity for Midlife Professionals in Transition

Paul Shepherd is a Sydney-based 7-figure entrepreneur and coach, who combines science and spirituality to “crack the code” of fulfillment. Throughout the years, he spent over $500k on personal development courses - he's attended the majority of the well-known seminars, listened to personal development legends, applied everything they said... And that made him millions with his businesses, but still something didn’t feel right, there was no fulfilment. His transformational journey led him to develop his unique Mastery system that helps leaders to live a life of purpose and meaning.   Listen to the 2nd half of this fascinating conversation in the next episode #108!   𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: * Lessons learned from spending $500k on personal development programs * The single biggest reason why 80%+ of the world is unfulfilled and unhappy * Body intelligence holds all the answers, if we learn to tap into it * Our "genetic user manual", a blueprint of our soul   𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀: Website: http://paulbshepherd.com/   𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲: "When we can look at these events as lessons as opposed to punishments, we move away from being a victim and into an empowered state of being the master of our own destiny." -Paul Shepherd   𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁: I am Agi Keramidas, a knowledge broker and zealous podcaster.
