Douglas Vermeeren featuring in E NEWS!

leave a comment »

On March 6, 2023 Douglas Vermeeren was featured in E News! for the first time. All this commotion is in regards to his newest upcoming film How To Be A Hitman 101. See the link below for a direct link to the article or google “Douglas Vermeeren E News” Below is our reaction to the article and a discussion of some of the upcoming things on our ALL Douglas Vermeeren blog.

In this article he shares some of the challenges and joys he had while working on the upcoming film How To Be A Hitman 101. This rare look behind the scenes paints an interesting picture of what it took to bring this bizarre and interesting story to the screen. The interview also delves deep into some of the other upcoming projects by Douglas Vermeeren and also rare glimpses into his beginnings in film.

The article mentions the upcoming film Big Cats by Chris Sanders. This will be Douglas Vermeeren’s second time collaborating with the UK producer. In January Vermeeren worked with Sanders in the UK on the horror film “Bring me a Skin for Dancing in.” The film is slated to come out later this year through a variety of streaming services. Follow us here and we’ll no doubt be talking about that when the film is released.

While the story on Big Cats is all hush-hush for now it appears that it will be another thrilling horror featuring a cast of talented actors ready to put fear into the viewers.

Rumor has it that Douglas Vermeeren has been submitted for consideration for James Bond, which would make him the most fresh and new actor to be considered for the role. He certainly hasn’t got the industry experience that some of the others who are being talked about have, but many feel that could be a benefit. Vermeeren could bring a character to the Bond franchise that wouldn’t have others comparing him to previous acting roles. This is one of the things that really had Bond fans worried when names like Henry Cavill or Tom Hardy were being thrown around. It would be hard to look at Henry Cavill and not see Superman after all.

If Vermeeren was selected to be James Bond it would not be the first time that non-British citizen was elected. George Lazenby was from Australia. And although Vermeeren is a dutch last name his ancestry on his mother’s side is from Scotland. It will be interesting to see how this selection process plays out. Naturally we are a ways off from the revelation of who the actor will be to don the mantle of 007 but no doubt the discussions are swirling, not only among fans but in the offices of EON productions.

We are in for an exciting ride no matter what happens. In the article several more films are mentioned that are either just completed, in production or about to go into production. We encourage you to stay close to this bog as we will shortly be running contests that will include premiere tickets and swag for a variety of these projects.

Douglas Vermeeren in Bullet with her name on it — By Candice Leigh

There’s a brand new action movie coming in the style of John Wick, Kill Bill and the Bourne Identity series. While this sounds like a strange mix this is exactly what you are going to get with A BULLET WITH HER NAME ON IT. The main lead actor is Douglas Vermeeren. Known often for his stunts he will be doing many of the difficult stunt and fight sequences in the film.

Vermeeren is already a well trained martial artist. In real life he is a competitive mixed martial artist with a background in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Kempo and boxing.

Vermeeren also has vast experience with gun work in movies and has already portrayed action heroes, cops, gunslingers, hit man and mobsters.

A BULLET WITH HER NAME ON IT goes into production in March of 2023 shooting in Los Angeles, The Philippines, Canada and parts of Europe. Definitely an ambitious shoot with an incredible array of stunts promising to be a unique and fast paced action film.

At this point not much has been revealed about the story of the film, but we anticipate with eagerness for upcoming updates.

Looking like James Bond, many are excited to see Douglas Vermeeren in this new action adventure.

Entrepreneur of Influence and Effective meetings

Entrepreneur of Influence and effective meetings

By Douglas Vermeeren

Meeting are required for operating an effective meeting. Some of these meeting swill be with potential clients, hiring people to help and support your business, potential partnerships and joint ventures and to train your staff to implement new strategies and take over jobs you need to delegate. Whatever the purpose of the meetings they need to be effective if your business is going to thrive.

For those of you familiar with our Entrepreneur Influence program you will know that I had the chance to observe and learn first hand from more than 400 of the worlds top achievers. Some of the companies whose leaders I was privileged to learn from included FedEx, nike, Fruit of the Loom, Uber, UGG boots, Disney, JW Marriott and others. In this relationship of learning I was able to observe how they prepared for and participated in meetings.

The following suggestions will help you to make your meeting more effective and valuable for you:

1) All meetings should have a clear outlined purpose. One of the top achievers that learned from stated it this way, “We don’t attend meetings without a purpose and we don’t attend unprepared.” Speaking to the point of purpose first, all meetings must have an objective. I see many entrepreneurs who will accept and participate in nearly any meeting that any one wants to have. This included meetings with a client. Many small business owners and entrepreneurs take meetings too easily and too quickly. They meet with anyone who could be a potential client or relationship without qualifying that individual and without determining a purpose for the meeting.

Everyone in the meeting should be aware of and in harmony with the purpose. The more all involved are moving in the same direction and with the same conviction the more powerful and effective your meetings will be.

If you come to the meeting in a careless and casual way your results will be the same way.

You can’t create results without creating a purpose.

2) All meetings should be timely — What I mean by this is that all meetings should be at the right time and have a time limit. Firstly, what I mean by the right time is that meetings should be in their proper sequence and when those in the meeting are in a position to act on things. Part of this can be described as qualifying. For example, you wouldn’t meeting with a customer who is not ready to make a decision. But I also see many entrepreneurs who meet with potential services even though they are not yet in a position to hire those services. They claim they are just doing research. Why would you research services in an ever changing marketplace if you are not ready to act. Research when you are ready. Have meetings when you are ready to take action.

Another important consideration is to take the appropriate time to have your meeting. As I interviewed the worlds top business achievers I had one of these leaders teach me this lesson in a unique way. When I first approached him I asked if I could have fifteen minutes of his time. I believed that asking for less time would make it more likely that he would say yes to meet with me.

I was surprised that when I showed up for our meeting he placed a stop watch on the table and indicated he would measure our fifteen minutes. Thankfully I was prepared and the timing worked. After the conclusion of our fifteen minutes this individual thanked me for being on time and commented that I had earned his respect to be able to qualify for future meetings.

In a future meeting we talked about time. He pointed out something very interesting to me. He observed that most people when they meet with a client or group meeting they feel a need to have it be at least an hour. He further pointed out that this was a pattern we grew accustomed to through our time in school,. The teacher told us it took one hour to learn math or social studies and so therefore that’s what we think it takes. And now when we meet with people we automatically assume it takes the same. When people plan on meeting for an hour they fill up an hour.

He then asked me to think back over our fifteen minute meetings and point out how much more we had been able to get accomplished because we were focused.

In all our business activities we are training people how to treat us and respond to our business and brand. How you use your time in meetings is a powerful teacher.

3)All effective meetings require preparation — Determine ahead of time what you would like your outcomes to be, your objectives, your questions and what you would like to have taught. Make sure you consider all possible questions and difficulties. As I observed and worked with the top business leaders mentioned about I found it interesting that their meetings were rarely brainstorming sessions to consider questions that they were paying other people to come up with solutions for. Most of the time these meetings were session where people presented their findings and answers they had already prepared and thought about.

As we work with top entrepreneurs and train them for success we encourage the same patterns. When you meet with a client you should have already considered their questions, challenges and objections. You should have answers to these that make sense. This is what will position you as the expert. No one wants to hire a brainstorming partner. They all want resources they can trust and benefit from. The more you can demonstrate competence in your relationship the more trust and confidence you will earn.

In addition, when it is time to meet with someone for the purposes of hiring, partnering or joint venturing the more clarity you have around what you need and can offer and how you will support and train that individual the more likely success is in the end.

While there is more more that could be said about meetings these are three of the most important things to get you started. Remember never take a meeting unless it has the potential to reward you for your time and effort and move your business forward.

Create more power in your life today!

Douglas Vermeeren Power
I often have my students ask me how they can feel more empowered and inspired everyday. Often it’s not that they are engaged in work or careers they don’t like or enjoy and it’s also not that they don’t enjoy the company of friends, family or coworkers. They claim its a deeper kind of rut they feel like they are in and they just don’t know how to shake the boredom or sense of same. Here’s may answer – we can only experience what we choose to create. And if we want to be more powerful and inspired we need to put more powerful and inspiring things in our lives. Too many people that I have had ask about this issue often live a life in front of the TV, a computer screen on social media or doing the same habitual boring activities every day and in every way and then they wonder why they feel uninspired.
 
Yet my experience both personally and observationally is that we get excited as we do inspiring things, learn powerful ideas and expand and grow! A sense of power and inspiration come from a sense of progress! So today I challenge you to do something inspiring that will add more power to your life. And it doesn’t take a lot of effort of money to escape boredom and find power.
 
Here’s a few examples:
Read a good book
Go to a seminar
Serve a family member
Mentor someone who needs your help
Exercise (and do more than you normally would)
Clean your house (more on why this works later)
Make written plans for your best future
 
Do it right now and don’t wait!

VISION – If you can’t see it you can’t create it – Personal Power Mastery Minute

leave a comment »

Douglas Vermeeren Personal Power Mastery 172

Vision is a conviction for future creation. Too often results are lacking because the vision and conviction is also lacking. When you see it and believe it so much that it begins to become real the universe begins to co-partner with you to create. When the going gets tough your clarity of vision and purpose is often eh most powerful tool you will have in pushing through. When you have difficulty getting to a goal revisit and restore your vision and you’ll find power to keep going or even get stated again. #personalpowermastery #vision #ppm #douglasvermeeren #personalpower #levelup #goalsetting #successquotes #success #successclub #topmotivationalspeakers

Don’t trade your time for money – Passive income power with Douglas Vermeeren #1 Passive income coach

Douglas Vermeeren #1 Passive Income Coach.jpg

This is me taking Helicopter lessons. It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t have to be working at a job somewhere. Passive income allows you to do that. If you don’t currently have a passive stream of income (or ideally many passive income streams) you are destined to trade your time for money until you die. (Warren Buffets words not mine :)) Set a goal right now that you will start to develop more passive income streams in your life and escape the system.

Most people can come up with great ideas and are extremely creative. I am one of those people and I see others like me everywhere I go. Until I learned that the rewards are in being bold, taking action and then finishing the job (or hiring others to help you finish the job) you will never create massive success. What can you do today to start, keep going and finish at a level of competence? That’s where the real rewards are!!! #personalpowermastery #douglasvermeeren #ppmDouglas Vermeeren Personal Power Mastery 177

Your life is your own fault – The power of thoughts – Personal Power Mastery

leave a comment »

Douglas Vermeeren Personal Power Mastery 152Recently I had a lady at one of my events express how she just had a massive a-ha moment occur. For the first time she realized how her thoughts literally had created her life. Now for some this may be pretty clear and evident. You might even call it common sense. But as I listened to this lady share her thoughts with my audience members at a recent PPM (Personal Power Mastery) I was reminded of the way our thoughts manifest themselves in reality and often how they can surprise us with their speed.

I will call this lady Joyce. As Joyce stood up to share her story I could tell that she was doing it with some regret. The results she had created in her life was a separation from her husband and they were now headed directly for divorce. It didn’t look like there was much that could change that. They had both gone a little bit to far and said a little bit too much that healing was near impossible.

As Joyce stood in front of the group sharing her current Realtionship state she began to talk about how the roots had truly been in her thoughts. Little by little she began to shift her thinking as to how things would be more ideal with a different partner. She began to think about how some of the little things he did annoyed her. Those thoughts began to slowly manifest themselves as small criticisms and jabs. She began to share how the more habitual the thinking became the more it turned into comments and actions.

As the thoughts turned more and more critical she began to see how they strangled affection and hope right out of her heart. Every sign of compassion for her mate disappeared until they found themselves here. She was quick to point out that her was not perfect. But he certainly had become far worse than he was through the kinds of thinking she was doing. The more she dwelt on his faults and painted him in a negative light the more terrible he became.

As she stood before our group with tears she admitted that her thoughts had gotten out of control. She never intended for it to come to this point. As she reflected on the journey she told our group that for the first time in a long time that she realized during our weekend together at PPM that she realized what had happened. And in reality she did still love her husband very much, but she could also see why he chose not to stay.

Now I don’t know what the ending of this story will be. But I do know that our habitual thoughts all come with a consequence. We cannot dwell on thoughts for long periods of time without seeing a form of them begin to manifest in reality.

My challenge to you is to choose your thoughts carefully and be sure that they are pointing towards the outcomes you desire most. For those of you who’ve attended PPM in the past you will also know how quickly you can shift your perspective and your thoughts and even the things that currently do not serve you (or even hurt you) can be shifted into something that you want and deserve when you use the correct tools and methods to do so.

Level up your inner Voice – Personal Power Mastery minute

Level up your inner voice – Personal Power Mastery Moment

By Douglas Vermeeren

You’ve heard the saying that whether we think we can or think we can’t we are right. My interviews with top achievers and observance of those who are less successful have proven this true countless times. Our success begins with our thoughts, and even more specifically with the quality of those thoughts and what we say to ourselves.

Often most people don’t realize however, that its not the great and grand thoughts that pass through our mind each day that actually make the most difference. In fact it is the small almost harmless appearing thoughts that often have the most weight. It is the small thoughts that we often pay little attention to that condition us as to what we believe is possible for ourselves. Those little doubts are like cracks that appear in a damn. Almost almost invisible at times they make the structure of the damn weak and ready to collapse the minute something large presses against it. 

The same is true of the small thoughts most people continually nurture around doubt, scarcity, lack of self worth and so forth. Because those thoughts move freely in the mind without any attempt at repair when some great opportunity comes along that could really benefit them they are not able to take it into their lives because they have allowed small doubting thoughts to settle for too long. 

If you would like to achieve better outcomes in your life and experience more success the first step is to pay very careful attention to how you communicate to yourself. Positive and empowering communication must proceed powerful and positive results.

My challenge to you today is to start looking more carefully at your thoughts about yourself and to yourself. Start believing more in your ability to succeed then listening to your voices of doubt.
