Key Takeaways
You don't have to be famous to feel that you're not getting what, it touches everybody
When you're on your purpose, and you're doing work that's in line with your purpose, well, then that's when your passion increases and increases exponentially. Because it's a different type of passion. It's an inner passion, and the love and the joy what Napoleon Hill referred to, it's that burning desire within yourself to make a difference.
The secret of success is knowing your true life purpose.

I'm here today with Paul Davis. Paul is an ultra popular business advisor, you get a massive amount of experience huge amount of experience. As an intuitive personal advisor, bestselling author, award winning business growth consultant speaker, and he he says that his clients regularly refer to him as a game changer when it comes to the insights that he shares with them, and results they achieve. So I'm rather hoping we're going to get some of that today as we have our discussion. It's a cup of coffee. Paul, I hope you're there with your cup of coffee major here. Welcome to the podcast, Paul. Good, good, good to be here. That's really embarrassing when you read that stuff. You too muddy? So let's just start with with with the obvious first question. So who is your ideal client? what's the what's the the biggest challenge that they face?
Paul Davies 11:22
Sure. Okay. So my ideal clients or their business owners, the vast majority of my clients will be in professional services. But I've worked with a lot of executives, CEOs, C suite individuals, celebrities, and people that we well known as well in the marketplace, and, and work with them from in a number of different aspects. But typically, what they do for comment to me, they're typically in space, that they're looking for a bit of clarity, they're looking for a direction for life. So people will, for some of them, people will perceive as being hugely successful, that they have everything that you know that either the business is going well, or that they have everything that people perceive that people should have less that way. And so people do see them as being successful. but inwardly they're saying, Do you watch, I, you know, the business is going well, but I'm not actually, I'm not getting anything from myself. And so they're looking for a bit of clarity, looking for direction, they will regularly use terms along the lines of I feel like I'm just on the hamster wheel on a treadmill. And I'm just going from day to day, and just not getting any fulfillment, I'm going to crossroads, I there's no purpose, there's no meaning in my life. And so inwardly, they will be quite sad or unhappy. That's for that way. And they're searching for more meaning and more purpose in their life.
Stuart Webb 12:46
common to many people, isn't it? Paul, you don't have to be famous to feel that you're not getting what
Paul Davies 12:50
it felt absolutely not, though, that it touches every, every every walk of life and every individual to be honest.
Stuart Webb 12:57
Yeah. So one of the common mistake people make when we try to solve that problem without without getting help from somebody like yourself.
Paul Davies 13:04
And it's, well, it's something that somebody is not going to discuss with anybody else. For the vast majority of my clients, they, they have to hold on to their persona, in terms of so the run under business order, they're very senior individual, and therefore they've got employees, they've got a team and all that kind of thing. So therefore, if they were to let their guards down, that has a huge impact on them. And it has a potential to for one bad word to their fear is that it could ruin their life, it could render business, it could ruin everything that they're seeing as being both in their family, their society, their team members, and so on. So a lot of them won't seek out help from the perspective of they don't know where to go to be quite honest. They don't fall into the category of well, I should go to a therapist or should go to the counselor or like, it's not really that it's kind of it's just just constant search for what's going to give me meaning or fulfillment. So what a lot of people do is they they go and search online, and then they do watch pretty much the vast majority of people out there do to try and find purpose and meaning. And what they find is that, you know, they'll come across things along the lines of, you know, if you take Victor Frankel's book, Viktor Frankl was was the person that survived the concentration camp during the war. And he wrote a book Man's Search for Meaning. And so if you read the book, you'll understand so you know what perfect, Frankel says, you know, the meaning of life is the meaning you give it. But it still doesn't answer the question for the individual. Because literally, really what you could say is well, okay, you could give meaning to anything. And it's the meaning that you give something that gives you meaning, but that's it doesn't answer the question doesn't solve the problem. And then other things that you find online, or people that are books or people that they read or training courses, for example, they'll say, Well, you know, you got to find your passion. If you find your passion, then that's your purpose, and turn that into Your purpose turns out into your business and so on. But it's actually not that that's actually incorrect. Because what I've discovered is that passion follows purpose. But what I mean by that is like, I'm passionate about a lot of different things. I love red wine. I love horse riding, I love everything that's to do with life related. And we've seen recently, just just in last weekend, in terms of Richard Branson going into outer space, yeah, I would absolutely be number one on on that ticket. And so they're my passion is, that's what I love. But it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my purpose. So when people try and find their passion, in order to find a purpose, is actually the wrong way around. When you're on your purpose, and you're doing work that's in line with your purpose, well, then that's when your passion increases and increases exponentially. Because it's a different type of passion. It's an inner passion, and the love and the joy what Napoleon Hill referred to, it's that burning desire within yourself to make a difference. So it's, it's, it's, that's what's actually drives passion. And then we would have heard terms in relation to, you know, find your why. And if you find this, why,
Stuart Webb 16:04
exactly what I was just thinking, Paul, I'm fairly sure that you were going to bring that out.
Paul Davies 16:08
It's, it's not because then again, lymphokines way you can apply of why to anything. But you got to know your purpose first, before you can apply your why. So people try and see and here's the here's the biggest mistake discharge, people try and find out why but they're consciously thinking, to work out what your why is. And as business consultant, I've come across this so many times in terms of, because we've heard so many other business coaches or mentors or trainers, not offended and talk about finding your voice. But they're talking about from a conscious perspective, your why your true why what I call your genius inspiration that comes from your unconscious. So you'll never be able to find it, I bring my clients sure way of how to find it from your unconscious, because you got to look for the evidence. But trying to work it out consciously is never going to give it but the thing is, you need to know your purpose first meaning you got to know your what your mission is. And when you know, your mission, which is your purpose, though is to wash your to do well then now to fly, make the mud, the wind makes sense to what your mission is. So that's that there's some of the mistakes that people find. But honestly, it's it's what's out there. And I'm very, very unique and in want to do very, very unique and how we do it as well. And Bush, it that's the information that's out there online and books and articles things. And unfortunately, it brings a lot of people down a lot of cul de sacs and they still end up having that sense of, it's still not giving me what I want. It's still not telling me what I need to do in this life. What What am I supposed to do? What's the direction supposed to go in? So that's typically what you find.
Stuart Webb 17:45
It's great resource, the internet is net, but it doesn't actually help you discover some of those things. Because there is so much out there, you still get that guy to help you move in the right direction to discover what you're trying to try and try to pull that has been hugely insightful. What's the valuable free, action valuable free resource that you'd leave with the audience today to sort of get them to sort of start that journey themselves?
Paul Davies 18:10
Yeah, absolutely, that there's two things that the audience can can gain access to. One is if I'm building a community of purpose driven business owners, so these are business owners that wants to, there's two for one bad word, two communities within one community. There's the community that are business owners that want to find out their budget purposes, and they want to develop more personal mastery skills. So if people go to the executive coach calm, and they find out enough, a lot more information that you can go to my website, and there's a link on the website. But the executive coach comm would bring them to the actual community itself. And then also within the community is people that I've helped him to find what their purpose is, I'm bringing through a particular methodology, you could call the pilots manual. And when when they go through the pilots manual, now they know exactly what their purpose is. And they offer those groups of people now what we're doing is we're building and scaling a business around what's our purposes. So it's a proper purpose driven business, if you follow what I mean. And that's one free resource. It's, it's freely available to join. It's not on any social media, which is absolutely perfect for my audience. And I personally don't like social media, a lot of my business owners and clients don't like social media, either. So I've actually built the community on a standalone profit platform, completely off social media. And also if people go to my website, if you go to Paul, William Davis, calm, there's a free ebook that I have on there. And that's I taught all of it, what's the meaning of life? And how to how do you actually find your life purpose? And so I debunk a lot of myths that are out there. And like what I've just said around relation to finding your why and so on. So I talk a little bit more about those in the book itself. But then I also give you the the structure of how do you actually find your true purpose and so Both freely available to your listeners. Great.
Stuart Webb 20:03
Thank you. Thank you. So what's that concept or book or program that's been most impactful in your experience?
Paul Davies 20:10
I've had a lot of time with this question before I came on the interview Stewart, and there is so many books and people that have come across over the years I've worked with, I've worked with amazing geniuses out there. And they've all be phenomenal. They've all made a huge, huge impact. But what I went back to was false. The starting point on one of my journeys, as we're going through, and the book that came up was the power of the subconscious mind, which is by Dr. Joseph Murphy. And that, for me was kind of an insight is that Oh, my god detector is much, much bigger here. And so that was, as well as the light bulb moment for pandas reading that book.
Stuart Webb 20:47
Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. One of the most beneficial concepts that I came across very early in my career was that johari window, which is a very simple thing to talk about, which is, you know, how much of what our behavior, our our understanding of myself is still buried beneath the surface that we ourselves are not even aware of. So I agree with you that that sort of concept is an incredibly powerful, it's something you must understand that otherwise, you never get to understand the way in which you behave. Other people understand you anyway. Absolutely. Yeah. So it's been a fascinating discussion. But I guess there's one question that I should have asked you, which I haven't. So I'm now going to ask you to pose that question. And please, the answer to that question. Otherwise, that will make people sitting there unfulfilled with a lack of action? I
Unknown Speaker 21:33
don't know whether I'll give you the answer, though. That's the only thing. The only question you should have asked is, what's the secret to success?
Unknown Speaker 21:42
Actually, in my view, the secret of success is knowing your true life purpose. I don't mean your true life purpose, which comes from your unconscious. And so it's not something you create, literally, it's guided from your unconscious. So when you know your true life purpose, that's the single most powerful way for you to enable to you to actually reach your full potential.
Unknown Speaker 22:01
