The Power of Learning from DAD

Lesson 1 – Desire – Part 1

“Your ambitions will be realised through imagination, careful planning and self-discipline”

What prospects would you imagine of a person who came to the UK as a refugee after fleeing persecution and war? How do individuals starting out from difficult backgrounds achieve success? In this video, Dr Selva Pankaj, proprietor of the multimillion-pound education and real estate company, Regent Group, introduces his life story, fleeing war in Sri Lanka and coming to the UK as a refugee with no money, a limited education and no connections. It was in the UK, that he began the journey to success by learning from the insights that were passed on to him from his father. Dr Selva Pankaj will begin to share these insights with you in this video.

The first key to success is DESIRE. Having a burning desire is critical to success, as are the following elements.

• Know exactly what you want
• Know what you are going to give in order to achieve what you want
• Establish a definite date by which you intend to achieve it
• create a definite plan for carrying out your desires, and begin to act now
• Get emotionally involved with your desire, so as to place the burning desire for its achievement into your subconscious mind

Lesson 1 – Desire – Part 2

“To maintain focus and commitment to your goal, and to follow through your plan until completion, you must do what you enjoy and follow your passion.”

In this video Dr Selva Pankaj goes through a range of examples that will inspire you to follow your passion. Examples include Elon Musk, John Milton and Thomas Alva Edison. Each of these entrepreneurs was catapulted to success through the execution of a passion driven project.

These pioneers of the past give us insight into how we can forge a positive future for ourselves now, and into the future. These pioneers also give us insight to the importance of having a burning desire. Having a deep and burning desire is exactly what we mean by having a PASSION. A deep and burning desire is absolutely critical to achieving the goal that you want. Passion might well save your business, your relationships or even your life. As it does, in one story recounted here.

Questions to consider from these videos:

• What are your current goals?
• Do you have your goals written down and do you review them daily?
• Do you have a burning desire, i.e., a passion, to achieve your goals?
