Meet Doug Giesler

We recently connected with Doug Giesler and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Doug, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

This is quite a long story, actually, and it is detailed in the book “Be The Instrument” that I am re-publishing in January to help more people. The essence of this story is that during my late 20’s and early 30’s I discovered something that changed my life. Instead of burying emotions, and being overwhelmed, limited by FEAR and the corresponding avoidance / resistance techniques we all know and love, I learned how to process emotion, capitalize on the inflow of energy and truly overcome these limits! In doing so, I turned over a stone that had a massive prize underneath it. I couldn’t keep this GEM to myself, I had to share it so that others could benefit from the pain and suffering I went through to release these shackles and create a sense of FREEDOM for myself. The 1st step towards my higher purpose was to go out into the world and prove that this stuff actually works….So, I did that! Now, after many awards, hundreds of satisfied clients, and quite a few accolades, I am giving it all back. I intend to launch 3 books in the next 12 months, possibly a 4th which hasn’t quite made it to the written page form yet, as well as 2 others that I am a co author in! One is endorsed by the library or congress, another is endorsed by quite a few powerful and highly educated people, including Tony Robbins!

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am a personal development coach and award winning Realtor @ Lake Murray in SC. I have been “coaching” virtually all of my adult life for my family, close friends and of course my clients. Everyone has always reached out to me, when the **** hits the fan. Now, it’s time to help more people. My books are geared toward helping people overcome their own “stuff”! Three books I have written will be coming available soon. The 1st is “Be The Instrument”, with a new cover, currently scheduled for release in January…maybe sooner! Stay tuned. The 2nd is “The F-Word, No not that one, Forgiveness, Why it matters”, and the 3rd, is The F-word, No not that one, Faith, Why it matters. The 4th, will be the same title, but relative to overcoming FEAR! I have 2 more books that will be released soon that I am co author in. One is by Jim Britt, “Cracking the Rich Code”. My Chapter is entitled “UN limit your limit” and a 5th is a motivational book in which I have written 2 pages geared towards the same material, unlimiting limits! Lastly, I am launching a series of websites.

www.WhattheFwords.com
…and a few others, including: www.BeTheInstrument.com!
I will be giving away quite a lot of free content so that people can benefit from my pain and take 20-30 years off their learning curve! These same titles are also represented on Facebook, and I am easy to find online. Just let me know how I can help! Oh, and BTW, if you are looking for a great home in Central SC, I sell homes primarily on Lake Murray and I’d love to help 🙂
Look me up online at www.SClakehomes.com for Real Estate, My team and I would love to help!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Emotional Mastery / Thought Mastery / Connecting the Heart and Mind
In my younger years, I buried emotions. I have always been an empath, and so processing emotions was very difficult for me as I was growing up. I did not know what to make of them, so I buried them, in what ever ways I could. Food, nicotine, alcohol, avoidance and resistance behaviors, but thankfully not drugs and not to an extent that was detrimental to the point where it killed me. What’s that saying, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? I would argue that is the case ONLY IF YOU ARE AWARE while you are making the mistakes!! Awareness of, and mastery of the mind became an “addiction” for me. I studied it relentlessly! I was amazed at life, the mind, and the way that it worked to such an extent that i was obsessed with making it work better and more efficiently! Nothing could stand in my way, so I gave up nicotine, I gave up alcohol, I managed my mind in better and more efficient ways. The waves would come, but I learned how to be above them, and use the energy they provided to do better, MORE, and overcome MYSELF in more and more demanding situations! How to improve you ask? Watch your MIND diligently as you are moving through life. In every situation, with all kinds of people, watch the mind as it processes. BE ABOVE IT, vs IN IT….that may sound strange, but awareness of the mind is different than being enmeshed within it! NON attachment is the key of keys that mobilizes and empowers awareness to UNLIMIT our own limits as we proceed through life and use the power of presence, NOW! The power in NOW is the most amazing resource available to us, but the bottom line is that we can’t use it if our minds are captivated by some PAST or FUTURE, in a theatre of the mindscape! That’s not NOW and we have no power there! Get present with awareness, use your power here and now! GROW, use mistakes as the building blocks to SELF-KNOWLEDGE, accept the lessons, and take another step forward. For more tools, check out www.UNlimityourlimit.com

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

There are many exceptional thought leaders out there with a crazy amount of influence. I appreciate all that you do! Thank you for being a positive force in the world. We should all be collaborating, the world needs guidance, more smiles and MORE LOVE! I aim to put this amazing information in front of the masses. When I say that I was blind but now I see, that’s the truth. It happened in my mid 30’s. I had a revelation of sorts, all detailed in the books! I want to share this information with people to HELP THEM! It’s going to take years, maybe lifetimes off their learning curve. I truly applaud those that are out there helping people. It is my opinion that this information takes it to the next level. I want to put it in more hands, open eyes and increase smiles! The level of detail in this material is next level….truly, and I sincerely hope that we can connect to help each other help more people! Smiles are contagious 🙂 Love is the answer, I even show why and how! My cell is (803) 580-9399. I am online everywhere 🙂 Pretty easy to find…
