How to Seize the Day: A Practical Guide ...

Dr. Keri & Kelly – Personal Growth Essentials
About this episode

“I think everybody has limitless potential to create whatever they want”.  That’s the core idea that coach and best-selling author, Scott Allan lives by. Scott's made it his mission to "help people create the life they want to own".  How does he do that exactly? With the extraordinary series of self-help books he's written, and by sharing his life story.

In the late 90’s, Scott was working as an electrical engineer on the west coast of Canada when he decided to turn everything upside down. “I've got to do something with this life”, he decided, “I didn't come this far just to come this far”. That’s when everything changed.

In this episode, Scott delves into how he shifted toward the life he wanted to live and not the default that he had started to settle into. "A lot of what holds people back is lack of clarity. You have to get clear on what you want, and eventually you will get it”, he tells us.
Now, with a remarkable 35 self-help books under his belt, Scott's goal is to empower everyone to take just one step and see where the unexpected, the unplanned, and the uncharted may lead.

About Scott Allan
With his books published in 16 languages and over 500,000 copies sold worldwide, Scott Allan is on a mission to transform human potential.
Scott is the bestselling author of self-help books such as Fail Big, Relaunch Your Life, and Do the Hard Things First. As a former corporate business trainer and transformational success strategist in Japan, he has invested over 10,000 hours in Self-development to practice and research the areas of confidence development and mindset mastery training.

With an unrelenting passion for teaching, building critical life skills, and inspiring people for personal growth around the world to take charge of their lives, he is committed to a path of constant and never-ending self-improvement.
