Meet Doug Vermeeren Creator and Producer of The Opus
My name is Douglas Vermeeren. I am the creator and producer of The Opus. Over the past ten years, I have interviewed more than 400 of the world's top achievers. Because of what I have learned, I have come to be known around the world as "the achievement expert." I now travel the globe speaking to audiences with the goal of helping people to turn their amazing potential into awesome performance.
I wasn't always this sure of my success or the achievement formula. My journey towards achievement began when I was eight or nine. I was a cub scout. One night we had a special guest come to speak to our troop. This man had traveled the world. He showed us pictures of the pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the ruins of Chichen Itza and more. We all became immediately excited. As he showed us the pictures, he encouraged us to think bigger than we ever thought before. He told us we could do anything. Then he passed around papers and a pencil to every boy present. He instructed us to number our pages one to one hundred. He then told us to write on the page next to each number something amazing we would do in our life. I finished my list about a week later with one hundred and seventeen items. i was excited about my list. The things I had written were important to me. I felt they were truly amazing things and I wanted to accomplish each of them with all my heart. But it wasn't long until I realized that I had a problem. I didn't know what to do next.
Perhaps you have encountered the same problem. You have set a goal. You know what you want with clarity. But what is the next step? What can you do?
My goal with this project is to answer that question. What next?
I have invited several of the world's greatest teachers and top achievers to help me answer this question. Join us as we unfold the formula to unlocking your amazing possibilities and teach you how to create your own personal Opus.

The Opus
From Vision to Plan to Performance.
Giving something back, helping others, sharing knowledgeand experience; leaving a legacy; this is the truly
meaningful place from which we begin the process of
manifesting the work, the dream. It is this motivation that moves
mountains, creates masterpieces and pens an OPUS.
34-year old entrepreneur, speaker and best-selling author
Doug Vermeeren has just finished filming his OPUS. Ask him
about it and he passionately shares that keys like VISION, PLAN
and PERFORMANCE only take a person so far; that people often
work hard but do not take correct action. He adds that the real
value in achievement comes from leaving something behind.
Vermeeren says, "If we've been able to inspire people to
take their lives to the next level, to enable them to accomplish
the things they want to do, and to be contributors to the world,
then we've been successful with The OPUS. Also, if we can
inspire individuals to create a legacy of their own, something
their families can have in the future, that's fantastic."
The OPUS filming wrapped the end of January in Calgary, at
historic Heritage Park. Temperatures were chilly but filming went
off without a hitch and sources say "it is absolutely beautiful". No
surprise, given the dedicated team of professionals who came
together as a family in the spirit of the project. Many of The
OPUS' technical staff are seasoned film folk with award-winning
productions like "Brokeback Mountain" to their credit.
As Vermeeren says, "It's been amazing to see how everyone
has grabbed on to the idea and made it their own. The OPUS has
become an inspiration piece and the cooperation we've received
in the production just proves that when you give people an
opportunity to take the correct action, they can't resist going
forward. I can't say, thank you, enough times to the actors, crew
and staff at Heritage Park for helping make The OPUS a reality."
Often referred to as the achievement expert, Doug has
interviewed over 400 of the world's top achievers in a quest
to discover why some people are so successful. His list of
interviewees includes top business leaders, celebrities, financial
wizards and ordinary people who have enjoyed successful,
fulfilling lives. Some of these people appear in The OPUS, along
with such inspiring speakers as Jack Canfield, and Mark Victor
Hansen, creators of the publishing phenomenon, "Chicken Soup
for the Soul" series. Doug has gathered some of "The Secret"
alumni for The OPUS, so look forward to further insights from Dr.
Joe Vitale, Marci Shimoff, John Demartini, Bob Dole and Morris
the Miracle Man Goodman.

How to Attain Your Goals
By Douglas Vermeeren
Most people want to live a fulfilling and rewarding life. That's why there's no shortage of self-help materials on how to set goals and design an ideal life. However, even with the plethora of information available on how to create the life of your dreams, many people still feel dissatisfied and unable to reach key goals they've outlined for themselves. What are these people missing?The key is to know how to turn your goals into performance. A great analogy is to think in terms of creating your own life's Opus. Why an Opus? Because that's what you are capable of. Some dictionaries define an Opus as the most brilliant composition a music composer creates in a lifetime. You are your own instrument and you create your personal symphony by what you do in your life. Realize that you have unlimited potential and that anything is possible. Your personal symphony can be grand. It can be colorful. It can be inspiring. You can choose it to be anything you like. Therefore, your personal Opus is really about taking your life and creating the most incredible and awesome legacy that is within you-that's how your goals become reality.
So how exactly do you create an Opus or long-lasting legacy? While many people may believe that creating an Opus is about reaching big and monumental milestones and goals, it's really nothing more than a combination of small and great achievements along the way. When you consistently do little things that advance you toward your goals, you are working from an achievement process and are creating your own personal Opus.
Unfortunately, after outlining what they want in life, people often feel stuck. They know what they want to achieve, but they lack the insight on what to do next-on how to create real performance. The following steps will help you past this stumbling block.
1. Start with a vision of where you want to go: Your vision of your goal needs to be clear and precise. You also need to understand why you want it. Why is this goal important to you? These motivating factors in terms of the value you attach to your goals will help you in your pursuit of them. Part of this vision is to make a definite and committed decision that you're ultimately going to achieve what you've outlined for yourself. You must believe that your goals are not just whimsical dreams-they're determined decisions that you're going to contribute your efforts toward to ultimately create your Opus.
2. Have a belief in yourself that you can really do it: If you don't truly believe you can achieve your goals, you'll prove yourself right-you won't achieve them. That's why your belief in your ability to achieve your goals has to resonate throughout the entire goal achievement process. Never let go of your belief in your ability to create an Opus. Stay committed and always know that you are on your way there.
3. Build a solid plan: Your goal achievement plan begins with surrounding yourself with people who have been where you want to go or who are currently going there right now. These people could be mentors or coaches, or just people you feel comfortable asking questions of. As you talk with these people and get their insights, remember that this is your personal journey. There are things that your mentors, coaches or other people may have experienced that will not be important or applicable to you. Therefore, you need to personalize the information they give you and analyze the answers to see how they fit into what you're doing. You don't want to simply repeat what they've done; you want to create your own unique Opus.
4. Take notice of everything: As you start with small steps, your probability of success will increase. All of sudden, steps will appear that you'll have to accomplish, work will come in that you'll have to complete, and actions will become evident that you'll have to take. You'll feel as if you're being "pointed" toward the path of goal attainment. As you go through the tasks and steps, you'll be able to see if your actions are successfully contributing toward your goals or if they need to be fine tuned. For example, sometimes you'll take an action, and by doing so you'll better understand something you need to know to complete the process, although the action itself didn't contribute to your goals in the originally planned way. That's OK. Everything is important as long as you learn from it. Sometimes a part of your plan is just learning what the next best steps are.
5. Take the correct actions that will yield the best results: Many people say that the final step to achieving any goal is to simply take action and do it. In reality, you need performance, not action, to create a real Opus. Many people today think they're taking action but they're not really getting anywhere. For example, you may know a business person who is always on the phone or at the office working hard, yet the person never advances. He or she is taking action, but it's not the right action-the action isn't contributing to the person's overall goals. Real performance is calculated action to a particular end. That's why the last step is to take the correct actions that will get you to that final destination in the most effective way. This doesn't always mean the quickest way, because sometimes taking the longer route will give you a bigger payoff at the end. And that's what creating your Opus is all about-the biggest payoff for yourself and others.
A Symphony of One : Remember, your Opus is not just what you do; it will be the legacy of what you become. That's why a substantial part of creating your Opus is to focus on the legacy you're leaving, not just individual goal achievements. You also need to focus on your contributions-what you give back to society, to your family, or to the people around you. Why is this important? Because your legacy and your success are your marks on the world, and your Opus will be filled with contributions of whom you became.
The next time you think of a goal for yourself, think beyond the actual event or task. Remember that any goal is really just a small step along the way toward your life's Opus. Having this mindset from the beginning makes it possible for you to attain bigger and better things, and to create an Opus the world will want to know about.

Procratination will get you no where...
Mistakes are fine; make them only once, and learn from them. If you never try, you have already lost the most important aspect of life; your dreams. You will most likely lose your soul as well. Others are more concerned with what you think of them. Practice makes perfect; plan to be sucky at first, then you can expand from there.
When you are lying on your death bed, you will not be concerned with how many mistakes you made...you will only regret the opportunities that you missed and the moments you wished you had.

Top Ten Personal Development Programs
Finding Your Life's Purpose
True happiness lies in knowing who you really are. But first, you must realize who you are not!
You are not the thoughts you think. You do not think; thinking happens automatically, like breathing. Who you are goes much deeper than that...
Depression - happens when you become identified with your sad story of who you think you are.
When you become aware, that is your conscious; your presence.
Become aware of your identification with thoughts. "Thoughts are only thoughts, not who you are".
We are the species that has lost its way". We have lost ourselves in thought; in the mind.
The human mind is hooked on "me and my story". Realize this is just a story you told yourself about yourself. And that's all it is! It has no power over you.
Realize there is a voice in the head that never stops thinking...
Then you realize what the voice is saying, especially negative thoughts.
This addiction to being these thoughts in your head is at the root of humanities problems.
All of these programs are designed to erase those negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts instead...
It is our thoughts which create our emotions and beliefs, which is why you want to be on the right frequency in order for you to attract whatever it is you desire.
Create love, wealth, happiness, and success for yourself and others...
From vision, to plan, to performance!

I thought the Opus was a great movie. All the teachers were inspiring and powerful. I am more sure of an actually plan for getting to my goals now. Thanks to Douglas Vermeeren for putting it together and getting such great teachers. I must admit I had never heard of Vermeeren before, but I was very pleasantly surprised and I certainly hope we see a lot more from him in the future.

Great movie. Loved it. But BEWARE if you are expecting the secret it is very different. Both were great. But just remember that they are different.
Personally I found the Opus more practical and inspiring.
