Greg Jelas spent more than 50 years in the concrete industry, doing hard physical work – a trade he learned from his father, and that he found fairly easy.
However, he says if anyone asked if he loved his job, the answer would have been ‘not really’.
That changed the day he decided to turn his passion for personal development, and the work of Bob Proctor in particular, into a business.
Growing up on the Coast, Greg had no interest in formal education and was taught by his Croatian family that hard work was the key to success.
He says he always knew that everyone has potential, regardless of education.
“At the age of 39 I had a family, my own home, was comfortably off and everything was great,” he says “But everything changed when I was introduced to the field of personal development by a visiting mind powers expert, John Kehoe.”
Greg had never been interested in reading, but after Kehoe’s seminar, bookshops became his second home. He has since spent 30 years devouring all the knowledge he could about personal development and, 20 years ago, in Australia, came across Bob Proctor’s programme.
“This took me to a whole new level,” Greg says. “The number one thing he taught me was who I am. Not many people know who they truly are, but that knowledge and the power of the mind unlocks everything – personally and professionally.”
Greg went on to do Proctor’s course and recently set up his own consulting business to share this personal development programme.
He says every client will come to him for a different reason – maybe they are ‘stuck’ in some way, want to grow or are looking to improve their lives.
“Changing how you think gets real results,” Greg says. “This is the most satisfying work I’ve ever done because it can change lives.”
