FALLOUT

Ok, so I knew there was potentially an unhappy person with me. What's new with that. But my hunting caused a few problems that may just of stayed lying where the sleeping dog should be left.

We had run the exercise a second time to build the team as close to twenty as possible so I could work with a core of like minded people who could work together creating ideas that would take us forward. But between emails with Jorge someone contacted StarNow with a poison pen letter. Brett's add was retracted and he was banned from the site. Brett emailed but with no response so it must have been a hatchet job. The words 'GOOD LUCK!' came to mind, as 'no you won't have any' echoed in my mind.

Now, my relationship with StarNow goes back a ways, so I placed a couple of adds for more crew as we would be starting to film soon. I placed another add with a direct approach as the recent events forced me to change the terms of my own disclosure rules:


ONE HUNDRED ONE YEAR ONE MILLION
Individuals interested in success and entreprenialism required 

The project

In times of economic gloom, unemployment, and recession, our goal is to see if one person with no more than £100 can make £1,000,000 in one year  under strict rules i.e. nothing illegal, using no previous business contacts, only using their own ability to influence, motivate and inspire. The project is a reality documentary to provide:
1. An example of endeavour in a society that does sometimes does give the appearance of limited opportunity and  penchant towards scepticism and fear, 
2.To motivate anyone whatever their background or education, with a true desire for success to achieve anything they want, whatever the odds, and hurdles.

Yes, we know this is an incredibly tall order, however we have already begun the project by selecting one individual, with a background in business and personal development to start the ball rolling, who has completed the first stage successfully, all be it already facing surprising amounts of both positive and negative attitude towards the project especially within the rules of disclosure we initially set. 

We are now looking for individuals with a genuine interest in what the project goals are, people who are ambitious and would like to find success, but also would help other people achieve too by working in a team if required. People who are not focused primarily on 'what's in it for me', but can either support those involved taking the challenge at live events or potentially follow in the footsteps of those who are.


We are currently looking for camera operators around the UK to work on a  reality documentary based around entrepreneurialism and success.

This is a fly on the wall project requiring ad hoc filming of individuals and events. You will need your own digital camera equipment of good quality resolution. The project would suit individuals anywhere in the UK who are interested in the goals of the project and would like to participate on a profit share basis.


Presenters/Interviewers  Required

We are looking for presentable articulate individuals to work on a reality documentary project on entrepreneurialism and success.  You will be interviewing individuals and working at live events. A genuine interest in the subject would be an advantage as well as a motivational and engaging manner. Your primary goal would be to elicit from individuals more probing information than the average 'hello, how are you?' so a strong enquiring personality with a nose for getting to the crux of the matter is essential.

Whilst your level of experience is not important, you will require excellent written and verbal skills with journalistic qualities, as you may be required to blog you experiences, and host events.


Directors Required

We are looking for talented directors looking to make engaging TV for a reality documentary at live events. Great organisational and leadership skills are essential as a well as a nose for what and who will make engaging  footage. The project  is on success and entrepreneurialism mainly covering interviews with participants and live events, working with presenters. Your level of experience is not relevant, more a personality with strength who can take a key independent role working off their own back pushing the project forward as well as orchestrating events.


The Crew adds were posted but the Million add was rejected. Obviously something was wrong. However, with a couple of emails they recounted and decided to run the advert so a big thank you to them.

You see the underlying principle of this whole project is that it is ground breaking for some and ball breaking sometimes for me. But as I said, I knew this wasn't going to be easy and people will or won't like my thinking. But think on this. My thoughts are there with one purpose and that is to achieve the goal I set out using only £100 and what's in my head to get there. Now I'm not being big headed, I'm just having a go in hard times, as well as help out a few like minded souls with some guidance and insight into business and personal development.

Worst case scenario, I help someone to overcome their limiting belief patterns and reach their
goals. Best case the whole thing works out, the million gets made, the documentary gets made, the blog gets published (which will be a first for me) and a lot of people have a lot of fun, learn what's got inside my head over the last 30 years (for whatever that's worth, but a few people have paid for it on occasion in my coaching, so its got to be worth something I suppose) and put it to good use to make their financial, personal, and career lives a resounding success.

If you haven't got much on right now I could do with your help.
