BRICKS

Even a common brick aspires to be more than it is, it wants to be something, in its DNA it wants to be put with other bricks to make something more than it can be on  its own. It is a fundamental of all things to be more than they are, and whilst a brick can't actually think, its shape will lend itself to the creation of a higher purpose simply because even a brick will at some point be picked up and put with other bricks only because the brick exists to be put with other bricks, and made into a structure that at the ultimate level of a bricks existence creates something that inspires the human spirit to be elevated to a higher plane.

This is the purpose of a brick..to be a brick.

GLADIATORS OF OUR DAY

Whilst the success game was initially a program to give anyone the facility to learn to achieve skills that would otherwise be blissfully un aware of, over the last few weeks the focus is strongly moving towards an out and out competition between people who have the ambition to make something of their lives.

This takes us into literally a whole new arena of personal development, akin to the gladiatorial games of Roman times. The focus was to turn the 95% of people who can't see opportunity into people who could finally take action, however it gets to a point where you have to concede it is ultimately very difficult to get the majority of people to behave in a success based manner.

Therefore the move is towards making this an elitist game, for those who really do have some degree of backbone. As you may appreciate over the last few weeks my tone has changed away from the personal development side of my nature to out and out success based. This takes a change of focus of the mind to stop helping people who suck the energy out form your soul like black holes of of our earthly world, to just demanding success. Now I'm only interested in peolpe who actually take themselves seriously rather than dwelling on all the reasons that support working to the lowest common denominator that draggs our society right round the U bend.

I've never suffered fools gladly, yet recently I've found myself rubbing shoulders with people who couldn't inspire a baked bean, all be it a baked bean isn't that easy to communicate with, which is probably  why I find so many people one off a baked bean in their mentality.

My personal successes have really been team efforts with some amazing people who whilst their educational background were no the best, their will, desire and dedication were unquestionable.

So we move into a period of dedication to find and challenge assertive people to play a gladitorial game, with weapons of the mind rather than the sword. Just as lethal, just as powerful , with high potential returns for playing .

To be honest it sounds like a lot more fun because I can simply challenge people to play and if they don't have the self belief or guts to back their own cause then they really have to look long and hard at their own future

HARD CHOICES ...

Choices

We are all faced with choices throughout our lives, the choice to sit on your arse or get on with making a success of your life. It's all too easy to blame other people for your lack of success or not having the right opportunity to take advantage of. But to be brutally honest you are kidding yourself and mores the pity living in a world of your own.

When I started this project I had in mind the desire to make a documentary on success...which we've now done a fair bit of filming on. However the overwhelming talent I've met in London so far is firmly based at succeeding in failure. I said from the first only a small proportion of people actually achieve, generously under five percent, and the purpose of this program was to turn the tables so 95% would be successful, but as of the moment I will concede the level of willingness of people to take every choice possible to do absolutely nothing to change their futures is overwhelming. 

Unfortunately you do have to do something to get somewhere, and just desiring to stick your face in front of a camera to boost your ego is a little self indulgent especially when other people have to suffer you. Any project is only as good as the people involved, people with determination and focus, not 'I'll drag along and see what happens but I will do absolutely nothing to help but moan that it wasn't this or that'. Get real, have a look in the mirror, slap yourself around the face, stick your head down the toilet and flush it, and start to take some action that remotely represents success based thought patterns rather than sucking up oxygen that could serve a better purpose filling a bottle of sparkling water.

So far there are only a handful of people I would inflict on the viewing public, for whilst everyone has potential, and I see so much in them all, their consistent ability to drain the energy out of their own lives as well as others deserves a gold medal.

The Success Game is a fickle mistress, but to enter a project based on working in teams trying to create a million and then sitting at home rather than participating is your choice  but it doesn't really make the gaol any easier.

When I first advertised this as Crash Test Dummies I proposed to the applicants they would indeed crash out, but what I didn't realise was the applicants were actually dummies. Now that may seem a little harsh, but being nice doesn't cut it. The program we have developed takes people forward towards success by using their brains to achieve, but so many people find every reason possible to do absolutely nothing ...so you deserve to be poor, you deserve to be unhappy, you deserve to be a slave in society, and you deserve to be depressed. 

The project over this year will be a success simply because it proves my original statement that 95% of people can't see opportunity, and 95% of the 5 % can't take the action necessary to achieve.

Hopefully some more people out there actually have the balls to prove me wrong...but don't blame me if you really can't be bothered. The field of London doesn't seem to hold many ambitious people so it's time to move the project out of town.

On a brighter note my two most valued confederates have put together a great project to take forward on entrepreneurialism, as a reality show bridging the gap between Towie and the Apprentice. It's a great idea and one that will be moving forward directly.

FIND THE NEGATIVE 1%

Speaking to a background analyst for a couple of famous TV shows on entrepreneurial ideas, I had the opportunity to run the Success Game past him to see what he thought of the project and any potential pitfalls or additions to my thinking.

He sat listening both politely and intently, only asking two clarifying questions on market and sales route. Both of which were covered within the program. His only comment was 'what can I bring to the table to help the project?'

When you strategise a business proposition you need to be able to look into the future and envisage the possibilities so you can adjust your approach to cover the problems before they ever happen. This is another skill of the the success based mind.  It's not about taking risks, although to most the way you behave can seem completely open to the wind, but nothing can be further from the truth. 

Every detail is looked at from all sides with the rough edges rounded off long before the main event is publicised. Test marketing adds to this process as it provides comment and direct live feed back on theory, however experienec and gut feeling are vitally important. Arrogance howver can open you up to failure purely because while you may be very good at what you do, arrogance can deceive your pure analytical stance to be replaced with ego and emotion.. Two threats to success. This is not to be confused with passion for a project, but when you start on your enterprise you have to remain dispationate and give up the desire to be right for its own sake.... Success is never based on the desire to be right, more the invitation to be proved wrong.

This is currently where the success game is.. I just want to be proved wrong, out manoeuvred and out thought, if that happens it means I've found the most important aspect of my search. I'm looking for the 1% that will kill the project not the 99% that will make it. It's always the 1% that kills you, therefore if I can find the elusive negative, I can make changes to take the problem out.

STRATEGIES AND GOALS

The choice  of routes for success are firstly get yourself a professional career so you can spend your life hoarding in a good salary or good fees. However if your academic skills are a little  suspect then you might be thinking of running your own business, or lastly you might spend your life in a career which rewards you well for effort.

None of the above will make you rich but with a little angular thinking you can turn the average life for many into a highly profitable life for you. The singular route to success is your ability to see angles and focus on what success means to you, when you create and visualise a  goal it's very strange how the path to your desire will manifest itself, but then again the route is rarely quite the perfect one you wanted..but none the less it's a route.

Disappointment is one of life's great challenges...how to face and deal with your own expectations when they  end up unfulfilled or let down in some way by others. Managing expectations is a skill you will need to retain to maintain balance in your own life as well as those you try to remain in harmony with.

Regret at situations you feel you didn't take the opportunity in the past or why you didn't focus is pointless, you are what you are for a reason, all you need to do know is to take the right action and make the right choices for your future.

As I have mentioned the face in the mirror is the true judge of all your decisions to date, you see the sum of your wealth and success there. If you want more from life, what is your strategy for success in place for you right now to get your desires. What's your B plan if the first fails... if that is you have a plan to start with. Wouldn't it be a good idea to formulate a plan? To practice the skills? To master your future.

Talking with a few young people yesterday, I asked each individual what they wanted...they said a relationship , a house, a business in Brazil. The relationship actually meant security, the house actually meant someone to share it with, and the business was an idea with no foundation or skills to make it happen.

Why the success game was interesting to them was simply it provided a mechanism to initially practice and learn about success as well as give them the ladder to financial freedom. They recognised there were no levels of failure just steps to take to find their own goals.

NEITHER FRIEND NOR FOE

The Internet is neither my friend nor my foe, but it is the means to influence the masses for good or bad. The Internet is an open resource of information as well as disinformation, giving people without responsibility the power to destroy without fear of retribution. Hiding behind a pseudonym and throwing out unsubstantiated derogatory comment is now the facility of the masses, which makes the Internet a place where people can ruin lives and reputations at will.

Bad news has always had the facility to travel ten times as fast as good news, so once someone decides to make comments on the Internet about you, unfortunately those are the ones people take notice of. No smoke without fire. This is a massive tool to be used for adverse ends by those who have more sinister motives as well as those who have idle jealous hands.

Over the years I've had a number of smear campaigns launched against me throwing as much dirt my way as possible. One time I was producing a film using college students with cameras on a profit share basis. Unfortunately I can't employ everyone but I know the value of experience early on in your career so I would and always have tried to help people where I could. Some individuals took exception to this, feeling I was taking advantage of young people. It's my time and their choice but now people have the habit of crying wolf because they can ...woof woof.

The next was a huge campaing on a government grant situation for businesses. We placed fifty people in jobs around West London but yet again the idiots who work on sites and forums as moderators ran a complete discussion on the project without any reasonable understanding of the subject. The trouble with throwing mud is it ends up as mud which sticks rightly or wrongly. 

Getting things taken down from the Internet is virtually impossible, so whatever gets posted gets hosted, mainly by people who are not the brightest tools in the box, and unfortunately if you're ignorant it's very difficult to admit to yourself you are. Becoming a moderator on a site means you haven't got a life, you need a voice to give yourself importance. I remember writing to one and getting the comment "I don't care, you deserve it because your in business." not exactly impartial thoughts.

The last time was over a late change of venue of all things, well that's got to be bad hasn't it. But yet again people want to think there's something odd going on...it's called running a business which actually isn't wrong, but the acquisition of money is to some always is a dubious pursuit.

Just recently one of the presenters from the BBC's flagship investigative program was jailed for £25k benefit fraud claimed while he was making the series lifting the lid on shady practices. The world is becoming a very strange place where the lines of brick throwing into glass houses are becoming very fuzzy indeed.

MODERN SLAVERY

Freedom is one of the underlying principles you will undoubtedly hear me chirp on about from time to time...in fact it's a constant theme running through everything I do.

The concept of freedom is the ability to make your own choices. Most people think they have freedom within the democracy we live, but that is simply a delusion. If  for a moment we trundle back to Roman times whenever that actually was, I'm reliably informed that slavery was a common practice. There were those who owned the businesses and the slaves who carried out the daily tasks of work. So here we have a division in society where some people take care of others by paying for all their heating, food, house etc etc. Slaves got maybe a day off and sometimes even a holiday in the year, but on the whole were well looked after.

At some point in history when slavery got a bad name, and slaves wanted to be free, some bright spark came up with the idea of rather than having to pay for all of the slaves living necessities, it would be a better idea to delegate to the slaves the job of administering their own payments. So they gave them a wage. Just enough to pay for everything but never enough to get out of the work situation. They still did the same job, still worked the same hours and got a day off once a week as well as a holiday once year, but now as they thought themselves free they were much happier until the responsibility of running their own lives became apparent. 

Responsibility and making decisions were never liked by salves but they had to have the illusion they could make their own choices even though very few were actually given to them. They were encouraged into a life of domestic subservience by getting married producing more slaves and providing for them. Every bit of spare cash on the other hand would have be mopped up by the state to make sure they never really  got anywhere, spending their lives on the grindstone looking forward to days off given by their owners.. sorry employers as well as yearly holidays granted, followed a short retirement before a bit of an eternal rest. Just maybe if you are a good slave you might get a good afterlife for working so hard in this one to keep the system going.

Just a theory...but what's the difference between slavery and democracy..the facility to vote for someone who will always keep things the same, but tell you change is on the way....

GETTING OFF YOUR ARSE

So the end of another interesting week. So far we have potentially three individuals for the filming. What I'm looking fo are modern day hero's, this does not mean Captain America or Iron Man, but real people who have had their challenges but stand up and take life's little blows on the chin to move forward. These are the true success, and it seems fitting that those ready to take on a challenge are dyslexic, and those all too eager to sit this one out are not.

Now social stereo types are relevant here and writing generally all I want is someone to come forward and disprove what I'm going to say. Dyslexics are achievers because life isn't handed on a plate to them, they have to work far harder at everything to get ahead than a 'normal' person, which has the effect of creating  someone who is a trier and someone who just wants to take it all for granted and if it's not on a plate they can't be bothered.

None the less each day brings a new challenge, and with this project there are multiple levels of success. Firstly as a business, then as a film, and as a book, but finally as an adventure. Simply trying to make a statement and effect change in the society we live  is a great deal more than the average bod who sits on the side lines of life moaning about how things are but never actually doing the slightest little thing to change anything at all. Are you one of those people or do you have the guts to step up to the mark. And if your reading this thinking well this project isn't quite my cup of tea, get off your arse.. look in the mirror and create your own. Just do something that is constructive at least.

You see 99% of people find every reason in the world to do bugger all, and what we are about is making 99% of people actually do something, make a difference if not in their own lives maybe someone else's.

What's your reason ...what's your excuse ...what's your motivation

4AM THOUGHTS

Having change the web site to a White background and developed the sales process by creating a foundation course in success as a starter dish with the 24 week course and the boot camp as the main, the lessons of the last three weeks have been learned. 

The initial pay per click campaign drove traffic to the site, with 50 plus hits for a £1 each over three days, on the main search term, but the call to action was not strong enough. So with this in mind the three levels of entry came in.

One...the choice of buying a book with a seminar/workshop for three hours for £30 or doing the 21 day foundation course for £100. It still remains to be seen if this is effective however the book price may have to drop to £20 without the seminar to accommodate the international Market. The trials will be on the USA as well as the UK based on the level of attitude an desire for success Americans have over the British.

To be completely blunt I'm having a hard job finding people without huge limiting behavioural patterns. Once you start to get into people it's a consistent range of issues relating to confidence, ego, rejection and formative influences holding people back, leading me to sometimes find it rather sad to see so much of the society we live in is to all intents and purposes lost at sea when it comes to stepping outside their comfort zones. 

However on a brighter note it is my belief all people can be glass running over types as much as the empty ones, and maybe they just need to find a little faith. Faith is not naivety, faith is a rare ability to believe in the unseen when society trains us only to believe what we see or things the powers that be determine are proven. For the creative mind faith is as natural as air, although negative conditioning still steps in to place doubt and question to ones belief. You see to be creative you must take a notion, formulate an idea, visualise in your mind and then materialise your thoughts into reality . It is a leap of faith. 

All people have the ability to be creative, is just the barriers in the conscious mind which hold us back. Working with hypnosis, people who said no I can't draw or write could in a light trance suddenly access their creative subconscious and draw or write poetry and become musical. Once out of the trance their conscious minds would replace the barriers immediately. This is an incredibly sad state of affairs. People are conditioned from birth away from their birth right. It's even sadder that 100 years ago people were writing about the coming years with great optimism and enthusiasm over this same subject, how through developing the mind we could  potentially see huge advances in humanity. Alas 100 years has not exactly had the desired effect on the individuals mind ...just the technology.

When I discuss the path through Mozart for my own personal journey to accessing this power, so far only one person in six months has asked me how they could too. Is this because despite the evidence no one really cares what they do with the old grey matter, or are they scared of it. Maybe I just live in a completely different mental state whereby I find the constant development of my mind to  work through the creative subconscious the most natural and obvious skill to develop, one that should surely  be taught at school. But there are no lessons on success, no lessons on key life skills, relationships or the subconscious creative mind, just the development of the conscious  mind to either succeed or fail in a society confined with a very narrow mainstream approach to it's citizens based on the conventions of established education rather than life itself.

TISSUES, EGGS & SPOONS

Success is relative, but nothing to do with your relatives. Winding our way right back to the beginning, we all beat our closest relatives to the finishing post, and yes it was a sprint in the egg race but without a spoon.  Starting out as an olympic gold medalist in the spermolimpics, we all actually are a resounding success right from the start in simply getting here. It's a shame many people don't value the moment, don't value the achievement over the millions of failed little swimmers that didn't make the big event. So if ever you think you are not a success in this life, then think again. Better where you are now than on a tissue by the side of the bed. 

The game of life, that's exactly what it is, but many people turn it into more of a serious war zone of dog eat dog, rather than a race of equals. I suppose the majority haven't quite got over their early swimming days yet and still think their competing against their fellow racers ..maybe that's why we call it the human race, and why we are still in the egg and spoon race together all be it in a metaphorical sense. 

Only once we learn to evolve from tadpoles will we really evolve as a society and maybe then we can call ourselves the Human casual walk out for a stroll together enjoying life while we are here.

CLIMBING EVEREST

The Success game applies to us all, it's a game we never stop playing and ultimately our levels of success will be determined by the actions we take and the things we say.

Actions speak louder than words in business, and this means taking an active role in making a difference, generating income or creating ideas to develop new ways to achieve. Sitting on the side lines is never going to pay off other than a spectators view, I'm afraid you have to step up to the plate and get down and dirty to find success. The ability to do this is the ultimate key to making money or finding the true rewards in any of your endeavours.

I like my old Everest analogies, and this is as good place to stick another in. Success is like Everest, you start to climb a mountain that at first sight is a daunting challenge, but with every step you take ..you get further to your goal. Unfortunately on the climb you can't take a weekend off to Paris or a lazy week on the beach, you just have to keep going whatever the weather or who ever falls away form the climb, you have to keep going with no certainty of success other than the focus of your own mind.

If making a million in a year was an easy ask, everyone would be doing it, if it was easy in six months I suppose it would be just the same. But I've dropped the time scale down to 21 days to give the players a dry but real run at the program before they have a bite at the main course.

Each person I meet has a different understanding of success, ultimately  it is their own personal desire. With this in mind we have developed the game into sections tailor made to certain groups who have ambition. Obviously people like entrepreneurs and start up business have the desire for success, but this is not only the province of the young. The over 40's and 50's are just as hungry in their hearts for achievement, but within a society which celebrates the naivety  of youth, sometimes the grey and the white can seem a little over looked when it comes to lighting the fire of ambition. This is something I'd like to put straight, so we have created a unique platform to provide game divisions for differing groups such as the over 50's, the entrepreneurs, the actors, the start ups and so on.

In this way people can work with like minds as well as experiencing new minds to work with. The new practice 21 week foundation requires the player to experience rising through the ranks of a company over three seven day periods.

First you join as a salesperson for seven days, then you go into middle management for seven days, and finally into the senior role. It's a very simple format with the real money side of the full game, just on the first section you try to find a new player each day. If you do that and you motivate and lead your team to do the same the maths works out just like the full six months game. 

During this period players get a condensed course of 21 audio sessions to inspire them to achieve great things as well as the skills needed to succeed. But as the Success Game has no levels of failure and it is for the players to develop their own ways to earn and learn following the basic format, as with the full version... there is only levels of success and a path to a very lucrative business if they wish to develop their skills.

GOOD BUSINESS BAD COMPANY NEXT CHAPTER

So we progress with the treatment to the next stage of casting five individuals. I have it in mind to run a parallel project with female actors (used to be called actresses which I personally preferred or is that discriminatory talk on my part again, naughty naughty).

Hi 

Thank you for coming to meet Kern. We would like to move the project forward ASAP therefore we would like to arrange a group meeting for tuesday at 10.30am. This will be a chance for you to get to know each other and confirm you will be moving forward as a group by the end of the meeting (please keep the day open)

Whilst this is a TV treatment, it is also a very real venture. You will as a group be given an enterprise to run for 21 days. Financially you will receive 70% of the income paid to you on a daily basis for you to develop the enterprise, your look and your lifestyle to be congruent with your characters. You will be trained and coached in all aspects of business and personal success, as well as a blueprint to target one million. 

There are a number of layers to the project, one of which is to create a structure where actors can earn and practice their craft, as well as writing, and directing.  

Roles are as follows

Front ..Chuku.. the charismatic rugby centre  with charm
Thinker ... Hugo.. strategically minded,  looking for angles,  focused
Solver.... Carl .. Engineering teacher recruiter, dedicated 
Conscious  ...Guy..  writer, philosopher, resolved 
Fixer ...Michael ...down to earth, hands on, capable, can do

The project requires commitment to yourself and your fellow crew, as well as the ability to take on your character and play the role of success immediately. As Chuku said to Kern... when he plays centre he is totally confident, he will win ..of this there is no doubt, the opposition can see success in his eyes, the way he stands and projects himself. Victory is assured before the game begins.

If you feel you cannot for fill the role and take up the challenge at this point in the proceedings, please let me know directly so we can re cast. 

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

 
Kind regards

MUSHROOMS WANTING TO BE TOADSTOOLS

Some people might think my thoughts on Zombies are slightly critical, but if you take the time to read FatMan Two, you'll get the full fat version of my critique. 

One question which springs back to mind is why find fault with a system that on the surface seems to give everybody a passable life..at the expense of what could be. An this is the answer..'what could be'. It will take a radical change in the mentality of humanity to seriously step forward on the evolutionary ladder, but the strange thing is, the universal step is one thought away, and always has been.

What's the point of change, well simply how many people do you know who are really happy and contented in their lives? How many people are over weight, stressed, over worked, and money troubled?How many people go thorough life with no purpose and then have a day of reckoning  where they wonder what's the point?

People put up with things as they look for distraction to get them through the empty days. Without believing  in anything greater than yourself, you have nothing to aspire to, which means you either want more material worth or settle for less.

To get more out of life you do have  to give more, and that means to everyone, including your relatives, your neigh bough, the man in the street, everyone, and this also means you. The design of this program still maintains a universal appeal, as I seek never to alienate any section of the community. It's odd that we all see ourselves in groups, which ultimately undermines our power as a unified race. It's good to celebrate the differences in each other, but not forgetting we are all the same, we have a piece of everybody inside ourselves no matter how grotesque or beautiful others are. We are all created from the same bits and bobs, so when you stick a human through a liquidiser it's really difficult to celebrate  the glorious differences over the goo. 

Wanting more is not the province of the greedy or the disaffected, it is a unilateral feeling although many people are in denial. One of my colleagues has suggested a seminar for the over fifties who could be forgiven for thinking they are on the scrap heap of the job recruitment ladder. Fifty sounds over the hill to a twenty-five year old recruitment consultant, and maybe it is.. Wait a minute I'm fifty this year.. screw them!

Having run a recruitment agency when I was 25, I know just how limited the average recruitment individual is in their work, and nothings changed on that front so far. So if you have a few grey hairs it's sometimes a bit concerning to wonder if you are going to still get a job if you loose the one you are in. The Success Game solves this problem, because once you play you can have a business, and don't worry about experience, being fifty means you have 18,250 days on this planet, all stored up in your subconscious mind. All it takes is accessing this resource and then connecting to the group consciousness and you have a tradable asset that I certainly value, so maybe you should think along those lines too.

An if you still doubt there is a resource for you to tap into if you choose to, then just ask yourself where I'm coming up with this daily blog from. I certainly don't write with my conscious mind.. You can see when I do because I revert back to bad spelling and gramma. Yeah yeah ..what to I mean revert back .. its always there. Being dyslexic means I just can't see the errors and getting someone else to edit this every day just won't work. The creative content is where the subconscious comes in. I don't actually think about what I'm writing at all, I just start a sentence with the first word that comes to mind and go from there. It's a skill anyone can have so long as they believe they are no different to anyone else, so if someone can do it, you can do it to, your only limitations are the ones you put on yourself. 

In the world we live in people love to limit our actions, pass judgement, and control us because it simply gives them the feeling of power and more self importance. So the more you live in another mans world the more unhappy you will be come because you are ultimately not living up to your own values.. The biggest value is your happiness. And there lies the question for today.. Who exactly are you living up to or for right now? Try to really focus here, because you may tell yourself it's you.. but that's the beauty of conditioning, is sneaks up on you from day one and tells you what you need to know, just like a mushroom happily growing in the dark.

ZOMBIE SLAVES

The world is full of zombies...don't you feel this when you look around. Unfortunately, I do all the time and it's not the nicest of feelings, especially on a weekend. Why I say weekend is simply because I get to see more of them in their unnatural habitat than during the week when they are in their pens.

To recognise a zombie you just have to be near a door, a railway entrance or in a shop, in fact anywhere you will see the mindless of society having to deal with a day or two of freedom, challenged by the sudden facility to make their own decisions for the weekend. No wonder they tramp back into the slavery of a job on a Monday, unnaturally pinned together on tubes and stuck in jams... For if they weren't zombies why would they actually want to commit to doing this every day? It's because freedom is a scary place that asks them to make a choice where to put their next foot out in front without being told where to go. 

Is it any wonder that people used to go to church on a Sunday, as one Saturday out on their own in the shops and all the wages are spent on mindless un planned purchases. Thank God for the man upstairs telling us what to do, and the employer telling us what to do, and the system telling us how to behave and what to do. Without all this guidance what on earth would people get up to if they were free to make up their own minds. One day out is enough to drain the wallet and now without too much religion, the country has got itself in double the debt by going zombie shopping on a Sunday as well. Choice, or the freedom to have it for most is a very scary concept, but I like to think this project might wake a few zombies up in a while.

By moving out of the mainstream to actors we step into the minds of people who want more in life than the average person, but the majority are going to be prepared to accept so much less because very few actors make a decent living. This is as I said a brave choice, to line ones self up agains the odds, whilst your friends and relatives move on in life in stayed jobs accumulating wealth, children and bills while the actors live on dreams. 

I have an immense respect for this approach, as once upon a time I got on a plane with nothing but a thousand pounds of borrowed money to take me to LA to find my fortune in the Hollywood dream. Was my gamble a success, well as you are reading here I'm not lining up with Tom Cruise for the next Mission Impossible, but on the year long ask of Mission Implausible.

21 one days to make a million is a fact. It could work if people were a little more disposed to the idea of freedom. But this is the warm up phase to give those who seek a little more a chance to put the toe in the water and get splashed with the idea life doesn't have to be the way of the Zombie Slave.

The Success Game in London is going to be handed over to five individuals for 70% of the initial fee. I'm not so sure they comprehend the full ramifications of this opportunity, but as of Tuesday they will be of no doubt. They will be running an organisation for the first time acting the roles I have outlined. The beauty of the Success Game is the adaptability of it's nature. For example the format will give any actor the facility to develop a support group, practice their art and make money through the game rather than working in menial jobs to keep themselves going.

People want what they want in life, and that's exactly what the success game sells ...dreams, hopes and desires with the method to make them all a reality. Even with a 99% failure rate the success level is huge.

SECOND AUDITIONS

Its is sometimes strange to leave things to the power of the law of attraction, it still feels uncomfortable, like there's some conditioning in the background of my mind still playing its little program. The closest way I can think of to describe the feeling is when I couldn't swim as a child, and getting the confidence to take my feet of the floor and not drown was the uncomfortable step...or stroke. It's faith in the unknown..it's scary. But in this regard we are simply relying on fate or the universal consciousness  to provide the answers to all the questions asked, to provide the doors to success for the project. 

Over the last week I have been firmly focused on finding five lead male characters for the TV treatment. A reality show that uses actors to run a real business over twenty one days to make a million. The reason I'm using actors is simple. You only have to look at the level of contestant the Apprentice finds after all the auditions to realise with my limited budget  I have to take five individuals of rare skill to achieve the best for the project. As a one time actor I know the level of potential individuals in this industry. They have selected an alternative lifestyle based on pure self belief. Invariably well educated they have the capacity to take on a role immediately, living and breathing success. 

My second round of casting was today. The group I looked to at the first auditions are a very interesting selection of gentlemen in their own right, but what really is so weird is each of them actually possess the raw qualities of the roles I have in mind for each.

The five characters we all have in us, Front, Thinker, Solver, Fixer and Conscience, but there is always a tilt towards one or other part of the five faces. As I said strangely the group selected itself and possess the very characters I need. It is at times like these you feel a guiding hand, that rather than making one reassured, fills you with a sense of nervousness lest I'm wrong and fooling myself in seeing the patterns forming in front of me.  

This is exiting, this is a game, and I have to say clearly not of my making. The structure and form is a result of all the influences over the past few months being acted upon. Where I find myself now is I'm afraid not out of any preconceived plan, a notion yes, but the place I find myself in now is a result of messages given to me and the subconcious creative mind guiding me.

FRONT THINKER FIXER SOLVER CONSCIENCE

Right from the beginning of the year I had it in mind to create a reality documentary about making a million over the year. The trouble has always been finding people who actually wanted to. As you know I have proposed the idea to many individuals both at seminars and one to one, but with little enthusiasm from people.

 Time is one of the keys here, how quickly people want things these days is one of the most powerful movers in society. So with this in mind we looked to develop the program as a six months turn around with the full course to get them to their ultimate goal. Six Months is tool long it seems. So here we are at 21 days to make a million, and if you don't manage it in that time period, you can use the information and experience for the big game to make sure you do. So we have an entrée to get people's minds thinking and breathing success over three weeks. The program to make the money does actually stack up over 21 days, and the only fact that will make a difference is the usual aspect of any enterprise running onto the rocks..that's the people involved. 

But the way the program is constructed there is no failure, just levels of success, so at the end of 21 days you know a lot more than you started, you can influence, motivate and lead, you've got some great friends and associates, you can recognise and act on opportunity,  there's money in your pocket and your ready to go for the main dish. 

So the program hits some  ground breaking areas;
An earn and learn situation, that can lead onto a business, a career or early retirement sitting on a beach earning 20%... always my favourite.

The TV documentary is why I set up the production company to run the treatment to make it a saleable proposition to a channel. 12 months was too long, six months was onlyl a little diluted but 21 days has all the enthusiasm wrapped into a little pill. 

As my efforts to find some really motivated, interesting and keen to learn individuals in London has been to say the least difficult, I have moved full on with the reality documentary with the proposal of actors being trained to run the operation in London, which is a nut I'm definitely focused on cracking. I know it's considerably easier in the North of England as people are more open and engaging, and I am simultaneously developing regional bases as well as auditioning in London.

Yesterday saw 15 actors at the first round of auditions of which there was as always great potential in all of them. The ability to face rejection each time you perform from the heart is a skill in itself. As a veteran of too many auditions to count with no call back, I have an empathy with them, but we are here on a mission and to make a successful treatment I need talented motivated actors. Without them, the show simply won't go on.

To make good TV, we need an engaging plot...one million in 21 weeks is not bad, we need engaging characters..Front, Thinker, Fixer, Solver, Conscience, and lastly we need so great people to act it out.

There must be chemistry between the characters, so this is a first attempt to find the right mix, but as I'm now on a 21 week turnaround after  training them in business, confidence, entrepreneurialism, NLP, hypnosis, and anything else I can squeeze into their characters to make them become the roles they want to play, it's now just time to get the right people involved.

GOOD OLD FIREWORKS OF THE MIND

Using the old creative subconscious to drive this project on is like a firework that once you light it there's no going back. The more you open your mind to thought the more it comes up with ideas to drive or drag you forward...I'm not sure which one it is ...probably both.

There is obviously a considerable amount that goes on in the background of the project which never sees the light of day in this blog for obvious reasons of confidentiality, security and caring. If someone is an absolute idiot, says or does things that are destructive, then I let them pass me bye without getting irritated as once some things did...but only for a very few short moments. You see to cast the first stone you have to be without sin, and as we are all of the same source we all have shades of each other in our minds. It's not as if I haven't made mistakes in the past, and it's not as if some people might have interpreted my actions as not in their best interests from time to time.

My father once said to me when I was a child "if what you are about to do will hurt you or someone else..don't do it". ...in the real world it's a hard ask, as somehow people like to be victims on occasion as well as be right even when they cut their nose off to spite their own face. 

When it comes to pay back for all the pain and discomfort people put on each others shoulders there really is no point in entering into the equation as the man upstairs has the habit of ironing out the creases which pop up all on his own. What goes around comes around, so when people show their more undesirable traits of nature, this very nature in time will give them greater pain than you or I could ever envisage.

Business is business, and people are people so there is no point getting emotional about either subject. Whilst greed, jealousy, and ignorance tend to have a fair old cut of the cake when it comes to behaviour in this world, a bit of love and understanding goes along way.

The next stage of the project is an exiting one as it requires some very quick thinking indeed, and thankfully I don't have to do any of it. The creative subconscious does that all for me which actually suits me, for I've never enjoyed getting out of bed early or going to the type of work 99% of the work force go to. There is, and never really has been work in my life as most people would understand it..I prefer all my days to be freedom and do what you want days, for most it's hard to live this way because freedom comes with making your own mind up...which can be a hell of a responsibility.

Once you decide to live with freedom as your main criteria, the world becomes a playground, with the game of success as the main attraction.

A MILLION IN TWO WEEKS

If you doubt making a million in 21 weeks, try two weeks... That's the prize money for Roger Federer making a series of right decisions with a racket  and ball over Wimbledon. Yes, he brings with him to the game years of experience to achieve this goal, but none the less it was only the application of his expertise... seeing opportunity, creating opportunity and seizing it that made him win over Murray.

The Success Game is based on everything Roger puts into his game, except the tennis of course, and the only player you are against is yourself.

There are so many reasons not to 'DO'... In life

Fear of failure
Fear of success
Fear of being different
Fear of wasting your time
Fear of the unknown
Fear of being taken advantage of
Lack of self belief 
Lack of belief in others
Lack of focus
Lack of knowledge 
Lack of skills
No consistency 
No communication skills 
No commitment
No contacts
No money 

In fact the list is endless for reasons not to do, and then you have to face all the reasons other people tell you you won't succeed... 

Statistics
Human nature
Fear 
Jealousy 
Envy
Ignorance
Stupidity 
Doubt
Apathy
Belief
Trust
Understanding 

The list again continues if you want to look into the buckets of negative thinking in other peoples brains. This is what you are up against in the success game...and you will have to ask yourself how many people are here to help you achieve right now. 

As you will appreciate, whatever you say or do in life there is always someone who will try to find fault with who you are or what you represent. Why? Well the reasons people think things are based on their formative experiences as well as a few others I won't go into right now. But thankfully for the majority the first step towards success is so small, that many actually trip over their own feet onto it with no more design in mind than a blind donkey in the dark. Sometimes fate just picks you out and sticks you in the right place at the right time, or the wrong one.

But for the success game it's all about belief, nothing more than faith in the unseen. All the internal thought that is anything but creative must be banished, and all the silly words people think must be ignored. Just a focus in the creative subconscious to achieve the right result at the right time.

HAUNTING WORDS

At the end of an interesting week, my words of the other day come back to haunt me. The virus has left it's mark on my face as well as my ability to physically keep up with my minds desire to work non stop. As a result the nerves in my face that inflamed are still pretty irritated ...but I hasten to say not catching.

Next week I will have to take the foot from the pedal to gather my resources, so I will drop back from blogging for a few days possibly. But for the moment a summary of the week is in order.

The last two weeks have required a hard focus on developing the method of delivery to Market as well as testing the practical  application of the seven conversations of success by a range of age groups with varying levels of ability. Taking 19-21 year olds to networking events to approach people twice their age to talk about their lifestyle goals is a big ask, but none the less a necessary one to refine the marketing. Tuesday was a hard evening simply because success hung in the balance, but by the end of the evening with a little training a resounding success was the result. So that in itself proves the formula that anyone regardless of their age or experience can become a millionaire with the simplest, easiest of applications. But, as always the human race suffers the conditioning to self implode and blame everyone but themselves. The real problem has always been the success we can have in influencing people to be not so self defeating.

Alas self defeatists won the human race this week whilst the project won the necessary hard fought steps to progress. I thought the creative process had stopped at the end of June but surprise surprise when you're in the field you have to adjust to suit the market...not from a product usability point of view, but a sales process need. 

Firstly, Marketing will come through selling  books and including a success seminar in the price. Secondly the 24 week course will now be removed and replaced with a four week course in influence as it wasnt valued at all within the £100 by prospective clients, and will go back to the  price tag it had before this project in its full form. The reframe/ restructure six-month success coaching package will be again available.

This still means the game is a stand alone structure, and the initial fee of £100 to play the game is well within anyones price range with a  four week course to prepare for the first seven week section on influence.

Sitting with Rose reminiscing the origins of our meeting, it was interesting  to discuss the first crash test dummy exercise I ran way back in February to analyse success. Out of 1000 people who originally looked at the project, 100 that applied saying how committed to not crashing out and staying the course whatever they were faced with...Rose is the one in a thousand that made it through the hurdles and I have to say she has really come out of herself. So what makes her different... Commitment, consistency and contacts...she is both the former and wants to make more of the latter ...this is success and frankly no one has stayed the course like her.

If I look back at my original posts, I said right at the beginning 95% of people can't see opportunity, and 95% of those who can fail to pick it up. So if I count a couple of others whoa re still doing the coheres although not very active... My prediction was about spot on. The goal of this project was always to reverse the trend.

However it is amazing just how difficult a task this is, as people generally cannot see beyond their own limitations, so bringing the project within this circle of limited success is hard to do. Listening to Rose's insights into people she has met on the journey is always an eye opener to just how negative and destructive people are.....

HOW TO ACCESS THE CREATIVE SUBCONSCIOUS

Many times people ask me how to develop the creative subconscious mind, how to access the most powerful gift we all have.

It's undoubtedly a great natural skill and one I personally would find incredibly difficult to be without. So how do I explain connecting with the part of you, you can't see. Well there is a start to the answer. We live in a society that bombards us with visual images consistently. We live in the real world(whatever that actually is) of noise and stress as well a hell of a lot of consistent conditioning away from the creative subconscious, so firstly you will need to determine what is important to you, is it what your told by other people that conditions you to think in a certain way to their advantage, or are You more interested in YOU.

Simple question, answer sounds easy, but is it? Answer another question, how many people you know have your best interests at heart? How many would go that extra mile to help you succeed, unconditionally. Next question do you believe in God? No waffly answers ..yes or no. Do you believe you have a creative mind you can access, and what proof do you have that will convince you, you believe you can?

Once you come up with these few starting questions ...then I will tell you how, otherwise I'm wasting both of our time to simply humour your curiosity to pass the time of day. So my answer is this. If you want to truly find out how to harness the most important  and and powerful part of you to gain anything you want from life ...your career, your relationship your business, your dream, then you will have to convince yourself you really want to take that step and are prepared to commit to it and yourself...then I will ask you another question...what are you prepared to do, what are you prepared to invest into yourself to gain that skill, what value do you place on something until this day has been absolutely no value to you whatsoever. The value you come up with determineS how easy it is to open your subconscious creative mind. Let me put it another way. If you live in the UK and you have paid a TV licence for the last ten years you've invested nearly two thousand pounds in negative conditioning,..to undo that conditioning is it worth the same to you...or maybe buy a book for ten pounds to reverse the trend. How to unlock you mind is to stop investing in the lock or try balancing things up a bit by buying a key of the same value. It's your mind, and you are what thoughts you eat, and a diet of other people's thoughts is the food of slavery. So my last question is , how much of your day is spent under the control of other people's thoughts and not your own? This will tell you how to start unlocking the creative subconscious, then we can have a conversation where you ask more committed questions to the true you.

18 HOURS A DAY BLIND FAITH

Back to working 18 hour days with little sleep so I hope the old body doesn't give out again. The method of delivery to the Market of any product is the route to success, this means the cost of client acquisition I have mentioned before. Within this enterprise the complete £100 can go towards this purpose as the success game is both a product and a marketing exercise.

Most businesses, consultants and training  look at marketing as a cost, where as I was always interested in making the marketing, a product in it's own right so it pays for itself. It's actually quite simple such as writing a book so people buy into your wares, but as usual I tend to scale up the concept a thousand times so the marketing actually looks like the main dish, and could actually be, but if you really want to get rich you not only have to think out of the box ....but expansively. 

Taking one hundred and making a million in a year is expansive thinking, and for most watching only wishful thinking, but everything I have done so far is open to anyone to do to, the simple difference is conditioning. Most people are conditioned out of trying, conditioned to reject, be sceptical, and frankly they not only suffer the problems of society, they have become the problem.

I don't suffer fools gladly and I hate negativity in all it's forms as it is just so easy to fall back into that den of uselessness. The project is on the brink of going stratospheric if last nights reaction at a networking do is anything to go by. If you are going to contemplate success, you have to be able to analyse the factors behind it and what's in play right in front of you, and move with the results. This is a game I'm playing and each event requires a reaction to refine all processes down to the most optimised, greased up, slick process I can get to. 

As you know I actually have no respect whatsoever for 95% of the coaching industry because it's like the blind leading the blind. If you haven't climbed Everest how can you guide someone to the summit. When it comes to physical or mental health you don't have to have suffered every illness to know pain and suggest a cure, but you do need to know the cure. Success based thought patterns are rarely taught as most people don't have a clue what one is, other than positive thinking, but the key to true success is rational blind faith in the unseen, only what you create  in your imagination and set about with worldly skills and knowledge to achieve.

FIRST WEEK... SECOND HALF

The first week of the second 6 months half of building the Game starts with the Monday meeting and recruitment of more marketing staff. It usually takes 6 weeks to build a fully functioning direct marketing team, but I'm looking to supercharge  the process and have this achieved in half the time. It's all familiar ground, for whilst I've spent the last 20  years away from the front line when it comes to marketing, the testing of all the approaches over the last month has brought back the skills needed to achieve at a face to face level.

So it's an intensive training for the new recruits, ploughing time and information  into young minds who would never usually access the coaching levels open to them here as my Market has always been CEO and business leader levels. It's cool to take people with loads of enthusiasm but limited experience  right through every business skill in a matter of days, it's intensive but the project has to move so fast now so the momentum will build rapidly. 

The facility to return to basics  has always been a powerful weapon in my skill set and one that has served me well across time when businesses have died. To be a  success you must be prepared to do what it takes without thought or question to achieve the goal, and that means when you have to get your hands dirty working on the face, you step in without question. Leading from the front at the front is a necessary requirement of success, and and that means when there are battles to be fought you are there with the troops facing whatever comes influncing, motivating, and leading. This I'm now doing out of choice purely because of the one hundred pounds to one million goal, however I get to meet people I would never have met other than through this project.

This program teaches people every aspect of success, with a potential million to keep in mind, all they have to do is not do as I say, just do as I do. I'm always sad when people reject their own potential, as the majority of time I see so much more in people than they see in themselves.


Hi all,

As you are aware we are meeting every Monday for a social event as well as recruitment. We have delayed the next section of the course to co inside with the launch of the game as a completed article based on all the research we have done over the last month of which you all played an integral part in and my thanks for that.

The next six months of the project is a full on marketing and sales exercise for the Lifestyle Academy and The Success Game. The academy provides an umbrella for professional coaches to work under...and we are currently recruiting fro suitable individuals to join the current team either at the higher end of experience as an entreprenuer coach, or a small business, and finally Lifestyle, which has a better ring to it than life coach.

The Success game provides every player for £100

A 70% start share of introductions as an agency/business vehicle for the game
24 week course
Formula to the one million
Coaching/ teams and structure to get there.

All players will now be given a series of choices that will either lead them to 1million or away, in effect the million is there in 21 weeks, but every decision made erroded or retains this pot. The game follows how to grow a business placing real life choices in front of you. The first decision is to decide wether it is better to work on your own or within a team of five. This is the point when those teams are built in a training stage prior to the 21 week game commencing, so to play the first game you will need to attend the Monday social  meetings at 6.30 pm.

The level of committed interest in the North of England has made the numbers we currently engaged in London low, but we are now recruiting actively the marketing side which sees Chris on board heading this area. We will be attending networking events to promote the game as well as train players in the art of conversation and influence.

So it's up to you from now on how much effort  you want to apply to your own success here as the Game is ready to play, and will if you focus make you a considerable amount of money simply by learning and applying  the skills of influence, motivation and leadership. The formulae is based on any successful business understanding and has no MLM or pyramid type scheme involved. It has been created from scratch as you know from 6 months of refining every conversation and seminar I have held.

So over the last number of months I have achieved what I set out and promised to do when we first met, and created a method where anyone can make a million in 21 weeks, it's now up to you if you want to.
