EXPECTATIONS

Moving forward, the attraction of money is without doubt based on you mental attitude towards attracting it into your life as well as how you handle it as an energy. You need to value it.. not love it, you need to approach it as you would breath air, you can't take it for granted or expect it to be there but like breathing you develop your subconscious  to naturally attract it into your life and develop it. When I say develop I mean change it's form into something that attracts more money. You have to have purpose, a goal to build towards otherwise the money will just flow through your hands like the sands of time, amounting to a forgotten array of purchases for the moment. I'm not a saver by nature, more a gambler as all my spare cash has gone into businesses. This project was set up from £100 with the mind to break the underfunded rule so many businesses fail from. It is possible to take a small amount of money and make more with it, but when your bills outweigh your income it's a treading water situation not just in the physical sense of how much cash you have but also the mental sense of expectation..we expect to tread water and so that's all we ever do. It's an interesting challenge. How to get out of the lack mentality..the subsistence mind set that is all too easy to fall into. The prison of your comfort zone defines your reality, how much you can make in a week is defined by how much time or and potential you confine your abilities to. Every minute is important but so easily spent in a vain understanding of what can and might be...expectation is the key to all wealth and happiness and the lack of it is rewarded by loss of potential and your true rewards.

Could you train to become a millionaire? We would all like to be wealthy, but what skills do you have to achieve this goal? How  inspirational, motivational or entrepreneurial are you? Can you influence, manage or lead? Do you think you could learn these skills and become a millionaire by applying them? How determined are you?

These are the questions you will need to ask yourself and find the answers to, for your success will be based on how convincing you are not only to yourself but to everyone you meet. To become a millionaire people will need to believe in you, so if your not 100% committed they will sense your weakness.

Whilst you might be a very nice person, it doesn't take a genius to understand you can do more for yourself, your family and society if you have money in your pocket. Its obvious the more you have the more you can do in life, and the more value you become as a person in society. Thats our interest in you. If you have a million you voice is far more valued by other people than if you don't...it's a fact of life. So we are interested in training people who want more out of life and would like to make a difference rather than be an average statistic.

So can you learn to make a million? The answer is a resounding YES  it's all down to having the right mindset as well as the right people to work with. If you are willing to learn and share knowledge then you will make a million guaranteed. Not on your own but with other people...it's the first lesson you will need to learn; you can only become wealthy by working with other like- minded people unless of course your Mark Zukeburger, Bill Gates or can invent the next Apple, and then you won't need me and I won't be needing you.

So am I a  millionaire...no is the answer otherwise I wouldn't be bothering with this would would I..just like you I'd be on a beach earning 10-20% on my money. Do I want to make a million, of course just like you I do, but the difference between us is I know how to achieve the goal, so whilst I'm  a few steps ahead, I know to get there I have to share that knowledge to get where I need to with you.

So let's look at your alternatives... Keep doing what you've been doing all this time hoping for the best and getting the same result...is that really what you want? Or maybe try something new, learn how to be a millionaire and you will stand far more chance of being one than staying  as you are. One million would change your life unrecognisably, trust me... I know I've had that amount of money in cash  but I simply didn't know how to keep it at the time...I blew the lot on expensive cars, holidays and great times. I don't regret it as I had a wonderful time, but in order to keep it the next time round, I knew I had to change my mindset. Making large amounts of money is not difficult people do it all the time....  keeping it is the secret you really have to learn. So if I can change my mind set to keep the money this time and make more... then all I'm going to ask you to do is change yours and believe you can have a million too.

I've spent days  hours and weeks using my knowledge of business and money making programs to  develop a way for anyone what ever their background to make a million. It doesn't take education, it doesn't take contacts, and it doesn't take money, but what it does take is the desire and dedication to want a million and learn how. There's no shares, horse racing or pyramid scheme involved, it's just simply based on learning how to think like your a millionaire..and take the actions all millionaires take to make money.. It's simple, it's easy and it's very, very fast. So fast we could both be sipping cocktails in the Caribbean in a matter of weeks, but I can't do this on my own..I need people like you who want a lot more out of life.

So the choice is simple. Do you want to remain the way you are living the best way you can, convincing yourself this is as good as it gets or take a giant life changing step forward. So what's it going to cost to learn to become a millionaire. Well.. how much does it cost right now for you to sit at home or go to work. Time.. it's the most priceless gift you will ever have...and for the most part you will be squandering it. Two whole weeks of our lives on average are spent waiting for traffic lights to turn green, so tell me that's not a waste of time. Watching TV, reading the paper, going to the loo, sleeping, eating, daydreaming, the list goes on.  Everything you do costs something, it doesn't matter what it is, but the biggest cost is in time ...the most valuable asset you will every have. You just never know when it will run out. So not being wealthy is already costing you a fortune in lost interest in the money you haven't got. If you had a million in the bank right now...the few minutes you have spent reading this would have made a pound or dollar in interest, by the end of today that would amount to about 288 dollars or pounds you haven't made simply because you didn't have the knowledge of  how to get the million in the bank already. That's the cost to you right now for not knowing how to make a million. They say you can't miss what you never had, but one fundamental difference between people who become wealthy and those who don't is the basic understanding of how much it costs every minute you waste not bothering with this very simple equation.

So the answer to cost is.... today it will cost you 288 dollars or pounds  whatever you do. Tomorrow will be more because of compound interest on what you didn't earn yesterday and so on ...the clock ticks and your wealth increases or decreases in line with your desires to achieve. That's not the cost of course, how could you find out all the secrets and the method of how to become a millionaire for such a small figure. Well the point of this is not how much it costs to learn... it's the cost to you of not having the knowledge and the people to work with right now to help you... that's priceless... I'm sure you will agree. So there's absolutely no point in charging for it as no one has  priceless amount of money anyway.

What I'm looking for are people who have the sense to be able to add this equation up for themselves and come out with the right answer...one that has value both in the bank and in the individuals ability to help themselves, their family and society as a whole, rather than letting the sand of time slip through their fingers just like I let the million slip through mine. Together we can make a difference  ..there's the invitation....it's up to you now as it's always been.

BLAST FROM THE PAST SAVE THE DAY

Following on from my last post, it's time to step back in time and tell you a story.

About 15 years ago now I was living and working in Beirut. I had a great time with some wonderful people who worked for me in a variety of capacities during a period in Lebanon where the effect of the war on the mentality of the population was still very evident. Rather than failing to trust others they failed o trust themselves in their behaviour which was a little sad at the time. Between having my staff arrested, spending nights on the run from the security forces and playing financial cat and mouse with the local mafia, I developed some strong relationships with the individuals I came into contact with as I was to all intents and purposes on my own as an Englishman abroad. One key individual who I relied on heavily while I was there and I liked an awful lot, unfortunately

From the posts you will know I'm trying to stay as true to the original concept as possible of using the law of attraction to guide my steps in this enterprise. This is hard for a variety of reasons. Firstly the financial implications of stepping out of the money go round 'society' spends it's time riding, and secondly my on personal conditioning and ability to let go. The latter subject has as the year has passed been by far the hardest to reconcile. It's caused me  to suffer illness and depression as well as a multitude of problems I have to date never experienced before. However, I still feel a guiding hand behind this endeavour and one that has at times forced me along even though I was reluctant to continue. As I mentioned on the financial front we all have bills to pay and recently I had a commitment I knew I would need to cover that ran into a number of thousands of pounds. The amount is significant only in figurative terms,  in that I felt I should leave it to the powers of the universe to provide me with the said sum. This was hard to do as a considerable amount of loss was on the line should my beliefs be ill founded. This is the true test of faith, you need to be prepared to put it all on the line ...no safety net. It's a life choice or no choice.I was worried from time to time but I consistently reminded myself to relax and think of the amount I required, a difficult ask as I still suffer the symptoms of my illness walker in the year especially in times of increased stress. The deadline passed, so with a little duking and diving I managed to placate the debt for a little longer. Then I received an email via the Meet Up site I joined you may remember. Someone who I knew fifteen years ago in Lebanon, a friend who I parted company with under unsettling financial circumstances had traced me via the site with a view to remedying the financial breech in our friendship long since passed. The sum I received today was the exact amount I required to settle my pressing debt. Now let's look at this objectively. He said he had been searching for me for many many years, but only by chance last week did he find me on the 'Meet Up' site. Fifteen years of no luck as he did not know my surname and then ...well you draw your own conclusions. The universe possibly acted on my need and facilitated the contact. Coincidence in timing and amount, maybe...maybe my arse. This really is the underling truth behind this year, there is undoubtedly a force at work that provides what is needed so long as it is congruent with the ultimate course and life path you are meant to be taking. What I mean by that is balance, not I want a Rolls Royce or a big house for their own sake  but it is the method that takes you to those goals that is the most important aspect. Wealth gained through love, honour and truth is really where the pleasure of life exists. This is what OHM needed to teach, to provide the structure for people to hang not only their own hopes and dreams on but also facilitate their life path, help them manifest a future with wealth and abundance that comes from the source of all life.. not just the commercial rat race we are signed up for without choice from the start. This is the key to the success of OHM, to teach people how to become a millionaire by learning the right state of mind and skills necessary to inspire, motivate and lead others to the same goal. I tend to feel a person with a million in their pocket is far more likely to be able to help their own lives as well the lives of their families and humanity with the financial  clout to do it, the two are not mutually exclusive. Money is an energy, its just how you use is that moves towards negative or positive states of reality.

RAMIFICATIONS

Visionary. It's been a week since my last post and for a very good reason. For those who have been following this blog you will be under no illusions that this is a very personal journey. I have mentioned that some people go and climb Everest or sail the world to make a stament to themselves about life. For me I'm aware there is an Everest, or a journey of discovery inside all of us, it's just having the courage to lay it on the line and go for it.  All very motivational, but that's not what I'm looking for. Personally I'm testing the beliefs I hold and what I'm told. What is conditioning and what is truth? Not so much how does the universe work.. but can I get it to work for me as it's always been anyway, but a little more with me at least directing my steps in reality not in my ego. I'm not a scientist looking to take things apart to discover how things work. I know a table exists out of atoms and molecules, we exist out of atoms and molecules...although I've never actually seen either..and the knowledge doesn't actually help me on a dally basis. Still I am interested in the unseen workings of the universe we live in and ultimately it's purpose, but not for the benefit of theological discussion or just knowing a bit more than the other fellow, I want a practical understanding and the ability to see with open unencumbered eyes that are almost at times impossible to see through as the glasses of 20/20 vision have been so scratched and scraped by society and conditioning, it's barely possible to make out what's right in front of you all of the time. Over the last month the financial ramifications of pursuing this goal began to build. My ability to attract wealth as part of this project is ultimately geared to my mental state..anxiety, stress, panic or relaxed. All I will say is I'm testing my beliefs to the core and will most certainly reveal over the next few days the results. Whilst it's difficult to stay on this path as the cost is considerable, I believe the pay off will ultimately be worth the effort. As you know this is not just about money, in fact in many ways it could be seen as the very reverse. I could spend my time like the rest of humanity with my nose firmly embedded into the work grindstone of subsistence survival sanitised with a few materialistic trappings from time to time to make the whole affair palatable... I've been trying this out for a couple of weeks to see just how much people suffer, and I have to say I cannot for the life of me understand how people not only live this way but also identify and defend their choice to do so. I guess it all started way back when as youngsters people had dreams long since forgotten or beaten out of them, only to be replaced by the routine of 'normal' daily life. I like the idea if a better way, not the way it's aways been. Yes life evolves or seems to with every new gadget or I Phone that is released, but are we truly any better off. Listening to recent events of the Lance and Jimmy kind I can't help wondering what individuals in society can people actually have faith in. What is true, and what are the conspiracies that hide beneath the surface of our sanitised world. When I mention conspiracy, that's not a theory by the way,  it would be a very naive individual who considered these people as lone operatives in society. To survive and prosper the support of people of influence is essential. So what of this project how can people believe in its purity. That's been the question I've been trying to find the answer to and one that has perplexed me for most of the year. The key has always been to create a facility anyone could adopt to make the same goal, to work with others to achieve individual and group goals as one, and to date it's been rejected on many fronts. But as the days pass new ideas form and new events conspire to develop alternative insights into how I can resolve these issues. Ultimately its about packaging and sales because although the product works..it's getting people to buy into it that matters the most.

SQUIRRELS

One of the primary keys to success is the ability to develop a mind set that cherishes life. However you start out ...with good or bad intentions, you will find that life has a way of taking you on a journey in which your primary goal is to stay the course with true values and worth while goals. Sometimes this can be hard, truth be told it's always hard when life isn't as easy as it could be, but life as a struggle is just as addictive as life running as smooth as cream. Don't feel guilty life doesn't go your way, don't think you don't deserve success and maybe you're being paid back for a previous life's misdeeds or being a 'bad person' whatever determines that or whoever determined the perimeters of what a good person really is. Let's take squirrels for example. I was in Hyde park the other day with Asta watching squirrels, one of which decided to climb up her leg all the way to her shoulder and then down the other side. Beautiful little creatures, but some people regard them as tree rats. Now I don't actually know what's wrong with a rat anyway as I've known a few very friendly pet one's in my time, but people do have the habit of deciding something is good or bad with a compass that's really very damaged. Everything in this world we live in is connected, the trees the flowers and the animals all have a hidden connection we don't understand, yet we humans have just the same connection but try to separate ourselves from it, from each other...from the squirrels. It's a strange behaviour but one that is fostered by nationalism , belief , race politics  and sex. With all the division between people its easy to understand why their is so much discord  in the world. Squirrels don't actually have wars, they don't murder or abuse, but like all animals they are territorial and get ratty with each other. These are basic instincts...and the more you succumb to your basic instincts the more you will be just like a squirrel..except not so furry. Instincts like hate, jealousy, envy, greed amongst others pull you down, if you value life and the connection between all things you will find these instincts loose their power, it's only when faced with someone else who may not have the good values you aspire to in mind, that you can be dragged back down the evolutionary step ladder again. Life is like a game of snakes and ladders, and just like on the board the closer you get to the finishing point of true understanding the bigger the snake becomes to make you fall the furthest back to the beginning. So take heart, we are all on the same page going in the same direction one way or another, so try to look at your fellow man as either in front of you or behind you on the journey of life, but always one way or another in exactly the same place of equality. 

HAVE A LITTLE FAITH

Looking at belief, it's surprising how close many people's attitude to making a million is to believing in God.  Let's take the big man for a moment. Putting religion asside and going for the core creator as a concept, on the scale of fundamentalist beliefs at one end you have got the complete believer in the man, and on the other end of the scale you have the complete believer in nothing but the here and now. Right in the middle you have a fence to straddle as neither proof or disproof are available as a definitive answer. But having said that there is a considerable amount more to gain by edging towards the full believer in the omnipotent one than the other alternative has to offer, so in the absence of any other alternative it would seem logical to move in the holy direction especially in those last days when you're facing eternity and signing up for the God club seems a very good idea in those last moments. Coming back to money the word faith comes to mind and this is where the link can be found. Faith in the un seen, the yet to be proved and the the creative instinct. Some people are sceptics, but is this because they lack the creative flair to manifest something from nothing. Without visionaries we would not have the modern sophistication we take for granted. They all had faith in themselves and an idea. A faith so powerful they were prepared to devote their lives to their belief. It's just the same with God, you have to have faith in the unseen, blind faith you could say, but the feeling comes from deep within that not only justifies your belief, but also drives it forward, like it or not there is no choice. Making a million in this program has got absolutely nothing to do with the method itself, that will always be common sense and maths, what really makes the whole thing work is the belief, the faith in ones self to actually achieve. By abstaining for the race you negate the possibility of loosing and therefore facing disappointment, by choosing to want, desire and do something about changing your life you do risk failure and ridicule, but who from? Only the people who never had the strengeth to enter the race in the first place, it's not the winning that counts it's the taking part that matters, and funnily enough if you take part in this equation there's not much possibility of failure. For if you were only five percent successful, you would still make 50k in 21 weeks, learn alot and meet some great people who might just be able to make a difference in the world with a bit of extra cash. It just takes a little faith not in anyone else but yourself ..and that's exactly where you will find the omnipotent one ...

REJECTING REALITY

So following on from yesterday, the flip side of fantasy is very important, for whilst we may be confined to our sometimes perfectly ordinary lives it's always nice to go on a safe journey into another world. Films and books give us the facility to experience excitement from the safety of behind the popcorn or the sofa for that matter. It's not real but the emotional kick is as close as we might like to go. In regard to our sex minded couple in fifty shades what woman really wants to be tied to a bed and dominated in a variety of invasive ways...? If you're out there would you kindly drop me a line. You can do what you like in a fantasy, even feel guilty about it if you want, it's yours do what you will with. But returning to the million...I was having a conversation today with a very adept salesperson about why people reject making money, even when the method and route is there before them. It's belief that is really lacking in society, not just in becoming wealthy but also people's faith in themselves. If I ask someone would they like a million, they say yes, and if I propose that if there was a way they could make a million in 21 weeks would they do that they say immediately yes, but straight away the scepticism the self doubt and the conditioning immediately hits their face, they start to wrestle with the prospect ..a real prospect, but rapidly reject it's potential an become distracted. It's a strange reaction to watch, and one I have to find the key to overcoming.

A GREY OCTOBER DAY

Learning is a simple process, it  involves four distinct stages that can scare the hell of a grown man and make him cry. First comes the period of unconscious incompetence otherwise known as the period you know fuck all about the subject or skill in question. Next comes conscious incompetence where you know you're bad. Followed by conscious competence where you know your not that bad at all, and finally moving to unconscious competence where you're that confident you can multi task like the best of them while you're being dam good at the task in hand. When it comes to making money, having a relationship or playing a sport the four stages apply...even having sex. With regard to this last subject I noticed Fifty Shades was on offer at Sainsbury's for 3.99 and decided to take a peak....not part with the cash though. My interest is in the method to make money ...not the sex side as to be honest it's really a bit lame. I don't know what the majority of women get up to in the bedroom but if this is the length and the breadth of their fantasies ...reality has got to be a sorry old show for them. Maybe it's their expectations that fall short of the mark, maybe their choice of partner is shall we say a little on the weak side. The female in love mode or on the security search  is not all-together a rational being and from the the amount of women who find this book on the side of entertaining, the proof is they must be surely represed in their sexual experiences.  Expectations, now there's a thing. Of you don't expect to get what you would like don't expect the universe to give it to you, and if you have to go looking in a book to find your thrills maybe life is not quite as good as it could be. Start by taking a look in the mirror, there's the reality and in the book is the fantasy, and in the massive void between the two lies all the reasons for why life is oh so terribly boring. So what's the answer, well a good start would be to change not only the image you see in the mirror but also whats behind the image. Create what you want in your imagination and then go manifest it, otherwise it's going to be down to a wank over some pages of what someone else is wishing for and certainly not getting so you can join the club.  Mummy porn is not exactly what this project is about... as that's about as inept  as a peep show. No, we are not looking to peep at the goodies from behind glass or though another's imagination, but to take up the challenge of success and beat the shit out of failure. The real world is where the real goodies are for those who want to suck the juice out of what this world has to offer rather than find a third rate way of getting your rocks off.  Mind you, entertainment and the expansion of the mind are very good reasons to read a book...but if you get some inspiration for the good life don't let it stop there..bring your dreams into reality by changing yours. As for Mr Grey...well I have to say he is a bit of a light weight when it comes to S&M, but I'm sure Miss Steele will manage to domesticate him and then accuse him of not being the man she met very quickly. Unfortunately our basic programming takes all the fun out of life.

LEARNING THE ART

Making money is not all that difficult, it's only people that confuse the issue.  Just ask yourself what ways are available to you to make money, not just a couple of quid, a salary of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or even a 100,000, I mean a major injection of life changing cash. What are you good at, what limits your income in the marketplace? If you are working for someone then you will be doing your forty a week for a wage and that is all you will ever look forward to, unless that is you have your eye on another ball, in fact another game completely. Maybe a best selling novelist or a reality star, maybe a unique idea that if you had the money would make you a rich person overnight, lots of possibilities but all with long odds I'm afraid. If you are reckoning on making your fortune as an entrepreneur of some sort, you will have to learn one fundamental skill, the ability to sell you ideas. Now sales is the purge of the human mind, most people either hate the dreaded salesperson or resent the freedom a true purveyor of words has at his or her disposal. But if you want to break the mould and lift yourself to a higher plane of wealth you will need to accept that the skill of selling as an essential tool in your success box. Without this acceptance you are unlikely to accomplish the climb to your goal, as much as you will find a lack of practice in the oral arts is just as debilitating to your dreams. As a seasoned entrepreneur of some thirty years at the preverbal front or face of the pits of business, my own interest in potential individuals to work with begins with an individuals understanding of the power of influence. This starts with an empathetic understanding of others needs, wants and desires, combined with the ability to use this knowledge in a positive way.  The overwhelming majority of people fail to recognise their lack of ability in this area, as much as their own assessment of halitosis should they become victim to a septic gob. It's sad to see so many people not achieve their full potential, purely for a lack of the right word to say at the right time. It's not a difficult knowledge to learn but it's a very elusive knowledge to find. This is the key to this project; finding people who can accept and master this essential part of the success game, people who can take on an equal responsibility in the success of this endeavour by taking the right action for themselves.

THE CHALLENGE

So let's look at the challenge again. Firstly both you and I have to realise success is an internal challenge that manifests is self into our external realities. This means whatever you think will have a demonstrable effect on the life you lead. Now before you get the idea I'm a master of this science, believe me I'm not. We all have our crosses to bare and our problems to sort out, and as life goes on somehow the problems get easier but the issues become more complex.  Having always been a highly analytical person, I can really piss myself off (just as much as with other people I will concede) with the level of complexity I make life become. It's a skill to be able to take complex issues apart and put them back together again, but it's also a bit of a pain as most of life is very very simple. So with this little enterprise keeping it simple is the key and hence why I've cut the web site down to one page and as few words as I could. All I want is to find people who want to make a million and are prepared to do what it takes to make it happen without moaning or becoming negative because it wasn't all done for them. As you know, the success game is based on people helping each other, which many individuals have seen as a basic flaw in the idea because when it comes to money people have the habit of turning to help themselves. But the purpose of this cause is not simply money it's about people realising that we are far better of helping, coaching and mentoring each other to achieve a common goal than remaining in the world of consumer competition.  The success game is about seven conversations of success, each person doing their part to help others through those conversations. But the right packaging of the game has eluded me so far, hence why I'm now taking the simplistic approach of just finding people who would like to make the million and then go from there. It should be an easy conversation, that's what I want to find, but so far it's been very very difficult to find the magic, almost to a point whereby I can't see the answer ever happening. But whatever gets said or done here, God loves a trier so I'm just going to have to rely on his judgement. Hopefully we will move forward with people realising that to make a change in society you have to have wealth and a common cause to do it,  hopefully they won't be mutually exclusive.

CONFIDENCE

Confidence  It's an amazing drug. Worth more in good feelings and possibilities than all the cocaine, pot and speed you could ever get your hands on. It's infectious too, people want confidence, they know how much power there is in that single most important of words. But it's an illusive drug. You can tell yourself you're confident, you can try to brain wash yourself into believing your convincing everyone you are, but nine out of ten times it's a facade, a front held in place by the ego fooling some but not all, least of all you. So what is pure unadulterated confidence, where does it come from and what makes it so special. Well confidence comes from certainty, in an outcome, or a skill, confidence comes from a belief in happy endings or a religion, but in truth these are simply scaffolds to hang confidence on like a structure that needs to be in place so we can feel confident for the moment, it's a relationship with an outside entity that gives us the excuse to feel confident. Unfortunately if the belief in a certain outcome is never realised, a skill becomes redundant or a religion is flawed confidence seeps away and the feeling of certainty is left as a shadow where all the promise once lived.  This is disappointment in not just the loss of confidence but the realisation it was only an illusion in the first place. Now theres a crisis in mis placed confidence, like a fighter who looses for the first time....invincibility gone..however misguided the ego, the pieces can never be put back again. Like a relationship that's pure and everything we hoped for, but in reality is fallible like all human endeavour and once broken like a perfect vase can never be put back together again. All confidence and trust gone. Confidence in ones ability to be right, to succeed, not to fail is another illusion. Everything is relative to the time, the place and the situation, one day what we feel is perfect, the next no longer retains it's allure.  The lesson to learn is that confidence built around these transitory scaffolds is a short term illusion, that whilst it's power is highly addictive and desirable, always ends up as an empty cup. So where does true confidence exist. Is it feeling worth to another, to society, is it feeling valued and recognised. Is it belonging and being believed in. Or might it just be something altogether more illusive but none the less simple. Life is going to challenge everything you think or believe in from time to time. That's what life is about. Having it easy is not the point. We can either be challenged by the world we live in or challenge the world, either way it's how we ultimately play the game that counts. I remember the olds phrase 'it's not the winning that matters it's the taking part and how your play that really counts.' To have true confidence in life, it really must only come down to how you face success and failure and treat those two impostors just the same. We are after all, all at sea all of the time never knowing where the currents of life will take us next, seeking certainty is easy if you learn how to bend with the wind and go with the flow. Giving up on forcing life is the key to allowing yourself to become truly confident and at peace with yourself. Allow opportunity to come towards you and then direct that energy, it's the place where real confidence lies, never to be doubted or lost.

PYRAMID PUBLISHING

Ideas As you will appreciate from the bulk of this blog the ideas that run through my small but insignificant mind are all based on making a million very quickly. It's not actually about the money, it's the challenge. The amount is just a figure, it's creating methods to get there that intrigue me, so ultimately it's a game. I'm always interested in meeting people who would like to create ways to achieve a mutual goal, but unfortunately they are very few and far between, most people are happy being unhappy with their lot, maintaining their tread water lifestyle through inactivity and inaction. Nothing wrong with that at all, but for me a life less ordinary is all I've ever really wanted, so the thought of dropping into normality with the rest of humanity is actually an extremely scary prospect, one that actually I would find life threatening if by some odd circumstance I had to settle for it. I'm not saying it's bad, but for me I just don't have the right blood to settle for mediocrity..it's just not in me.  People are very different, some settle for what they can get and others keep trying to get what they can't have. The first group is infinitely larger than the second. I've often thought of people in relation to water. You have those who like living by lakes, others who like non tidal rivers, whilst I have a particular affinity towards estuary people, others like the Coastal feel. A very few these days like the solitary life on the sea, but many actually prefer to be completely land locked with aspirations for freedom every time a puddle occurs or a pond is built in a back garden. Water represents freedom and movement to me, those of the land don't actually understand how deep these rivers of affinity run, just like feng shui if the furniture in your house is placed incorrectly you feel odd , the placement of your mind is equally relevant and powerfully debilitating if you get it wrong...is it any wonder people age so quickly...DNA it could be, but I'm sure people rot because they have their feet planted in the wrong grow bag.  One method does come to mind again and again, mainly because every time I ever talk about making money it's the first reactionary words to spill from the mouths of the masses, MLM. Most haven't a clue what that subject actually is but none the less ignorance speaks first..but very rarely thinks later, because if ignorance did have the capacity to analyse it wouldn't talk with the brain disengaged.  I like the idea of a pyramid style book publishing company, and whilst I've played with the idea a few times I've never actually put any heart or soul behind it. So I have it in mind to scratch the itch and set about developing one. The formulae is very simple: all books cost £20 with a £5 referral fee and five further levels of payment totalling £10. As the books cost 5-6 pounds to produce that leaves a small margin. So whatever book gets recommended by the purchaser to another purchaser a commission is due. It's a simple referral program and ideally if each person sold 10 books to ten people who read and sold ten books everyone would be a wise millionaire very quickly. But I'd like to move on a little to start helping people write their own books to immediately go into the pyramid publishing pot, and for those of you who would like to learn a little English, that's alliteration for you.

THE MONEY FLOW

Money and the flow of energy  If you open your heart to love the energy of love will surely follow...or find you. It's exactly the same with money or any other energy you would like to attract..however to receive you have to give which means there is a transaction in action, a moment if you like and you will need to develop your skills as a conduit of the energy you seek to manifest the commodity into your life. This means you need to find a way money can pass through your hands to generate more. Working for so done is one way, but you will always be limited by salary and time. To create real wealth you will need to loosen the bonds  on  how much money can be attracted into your life and how much can be spent. It sounds quite simple and to be honest it is, but it's the hardest trick for the majority of the planet. Some horde, and in so doing gather wealth, but this does not enable the individual to turn the wealth in to another energy like love..only a large bank account ..hence the saying money doesn't bring you happiness. No it doesn't but what it does do is provide you with a currency to be exchanged. Ultimately, if you seek real wealth the only method to create larger sums is to develop a method for money to make money , not simply the exchange if time and services. This is the true alchemy of wealth and one people are reluctant to learn and society is set fast against teaching.  To make a million from £100 is perfectly possible and perfectly legal if the success game is followed. Rather than being a conventional exchange of money for services it's simply a different take, but so far I've hound people are so entrenched in conformity even their desire for more and the need for wealth is undermined by the lack of insight into how those who are rich stay rich and why those who are poor remain so. It's an interesting challenge in every conversation I have and as yet I still need to find the right method of delivery of the message to those who are too blind to see and too deaf to hear, not out of any physical deformity, but certainly a mental block to growth of their own resources both physically and mentally.

EMPATHETIC WAY

So Autumn is  here with a bit of a wet and windy start...a sign of things to come with a cozy winter. So far I've been through quite a number of alternative routes to get things moving in the right direction over the last few weeks. One area that keeps coming up is empathy...or more to the point empathy training. Learning the true meaning of the empathetic way is probably the most important lesson life will ever teach you whatever your background, expertise or future. Just for those who are unaware of the difference between those who are empathic and those who are sympathetic, one means you cry with another person, the other means you step in their shoes and understand their pain, and through understanding another's views, prejudices, and behavioural habits you can be just that bit closer to helping yourself and other people.  You see the empathetic person has the ability to step outside of their own needs and understand another's, this means the skill of a manager, a politician, a salesperson, a leader, or anyone in a relationship will be considerably more effective than the non empathetic soul. For some it is very difficult to adopt the way of the empathiser, but none the less it is the future, the way for humanity to evolve from a little self obsessed to a more tolerant and understanding race. It's not an easy way of living for it requires the individual to put aside their own prejudices, preconceived ideas, and  assumptions, sometimes believing in a certain way gives us strength and a potential unity comes from others no matter how misplaced the beliefs of a group may be. Falling in line with the beliefs of a group allows people to sense belonging, a powerful drug of personal identification, a basic tribal instinct if you like. The more you grow intellectually and spiritually the less these basic motivators matter if they did at all in the first place for you. But whilst the group attraction remains, it allows people to be manipulated  by those who would manipulate for gain.  Freedom of thought from the influence of groups or your own behavioural limitations is the inspiration we should all try to aspire to, although it is as I said not an easy route. To be open enough in mind to truly step into someone else's shoes and see with their eyes, hear with their ears and feel just like them is a practiced art, and a potentially scary one because it will open your mind to seeing 'you' from their point of view...this can be a revealing and empowering lesson, one that really is the bedrock of our evolution as a single race. Having a conversation the other day on nationalism, the way of the empathetic mind allowed me to develop other people's thoughts and challenge their prejudices very quickly. Everyone wants things to be better, with more give than take, some peace and love, but through empathising with their hopes and dreams and then their criticisms of others they start to see that their own thought pattern are actually self defeating in the goals they so earnestly professed to desire.

MUSLIM MADNESS

Having a conversation about the fractional nature of humanity today , it seems impossible to bring to mind a time in the near or distant future whereby people relate to each other as equals and are of the same species.  People love to be part of a group, they are programmed to identify themselves from an early age into the mind set of them and us. From opposing football clubs to family ties, from national pride into religious sectarian beliefs. Into male and females, young and old, the list is endless and is the major reason why people can hate, kill, or generally behave in a manner that is not exactly becoming of a gentleman. We are all faced with the dilemma of how we should treat our fellow man on a daily basis, we all have choices to make all of the time relating to which group we belong to and how far we will go to honour that decision to join that particular group. When it comes to fundamentalism, and the abuse of power to manipulate the masses...through national pride by governments, through defence of a 1400 year old prophet against a silly internet film , or the IRA looking for new terrorist the method is always the same. Let's find some young disaffected, up for a fight young people ..mainly males and get them to rally to the cause...which ultimately can lead to atrocities. Government exists for a number of reasons that I can't say I actually like, but frankly my thoughts on that are about as relevant to the world as a goldfish swimming in soup, but unfortunately the fear is and always has been the mob ...getting upset with whatever the people who run the mob choose to create as the cause for power or for money, in exactly the same way as a government governs.  To be honest, it's all rather sad really, especially the recent Muslim protests for a film that was aired to 10 people and then obviously used as a vehicle to create trouble . Muslims should be ashamed of themselves for being so easily excited..or is it back to young disaffected people having a ruck rather than actually trying to create a better world the prophet was after in the first place. Maybe the point is too many people have lost the point of existence In the fist place ...to learn to be a single race unified in our thinking and in no way allowing emotion to cloud our judgements to a point where you kill people with an opposing view, maybe even the same view just born into a different group to you. As you will appreciate I'm not a member of a religious club...a subject FatMan is my way of dealing with. If you think there is a single good reason to hate another person, you are not a true Muslim, you are not a true Christian, you are not living up to the truth of what it is to be human...or humain. When the penny drops and people find 'them and us' is a stupid fruitless cause of self indulgent crap then we might just evolve to become something more than we are, until then my project has a difficult future. This is one of the issues I for one wish to face and take action over..and with a few good people who are prepared to do something a little different to make a change you never know, sometimes dreams come true.

UNCLE TOM

Just thinking of Old Uncle Tom's Cabin ... No I don't have an uncle who lives in a cabin .....just the question 'can one book change the world' and this one certainly did. Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom's Cabin  in 1852 and by the outbreak of the American civil war in 1861, it had sold 4 million copies making Beecher the most famous author in the world. Notable not for it's literary quality or over sentimental story, but how it change peoples thoughts towards slavery..the book Abraham Lincoln referenced when he met Stowe as the book that started the great war.

I don't think I'll win any prizes for literary prose either, but it's the message within my books I'd like to think might have an effect on the world.. it's a common goal for a writer. But the difficulty is how to get people to look not just beneath the surface but actually see what is infront of their eyes. In a world where  information overload cloggs every media, the simple story of life can sometimes seem lost.

FatMan is a simple story, but none the less getting someone to open a book and see what's inside is very difficult. Over the weekend I met a young man who's focus was on the type face of the cover...not the 300 pages inside. In publishing it is undoubtedly the envelope of the letter that gets the sale, but as a writer you would like comment on the words. There are those who read and those who watch and those who do. There's a bit of each in us all but all of one is never good.

My Epitaph Our Legacy was written with a view to changing the world, and of all my books it's the one  when people on the tube look over my shoulder brings an immediate effect ...laughter.  It's a great feeling to inspire an emotion in people, a change of state or confidence, but with this project I'm after something more, a bigger change. It's a huge task, it's a massive ask, and one so far in the year has been ultimately nothing more than an experience. But it ain't over till the FatMan sings and there's enough time left in the bottle to hit a home run yet...lady luck might just take a fancy to me after all.

FAITH IN A PLOT

Finding the right course to your future can sometimes be a little arduous and bemusing. To relax and let the fates decide the course of your future is a very difficult approach to take in life...on one side it could be seen as rolling over and letting life's rhythms control your destiny, on the other it could be viewed as the ultimate faith.

To see yourself as a victim of life is not exactly healthy, better to be a passenger or driver, two roles we have to play from time to time, for the story of our lives is being told as we go, chapters that whilst are written are new to us. This can be a scary thought and bemusing to realise that whilst the plot is written it is also up to us to determine it's direction and final outcome. The truth is we are both drivers and passengers at the same time, we have control to write an already written plot. This may sound a little contradictory, but the universe is based on multiple simultaneous possibilities, all leading to an ultimate purpose. It's difficult to get your head around, but once you give it a go, things start to fit into place... But only with a little faith. 

INSPIRATION

Getting the old grey matter back to work and on a mission with one hundred million has been like wading through toffee with a velvet suit on. Most of what's going on in the background of my life I will save for the next book simply because I don't want to bore people with life's little problems. The more you get involved in diversions of the material kind the more the creative force we all have access to is stifled, hence why my posts have become shorter and sporadic. However, for us all the answers to our prayers, hopes dreams and desires are all around us if we choose to look.

Convincing people to get involved. With the success game has been hard, and sometimes you could be forgiven for thinking it's you or the idea that's wrong. But simply the hurdle of conservatism and reluctance of the Market has always been an issue since time began. Having a great or silly idea is to a degree irrelevant, it's the method of delivery to the Market and the turn of the tide in your direction that's the difficult bit, and with this project it's also the rapid money side that gives the whole thing a bit of steam.

Two things yesterday served to kick start my mind. Firstly Tarot. I've always been intrigued how a deck of cards can provide an insight into the problems you face. Whoever put together the explanation of each cards history on my deck had to possess a great understanding of social conditioning and awareness of the archetypal problems we all face. But whatever the explanations of each of the cards, cutting the deck and having the card that describes the moment to a T is a very strange occurrence again and again.

Moving on to the second interesting motivator, the BBC3 TV program Be Your Own  Boss. Why it was interesting was simply the three ideas that got to the latter stages for investment...
1. No real idea but potential from two inventors of gadgets.
2. A £60 camping outfit for festivals called Lazy Camper
3. Custom coloured bikes called Mango.

Of the three the bikes got £50k and rightly so... But it's the fact there's so many people wanting to come up with ideas and these were the best that makes you draw your own conclusions. 

So with this in mind I'm after finding people with ideas rather than pushing my own. OHM will be a club for people who  either have the creative sense, the entrepreneurial desire or the action ability to what to make a million out of £100. The success game gives them a path and a format whatever to work on whilst they create their own suggestion... but not just for it's own sake...it will have to be viable in principle...

To lead the way I've created three ideas, firstly My Epitaph which allows people to get their own work published in a book and take a share of the profit, secondly the Success Game which as you know is based on finding seven ambitious people in seven weeks,  and thirdly my multi level book writing &referral program which means by buying a book and recommending it you get paid a slice of the royalties...think a share of 40 million with Fifty Shades and you will see the idea has merit.

So I'm out flogging memberships directly to see if I can find some creatives, entrepreneurs, or men and women of action to join the cause....

ONE YEAR OLDER

Taking a little time out to celebrate my birthday over the last few days hence my absence ...how old ...too old...but who cares...it's a one way trip to to eternity and I'm on the downward run now in the wrong direction. A downward run sounds alot easier than an up hill climb but in age terms I'm not so sure it is. Anyway the inevitable ageing  process is upon me which means a host of saggy bits..maybe if I stand on my head for a couple of days everything will return to the start position. 

This project has been a tiring one, especially the financial constraints, but its been very revealing as to my own character and those of others. Unfortunately the ability of humanity to shoot itself in the foot is probably known throughout the universe and as such makes swimming against the flow very hard indeed. But none the less one has to keep moving forward whatever the hurdles, pitfalls or challenges. Ultimately we are only competing with ourselves in our abilities to influence our environments to take us in the right direction. It's a bit of a game of solitaire really, with to opposing sides within the one fighting to take charge.

Sometimes you can feel your just treading water or going round in circles, but whatever the pressures a deep resolve and a firm commitment to the task in hand is what's required, so banish any negative thoughts and take the right action where appropriate and bide your time, the wheels of the universe turn whatever day of the week it is, so rest assured whilst you may find life is a little slow at times, remember all works  in good time, patience is a virtue and a whole load of other sayings that don't seem to add up to much but do seem to provide a semblance of understanding of all the trials and tribulations we face from time to time.  

On ward and upward, and as FatMan would say 'to the winner the cake!'

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS

The price of success, well there's a thing...how much is it worth to you....usually the price is failure again and again until it either makes or breaks you. Success is easy for some but for the majority the price of that most elusive of goals is years of dedication to the the task. 

If you're born with a beautiful face or a beautiful body in a world where how you look gets you through the front door you will be doing very well, but what's between your ears is going to really keep you in the frame, and if your haven't got the visual appeal to be invited into the party, then just find a way to kick the doors in, either in the front or round the back.

Basically your resolve will keep you in play for success but you do have to want to play in the first place, you do have to what to go after the prize..whatever that is for you. 

As we progress with the million in one year, just like sitting back and leaving a novel for a few weeks and then coming back to it, you get a fresh perspective of where you need to change and what you need to add. The game is one way, the entrepreneurial program is another, my epitaph is also a method, as well as good old FatMan, but these are just a few ideas...and I'd like to expand to work with others to the same goal, so there are layers of projects working at once. Sounds complicated but fundamentally the structure is there to invite anyone to join in even without an idea.. just a bit of ambition. So with this in mind one hundred million becomes a club..not just an entrepreneurial club but for anyone who wants to suck a little more of the juice out of existence,rub away the sleep of indecision and take some action to make a success out of something rather than sit back and make a success at being nothing.

A BIT OF DESTINY

So September begins and it's back to normality with everyone finally stepping off the plane, and back into the seat of destiny. Ok well a bit over the top but there's nothing like a little bit of destiny to take you forward, a bit of fate in the mix, ask yourself what's your destiny, what would you like it to be, what has it been and can it change. ...do you want it to change.. Do you want to forge your own way in this life, to strike out and cut your own path across the stars...to become a star.. a shooting star no less, full of star dust ready to bring forth from the cosmos, a triumph of achievement never before seen and probably never seen again.

Achievement, now there's a word to inspire those who chance to dream a dream..so wants yours ..do you have one ..and what have you done to make it real...sitting on your arse is always popular, doing nothing but a repetitive job is always a great way to live and selected by the overwhelming majority, but to anyone with the remotest semblance of creative juice running through their veins it's a bad day in hell. 

So what does all this add up to...just a feeling, an emotion, a belief to do more and be more, whatever the past has furnished you with...it's brought you right to this moment right now...a momentous  moment ..as each one is ...so this is the beginning and it's time to get started with the right attitude and the right action to make it happen...whatever 'it' is.

SELF CRITIQUE

What makes you different from the crowd? Or are you happy to follow the herd? After all there's  a considerable amount of security being hidden in the herd of humanity, away from the spotlight but possibly believing you are so much more. Many people feel they are 'undiscovered' ( who by and what exactly for is un clear) simply because they have a nagging feeling they should be something more. But the question is how do you become something more without having the herd recognise you as something more and in so doing draft you back into the herd. Can you be something more than you are without the recognition of others... Just purely by self recognition...and what actually is more, when would you know that you've achieved it ...fame ...fortune....the adulation of the masses or interviews on TV ..does all this make you something more than the man or woman next to you, is this the way to realise your full potential and feed the need to be right, to be superior?

Conversations amuse me purely because people spend so much time belittling others or criticising behaviour ( not their own) to gain energy, to feel empowered by voicing a criticism.... who do they think they are , why would they say that, that's not what they said they would do, that's not what i was told, why would they do that, be that ...sitting in judgement of others... we all do it especially when we are offended and it is a very bad habit. There is no rule book on behaviour other than social etiquette, but most of the negative critique comes from not understanding other people's view points, or more importantly setting  oneself up above others. 

Before criticising... step into the other persons shoes, think with their thoughts and try to understand ....see if you can ...it's quite a challenge.

HEAD IN A BUCKET

The facility to creating our own reality is a very powerful tool, but none the less one that has important far reaching questions. Nearly thirty years ago I bought a book on Nostradamus's predictions which is now interesting to look back on and see how things have panned out. One prediction that affected us all was the twin towers ....

But this information was available to all, so were those who conceived the plot influenced by the predictions or were the predictions correct....self for filling prophecies. But setting down a prediction of the future, wether we like it or not our subconscious minds will take the steps necessary to realise that prediction, either as  individuals or as a group. Subconscious behaviour is the unconscious mind influencing, and as a race we do this all the time. Our thoughts and emotions connect just like a shoal of fish or a flock of starlings we move not only as individuals but as one, but so far this has always been a covert connection  not an overt one, therefore it's power is mitigated but still a very strong global conection for not altogether obvious good and bad motives.

Asking questions, the right questions of yourself and of others is essential to  understand life...very, very few people ask questions inspired by free thought, it's far easier to humour ourselves and go along with the consensus rather  than really dig a little deeper. You only have to ask someone to contemplate death for a moment and see the reaction...the mind switches off as the subject is beyond comprehension for many..this is where the opportunity for influence steps in ...religion supplies the answers to the eternal questions...and whatever the foundation of those answers, whatever the truth, for the majority it is much easier to stick their head in a bucket and go along with the superficial answers of the group rather than face the questions alone and unanswered.

As we have seen, people will put their own lives as well as others happily forward as the price of defence in a belief however twisted or manipulated. So ask yourself who benefits from your thoughts.... Is it you, is it your ego, is it your fraternity, is it your race ...is it just a sense of belonging you seek at the cost of rational question and thought. 

Don't be afraid to ask questions.. You might not get the right answers, you might not get any answers...but at least you started the journey to free thought.

END OF AUGUST SOON

Long experience of the August effect still doesn't stop me feeling just a little frustrated at the absence of business in this period. Many go away for the break, whilst those who stay behind are either on a go slow or too overworked to really focus. Things tend to pick up from the beginning of September, maybe even stretching into the second week. 

Even so, time waits for no man, and in this regard I have spent the last few days laying out FatMan...well not in reality ...more of a metaphorical sense.
I've sent the final copy to a number of individuals to read and a number of agents to review..but the August thing is making this a slow time for responses to anything. 

Unlike any other book I've written, The Curse Of Le Cuirf is the first I'm actually keen to hear a review, mainly because it's the first full novel I've written as opposed to a self help, entrepreneurial, coaching book or novelette. There is undoubtedly something quite liberating in making it up as you go along, having the latitude to control both sides of the conversation, or so it seems. The truth is each character is reactionary to the ultimate plan of the bad guy, so conversations have their own flow, their own course when you are writing them. There's a beginning, a middle and an end. The craft of writing, especially comedy is feeling the pace of the text so it takes it's own course like an unhindered river.. it cannot wax lyrical in the descriptive text of Hardy, but has to retain the consistent attention of the reader so each sentence moves into the next, in a relentless story that when you are writing it comes to it's own natural conclusion. It's rather strange that I set out with a total number of words in mind, 90k...the book finished on 90,800 with not another word to say.

It just goes to show that if you set a goal in mind the subconscious sets about creating your goal, or as close too it as it can

KISS

kiss ...Keep it simple stupid... This means... don't over complicate simple stuff for simple people .... Which is the overwhelming majority of the planet. Over complication is a fault of us all ...including yours truly. 

When you write a book you really need to leave it for a while once you've finished, let it sit and have a look after a few  weeks or even months, you tend to see the glitches a little better as well as the over complicated bits.

Looking at the success game after a short August break, a simplification is undoubtedly in order. The ultimate success of all players is based around introducing seven other people who would like to make a million. Cost to play £100...worse case scenario, a 21 week course in influence, motivation and leadership. Thats it.So with this in mind it's just a numbers game to find seven people who want success enough to get off their arses to go find it.

 With four months to go I have a number of plans in place to achieve the total, so we will have to see, however I'm  still drawn to an old favourite which involves controversial book publishing. Basically within the price of a book you have an agents fee and a marketing budget to reward those who refer books they like. It's a simple idea..not sure if it's ever been done before but worth a go.

I'm interested to see the ideas other people will come up with for the reality Tv program,...maybe there will be a good  one in the bunch ...who  knows

SNOOKER BALLS

Do you deserve success?

Well ask yourself the question...what have you done so far in your life that warrants yuo being picked out from seven billion people and given a break.

The guy who won 148 million on a lucky dip got a break..a rather large one, but why him? What was so special about this individual to tempt lady luck, fate to touch him on the shoulder, ask someone else to step out of line and dish out what has to be the luckiest numbers I've ever seen. 

Firstly, success doesn't come down to what you think you deserve. The point of existence is not about wealth or material gains, it's about purpose.. destiny if you like, and whatever you do so long as it's congruent with the ultimate purpose it will happen. So long as the cogs of the universe can turn to their ultimate conclusion... then you can influence your future.

Personally I don't know the lucky winner, but one thing I do know, everything works to a plan. Think snooker. The ball that gets hit isn't the one that goes in the pocket, it's the one that sent the right ball in the right pocket. So like it or not your ultimate purpose is to move balls in pockets, which whilst being rude and simplistic is potentially an over simplification of what actually does happen. Think multiple possibilities all at the same time, multiple reasons multiple purposes. The 148 million is irrelevant ( that hurts to say but it is) it's the possibilities of movement for the universe that is the ultimate gain...the size is not important..well at least my other half tells me... It's the knock on effect that has the real ramifications. Think it only takes one sperm to make a life but as a race we combine millions of shags and unfortunate  poor dead little swimmers to get one goal for the team. So it seems you did not only  deserve a high level of success but actually received a massive amount to be here...so what's changed?

INVITATIONS TO REVIEW

I'm currently looking to invite a few people of differing ages and backgrounds  to review the second in the FatMan series  I've just competed.  The book is not a self development book in the convetional sense, more a satirical black comedy, with a few undercover messages on life and meaning, lying somewhere between Satanic Verses, Fifty Shades, and ReleaseThe Giant Within.  It's called "FatMan Two-The Curse of Le Cuirf"  and from the title as you will appreciate it is very  politically incorrect in nature. I do hope it will ruffle a few feathers in the right places as well as bring a little levity to my readers days.

If you are interested in providing a review before release, let me know and I will send you a PDF copy.

LUCKY DAY EVERY DAY

Seeing opportunity is one of the absolute necessities to find success, combined with the ability to take it. In the well known book the 'luck factor' one of the exercises they conducted was about two individuals walking into a coffee shop at different times.. The one who considered himself  unlucky  failed to see a £5 note on the floor as he went in, as well as neglecting to talk to the other individual in the cafe. The person who had described himself as lucky saw the money spoke to the person and exchanged contact details.

So this is an exercise, but which one do you relate to. The reason I bring this up today is as I was going into my local Tesco I saw a  £50 note on the pavement other people weren't seeing, I picked it up and noticed the owner was the Queen who has got far too much of the stuff anyway, and obviously had left it there for me. Now the question is should I have taken the money into the shop and given it to the cashier, so should someone come in and say 'I've lost a fifty pound note' they would be able to return it to the rightful owner. Alternatively I could have yelled at the top of my voice "has anyone lost a fifty pound note?" What would you do?

Well it just goes to show in the middle of a lunch time at a local supermarket entrance there's money to be seen on the floor if you care to look which as I'm always saying 95% of people don't. When was the last time lady luck treated you so nicely or is it back to the old seeing opportunity that's right in front of you. It's a skill ..it takes practice and if your don't use it you will most definitely loose it. So keep looking for opportunity ... Expect it... And yours will be whatever you desire...but do pick it up!

SMALL PROGRESSION

Currently I'm focused on taking an August break and working my socks off selling FatMan to literary agents. To promote a book you have to retain more dedication that writing it... But hopefully the big fella will take someone's fancy in due course. August is not the best time to find people at home but when it comes to getting published any time is as good as another.

CONSISTENCY

Consistency is a characteristic of success you will hear me harp on about periodically, it goes hand in hand with a few other C's like commitment, confidence, and contacts. But sticking with consistency for a moment, in success terms it's a fundamental requirement. It is essentially to set a goal and remain focused on the task, this means training your mind to think in a certain way, a way that leads towards your goal day in day out. This means you will always be taking steps in the right direction, and in law of attraction terms your thoughts will influence the universe to give you the opportunities you need to manifest your goal.

Thinking consistently is not so easy especially over days weeks and even years. There are many choices to make and paths to take which will make sticking to your resolve harder the longer you go. Let's take book writing for example. To write a decent piece takes a considerable commitment in terms of hours and focused thought, hours that could be equally spent on an alternative pursuit. There are no guarantees of publication, or even a sale of your book, but you have to take a leap of faith, a leap into the unknown to write a book ....as well as a challenge to ones own confidence in writing, it's a kind of blind belief, unless that is you are a published author with money already on the table as an advance.

The ghost writing services I provide for companies or individuals allows my clients to express their thoughts and experiences in the most enduring form of art, the art of words. Writing a book about your life or your business is an opportunity to express your beliefs and thoughts, as well as provide some semblance of advice to those unknown book purchasers who may read your work. In terms of a business, having a book to your name makes you considerably more expert than your competition, however a piece written from your own experience can if it's well written, and structured to be commercial, increase your social standing considerably...if that appeals. Alternatively, it can provide a small step to immortality ..a record for your descendants to look into to find the value of your life, combined with the thoughts, wisdom and inspirations you might like to be remembered for. Just think if you had a window into the minds of your relatives from the past... the value would be considerable. 

AMEBA

In life we are all faced with choices, some seem so momentous, others seem so small, but whatever decisions you make add up over time to the person you become. You could say success is the sum of all your failures, or success comes from the courage to make mistakes. Fear of failure is the biggest reason for inactivity in all our lives, however the skill to make rapid, decisive choices is very rare. 

Many people kid themselves they have this ability, but in truth they only take the route of making no decisions, simply never taking the appropriate actions to succeed. The inability to do nothing some call patience, a great virtue in many situations, but patience isn't waiting till you die or waiting for someone else to take action to solve any responsibility on your part for doing nothing, patience is the skill of timing, knowing when the right time is to move. 

So many people I meet put every reason forward to themselves and others not to do anything that really makes a difference, they just go with the herd, go with the flow, but the sadness is they never really know freedom. The freedom to really be themselves, let the conditioning  go and loose the expectations of others to take their own course. Many people are lost in a world that really is full of contradictions from all sides with few role models to emulate other than fictional characters played by actors as well as people picked out by the media circus that pervades in modern society, providing such low grade mental stimulation for a population who seeps further back down the evolutionary path to the single cell organism that started the whole thing off ... The ameba. 

This may seem at first sight harsh, but ask yourself the purpose of an ameba, and then contrast it with the purpose of the average humans existence. Ok, so they don't have a flat screen TV and a flushing toilet, but out side of this what is the sum of an existence..more importantly your existence. 

Money is not the purpose behind this project, whilst it is nice,  and when can all do with some retail therapy from time to time,  the more important aspects are written between the lines, in the spaces that an only be filled with actions taken by people like you. It's about meaning, and meaning something.

FATALISTIC FEELINGS

So there's a bit of FatMan..the name  of Jerry Missile is of course a take on a Hollywood actor which isn't too difficult to fathom if you take a famous cartoon and a type of missile. The whole book is a surreal story of sex, relationships, religion and the meaning if life, reflecting our world in rather weird and strange ways. It's humorous and  gross, as well as deeply meaningful and debauched, which makes it a unique mix.

Creativity is a wonderful thing, and like any art it requires constant practice to perfect. For my own part when I want to find inspiration I just ask the old creative subconscious to come up with the next word that leads into a sentence and then into a page, that takes the form of a story. It's exactly the same with this post, I don't actually know where this is going till I get to the end...just like life. The real difficulty ..and it is a difficult or easy as you make it, is giving into the flow of the world and not trying to force the issue. It's a knack, and for me as easy to loose as it is to use. 

Over the recent weeks I've found myself living mentally the 'real' world, and as a result the coincidences have stopped as well as seeing the opportunities. Only over the last few days have they started to appear again, funnily enough since the end of the Olympics. Now was that because my focus was on events taking place and I failed to see the signs, or was that because there were no signs...I think the former rather than the latter. Undoubtedly the more we become embroiled in the moments of distraction the more we loose sight of the creative substance which can help us to our goals. It's a game, nothing more, but one there are only so many days within to have an opportunity to master. In truth I'm going to have to go a fair old pace to master this in one lifetime and there certainly is less left time now than there  used to be. But whatever happens I cannot deny the feeling everything was always meant to happen a certain way anyway, a forgone conclusion in a pre written story which plays out like it's a random event that whilst seems to be within my power to grasp the ability to determine by relaxing and letting the opportunity flow my way, still gives the feeling of destiny. There is no winning or loosing in the success game of life, it's just the way you get to learn the most important lesson for you... And that's the trick ...knowing what it was and when you've finally learnt it.

FATMAN EXERPT

As I keep getting asked what FatMan is about I thought it might be an opportune time to run an extract of the text. As you may know FatMan is a Super Hero who lives In a parallel universe to our own with very similar characters. It is a romantic adventure as well as being a satirical piece. During the following excerpt FatMan gets to meet a top Hollywood film star.. Guess who..

What was your big break into the movies?" FatMan asked.
"Oh, that was my first porn movie called 'Top Bum'. Dorl suggested I change my name to something with a bit more power so I chose Jerry Missile. Dorl liked it, he said it retained the 'Porn King' feeling about it, but sometimes I also used my birth name 'Rusty Star' when I was playing straight. While I'm very short, I am extremely well endowed, which was fundamentally all that was required to make it big on the big screen, combined with my cute little bum of course. The film was about a group of gay navy guys banging to become the top bum in the American Navy. I played a rebel who lost his boyfriend in a freak swimming accident, suffered a loss of confidence and then banged his way to the top."
"I didn't know you were gay." FatMan said with surprise at Jerry's insider, behind closed back door revelations.
"I'm not, it's only make believe in the films you know, it's not like I had a relationship for real, it was only acting, and I had my mind on making it to the big time, after taking it big time."
"So you used a stunt double for all the hard core banging scenes?" FatMan asked intrigued at Rusty Star's candour.
"Sometimes, only when there was potentially too much for me to handle with the breadth of my experience, but I like to do all my own stunts, it adds to the authenticity of the whole film I feel."
"Yeah, I've always admired you for your action scenes." FatMan said feeling very fortunate to be sharing the front seat with such a great icon of the 35 millimetre. "But I guess you must have had some close shaves in your time?"
"Usually we get waxed to give a clear crack and ball look to the shots, but there was a hairy moment once when I got my rip cord stuck just as I was trying to eject, but other than that I really enjoyed making the film. We played beach ball and did a lot of shower scenes which were great fun, the experience really laid the path to my next film, 'Legs Wide Open', a film about gang banging and wife swapping which was panned by the critics mainly for a lack of realism. I had my ex-wife in it at the time so I couldn't see the problem, but looking back I realise we were acting in the relationship and that part of me came onto the camera sometimes."
"I guess it can really mess up a film."
"Yes and no, sometimes it adds to the authenticity, but with modern cleaning fluids you can still get the best out of camera after the money shot has been taken."
"What was your real key to success?"
"Well, I think I got into the grove of playing different characters who were basically all the same. Usually at the top of their game, meeting a girl having loads of sex, having a crisis of confidence, not being able to have sex and then finding a way to get back in the seat so to speak. I did that as a gay lawyer in 'Taking A Few Good Men', and a stud racing driver called 'Nights of Wonder'. I've had my share of howlers like the one about a long haired veterinary surgeon in a wheel chair, who wanted to be a girl, called 'The Fucking of Julie', not to mention 'Clitoral Damage' which was a snuff movie. I got a stand in to go down for the final scene on that one. Unfortunately the critics all said I shouldn't have copped out and done the final death scene myself as I'd been killing the film all through. Far and away the best early movie I made was the 'Colour of Honey', which was about a rent boy running tricks on the pool circuit. It called for some really athletic work for all the positions I had to get into bending over pool tables, fondling cues and playing with balls, often all at the same time. My character had a really big mouth which was wonderful for a young actor to get really into the scenes that required my oral skills and not just body shots."
"Wow, you really are dedicated to your work aren't you, it's not surprising you hit the big time, even for such a short fellow."
"Well I was just lucky I guess, as well as lots of strategically placed boxes" Copyright FATMAN TWO 'THE CURSE OF LE CUIRF'.

SAVING THE DAY

As the Olympics ends it's back to normality, with the prospect of an economy going nowhere, with just a few problems on the horizon. The last fifteen days have been a good time to evaluate opportunities and view progress relating to making the million. 

So far we have the success game as well as the tv reality show on the cards, and not forgetting FatMan being published. This was written in the year so it qualifies as being part of the project, anyone can pick up a pen and start writing, and using the creative subconscious it's pretty easy to achieve pretty well anything you want.

 One thing that does actually confound me is the 99% reluctance of anyone to take any steps whatsoever to develop this part of their mind. It's stange to think the one biggest muscle lying between a persons ears is the one they spend the most time ignoring. We have the Olympics to celebrate physical achievement of a few, which is great, but the facility for everyone to use the old grey matter to elevate their lives is just a step away. A simple step to take to learn to think in a more expansive way, but does anyone actually want to.. The answer so far is no. Is it any wonder the man up stairs decided to take a break from humanity, and his son felt it was less painful to have nails stuck in your limbs to avoid having to watch his fellow man evolve, it's a bit like watching paint dry it's so slow.

FatMan steps in here, not as a real super hero but the most powerful way for me to illustrate the irony of humanity though the comic story of a man who's relative stupidity and ignorance is pitted agains the greatest mind the world has ever seen. As the story is set in a parallel universe allowing the latitude to parody  real life society, this  is where both  the true power of comedy and satire exists. Covering religion, sex, relationships and the meaning of life in a way I think is probably going to turn a few heads. If you know me then you will know my sense of humour knows no bounds, so if you would  like to go on an adventure that guarantees to open your mind, then this is for you. Think Satanic Verses on acid.

Between The Success Game and FatMan, lies the secret of making a million.

GREAT GAME

It's amazing how England have done so well at the Olympics over the other European countries, only that is if you see England as part of the European group.

The swimmers however didn't live up to expectations, more drowning than treasure hunting for gold, which unfortunately means a cut in funding to that area. If you don't come up with the metal, you don't seem to get the mint, which is rather odd as it really doesn't take a lot to fund a few pairs of trunks and a bikini. The reason we seem to have medals is because we've been looking for young prospective medal hopes when the olympics was a twinkle in Lord Sebs eye. I suppose someone realised it would be a bit if a damp squib if we didn't chuck some money in Team GB's pocket in the form of finding some athletes to compete in our own Olympics  to get some medals. But you have to look to the old lottery funding to see where a considerable amount of change has occurred in our fortunes over recent years. Once you've got motivation and money, well success is just a heart beat away.

The Olympics has been a great boost for the old British ego, even with a reserve Wimbledon replay final that I have to say was a little oddly one sided, or was I the only one to see that. But our success as a nation is a wonderful thing, it's now just where to take that feeling to, nurture it, feed it and make some more. Or was it all just a nice diversion from reality. The Olympic spirit, everyone loves a success and doesn't it make you want to brush the cobwebs off the old bike and pedal your way round the block to your own gold medal in Rio in four years, well maybe not. I like the idea of the sailing, as of all the sports  it seems to take the least amount of effort other than knocking about in a boat on the water all day with a box of sandwiches and a bottle of Pims. Beach volley ball on the other hand looked promising and easy to get involved in, just find a beach and a ball with a couple of blonde beauties and  you've got my vote there straight away. 

So with the games all but over, what's the prognosis for the next big British event...oh it's the x factor again for series four hundred and twenty three. Even Simon has got bored of that one, although not of getting a nice wedge in the pocket for the whole deal. Its back to normality with a few kids thinking they will be the next Daley Thompson or Seb Coe.. Maybe I've got my decades muddled up, but I'm sure you get the message... Since these two turned up we havent exactly excelled in these sports since, and hopefully it's not going to be the same again. It would be nice to think our world domination second to China and the USA will stretch on for years ahead, but your can't help wondering how a little island can compete with such huge nations of people. Maybe it's because in recant years we adopted the winning game plan of inviting most of the world to come and live on our little green patch of land so in reality we are probably a bigger nation than either of them anyway. As I always say, to succeed you need a great team, so invite everyone on to yours and you will have the best, and that's exactly what the success game aims to do, no single winner but make everyone succeed... Now that's a game worth playing.

HYPOCRISY

Hypocrisy

Having worked with many young offenders who have for one reason or another taken a short cut to or a quick route out, only to find that breaking the rules  is not necessarily  going to achieve the result they desired, it begs the question, do these people deserve a second chance for trying to cheat the system? Or was the ultimate crime getting caught. Unfortunately we live in a society of double standards where those who run big business and banks can for the most part write their own ticket as money talks when it comes to buying your way in our commercial world's legal and political arena.

But when we talk sports, the purity of the human spirit is paramount in a world set above all others as a showcase for humanities better self. But don't be fooled, the worse side still exists with bribes and drugs. But in sports does it really mean there are no second chances for those who fall from the higher plane of expectation to taking a more distasteful route to success. Tonight on the Olympics, the presenters rallied to condemn the ladies winner of the 1500 meters, who, having served a 2 year ban for the use of a banned substance finds herself with not just the European Gold medal, but also the Olympic gold as well. Given the lady in question passes the drugs test, then despite falling from grace through temptation, she has now climbed probably the biggest hurdle in anyone's life, back from the abyss to make good. She paid her dues according to the rules, but condemned by those who commented on her as an unworthy winner and not the sort athletics wants to see winning a medal. So what was their suggestion.. Maybe she could run the race but never hope to win? If I was running to beat the world I would want the best in the world to compete against, otherwise victory is an empty cup... drugs offences or not, so long as they were clean when they raced, and thats an admin problem not mine.

Humanity fails in it's quest for perfection on a daily basis. Taking drugs in sports is just one of those failings. But if you set the rules out, and someone plays by those rules to regain their lost reputation and succeeds, then honour that person as just as much if not more of an achiever, abide by the rules of the moment if you want to have rules, don't moan when the rules don't actually live up to your hypocrisy and ask yourself if your thoughts would be the same if she'd been bringing home a British medal.

 

STRATEGIC MARKETING PARTNERS

So what's the next step with the success game as we wait for the Olympics to reach it's climax. Well in marketing terms we need to make alliances with strategic marketing partners, this is not so easy to do in any business as typically the old comments of 'what's in it for me' and 'it's my cake and I will eat it all' comes to mind. This is more of an English negative trait, you won't find so much in other countries, it's always been far easier to enter into productive relationships abroad rather than in the UK, it's one of those cultural things that keeps the English football team from gaining any real success, we are not bred to be team players instead we have a national love of the underdog, who makes good so we can turn our backs on them and revel in their subsequent demise. It's rather sad but that's the British spirit.

The Olympic tally is an example of how we can achieve as a nation, but whatever happens you know as eggs are eggs it will take only a moment for the press to pull it all to pieces and find something to blame somebody about. It's sad how we love to see success  just as much as failure, one kind of cancels  the other out.

As far as strategic marketing partners the book will be sent to a number of choice individuals in the personal and business development world, who if they can put aside the reactions I have mentioned would make a massive contribution to the whole project. One aspect that seems to confuse people is the parity aspect I have built in, how all people involved have an equal opportunity so there is no one at the top of the tree creaming it. A key to hte game is the fact the whole program is simply administered by the players for the players, therefor no one actually owns it, it has it's own life to grow. This aspect few people see the purpose of as their focus is some much on their own benefit, but as I always say once you start to see how the universe works, you will realise you have to give to get and the inherent problem with society is the balance is very much in favour of those people who want all the pies.

AUGUST IN BUSINESS

August in business is always a period you might just as well take the time off for all the returns it yields, unless that is you are involved in the tourist trade. Commercially the world takes the month off so decisions from those in a place to make the key choices are generally lacking in their absence.

Business is all about making choices, important choices which occur on a daily basis with the potential to either run your enterprise onto the rocks or stick on the road to success. Making decisions is a skill, you have to practice both quality and speed as the faster you make key choices the more you will achieve, however experience gives you the insight and confidence to make the right choices at the right time. Experience can be an expensive exercise, hence why a good coach or mentor is essential in cutting down the wrong moves, the cost of a good guide  is priceless in money saved and advantage gained.

So how do you choose a good coach, well that's a good question. It's personal choice, and like all choices we are back to the ability to analyse and make the right ones. A good coach can have a considerable background in business or be a considerable creative talent, maybe both, but as with all things you get what you pay for, so invest wisely.

Ultimately the success game is about choices, taking affirmative action to create the future lifestyle you would like. Within the game you have the facility to be coached and mentored in the right direction by people who have travelled the road to success before you. You have the skills and knowledge laid out in front of you to accept or reject as you wish, as it is after all your future to decide what happens to you, how much wealth you attract or people of true value you work with. Either way the future is going to be the way of the past or a new page to be written...the choice is yours.

WHAT'S THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

What is the secret of success. As CHRIS Hoy says it's not one thing, it's an amalgamation of everything you do and think into an optimised situation. Behind success is years of blood, sweat and tears, skills and technique,  the ability to face success and failure and meet those two impostors just the same, but retain the strength to stay the course.

People who decry those who strive for more, those who cry wolf at the success of others are the ones who should take a long hard look in the mirror, for it is far easier to sit back rather than  never put it on the line.

Negativity is a sickness we all suffer, for the quick slippery slope down is far easier to slide  on, than the steady progressive climb out from the masses into the light of achievement. The fight is an internal one, as the doubters don't actually even figure in the equation of success, the struggle is more about consistency and commitment to your cause, seeing the future as something more than the present, not the same old same old for each and every day, week and year.

We all have to face the ultimate judge of our lives sooner or later, and at that point it doesn't much matter how long the journey was, more the manner and the way you got there that counts. So when all is said and done, what would stand the test of time for you right now, what would be your legacy. A loving family, a wonderful career or the amassing of money, whatever floats your boat it doesn't really matter, it's only what you find in your heart that is the real gold you take with you, as everything else including your gold teeth you leave behind. 

So take a moment to find the most potent and powerful part of you, the value you would like to be your eternal spirit. Start with loving yourself for who you are, what you represent, and what you would like to be remembered for, as it will be these things that add up to your true worth in the end.

VIBRATIONAL SENSITIVITY

It's all too easy to loose the thread of the law of attraction. The way we live in our modern society does not lend well to retaining the constant focus and belief in the power of the unseen. The more you engage in the world of the moment, the demands of the day the further away form the true source you become. It's a balancing act, and one that never stops. But you need to be aware of how much energy is either coming your way or being extracted from you. You have to give to get without doubt, but again you need to have a balance of energy exchange, otherwise you will be be overcome gradually by the drain on your mind, body and spirit. Energy drains come in two forms, the massive drain of the moment, and the deadly drain of the slow drip. The massive instantaneous drain can be recovered from simply because you feel the hit and it hurts, but the long drawn out ageing subversive drain that goes on year in year out is the one to be aware of, to guard against.

We all need to build our resources, this means taking time out to meditate, to find nature and restock your energy. It is essential to build positive resources in your life, places you go in your mind filled with all the good memoirs you can think of. An absolute treasure trove of your own personal energy brought together as a power base you can tap into anytime anywhere. Set up a kinaesthetic anchor, maybe touching two fingers together as you visualise the memories and events, magnifying the emotions  at their peak. You can set up a series of anchors of confidence, relaxation, happiness, joy, whatever you want to use to change your state to a positive frame of mind whenever you want to.

Remember the world we live in of concrete forms and buildings is the lowest form of vibrating energy, and as such can literally drain the life from you if you don't take the steps to change your physical environment as well as your mental state.
