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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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!
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.
