MONEY - POWER - SEX‏

Good Morning

Today I am going to be a blunt and reiterate you what you already know but don’t like to hear.

The title is an amalgamation of words principally ‘describing’ how the world works, the trick is to have that burning white hot desire to attain two out of the three; sounds easy right? Well let me tell you that you probably have one nailed down already but don’t really know how to use it to its full advantage.  Before we go further lets just examine what they are briefly:

MONEY – Invented and intended to ‘keep’ order, to measure quality of life/standard of living. It does indeed govern how fast or slow the world moves in terms of the progression of mankind. Some say  money is ‘bad’ others admire it; I believe all arguments are in vain because utopia can never be achieved with money in existence. We live TODAY in a society where money does exist so go and get it, PERIOD!

POWER – I define power as “the ability to influence”, so now ask yourself how much power do you have? Lets take two extreme scenarios. First lets consider having the power to influence millions of people to agree and support you into war or having the power to influence a handful of friends go out partying for the night. There is something amazing that lies in between these extremities that separates great success from the average; lets be honest if you are happy on being average in our tiny miniscule part of the universe then STOP READING RIGHT NOW THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!!

SEX(LOVE)-  last but certainly not least this is the one thing that ‘most’ are fortunate enough to be able to do. Not only can it be used to sustain our existence most people don’t know that it is the invisible ‘glue’ that links these three principals together. If you were to derive EVERYTHING we do on the earth you soon find that SEX is the root of ‘everything’; and surprisingly a weird thing happens then you do begin to derive those things. You will notice that at some point within the process of deriving the root you will pass EITHER, POWER or MONEY or BOTH; don’t believe meTRY IT RIGHT NOW with any situation.

Now the key to success in relation to sex is CONTROL. The art of transmutation is a powerful tool used by those in the know, get to know how to use sex to gain that advantage that only successful people now about, Napoleon Hill explains it very well in his book “Think and grow rich” (grab a copy if you haven’t done so already).

Nevertheless to return to my point at the beginning, 2 out of 3 is all you will indeed need to be successful. I hope you can begin to see that not all three is needed. YOU ALREADY HAVE SEX all you now need is either power or money to be successful.

Think about it, if your dreams are not monetarily orientated then you have to gain power to be able to make that happen and vice versa!

DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS to do it? Getting the power to influence people to believe in your dream is a skill that isn’t just going to appear it has to be worked on, the same goes for money; the funny thing is because all three are connected and if you think you can LIVE with just sex then good luck to you because you cant!

Think of your dream right now, now think about which one of the 2 you need, is it POWER or is itMONEY?

A wise man said, “be the change you want to see in the world”, let’s adapt that slightly to what we will be discussing today; “be the change you want to see in yourself”.

Remember, “without risk there is no progress” Goodman 1985.

So in conclusion it’s 1 down 1 to go; how much do you want it? This will determine how long it will take you

Let begin that journey this week, LETS GO!! 

Fight or Flight!

Will you choose to fight 12 rounds or will you decide to give up today.

You slave away, you make the necessary sacrifices, you put in a 100% effort! Yet you failed. Now what? What do you do?

As infants we are educated to understand that in order to achieve our dreams and goals, we must work hard, make sacrifices, put in 110% effort, then we are guaranteed to see the manifestation of our efforts. However, nobody talks or teaches about what we must do, when we attempt to pursue our dreams and fall flat on our face. As humans beings, we are faced with a daily conundrum, the decision to fight or take flight! 

I hear you asking, do you endure further or do you accept defeat and give up?

Today, I wanted to tell you something. I wanted to encourage you. I wanted to make you aware that 'failure is a natural part of life', however, the difference between champions and losers are those who learn from failure and 'push on'.

Failure does not mean that you are weak, in fact, it implies quite the opposite as suggested by TR Bentley-Woode "The lessons from failure are your greatest strengths". 

*You attempt to run a business yet the challenging are overwhelming

*You attempt to pursue a employment career, yet employers are not giving you that much needed break

Keep going! Keep going! Keep going

Can I tell you a secret? "Your success is just one more step in front of your last failed attempt,"Atkin (1985) Napeoleon Hill, the author of "Think and Grow rich" in support of Atkins, suggested that 'Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.'

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The great sportsman Michael Jordan stated, "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying". The greatest lesson you can ever learn is one from yourself.

Watch this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_3Dj5GZJNc by Sir Richard Branson who is regarded as one of the greatest failure of our century, yet one of the most powerful and wealthiest entrepreneurs of today. Go figure that out! Your success is round the corner, just keep the fight! Fight on

Do not give up on your dream. Edison didn't, Branson didn't, I didn't, in fact anyone who ever achieved anything understood one of the greatest secret as noted by John Wooden is that "Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts"

Give it one more shot!

Your success awaits you.

Have a brilliant week

Opportunity is the cousin of gratitude‏

Good morning guys it's a quick one today. 

Once upon a time there was a quote that I came across and in the end; till this day is one of the best sentences I have ever heard.

It goes something like this, “Opportunity is never lost it is simply picked up by someone else”…no one on this earth can disagree to that quote holding so much relevance to how EVERYONE should live their lives.

Your soooooo lucky that today I am going to share two quick stories with you guys; first one:

"The Obstacles In Our Path"

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand - "Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition."

MORAL = GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY!!


"Giving When It Counts"

Many years ago, I heard a story about a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her."

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the colour returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

MORAL = GRATITUDE IS PRICELESS

Now we all know everybody is different and that we all go on different paths to fulfil our destiny. 

Some people are born the ‘tallest’, some are the ‘brightest’, some are the ‘fastest’, some are the‘wisest’ what ever the case we ALL are given opportunities when we enter into this wonderful world we live. SOME TAKE IT and it’s a shame that SOME DON’T. What’s more upsetting is the ones that take it half-heartedly; is that YOU?

Whichever way it works out, you should always remember similarly like the law of physics in relation to energy utters,

“OPPORTUNITY IS OUTHERE IN ABUNDANCE, IT IS NEVER DESTROYED, IT SIMPLY TRANSFORMS FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER”

(T R Bentley-Woode 1985)

Take every opportunity and show some gratitude

Have a wonderful week

Re-Discover your youth!

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream". CS Lewis

Can we take a trip down memory lane? Do you remember when you were 4 or 5 years old, when absolutely nothing mattered, when you allowed yourself to dream. In fact when you were encouraged to dream big. When your creative mind was at its peak.

What are your greatest memories? Come on be open with me, I'm sure it wasn’t only me that wanted to be a super-hero, a policeman, an astronaut, etc. Do you remember when nothing else mattered apart from becoming or having whatsoever you desired? I remember it clearly! *Nostalgic moment*.

During our early development stages, our impressionable minds allowed us to develop a wild, creative, untamed, uncontrollable imagination. Which led us as kid to believe we could achieve and be anything we wanted. Do you still think you can do and achieve anything you wish? Or have you also been affected by the ‘bug’...

If I’m correct, as you are reading this article, many of you are saying ‘I would have pursued my dreams, but, but , but, but why is nobody saying “I am”.

Has anyone ever stopped to think, why many of people rarely achieve his or her childhood fantasies and desires? Why these desire and childhood dreams gradually dissipate or why they remain childhood fantasies?

By the way…I used to really want to be a super-hero really bad. I loved Captain Planet [Does any body remember him?]


Many factors cripple our child-like ability to dream or remain creative. Society, our family, our friends, insecurities, etc. play a significant hand in dampening our wildest dreams. Whilst growing up, how many times, did you hear, no you cant, wont, shouldn’t, etc. Over time we begin to settle for a simple, comfortable, non-boundary pushing life. Our super-heroic dreams are squashed, our quest for success is dwindled, our dreams of wealth are deflated. We begin to settle. Nelson Mandela quoted "There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life than the one you are capable of living".

An infant's ability to imagine is their greatest asset. Why should dreaming BIG stop at infancy? Don’t let your current situation stop you from chasing that dream. Today, you can do it. Why don’t you stand up right now, go remember your wildest dreams and chase it today.

Dreams are like stars... you may never touch them, but if you follow the they will lead you to your destiny".

Today, I implore you to dream again. Re-ignite your desire. I am an advocate of the Obama slogan 'Yes we can'. We can and we will.

You must be able to dream, but most importantly dream big. Donald Trump, the American business tycoon, suggested that if one is to dream at all, you might as well dream BIG.

There is something pure about a child's desire to conquer the world. Lets embrace this purity. Chase that dream today. Forget societal or environmental constraint.

Have a wicked time re-discovering your youth.
