Do, don’t sit on your Arse

19 September 2007

Desired Action, what’s this, surely I can only imagine and it will be granted, yes….no. I don’t think so. Desired Action the secret explains is the do, if you want something, a response is required from YOU! My wife a financial life skills coach says that most people want things but simple have no plan in place. That is, no desired action to change in proportion to what it is you desire. They remain in the “rut race”, excuse the pun Rich Dad Poor Dad.
If I wanted a 1 million, surely I am not going to get it by sitting around on my arse, waiting for a free handout.


Desired Action = DO



So here is my plan to test the secret and get out of the “rut race”:
· I want 50 million rand by age 35 (half will be given away to charity for kids)
· I want to grow the Rural Educational Access Programme Alumni bursary scheme to receive funding of R500K per annum
· I want to grow Skylar to an international brand company
· I want to make a change in 100 000 people’s lives
· I want to have my own red wine brand
· I want to have a mushroom farm
· I want to build the tallest building in Cape Town
· I want to publish a best seller
· I want to make a movie
· I want to have my own clothing label
· By doing all of the above I want to have the best time ever

I think this is enough for now, don’t want to appear greedy. Lets see if the genie of the Universe acknowledges my request.
Later that day I met a guy and gal, Dave Duarte (guy) and Elaine Rumboll (gal) (google them). They blew my mind away with the new changes or rather their views on the new age of marketing. Is this the “force” of the universe working in stealth mode. During the discussion I felt like a Neanderthal, what I knew about new age marketing is the equivalent of what my 2 year old knows about the theory of relativity. Maybe I will see the benefits of this meeting a bit later.
PS. Note to Self maybe these guys can help me start a clothing label.

Later that day I watched “The pursuit of happyness“ , crikey that was one long interview. Got me thinking about “what is wealth and why do we want more?”. Is there a band aid for this? Is wealth not a function of health? OR vice versa? Why are we not happy at any one point? Happyness must and can only be a continuous state of mind.

Happyness is relative!

Thats all I did for the rest of the evening…what did you expect some sort of major revelation….not tonight Mike.
