Hi cyber world. This is a new style blog for me. Many of you out there realise we have completed our 80 min feature film, DREAMCATCHERS, but now what do we do with it?
The next two months of blogs are here to help you come on a journey with us, to hopefully inspire you to do something massive and out of the box. We are taking on the biggest project we ever have at the least probable time we should.
My vision for the movie is that it needed to be made. Its what the secret didn’t tell you. The reason why all this personal development, universal laws etc is resurfacing, what the governing law is and how ordinary people are applying it to create extraordinary things.
So what’s the project – 43 events in 12 countries on every continent in 55 days, with zero funding (having had it fall over recently). Expensive, lots of logistics, big risk, over 150 affiliates and 23 people to manage and inspire and down to three weeks til it all starts.
So check it out and then let me give you the current situation and learnings: www.dreamcatchersmovie.com
So here is the deal – NZ, Australia, Bali, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, China, India, South Africa, UK, Canada, USA. Every day there is a day event – Rock Your Personal Brand – an awesome workshop on taking control of you and your brand, and in the evening the premier of Dreamcatchers.
First issue – Round the world air travel, connections, and venues.
We decided to have both programs in the one venue with a two hour change around. I decided to sleep on planes and save on room costs. Of course then there is the logistics around room set ups, audio visual for a movie, bookings etc.
We have used eventbrite for our bookings, 43 sites are up and open and bookings are coming in.
About 30 people have stepped up to manage locations, logistics, invites and the actual events. Most of them are doing it because they love what we do. I don’t take that lightly. I thank them all for their commitment and endevours. The movie is about transformation and having people understand their is a bigger game out there that they are a part of. This message is important for everyone on the planet at present.
At this late stage our biggest challenge of all is funding. The funding we had no longer exists. Somewhere upwards of $30K USD is the minimum we need. We can give a 20% guarantee on a 6 month funding project, with security if needed.
Email Mike mdh@rockyourlife.net with any questions. This needs to be tidied up in the next week or so. If we do not have this funding, we have to reduce our exposure, PR etc.
So here it all is:
1. We have an ambitious project with incredible logistics that need to be completed.
2. We are currently short of funding.
3. The project is important and we have a great team behind it.
4. We have two weeks to finalise it before the first events.
The process we have is IDEA (Movie), BRAND (Dreamcatchers and everything that goes with it), TEAM (30 people committed to making it work with us), PARTNERSHIPS (Over 100 affiliates).
We will keep you updated, so ask any questions or get involved as an affiliate.
As I writing this I am sitting at the table in the reception of our resort Vision Villas in Gianyur Bali. I have been here for the past two weeks with Emily Gowor. It has been an amazing introspective two weeks. Firstly, at this time for the past few years I have been in Cambodia, but we cancelled our tour their for January 2010. We have some incredible tours this year, so thats what I am focussing on.
The Pool at Vision Villas
Bali has really been awesome for both our souls. Just the other day we were really blown away when Buana, one of our fabulous staff at Vision Villas said to both of us ‘When you smile my heart opens.’ I turned to Emily and we had a moment. Both of us had tears welling up in our eyes from the spirit and love from this beautiful person. The Balinese open their homes and hearts to us, and the staff here have gone out of their way to do that. They have created special dinners, bought in foods we like, set places for us in amazing parts of the resort for private dinners, cut our names into coconuts and the one that really gets me is the minute we head to breakfast the cleaners come in and revoultionise the room, we never see them. All this incredible service and beauty, and all on a salary of less than the cost of two massages a month.
Buana and Emily Gowor
Bali’s beauty and Emily’s questions have made me totally introspective this trip. Something I rarely get to do in life as I am normally so busy. Sure I could find every reason in the world to stay at home, work, do marketing, but sometimes we jsut need time out, even when it seems the worst time to do it, right at the end of a very poor year for business. 2009.
Emily’s question to me ‘Why did you create the movie Dreamcatchers?’
Dreamcatchers Poster
My vision was to encourage everyone who sees it that they too, can create something extraordinary and simply by their actions they would become a leader. People watch what you do, don’t for one minute think you are ebbing and flowing through life unnoticed. You aren’t. Dreamcatchers is the story of 9 ordinary people creating extraordinary things for themselves. These aren’t gurus. They are us and we are them. The creation is simple. I want to live in which country I choose. I want to go and do what I want. I want to contribute to the planet, not take from it all the time. My Vision is that people watch the movie and become re-inspired about their own life. I am. I brought many aspects of ancient and true wisdom to the big screen. Atlantis, The Templars, Egypt, The Mayan Prophecy, The work of Da Vinci, Newton, Edgar Cayce and sacred geometry like 11:11. It’s all there. Watching Dreamcatchers, which is both visually and audibly beautiful is a treat as you will re connect with who you are, why you were born and who you wish to become.
What’s my vision for Rock Your Life and what i do in 2020?
My Vision is based around the movie and the follow up cruise www.dreamcatcherscruise.webs.com I want people to be exposed to this level of learning and embrace it. The law of learning states that the seven spirals of the law are there to be climbed. Security, Thinking, Self Definition, Giving/Love, Flow, Consiousness and Source. Once you have clicked into a level it becomes almost impossible to return to a lower level. I am in Giving/Love. I cannot return to self definition. I know who I am. Do you?
Legend of the Seas - Our Ship
My vision is to allow people to step into their greatness. To live with purpose, not even a sole purpose but purpose in every present moment. To become the example they so seek in the world. We have done much contemplation here. Of business, money, love, communication, nature, divinity, sexuality, purpose and last night I believed we finally became it. You are not the sum of your past experience you are the future in the present moment. You and I we must be present. We must savour every breath, every meal, every kiss, every touch and every success and failure. 2010 will be the year that is… a new decade…a time to design a new you and a new me.
Emily and I have been writing a book in Bali as well. Almost complete now (written in just a few days) ‘The Lie‘ is a journey through the truth and lies about many topics, such as romance, wealth, God, Fashion, Friends and many other topics. This has been a blessing to have this time to write such an important piece of work. Emily has been writing the truth and I the lies, but there are lies in the truth and truth in the lies of everything. The book will be out mid year. I suggest you grab a copy.
Emily and I riding an Elephant in Bali
Thanks for reading and I simply cannot wait to see you at one of our movie launch’s in almost 30 cities globally.
Forget everything you ever knew about the world and how it works.
Forget everything you knew about business and how it was done.
Forget everything about wealth creation and how your parents did it.
Forget everything you have learned about relationships.
Why…because its 2010 and the world is a distinctly different place than it ever was.
People want things now…no waiting… X-Box’s, Food, Movie’s, Home’s, Love…it all has to happen now.
People will seek it elsewhere, they will seek out new relationships on facebook and skype… like it or not its happening. They will create wealth with a crazy idea or website that really has little to it. They will spend that money they make from the crazy website on exotic holidays and overpriced 5 star hotels.
They will bill this money to platinum cards that they will whinge about paying off and then the cycle will repeat. What do I mean they…I am talking about me as much as anyone. I no longer want to wait…
Guess what… we no longer have to.
The concept of Quantum (which is not new) is where the universe just gives us the right messages. We have spent so much time educating ourselves, going through rote to learn what we need to, or what we feel we do. Then we started learning about intuition, that gut feel that pings when we just know soemthing is right…or wrong.
Quantum is the next level. Quantum takes no time. The answer is just delivered. But how does it work?
Without going into Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, everything is connected. We can’t see the wind but we know its there. We talk via internet everyday but no one even thirty years ago would have believed the internet or that every thread of information in the world would become available to us, but it is. So think of Quantum like this:
Quantum is accessing the akashic records (mystical knowledge encoded in the non physical plane of existence) in a type of virtual internet to immediately (and with no buffering) gain the answer we seek or direction we should take.
Quantum is the attachment of everything that is and everything that ever was and it’s there for everyone to access…you and I
I have found that the best way to access it is to simply ask…’what’s the answer’. It quite literally is the first thing that pops up. Top of mind. The thing is that we will often discount it, like if you are wondering how to get your finances in order and all you hear is ’socks’, but the fact is often until you become familiar with the process you get more cryptic messages. ‘Socks’ may quite simply be a reference to feet and the fact that you must learn to walk and run, but you must protect your feet as you cannot run if they blister. Therefore you cannot get your finances in order if you keep blistering the vehicle that will allow your finances to run.
Quantum is here and it is activating now…fast. It want you to use it. It wants you to fast track. Will you in 2010?
Last post of 2009 guys. I met some extraordinary people and had some amazing times this year. Some of my highlights were:
Running my first programs in South Africa and going on Safari there
My trip to Alaska with my great buddy Dave Rogers
Taking a group of 25 people to Mexico for Rock Your World – Mayan Prophecy
Completing two tours of Cambodia with Rock Your World
Touring Australia and Asia with Dave Rogers, Glen Levy and Damian Milo
Filming, working on and releasing our movie – Dreamcatchers
Being a mentor for Entrepreneur Business School in Bali
I met some amazing people this year.
No#1 The Dalai Lama
I walked into the business centre of the Langahm hotel and literally bumped into the Dalai Lama. I had seen the security, but this was a pass key area. ‘Hello Your Holiness’ I said. ‘Hello how are you?’ He respnded…. ‘Are you going to have some coffee?’ He asked…. my gosh was the Lamur going to make me coffee? ‘Yes that sounds good I said…black… no sugar…’ We both smiled…he and I knew it wasnt going to happen. I wished him well and he passed by. I love that such an important person can be so humble and gracious that he can share a joke with an everyday person. I learned the art of grace from him in that short exchange.
No#2 Dr Wayne Dyer
Wayne was on our Alaskan cruise along with Louise Hay and numerous others well known authors. Wayne and I shared a few laughs and again he was very gracious. I got to know his children (he has many) very well on the cruise. Wayne is a quiet family man. He doesn’t come across as deeply spiritual in real life, more poised and balanced. he seems very comfortable in his own skin. many famous people I have met are not
No#3 Gregg Braden
Gregg is one of the leading spiritual scientists in the world. Having written books like ‘The GOD Code’ and ‘The Isiaih Effect’ Gregg studies spirituality from a scientific point of view. He is working with governments and associations committed to 2012 and the transformation. Gregg was interesting. I have read his books. But Gregg was very reclusive…stage personality and then gone… I had some corridor chats with him but he was pretty guarded. Made me wonder what working with US government does to a person. Gregg’s work is still exceptional however
No#4 Vincent Barra – The Psychic’s Psychic
Meeting Vincent was exceptional. He must have the most calming voice in the world. And what an ability to tap into the Psychic realm. No wonder he trains John Holland who is on Oprah regularly. Vincent is flow is amazing. I saw him do readings on several people and the information he pulled was more than any other psychic. We did a wonderful session where my mother came in, I lost my voice was uncontrollably crying (in an exhilarating way) and got some wonderful clarity.
No#5 Hilary Carter – The 11:11 Code
Hilary’s book was so profound I invited her to the Mexico trip where she was an amazing leader and giver. She did my numbers and the results were outstanding. Probably the best by far reading I have ever had. I totally understood why I muck up relationships and have always done, why I am who I am…and what I am exceptional at. Hilary is currently in India following 11’s around the world preparing people for their own personal transformations.
People I have reconnected with this year are also very cool. Top of this list are:
Glen Levy – Hollywood stuntman, the most dangerous man on the planet and one of the biggest hearts. Glen’s technology around the human body, electro magnetism and martial arts is exceptional. He is a teacher of the highest order and such a gentle soul.
Emily Gowor - Word Artist. I have known Em for a few years but working with her on a book project this year has been amazing. I have never met someone of her age who is so profound and so in tune. She’s like a global temperature guage that monitors emotion and thought and brings it to paper with these amazing sentences.
Keith Mason – He channels GOD. He wont admit it…but he does. I have known Keith for a few years but as co leader of our Mexico tour I really saw him in his greatness. Want to find out about yourself…then attend one of his programs.
Keith Mason with Hilary Carter and Dave Rogers
Lastly the year finished on a great note with me winning two speaking awards – Business Person of the Year and proudly – Inspirational Speaker of the Year. What a way to finish…very happy and grateful…so my final questions for you in 2009 are:
What did you learn from this year you will remember all your life
What are you going to commit to achieving in 2010
What have you done to contribute to our world this year
What excuses have you made that you need to face up to
What will you do differently in 2010 to get a different result than this year
Thanks for reading all, here are some shots from 2009.
I was just recapping the year, from being in Bali in Jan and Cambodia as well with Dave Rogers and the Rock Your World Team, to Asia and Australia in February, then to South Africa in April and a wonderful Safari, Malaysia and Cambodia again in May, Australian tour with Dave Rogers in June, Alaska and Phoenix and Vegas in July with Hay House and NSA, Australia in August, then Malaysia and Indonesia, followed by the USA and Mexico for Rock Your World Mayan Prophecy in September to October in Australia again and now November. Sounds full on, but in reality over 25% down on 2009 schedule… dont worry…it all gets normal again in 2010.
In November I had a great tour of the eastern states of Australia with my good buddy Glen Levy – The most dangerous person on the planet – National Geographic and NASA approved of course. Fortune events run by Zane & Inga Truscott did a fabulous job of filling venues for Glen and I plus ensuring we had first class treatment. It so awesome when you have a schedule like mine for everything to actually be organised and work. Amazing.
Glen is a wonder. He is so charged he blew my computer up by standing near it, closed down two other people’s computers by walking past in the airport lounge and blew out 2 lights. I think he truly must be off that show – Heroes – as he does have some superhuman abilities. Mostly I loved watching him on stage doing some of his incredible work, showing people how they can break a hold from a 6 foot 7 giant or simply how we can get more oxygen into our lungs.
Testimount to his ability is that he has been putting on weight, about 10kg, to ensure his weight loss techniques work. The moment we got on tour he started losing it, by the end of the week he had lost 5kg. We were eating on the run and the only exercise he did was on stage showing the audience the exercises. How cool is that. I have definetly noticed just by doing the exercises with Glen each night for 5 mins that I too was toning up…wild eh!
After all the touring I finally had a 3 day break, no internet, on Waiheke Island off Auckland. Walking along the beach, watching old 1940’s movies, I even watched the all blacks whip Englands but… something I havent done all 2009.
Now is the time folks to concentrate on 2010 and what you really need to achieve. You can have an awesome life…just dream it and live it.
Dave Rogers and I just completed a week long tour of NZ where we ran courses in Applied Wealth Dynamics. Briefly I am going to cover the anti-game of each profile: This is the game each profile plays when it is under pressure and stress:
Creators – Go into super adaptability and listening to people. They become humble and want to please people. Very people focussed.
Stars – The become highly analytical and ask lots of questions and burst into detail and analysis
Supporters – Star to focus on the money, what are the numbers, what are the profit shares
Deal Makers – Try to look for a system to get through the stress, they create it if it doesnt exist
Traders – They investigate solutions via ideas. They can dream up wild schemes to get through things
Accumulators – The hit out at breaking point and become very single focussed and controlling
Lords – The focus on bringing people together to solve issues – The focus on leading through their knowledge
Mechanics – Begin to trade and negotiate deals in a systematic fashion
It was a great few days and thanks to those that attended and supported. I would like to mention Judith Patterson who found a way to become a salesperson for her business. Judith has www.positivelifebalance.com a business which uses amazing technology I have personally experienced in transformation. I also saw her on a bus in India stop a bleeding nose by pulling a finger. Judith knows amazing information and I hope she can know get better at selling it.
Also in the room was Eva-Maria Salikhova a 19 year old best selling author of ‘You Shut Up’ a book about teenage relationships with parents. An amazing talent she is now the acting President of the Wellington Chapter of the National Speakers Association…. WOW.
Following the meetings we went off to Waiheke Island for the Rock Your Life planning meetings where were joined by the RYL board. We are launching a publishing company, media company, travel company www.souljourneys.co.nz and talent management company.
We are looking for collaborative partners so if you have something extraordinary to offer then talk to us. We are also investigating a way to get massive funding to our charity The SAGE Foundation and really want to congratulate Maya Shahani our chairperson for winning the 2009 Extraordinary Life award. Well done Maya www.thesagefoundation.com
Get on board the Rock Your Life fan club on facebook to keep up to date. Next two weeks I am in Australia with damian Milo and Glen Levy on Tour, check out www.fortuneevents.com.au for times and dates.
Having just returned from taking our group to Rock Your World – Mexico we learnt many things.
- The strength of the mexican military might. On anniversary day we saw 20,000 soldiers parading and they were fully kitted, tanks, bombs, guns and all new kit, funded by…you guessed it…teh good ol USA
- Not a sign of Swine Flu, but the mexican economy is really suffering, tourism is 10% of normal levels, and the economy is shot. Carlos Slim the mexican billionaire at one point the 2nd wealthiest in the world is now back in the pack. Who wanted him there?
- The fear factor of Mexico which is representative of the planet is best summed up below.
We are filming at Chichen Itza on the Yucatan Peninsula, Dave Rogers and I are on camera. The minute we call it a wrap over walks security questioning us about our intentions. They were not happy with us filming. We inveited them to join our group for a healing ceremony at the temple and they stood back while the whole group partook in a very sacred ceremony. It was hot and sunny. As we finished I noticed there were now 5 security around us. They marched Dave, myself, Will our cameraman and our interpreter Lilian off to the management, they had phoned Mexico City and the police about us. We tried to discuss what we were doing but they didnt want to know. As the discussion got heated I heard thunder overhead and a huge rainstorm unleashed. We agreed to erase the film, they grumbled but agreed and we left. When we got outside the rain had cleared and we had cleansed the sacred ground, battled with the elements and everyone was a lot clearer. Amazing how what happens externally reflects internally.
The Chichen Itza police are over the top. There were all of about 100 tourists on site on the fall solstice. They normally get 70,000. The country is realing from the effects of the so called swine flu and they are being forceful and militant. I wouldn’t return to Chichen Itza. The energy there is still dark, like the clouds. Uxmal is much clearer, as is Monte Alban or Teothaucan.
Lesson for the week:
- I don’t like being disliked. Something I have to address because its part of what I do sometimes
- I love Mexican people, the passion, the music, the food…its incredible
- Sometimes I need to give in to get ahead. The minute we gave in at Chichen Itza, we were allowed to go. It could have been a lot worse.
Im in Los Angeles today and due a feat of modern technology we held the first 11:11 radio show or audio zine as I prefer. My co-host Dave Rogers was live from Changi airport in Singapore and our guests Hilary Carter was in Mexico City and Vincent J Barra was in Palm Springs. Go check out these guys, they are amazing.
www.hilarycarter.com
www.vincentmyfuture.com
Vincent gave insights that everyone is psychic, its just practice to hone the skills, just like you would practice anything. He suggested playing with cards and guessing which card comes next until you build a pattern. He did a reading live on air for Hilary, whom he had never met and it was incredible. He told Hilary her home was very unique and had many past lives of her own in it. There was incredible energy there. Hilary lives in an ancient convent in France in which she already realises she has been their many lives before this one.
Hilary wrote the book we named the show after: ‘the 11:11 code’. Basically 11:11 is the transformation number and we could tell we hit a spot of interest as callers came through with questions from New York, Vancouver, Indonesia, Australia, UK, Malaysia and New Zealand. We had numerous callers whose birth number is 11. Just add up the numbers of your birth. EG. 3/8/1962
3 +8 +1+9+6+2 = 29
2+9 = 11
These people have a huge role to play over the next few years as we spin toward 2012. If your numbers ad up, you should do something about it. Maybe email info@rockyourlife.net is a good start.
Hilary said Intuition is just knowing in every sense of your being. How many times have you ignored that? Isn’t it time to stop?
Thanks to all those who showed up or downloaded the show. On Oct 11 we have Don Tolman – a global expert on time and Robyn Pearce, world leader on time management.
Mike’s learning for this week. – Always trust your intuition and always practice your psychic powers. We all have them. In this Millennium twice as many as the 1990’s and growing everyday. If you think its odd to do this these days, then you are probably the odd one.
So this is what’s new this week. Firstly I am changing the title of my blog from lead an extraordinary life to whatever suits on the week. That way I am told it will get more hits. You may wonder what the number is in the title, its the week and year of the blog.
I returned from Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday. I was meant to be back Sunday but after 5 years of constant travel I read my boarding pass wrong meaning I was sitting in the noodle bar at KLIA while my plane choofed off down the runway. Ha Ha. That mistake has got me more comments on facebook than anything else.
I got back just in time to speak to the Warehouse Group in Auckland. 400+ of their management together on their summit. What an impressive company. They have got it together and here is why.
- Excellently led by Ian Morris a scotsman with a great sense of humour but passionate and committed to the task
- the senior management play as a team. First time I have really seen it. For example they have the GM Finance as the MC, and he did a great job. The managements presentations involved humour, a fun poke at themselves and even some costuming
- they really do care about their staff. It’s not a family, families can be disfunctional…its more of a sports team approach where everyone is supporting the others
- Founder Sir Stephen Tindall, whom I sat with at dinner, said that his knighthood was everyone’s and he really meant it. He knew people’s names and I watched him ask about their children and families
- Over 30 people in the room I counted with ten years service, each one I spoke saying its been a ride but a great one. A real bond and feeling of solidity
So here’s some questions for you this week.
Who have you not said thank you to that you are well overdue to?
Who has been loyal and a champion of yours who needs recognition?
What can you do to really bond your management and get them working together as a team?
Where is the sense of fun in what you do? Do you still experience it. If not why not?
There are some cool lessons that I learn from working with groups such as this and that is why I love what I do. Even got to play a bit of guitar with them so that was fun as well. Make this week extraordinary. I am planning as I am off to Mexico next week. Stay tuned.
is playing Quantum games with Emily, think of a word the other person doesn't know and let them guess it. She got Chinook for goodness sake. 3 weeks ago
Hi cyber world. This is a new style blog for me. Many of you out there realise we have completed our 80 min feature film, DREAMCATCHERS, but now what do we do with it?
Hilary Carter
