When you mainfest something you reach into the world of imagination where is was first conceivd and pull it into existence in the physical, tangible world.
If you don't like your current circumstances, examine your thoughs, for they created teh current reality though manifestation.
Think positive thoughts intensely. No thought lives in your brain rent free. The more intense the thought, the more powerful the outcome. Grow enthusiastic images boldly. Speak only wonderful words to yourself constantly. Feel wonderful - NOW. Like a magnet you attract the resources necessary to manifest the world you desire.

Day 70 and 69 My philosophy for business,
Back to basics, - My philosophy for business - Head down, watch the ball. Pray as if success depends on God, then go to work as if success depends on me, and quickly figure out what works and what doesn't.

Day 71 4 Millionaire mountains
The four millionaire mountains are The internet, The stock market, Business, Real Estate. The odds are that if you make a million dollars, it's through one or a combination of these mountains.
Tonight I spent time with a friend learning to pick Mutual funds. The point being to obtain a return of 10% per year for 56 years by putting away 1dollar or Euro per day. With compounding, this equals 1 million dollars. A goal is a to have picked a portfolio in 3 weeks time.
This sets the definitive path to 1m dollars, and mentally it goes from "if I become a millionaire", to "when I become a millionaire". Sure it's 56 years away, but once on the path you can work out ways to bring the length of time down.

Day 72 The Millionaire Idea
It starts as a hunch and becomes a possible economic engine to make you a million dollars. EAch mllion starts as an idea in someone's head. But then you have to act on it.
Mine is to buy a gold mine, with someone else's money and take a 5% sweat equity stake, and 5% of $70m is $3.5m. Simple right, well I have the mine I really believe in it, but now I need the money. Day 72 baby, lets go.
It's impotant to have some other ideas to go with the mine one:
1. Company buyout. Pharma - Eurodrug in Holland. Do a South African Deal and be ready to do the deal with Mr Gulik in 1.5 years time.
2. Do a JV with Reggie in Brazil. I'm sure I could raise capital for a business in Brazil. Will need to set up an offshore subsidiary for this. Action Bryn.
3. Start a business with Glen in SA - Security.
4. Car dealership in Zambia
Started my bank account today as Director of Addvest BV. Felt great.

Throw your heart over the bar and your body will follow. Day 74
I started the day with a quote from Howard Shultz. "I want to inspire people to pursue their dreams. I come from common roots with no silver spoon, no pedigree, no early mentors. I dared to dream big dreams, and then willed them to happen"
Howard Shultz - CEO of Starbucks in his book 'Pour your heart into it'
Today I poured my heart into it. And tomorrow I'll wake up early, go to gym and pour my heart into it again. Thought about my economic engine. Working for Shell, nothing was about money. It was about influence, networking, hard work (sometimes), and being seen by the right people at the right time. Now it's all about money. Hard and fast, you eat what you kill. So my engine long term is equity in tens of businesses. My engine short term is find a turn around CEO/GM position to cut my teeth on preferably one that I buy, but alternatively potential leads are Mazars, E&Y, PWC and Mr Moskovitz. Will send my CV to all four tomorrow. Next prize is 2 to 3 days/ week on average of consulting. Have a meeting friday with &Samhoud, who want to open an office in JHB. A prompting was also to contact Glen who wanted to start a business in RSA. All good leads will report back.
Gold mines are also looking good. I need to get in front of high nett worth individuals with the gold mine deal. It's what howard Shultz did with Starbucks, and they believed him. Persevere, it will come through. If God be for us, who can be against us?

He had 90 days, day 75
On 13 August I negotiated the first right of refusal for 90 days on a Gold mine. No literally a Gold mine - with shafts, headgear and miners. So if I can raise $6m by November 13th, we're in business. This blog is inspired by the Robert Allen book the One Minute Millionaire where the character, Michelle has to earn $1m in cash within 90 days to redeem her children, otherwise lose them forever.
The book goes on to explain that acquiring enlightened wealth (there is a difference between plain wealth and enlightened wealth - which I'm happy to explain during the course of my 90 days) or other achievements requires a compelling 'why?' rather than a 'how?'. The hypothesis is that if we have passed high school (also questionable), we have enough knowledge to create the 'how?', but without the compelling why, many of us start the journey but do not finish. The rejection becomes too much, or what people (could be well meaning friends and family) say dissuades us. Or even the effort required becomes too much.
A quote goes "Throw your heart over the bar and your body will follow", and the point is - find out what motivates you and use it to develop that fire in the belly.
I'm happy to share my 'why?' on this forum. Why do I want GBP1m? Because I can, as a first response, and also I think it's alot of fun trying. I have travelled to Mozambique twice, Johannesburg 6 times, Capetown twice, Durban twice, Houston, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, New York, London 3 times, Manchester twice, Zimbabwe in the last 8 months.
But even deeper, I want to provide for my family the things which they want as well as need. Great education, phenomenal vacations, and a dream home as well as transport (I have always had a thing about a red Shelby Mustang with white racing stripes).
Even deeper still I have a desire to give back, to have the satisfaction of taking someone with potential and mentoring them to achieve success. But I have to do it first of course - and that seems to be a trick.
Why a trick? - because I have known hard work, and hard work alone is not the key. Smart work and hard work combined I hear you say, but I think I have known smart work too. There needs to be conguence between Belief, Desire and Self Esteem. If deep down one believes money is bad and that rich people are skelms (South African word for 'bad people'), there is internal conflict between desire and belief which may sabotage one's efforts no matter now hard one works or how smart one is. This and other aha's will be shared during my 90 journey on this blog.
I begin by admitting that I can at times be a complex beast, with my wife often perplexed as to what to think about my antics. But one thing she can never claim is that our life is boring.
Oh 75 days left - not a moment to lose.
