About 3 months ago I decided to move to Cyprus. I went to see Mark Vurnum in November for some consultancy and kind of really liked the place…

Especially the fact that it was sunny and warm in November.

So while I was getting ready I realised that most of our life is based around accumulating things, and I was about to do the opposite – get rid of things, simplify and declutter. Great feeling. Sold my car, gave up a storage unit and gave away all the stuff in there…

Truth is you think you’ll miss that stuff but you actually don’t – at least I don’t. Tom calls it ‘mental ram’ – stuff that takes some of your attention and thinking time up everyday. Every property you own, every thing you possess… it has a ‘maintenance trail’.

I also want to share a statistic regarding how ‘happiness’ and ‘income’ are related. Below $60,000 US there is a direct connection between happiness and income, but guess what happens above? (watch the video to find out more)

Moving out here is showing to my students and friends that you can do what you want if you go after it. The internet lifestyle – is real.

keep your dreams – pursue them

to your success – if this is work, then let’s have some more of it

PS: btw, people asked me about the music at the end of the video. It’s Peppino D’Agostino. Check him out. He is amazing.

PPS: let me know your thoughts, please comment on this post.

I would really ask you to spend a bit of time to do that yourself. Review your 2009 and a little plan for 2010. I don’t want to do that in a heavy way, but just checking what you didn’t like about it 2009 and how to not repeat it in 2010. So if you want 2010 to be different and want to grow as a person – just let yourself know… once you have a little plan – it will be a lot easier to achieve your goals.

as Jim Rohn used to say – ‘Have your own plan or you will become part of someone else’s plan…’

one of my biggest inspiration has passed away on 5th December 2009. Jim was the first person to ever ‘wake me up’ so to say to the potential of life and lofe change… I must have read his book ‘7 strategies for wealth and happiness’ at least 20 times… taking notes like crazy….

His ‘how to have best year ever’ DVD series has really changed my life. He was an amazing man. I never met him in person, but I wanted everyone to know that he meant a lot to me…

I use many of Jim’s examples in my presentations, from the ‘life is like the seasons’ (another excellent book) to many of wonderful bible stories…

He recorded a CD I have where he talks to network marketers… awesome stuff. he talks about the law of sowing and reaping and the law of averages.

Brilliant stuff. I wish there were more of Jims in the world. See it poses the question about which legacy one will leave behind….

thank you Mr Rohn, thank you Jim

one your many million students (not followers

as Jim always said:

James and I wanted to meet Mark V, creator of the incredible system and hang out strategising and talking 2010…

What I loved about it so far: weather, food, making recurring passive income, working in the sunshine…. having some cool dinner conversations and meeting great IM guys….

Back in a few days… question: could you live like this…. I start thinking I could. – To be explored.

James and I both talked a lot about having taken the leap of faith and quitting day jobs to live this amazing new life of choice and freedom! bring it on!

I will be down in Pinewood studios being interviewed for SWAT.tv… they are a online TV station (they are also on sky I think) and they have thousands of viewers… cool!

On the same day – (why is it always on the same day – I got nothing else on next week!) I will be speaking at the yes! group in London…. you can book your ticket for £15 here: http://www.yesgroup.org.uk/index.php?option=com_registrationpro&Itemid=138

weird is that I wanted to speak at the yes! group for over a year… I applied and asked and – NOTHING… then – one day (last week!) I had a reply to one of my broadcast emails (the one which said ‘Why working from home SUCKS …) and they asked ME to speak!

The guys from the yes group titled my talk ‘ From Loser to Inspirational Winner’. LOL. I have 45 minutes and my main outcome is to get everyone there inspired and to believe they can do whatever they want.

I hope to see you there, guys…

PS: Here is a video I did yesterday in Manchester… I have a unusual ‘family’ connection with Manchester… and – it’s not what you think (l0l)

With the launch of Yibbies and the two 3 day workshops coming up I just felt I couldn’t do it justice….

So instead I decided to take my first in many working breaks abroad, embracing the internet lifestyle. I am here with my business partner James and both our partners….

check out the video below and please note: this is NOT a watch me I am so cool I am a millionaire BS…. it’s a concept I would love many more people to try and see how it feels for them…. for me? it feels great!

Btw, the video was done with the new ipod nano… love it… check it out in an apple store near you!

as always, please let me have your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below….

thanks a million for all your wonderful and heartfelt words and your support…. what a ride (and I haven’t even been in the car yet!). I had an amazing time on stage and when I was announced, I really did celebrate! What a cool day it was! So I was thinking how can you benefit from my win?

First of all … if I CAN DO IT – THEN YOU CAN DO IT!

Secondly: I wanted to share a marketing lesson that might come in handy. How did I get so many votes? I don’t know ALL the reasons, but I have recorded a video where I comment on the powerpoint I used and what I did in there to get connection with the people in the audience.

It’s all explained in there…. from opening loops and using metaphors to damaging admissions and using humor. I also create my own currency for the day – and I know it worked because people used it in their conversations….

I have to admit I don’t even know at this stage if I want to keep the car… it’s just so not me…. maybe I drive it for a day when the sun shines….

On a more personal note – this win seems like I have broken a spell or a curse or something. I never won a competition in my life since I was 9 years old and I have PROOF that I am deserving of silly cool things like shiny sports cars…. may this be this beginning of something big and adventurous.

There is also a weird thought pattern I witnessed. I thougt people (Dan B, Marcus who let me re-arrange my slot for Sunday, Rob who had to travel down on Saturday,…) didn’t want me to win and would make life difficult…. but they were all so amazing. I was surprised at the amount of good will I must have accumulated over the years….

So here is the video…. I am sure you will get something out of it…

as always, please leave your comments and suggestions below

to your success

Thanks again to everyone who left a message of support yesterday. The good news is… as you can see from the pictures, Daniel WON!

I’m sure he’ll fill us in on the details when he’s finished celebrating!!

maybe you have the same ‘problem’ – aah – challenge…. I call it the black-spot-syndrom. you have this whole canvas of pure white and there is a tiny black spot – and you obsess about it. you walk into a room with 1000 ceiling lights – and 1 is broken – and you can’t stop seeing it. you do a great job and get 99 things right – yet your ‘little voice’ keeps pointing out the ‘1 thing that you could have done better’. thank you very much!

Sounds familiar? then you need little voice management like I do. It will not go away, but there are a few ways to efficiently learn to deal with it…. I have learned different techniques from different people – from Tony Robbins to Harv Eker to Blair Singer to my spirtual guru of my yoga days…. one thing they all say – you can’t fight it. you got to deal with it. Tony says ‘dance with your fear’, Harv says ‘thank you for sharing’ and Blair has written a whole book with simple strategies to deal with our little voice.

Don’t focus on it, forgive yourself, put it into perspective, talk to others about it, but under no circumstances – take it too seriously.

talk soon – please put 9th October in your diary… I will tell you why very soon

Daniel

PS: When I was in the US a few weeks ago, we learned a great technique: ” ‘name of friend’, I love and respect you and don’t give a d**n what you think about me”

It’s important we don’t make our mood or actions dependent on what others think….

Well, you will have to watch the 1 minute video. In case you are wondering why I look the way I look? It was 7:40 in the morning and the sun was right in my eyes.

to your success

Daniel

PS: I am looking forward to meeting up very soon…. I have my birthday coming up in October and I am planning to invite all of you… I had a great idea while reading the millionaire code. I let you know soon so that you can make arrangements…
