Is getting the life of your dreams turning out to be harder than you thought it would be?
If you’re still dreaming of one day living the good life, you’ve possibly fallen prey to the single most common mistake I see people making when creating their designer life.
Before I dive in though, allow me to explain how I define a ‘designer life’.
In it’s simplest form, a designer life is a life that you customize to meet your ideal criteria in every area of life. As I define it, it includes having the freedom to do whatever you choose whenever you choose. There’s more to it, but for the sake of simplicity, let’s use this definition for the moment.
The Biggest Mistake People Make Is…
WAITING…
Waiting is the killer of all great ideas and probably the most common mistake that stops people taking action towards creating their dream life now and actually fulfilling their dreams.
“Waiting is only one measure above death” – Werner Erhard
Although its great to dream of one day owning a mansion overlooking the sea, a red Ferrari, sporting 6-pack abs and being married to Mr Right, you’re probably not going to get all of those things in the next 7 days.
So, here’s how you can you begin living your designer life today, without waiting for your dreams to arrive in the future?
Ask yourself this, “What is it about the things I want that make me feel good?”
Continuing the example above, you may answer:
being able to see the sea from my bedroom
having a car that turns heads and thrills me to drive
having a healthy, fit body
having a loving relationship
Now, take a moment and do the math. When you add up the monthly cost for you to actually do and have the things that make you feel good, I expect you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
You can have all of the things that make you feel good now, without having to own a mansion or a Ferrari. I’m not suggesting that you give up on your dreams. I am suggesting that you can afford your dream lifestyle right now in some shape or form and you don’t have to wait for it.
So, get busy living it now, rather that waiting for your dream life to arrive someday in the future.
Watch the video below.
I interviewed this man earlier this year. He’s 70 years old and decided to stop waiting and follow his dream of sailing around the world. He also happens to be my father…
Watch this video, it’s inspiring…
So remember, your dream lifestyle is closer than you think, if you quit waiting for it.
Till next week, keep Living (with a capital L)

What an exciting weekend I just had. I’ve just got home from my first ever book signing at the Agape Spiritual Centre in Los Angeles.
That’s me in the middle holding my book (with 9 of the other authors) >>>
In December 2006, on New Year’s Eve, I met up with 4 of my close friends and we set our goals for 2007. One of my goals was to have a book published and have it go to #1 on the NY Times bestseller list. Well, the first part just got ticked off, now for the second…
The book, titled “Thank God I…” is a compilation of 47 inspirational short stories about regular people overcoming extraordinary circumstances. Each story is entitled “Thank God I…” e.g. “Thank God I Was Raped” and “Thank God I Went Bankrupt” etc…
My story in the book tells the tale of how I spent SIX months living as the only white man in an African township (shanty town). It just got published in a book called “Thank God I…”
My story is called “Thank God I Was A Racist” and is an honest account of how I overcame my racial conditioning that I inherited while growing up in apartheid South Africa by moving to Gugletu. Guguletu (population 100,000) is a shanty town 15 km outside Cape Town. After SIX months of living there as the only white man, any predjudice I had moving in was completely gone. It was a defining expereince in my life.
You can get yourself a copy at Amazon and read these 47 inspiring stories. We (the authors) need all the help we can get making this book reach #1 on the NY Times bestseller list, so please tell all your friends about it too and help us make this book a bestseller.
This is the 4th in my series of lessons on finding your wealth effortlessly.
I was having coffee the other night with an old friend, Ash. He said something that startled me. “Bruce, I know you teach about creating wealth, but I always have ENOUGH TO GET BY, so wealth doesn’t interest me.”
I resisted the urge to grab Ash by the shoulders and shake some sense into him. Instead, I relied “Well, if you want to continue to just GET BY, then by all means, go ahead. But, if you want to live the ‘GOOD LIFE’ and really contribute to making the world a better place, you are going to need some money.”
Now, I’m the first to teach that money can’t buy you HAPPINESS. However, it CAN buy you some pretty cool things, like FREEDOM and TIME.
FREEDOM and TIME are things that Ash values highly, so why did he say that creating WEALTH didn’t interest him?
LIES, MYTHS and DECEIT
Many of us were brought up to believe that making money has to be hard work – that it requires sacrifice or being unscrupulous. So if MONEY can’t buy you HAPPINESS and is going to require HARD WORK, SACRIFICE and possibly being UNSCRUPULOUS, then why would anyone waste their time trying to make money?
This is the BIG LIE that so many people LIKE Ash have bought into and it is this lie that is probably also keeping YOU financially stuck too. Why? Because if this lie is a part of your WEALTH BLUEPRINT (your unconscious beliefs around money), your unconscious mind, attempting to protect you, will not allow you anywhere near money for too long, before it creates a circumstance to make sure that you return to ‘just getting by’.
Last week I wrote to about how life becomes a holiday when you take what you love to do and turn it into your vocation. To give you an example of an original way to do this, I’d like to introduce you to a great man and good friend of mine who has turned his passion for climbing mountains and making a difference into a career.
Right now, he is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro while leading a personal development seminar. Yes, you did read that correctly! Just as I learned lessons from riding my motorcycle through India and the Himalayas, he had some breakthroughs while climbing Kilimanjaro.
He is a multi-millionaire and philanthropist, and he decided to share his formula for success with others by using Mount Kilimanjaro as a metaphor for life. So, each year he climbs Kilimanjaro with 12 students where they are challenged to overcome the snow, rain, wind, cold, altitude sickness and exhaustion, not to mention the mental barriers one has to break through to reach the summit.
So who is this man? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Eric Edmeades… Eric, originally from Canada, is a shining example of taking one’s passion and turning it into a vocation. Every day Eric wakes up on Kilimanjaro feels like a holiday.
I hope this story inspires you. I’ll share more of them with you over the coming months. Till then, have another miraculous day,
Would you like each day to feel like a holiday? If so, read on…
Yesterday, I rode my motorcycle through four countries from London to Amsterdam to surprise my wife, Adele, who is in Amsterdam on business.
Over breakfast, one of her colleagues asked me what work I was going to do today…
“Well, first I’m going to write a newsletter to my Moving Mountains subscribers. Then I’m going to film a video lesson for my blog on one of the canals in Amsterdam and then I’m going to set up my portable recording studio and finish recording my next CD product, Mind Mastery 101.”
His face was visibly surprised. “That’s not work!” he exclaimed. As I left breakfast, I gave thanks that my work feels like play to me.
I believe that a fundamental part of being successful is being able to wake up each day and do the things you love to do. Work then feels like play. Once you figure out how to successfully make a fortune from your playing, life takes on a whole new dimension. This usually doesn’t happen overnight though. You have to prove yourself first by earning the right to success. Today’s lesson is all about what it takes to earn that right.
BULLET SCHOOL LESSON #3: The courage to get back in the saddle.
I watched, beaming with pride as Adele crossed her first river. Her submerged exhaust gurgled in a cloud of steam that trailed behind her as she navigated her bike through the rocky river. Two meters before she reached the other side, she hit a submerged rock and her Bullet fell on top of her in knee high water (watch the video below).
Still wet and in shock, Adele got back in the saddle and rode for another 10 minutes before pulling over complaining of an excruciating pain in her foot. It turned out that she had fractured her foot during the fall and could no longer use it to change gears.
She burst into tears, more from disappointment than from pain. She had come all this way, spent so much time and money preparing and only three days into our trip, it was already over for her. She spent the rest of the day in the ambulance.
The next morning, Adele showed me her foot. It was swollen and black with bruising. I nodded my head gravely as if to say, “Tough luck, honey…” One thing I know about my wife is that if you tell her not to do something, she becomes even more determined to do it.
She looked at me with disgust and said, “I didn’t come all the way to the Himalayas to ride in a bloody ambulance! Pass me my boots please…” She screamed in agony as we persuaded her fractured and swollen foot into her damp bike boot. I piggy backed her to her bike and between us, we figured out a way for her to change gears using her heel instead of her foot. As long as she did not put any weight on her fractured foot, she might just be able to ride.
That day, 30 bikers rode through some of the toughest terrain known to man (the Himalayan Mountains). Adele was one of them. She fell off many more times, but each time she chose to climb back on her Bullet. Nine days later, not only was she the only woman to cross the finish line, she was still the only woman on the trip.
Adele is no different from you and I. She is an ordinary person with an extra-ordinary commitment to being successful at whatever she does. Her story contains many powerful metaphors:
- BE CREATIVE: Through finding a way to change gears with her ankle, she learned that there is always a creative solution to any problem. You just need to be willing to look for it.
- BE COURAGEOUS: She learned that the only prerequisite to success is finding the courage to get back in the saddle and continue riding. Life works in the same way.
- KEEP FOCUSSED ON YOUR DREAM: She completed the trip because she never gave up on her dream of riding through the Himalayas, even when it was extremely painful to keep going. If you are willing to keep going, even when the going get’s tough, success will follow you wherever you go.
- USE A TEAM: 30 bikers rallied together to help her complete the 12 day trip. She never would have finished had she tried to do it on her own. Make sure you have a team supporting you. Otherwise, success can be hard and lonely.
Next time you face a disaster, will your dreams become yet another casualty of war, or will you get back in the saddle and ride off into the sunset? Choose.
If you choose the ambulance, in two years time, your life will probably look the same as it does now.
If you keep choosing the saddle, you will eventually reach a point where each day feels like a holiday, as you live the life of your dreams.
I pride myself on being a safe motorcyclist, but after 10 days of tearing up the Himalayas on some of the roughest roads known to man, I was getting cocky with my Bullet and riding faster than I should have been.
Having just visited the Baralachala pass (the 2nd highest pass in the world at 5000m above sea level), I was racing down the snow covered mountain looking forward to a hot bath at my hotel at Jispa.
Suddenly, the tar road turned into dirt track. Normally, this would not have been a problem, except that this time I was hurtling forward at 80km/h heading straight towards a concrete roadblock just 50 meters away!
Slowing down on dirt road is a tender affair. One almost has to almost stroke the bike into submission. If one grabs the front brake lever even slightly too ambitiously, the front wheel will lock up and skid. Unfortunately, if I did not brake in time, I was going to end up much like the insects that were splattered on my visor.
Time slowed down as the roadblock came closer and closer. Contrary to my natural instinct, my arms relaxed their grip on the handlebars and my unconscious mind took over steering the bike. I felt as if I had been temporarily ejected out of my body and somebody else was steering for me while I watched…
There was no time to think or brake. The only option was to attempt to persuade my Bullet to somehow go around the roadblock. I had about 5 seconds left before I would become dinner for the local vultures.
I knew that if I jerked the handlebars even slightly, I would lose traction and skid, so I did the only thing any sane man would do in this situation – nothing! Well, almost nothing….
I focused my attention on the right edge of the concrete block in the road and miraculously my Bullet began drifting to the right hand side of the road. Inch by inch and what seemed like hours later, I scraped past the roadblock, missing it by millimeters. I still do not know how I made it out alive, but that evening as I sat around a campfire warming my hands, I reflected on some valuable lessons this experience taught me about biking and about living.
Bullet School Lesson #2: When the sheet hits the fan, relax…
When it looks like you are going to crash, relax your grip on the handlebars and focus on your escape route, not on the obstacle in front of you. Your bike goes where your focus goes.
My experience shows me that life works in the same way.
When the sheet hits the fan and I don’t know what to do, I step back and observe the situation, take a deep breath and relax. The minute I relax and let go of having to control the outcome of my challenging situation, a solution usually presents itself to me. I equate this to loosening my grip on the handlebars and allowing my unconscious mind to step in and guide the bike for me.
Next, I choose the outcome I want and I place my attention on making that happen using every ounce of focus that I have. Before long, if I have managed to stick with this process, my solution has blossomed and I am over the worst of the problem.
If you are facing some challenges right now, why not step back a little, take a deep breath in and assess your situation from a distance. Then, choose the outcome you desire and place your focus on making that happen. Be sure to focus on the solution and not on the problem. Visualizing your desired outcome will help you stay focused on it.
Above all, remember to relax. When trees are being blown about by a storm wind, they do not resist the wind. They flex and bend to accommodate the wind until it passes. If they did not, the wind would uproot them.
If you can relax and flex like the trees when the wind is blowing your life around, before long your storm will pass and you’ll wonder what you were worried about…
Till then, have a miraculous day.
Bruce
P.S. Next time you encounter a biker, use the following lingo and appear cool: “Grab a handful” refers to pulling the front brake lever hard. “Throwing it down the road” means to lose control of your bike and go sliding down the road with it.
Combine them for added effect “Last week I saw some dude grab a handful and throw it down the road!”
I was recently interviewed as a guest teacher in the awesome "Meet The Giants" program. If you are an entrepreneur, I highly recommend you go check it out. It's dirt cheap too...
