One of my 2007 goals was to travel through Asia. It has just manifested – albeit two weeks into 2008.
Today, I met with Roger James Hamilton, author and creator of Wealth Dynamics. Roger asked be if I would be interested in going on a speaking tour of Asia in March to promote the XL Results Foundation – a foundation of entrepreneurs dedicated to giving back. As a Life Member of this extraordinary foundation, I was thrilled at the opportunity to share it with others.
When I asked him where he had in mind, he replied “Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and India!”
I tried to conceal my delight and blurted out “Look no further. You have found the man for the job!”
Minutes later, I was marveling at how the Universe delivers my intentions to me as soon as I let go of them. Over and over, this principle has proven itself to me. Read the rest of this entry »
Petr Muzik is an extraordinary man. Not only is he my father, but he has just returned from fulfilling his life long dream – to sail around the world on his yacht, ‘Shoestring’.
For many years, my dad had a goal of sailing around the world. He built three yachts in our back yard as I was growing up. His last yacht, ‘Shoestring 3’, took him 15 years to build, between raising a family and running a business.
Some people thought Petr would never set sail, but in 2005, my dad set to sea for what would become a three year epic journey that changed his life forever.
Tragedy struck one month out to sea when Roy, my step brother, was killed in a motorcycle accident and my dad had to turn around and sail one month back to Cape Town for the funeral. However, by the time he arrived in Cape Town, he had to postpone his trip for another year, waiting for the trade winds to blow again.
Having sold his house and car to go sailing around the globe, my Dad and his partner May, lived aboard Shoestring in Cape Town harbor until the trade winds returned one year later.
Undeterred, they left Cape Town for South America, traveled through the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean and on to New Zealand and Indonesia. From there, he crossed the Indian Ocean where his boat was shipwrecked in a coral atoll called Cocos Keeling.
In the middle of the night, anchored in a small bay in paradise, the wind changed and threw Shoestring onto a coral reef. Water flooded the boat and Shoestring began to sink. Miraculously, there was a boat anchored nearby who had a generator and a pump (Shoestring’s pumps could not cope with the rate of water coming in) and came to the rescue. During the shipwreck, the rudder had broken off and the propeller was so damaged that Petr had to cut it off with a hacksaw. Things were not looking good. Shoestring had sustained intense damage and was now left with a hole in the side of the boat, no propeller, no rudder and a bent keel!
Again undeterred, my dad pulled the boat into shallow water and waited for the tide to go out. He then had a 6 hour window in which to repair the holes in the hull. Amazingly, with the help of some fellow yachtsmen, they slowed the leaking down to a manageable level. Now, all they needed was a rudder and they could limp home across the Indian Ocean.
Miraculously, one of my Dad’s crew found an old catamaran rudder lying in a bush on the coral atoll!!! What are the chances? It was as if god had reached down and placed the rudder there just for ShoestringDad attached the rudder to Shoestring and sailed for 30 days across the Indian Ocean, finally completing his amazing trip in December 2007. The sailing community put him on the cover of Sailing Magazine, acknowledging his accomplishment.
The moral of this story in the words of my father: “If you have a dream, just do it!”
Watch this fascinating video interview with my dad and hear the story from the horse’s mouth with photographs too.
Well, almost… Actually, we manifested taking one of South Africa’s biggest radio stations off the airwaves and replacing it with another one, which was interviewing us at the time.
This must be one of the biggest ‘miracles’ I have ever had the privilege of being involved in.
When I was studying Mind Power techniques with Dr Tony Quinn in Italy, one of the things that really struck me was how powerful relaxation can be in allowing the human body to function at its optimum level of performance. In fact, if it were not for the fact that most people are stressed out, we would all be naturally operating in optimum states.
If you take a look at nature, you will never find nature stressed out! Nature does not get stressed out. If anything, nature is chilled out. It seems that if we look around us in nature, we see that nature does not resist. Nature, in fact, seems very relaxed. Trees sway in the wind, plants grow effortlessly, animals naturally migrate to more appropriate climates, and the ebb and flow of life occurs in a very relaxed and ordered manner.
For some reason, human beings, although also a part of nature, do not seem to display these wonderfully relaxed characteristics. However, research is showing us that in a relaxed state, the human body can do things that conventional medicine would consider a miracle. It can heal itself naturally.
In the same way that relaxing the mind allows our body to operate at its full potential, so relaxing into the flow of life allows the universe to express its full potential through us.
When we begin to relax into life, we allow the universe to naturally bring us the opportunities, people and circumstances that we need to accomplish everything we have set out to accomplish in our lives.
I would go as far as to say that relaxation is the master key to successful manifesting. Only when we are immensely relaxed, can we leave the universe alone for long enough for the universe to deliver our desires to us. When we are stressed, we think are so many opposing thoughts to what we want, then we end up wishing a way the very thing that we want to attract without realizing what we are doing.
I have made relaxation part of my daily routine, and the results have been astounding. I have had miracle after miracle sharp in my life as a result of my daily relaxations.
I recommend that you try it too. If you have trouble relaxing or visualizing, you have to check out the relaxation for manifestation recording that I’ve created. Watch the video and then click the link below.
Why is it that the best miracles are always the longest to type out? This week’s miracle starts in Africa and ends in Bali.
Four years ago, I met his Royal Highness, Prince Cedza Dlamini, Prince of Swaziland and grandson of Nelson Mandela. He had flown from Boston, USA to Cape Town to meet me as he had heard that I was living as the only white man in a black African township (shanty town). Prince Cedza and I quickly became good friends…
Fast forward four years. A few days ago, I was checking out of the beautiful Vision Villas (Roger Hamilton’s resort in Bali). My Dad, who has been sailing around the world for 4 years on his yacht had not had his feet on dry land for a while, so I treated him to a week in this magnificent resort. We were the only people there for the entire week we stayed there. The night before we left, my Dad asked me if I was still in contact with Prince Cedza. “Yes”, I replied, “but not often enough”.
On the last day in the resort, as I was checking out, a beautiful American woman appeared at the hotel. She introduced herself as Flo (an apt name, I noted, especially considering Roger Hamilton’s work is all about Flow and we were in his resort) and I joked with her that she could have at least had the courtesy to arrive a few days earlier, not when we were checking out! We laughed and she noticed my South African accent.
“A friend of mine is South African” she said to me. In fact, he is a Prince. “Really”, I replied. “Is his name Prince Cedza?” I asked playfully, not expecting her to know what I meant. “Yes!” she exclaimed, “Nelson Mandela’s grandson!”
At this point, my jaw dropped at the coincidence. I asked her how she knew Prince Cedza and she said that she had met him at a conference in Bali the previous year and that she was here to attend the conference again this year. As she said those words, it dawned on her that she had forgotten to tell me something important…
“In fact, Prince Cedza is the main speaker at this year’s conference and he lands in Bali tonight!” Read the rest of this entry »
I met Jaime at a Train The Trainer course in January 2007 and by the end of the course, I was thinking “Jeez, this woman is awesome! I have to lead a seminar with her.” She seemed to light up when I mentioned the idea, so we created a Blueprinting CD together to manifest co-leading a seminar. I listened to the CD for a month, and 4 months later, we led our first seminar together. Easy Peezy.
A Blueprinting CD is a CD I record especially to manifest a BIG goal that is important to me. I generally listen to them for a month each and then move on and make another one. Usually, my goal manifests in some form within 3 months. Blueprinting is really the most powerful way to manifest anything as far as I am concerned. I have not found another method that tops it for speed, magic and effortlessness.
Another 1st was that the Designer Life seminar came of age and grew to a 2 day extravaganza of fun learning and manifesting miracles. Ta Da!
Here is some of the feedback we got…
“The Designer Life Workshop is definitely NOT just another Seminar – this one is special. The information is presented in many different formats and Bruce & Jaime’s enthusiasm is through the roof. I loved it and gained so much clarity in order to live a bigger life. The teaching style used advanced methods to help increase retention up to 80% so I can guarantee that this will not be filed in another worthless notebook. Thanks so much for this life changing event.” – Clint Gray, London
“It was mind-blowing. I discovered how much of an impact I can have on people and the self-esteem boost really made me feel happy. I feel more organized and more confident about my life journey and I leave with tools that I can use. I not only got to meet so many vibrant people who I deeply connected with but I got to release many insecurities that have been brewing for a ling time. Thank you so much!” – Sophie Grenham, UK
“Dear Bruce & Jaime. Totally blown away with the level of professionalism you demonstrated over the course of the weekend. It is one thing to have great content (which you have!) and another thing entirely to deliver it in a way that it can be absorbed into the hearts and minds of participants. You make a great team on stage & your energies compliment each other brilliantly. I look forward to continue to watch your stars soar!” – Damien Senn, London
During my recent trip to Neapolis, Greece, I bought Kanelli (one of my best friends) a gift - Roger Hamilton’s Wealth Dynamics profiling test. She is at a crossroads in her life and I knew that this test would help her find her most natural path to wealth. The test is a psychometric type test that reveals your most natural path to wealth based on your answers to a 15 minute online questionaire. Having done the Wealth Profile test, Kanelli discovered that she was a STAR profile (read more about Wealth Profiling).
So she could learn even more, I lent her Roger Hamilton’s groundbreaking book, Your Life Your Legacy to read more about her Wealth Profile. I hardly heard a peep from her for the rest of the day because she was so absorbed in what she was learning. The next day she had to leave for Athens, and to my frustration, she took the book with her without asking (this book is my Bible for creating wealth and I read it all the time). Later, she told me she would post it back to me in London when she had finished reading it.
A few days later, I arrived back in London and found not one, but TWO brand new copies of Your Life Your Legacy in my postbox waiting for me. It turns out that Roger Hamilton’s organization had sent Adele and I two copies of the book as a welcome gift to their Life Membership package we have just purchased!!!
Incredible synchronicity… Two days prior, my book was ‘borrowed’ from me, leaving me bookless. Today, I get two new copies. I just got off the phone with Kanelli and told her the amazing story. Now she can keep my old book for herself. Win Win.
Abundance is everywhere and if you give from a place of abundance, you tend to get a whole lot more back…
A few years ago, I moved into Guguletu, a black South African shanty town, as the only white man in a community of 100000 black Africans. I did this to conquer my fear of black South Africans which I had been conditioned with during the apartheid years. I lived there for 6 months and it was one of the turning points of my life. I am currently writing a book telling the story of my amazing time there.
Last New Years Eve, a bunch of friends and I were goalsetting at the beautiful Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town. One of my goals for 2007 was that my book is a New York Times bestseller.
A few months ago I recieved an email from a company called www.thankgodi.com. They are realeasing a book of gratitude short stories and asked me to contribute to the book. I was on tour in South Africa when I received the email and only got around to answering it last week. I called Amanda at www.ThankGodI.com and she told me that they already had hundreds of stories and books were filling fast, and that the first book was already in editing.
I was dissapointed, thinking that I had missed my chance at having my story featured in the book, however Amanda asked me to tell her my story to her anyway. When I came to the end, she said to me “Would you like to be featured in the 1st book alongside John DiMartini and Michael Beckwith (both from the movie The Secret)? I like your story so much, I’ll find a way to squeeze your story into the 1st book, even though it is full. This book is going to be even bigger than The Secret!”
I was awestruck. It then dawned on me that when this book does become bigger than The Secret, it will be a New York Times no.1 bestseller and my story will be featured in it! Remembering my New Year’s resolution to have a New York Times bestseller, I got goosebumps all over my body.
I teach manifesting and I experience miracles on a weekly, if not daily basis, but I am still stunned every time they happen.
Watch this space for more details. Rock on, the Universe!
My dream to live in a community with like minded people by the sea came true on Easter weekend, just 4 weeks after creating a Blueprint CD outlining exactly this scene.
Last week, I was saying to Donna (my agent in South Africa) that I really need to buy a motorcycle in South Africa, but it seems like a waste to only use it for the few weeks of the year that I am there…
Well, during my Johannesburg Designer Life seminar, where I teach people how to manifest using the Law Of Attraction, a man, Chris, approached me and told me her ran a bike shop and that he would give me any motorcycle in the shop for the weekend if I spoke to his staff over breakfast. Another effortless manifestation.
Today, I went to breakfast with Chris (owner of Planet Moto), Jasmine (his wife) and the Planet Moto staff. In exchange for the Benelli, I spent 90 minutes teaching the Planet Moto staff about Wealth Dynamics and NLP and how they apply to life and sales.
Chris then took me back to the Planet Moto shop and let me choose any bike in the shop to take for the weekend. I chose the Benelli Tre 900 – a red Italian beast. She is the most beautiful bike I have ever ridden. 900cc of fun delivered via three cylinders…
As I roared out of Cape Town heading towards Riebeek Kasteel, I laughed hysterically at the magic of life, the power of this amazing bike and how effortlessly I had manifested her. Chris and I have now agreed that I will consult with his business in exchange for bikes when I am in Cape Town. What a win win deal!
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...
