Welcome to my blog!

For some time I’ve been aware that being able to share wealth creation breakthroughs and issues really helps encourage students! It helps you feel part of a very special community (which you are!) – a community that isn’t much evident in the outside world. The M for Mindset in TEM$ is the most important aspect of wealth creation, so keep yours positive, motivated, learning, and talking! Post your blog today!

The impossible is always possible

The challenge

On 2 September 2004, I pledged to make over R10 million before the end of 2009, with an investment of less than R1000, by using the Formula for Riches and the other components of my Amazing Formula for Wealth Creation (Mercedes Principle, Accelerator Principle, the Laws of Wealth Creation).

The TOTAL investment was only R0.79

The auditors have just informed me that after two years and three months the investment is worth R10,067,179!

It is quite clear that I have proven that the so called impossible CAN be done!

I’m very, very excited about this because another of the chains that have been used to keep people “in their place” has been broken!

What does this mean? Let me explain, with the help of a couple of illustrations:

The four minute mile

Until 1954, they said it was impossible for a man to break the four-minute mile barrier. Doctors, sports experts, scientists etc. said the human body simply could not run this fast.

According to our anatomy, we were not meant to break this barrier. For more than nine years prior to 1954, athletes had been trying, and failing.

Then, on 4 June 1954, Roger Bannister broke the barrier.

And suddenly, mankind could run that fast. In less than four minutes, by refusing to accept that limit in his own mind, Roger removed the limit in all our minds. And other people soon followed him.

Today it is an accepted fact that man can run that fast. Just as unquestioned as the old belief that it was impossible. So – how reliable are these facts about life that “everyone knows”?

The Wright brothers

Before the Wright Brothers got their plane off the ground for that first powered flight, people said it was impossible to fly.

They said “If man was meant to fly, God would have given us wings”. And who could argue? Clearly, we were not designed to fly the way birds do.

Then the Wright brothers found a way for mankind to fly, and proved all this “conventional wisdom”, and all this “common sense” quite wrong. Proving that one should ask questions about obvious truths and not just accept what “everyone says”.

And this I see as part of my mission in life: to unlock people’s minds so that they see what they can do!

So why I am so excited about achieving this challenge in less than half the time I gave myself, is because now my students can see that they can achieve their challenges too! Everyone is a little more free now.

All they need to do is accept my invitation to open up their minds and leave those chains behind.
And the most important way in which you can take up my invitation is to throw yourself wholeheartedly into the opportunities the BRS offer you.

It is interesting that just as I achieve my challenge, yours opens up!

The question now is "Will you take up this opportunity or are you just going to sit and watch it go by?"

The Formula For Riches is an amazing tool by Henrico Hanekom

I write this story as an ordinary person.

Nonetheless, after only a few months on the Dr Hannes Dreyer Wealth Creators Mentoring Course course I'm already achieving the extra-ordinary.

I'll be honest, at first I thought that the Formula for Riches was a gimmick and I did not really believe that it was necessary for me to know it in order to achieve success. But when I took a closer look at the formula I realized the truth in it and hence it is a major part of my life.

Growth is one of the things that I've come to learn is very important, through the Formula for Riches. Most of the changes that I am currently experiencing are internal - my perceptions, ideas, beliefs and attitudes.

I know that these internal changes will soon externalize and manifest in the physical world.

You can ask me anytime of the day to write out the formula and I'll do that. I know it off by heart.

But also captured in this formula is an important factor called “Re” (Responsibility). I had to take responsibility for my financial future because just knowing the formula is not enough. I realized that I have to actually take the responsibility, take action and apply the formula to the financial decisions I make.

One of the most powerful moments in my life was when I clicked that my current financial situation is my very own doing, so it is only ME who can change the outcome. My initial thoughts were denial, I ignored the facts and somehow believed that my current financial situation ... just is the way it is.

After Hannes taught me about taking responsibility through utilizing the formula, many things have changed in my life. And I use the word “life” because for me finance is an important part of my life because I see it as a means to an end, one of my goals being abundance in all areas of my life. Hence, the “Re” part of the formula.

As a businessman, I had a fatal perception of risk. I though the more risk I take, the richer I will get. Needless to say, this has only made other people and institutions rich.

The Formula for Riches is helping me see exactly what risk is doing to my investments and I've learnt the importance of being able to calculate risk before making a decision.

I also found an amazing tool in the Formula for Riches that is helping me in all aspects of my life. The tool is the "nm" symbol in the formula and it stands for time and effort or productivity.

Just think about this, guys like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Richard Branson only have 24 hours in their day, just like you and me. They must be very effective and productive to achieve what they do. I need to make the best of the time that I have because according to the formula, it will exponentially affect the outcome and growth on my surplus. This is something that I think about daily and I keep on working at being more effective, using my time and energy wisely.

The value I've got from Hannes’s courses is not measurable in monetary terms. I read the free e-book before I decided to acquire some of the courses. I was amazed at what I learnt even through a free document from Hannes Dreyer. I then knew that my surplus would be well spent on further material.

The thing that I appreciate the most about the way that the material is presented is the fact that it is real-life stuff. I know that Hannes won't teach anything that he has not applied in his own life. This helps me to trust the information I'm learning and make it my own.

I can recommend the course to anybody who is brave enough to take responsibility for their own financial future!

Applying the Formula For Riches and get 217% growth by Waldi van de Merwe

My success with the formula for riches came thru our company.

As per the audited statements the growth from last year to this year was 217%

This was done by taking full responsibility for al the money matters in the company. Anything to do with money (customers, debt, investments, payments, levies, rent, profits, losses, tax, estate duties, buy sell agreements, wills) goes past my desk and under my eyes.

Although we are still at risk from things outside of my control in the business I have made sure that there is a rock solid base to operate from.

I have been maintaining or just not having any debt for the company.

I have been spending my time at night with my family and after there bed time I have been carrying on with study of my business (working on the business not, in it) and personal growth.

This has paid dividends as you can see. For the last month I have been waking up at 4:30 in the morning to continue with self study and spiritual study. And cannot wait to see the results from this practice in the future.

Kind Regards

Start a business with infinite return by Johan Stroh

There is an old saying that goes ‘At the end of your life you will regret more the things that you DID NOT DO rather than the things you DID DO’. So wise and I can only say thank you God that I come across this experience in my life and I am living it. I am DOING IT.

For the past 11 years I have been in the retail business. For 6 years I had bakery franchises and for the last 5 years until Feb 2007 I was involved with ceramic products. I really thought I was doing well. End of February my path with the franchisor ended and I started looking for something new. Apart from Pick ‘n Pay, Build-it and other retail groups who contacted me to open up a new franchise, I considered several other options including bringing a completely unique concept to SA from the USA.

In March however, because of my search for new opportunities, I saw the ad for the free seminar by Hannes Dreyer in the Rapport which I attended. I cannot express how my idea of a successful business and the risks associated with it, have changed from then till now.

Several of the BIG opportunities that came up would have been my new line of business a year or so ago. Now, because I am doing the mentoring program, Kaizen Challenge and attended several of Hannes’s other presentations, the selection criteria have changed. I have invested so much time in myself. I live a balanced life.

Certainly the biggest change in my view has been to minimize the risk. The world tells you that if you invest in a well known branded business, you cannot go wrong. I know of several branded businesses that went belly up soon after opening although the owner invested lots of money and time in the business.

Currently I am involved in a business that does simulation training. We have a proven ability to take complex business models and simplify them sufficiently to create a challenging and enjoyable learning experience without turning it into a game. It is absolutely amazing how a person at any level of a company can suddenly ‘see’ how the business works. That WOW or AHAA expressions are often heard.

My reasons why I joined forces with this business are the following:
I did not have to risk anything apart from my time (to get trained)
It is possible
I can make it happen
I certainly have control over it.

I have earned R15000 so far for 6 days’ work. This represents 3 x 2 day courses that I presented to one of the biggest retail distribution centers in South Africa.

Considering that they even paid for my flights, hotels and car rentals, the actual amount earned could be much higher. So my profit was R15000 which is an infinite return.

Accelerator Principle - I am involved in a project for the schools. From the overwhelming reaction from the various schools that we have seen, this should mean a passive income INCREASE of R10000 per month for the next year as from January 2008.

Through Hannes Dreyer, the Formula for Riches, Mentoring program and Kaizen Challenge I am developing my gifts and applying them to the Amazing Formula for Wealth Creation. The only thing that scares me now is the possibilities that are pitching up all over.

Cheers

Kaizen challenge – FREE FOR LIFE by Ben Durand

Changes I have experienced in the last 49 days

It is like a door that has opened.

I can now see what was holding me back. I would never have stumbled upon this secret if I was not in the right frame of mind and if it was not for the KAIZEN challenge. I did not know or was not aware that God is the Universal Mind with all the powers of the universe. My mind and spirit is part of that Universal Mind with all the powers of the universe. I have been looking for the truth and the Truth has made Himself known to me. Knowing the world within is more important than the world without. We are so focussed on the outside world influencing our thoughts that we stop thinking for ourselves. Other people are thinking for us and their thoughts are becoming our thoughts. We are realising their dreams and not ours!
A big lesson I learned is if you change you attitude you can begin to change your life. I’m no longer going to allow anyone else to think on my behalf.. I am in control of my destiny.

The word “responsibility” has a new meaning for me. Responsibility means to take control of my mind and my thoughts. I must make sure that the gate keeper is keeping negative thoughts, or below the line thoughts, out of my subconscious mind. Whatever I think, will manifest. I did not know of the law of attraction (also called the law of love). This has given me a total new outlook on life. My daily routine has also changed. I am now more aware of how I start the day. When I open my eyes I start to say “thank you”. Saying "Thank you" that I am alive, had a good night’s rest, a house, wife and children. When I get out of the bed my right foot is “thank” and my left foot “you”. It doesn’t stop there as I continue to say thank you whenever I see anything that glorifies God. The more I do this the more energy I receive to take the day on. This has also improved my relationship with my family and work colleagues.

The biggest change has been the change in energy levels. I am excited to know what is going to happen next. How are my power goals going to materialize? I am waiting for that moment that will change my life for ever.
We don’t understand and appreciate the meaning of the word “abundance”. Nature is giving in abundance. We see it every where. Look at the flowers, trees, grass and plants around us. There is an abundance. Just look at the abundance of flowers that you find every year on the West Coast. Why then would God not give the same abundance to me? I love God and I can claim a life of abundance from Him. Mark 11: 22-24. Ask/believe you have already received it. It is a promise from God that I will apply in my daily life. I don’t have to live in fear anymore. I know the Truth and the Truth is God.

My Average Day

I am now making more time available for myself. I usually have spent 15 minutes in the morning for payer time but I have now set apart 45 minutes every morning of the week for payer and meditation. I spend time with the Lord and it calms me. I use this time to meditate on my thoughts, goals and to thank God for all his blessings.

This is not a 49 day challenge. This is a life time challenge. It requires discipline but by living your life and apply the Kaizen principle you grow and experience a constant never ending improvement.
I will continue to find out more about the truth, growing every day and live my life to the fullest!
I CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT TO BE

I will still use Hannes as my sound board. I believe our friendship will grow in years to come. Hannes, you have made a difference in my life and that of my family. I do have now a purpose in life and that is to be a wealth creator. I did not understand the Powermorphing principle in the beginning. I do now understand the use of power and not force. I am grateful that I could have done the Kaizen challenge. A lot of people are losing out on the value and knowledge that this course gives you. I have grown as a person and will never be the same.

I am a new “ME” – a spirit without any boundaries! FREE FOR LIFE!

What Kaizen has meant for me by Mel Marx

The kaizen challenge was the 3rd rung of a ladder that has lead me to an exciting world of possibility, dream and goal attainment.

The first rung that took me up that ladder was the ‘firewalking experience’ which truly woke me up to the possibilities of becoming a wealth creator.

The next step was the ‘Powermorphing’ course that taught me how to create power goals and then to instruct my subconscious to create my goals and dreams.

As I said the 3rd rung on this ladder was the Kaizen challenge that taught me the activity and discipline necessary to attain the goals and dreams that my subconscious was already fashioning for me. I very quickly understood how to create daily activity but also how to start disciplining my mind not to be distracted by other people’s dreams and constant bombardment of information. I also grew to understand how to take accountability for my thoughts and interrogate everything that I see, hear and am told.

The Kaizen challenge took me on a cognitive journey opening my mind to the fact that the world is full of possibility and opportunity.

Some of the things that have happened to me are: I now have a list that increases daily with wealth creating ideas, one of which we are currently working on to make a reality. I have a real certainty for the first time that I will be wealthy in all the aspects of my life as the writers of the ‘Secret’ put it, harmonic wealth (all aspects of your life being in perfect harmony). I have also come to understand that my God wants abundance for me and nothing that I have learnt from all the new sources of information I now consult is contrary to my Christian belief in anyway on the contrary it supports everything that is written in the Bible.

To me the Kaizen Challenge (www.thekaizenchallenge.co.za) is a programme that is not just 49 days long but should be executed back to back 49 days, then start again for another 49 days for as long as is possible every time you start and do it again you learn new things about yourself and the exercises strengthens you focus.

Hannes thanks for being the mentor and coach I have been seeking for a very long time. A mentor who absolutely leads by example and asks the type of questions that holds a mirror up to our souls so that we can see the short comings and take responsibility to grow or not.

Kind Regards

Mel Marx
