The Secret

So some exciting news is next week on the podcast, I have Mike Dooley.

He was one of the people in The Secret.

So I had John Demartini like a month ago or a little more.

Now I have Mike Dooley.

And they were kind enough to send me a copy.

So I started reading it yesterday and I'm already about halfway through the book because it's just, it's good.

And I started feeling that excitement again that I felt, back in 2009 when I read The Secret.

And that's exactly what I need right now.

But there's a lot that that emotion and that energy can have havoc on in the body.

You know, I, um, and I don't remember if it was from the movie, the secret or from the movie, what the bleep do we know? But Neil Donald Walsh, um, has, is it, is it in.

He was in the secret.

I don't.

OK, it's the

You know, working with Mo and having conversations, it had been a while going through what it would be really like to produce a movie.

and to put it out there.

And I, we knew we were coming up on the 20th anniversary of the secret.

I have been working on myself.

And, you know, my mindset and my positivity for years, really from in 2006, the secret book was released.

And I was with my sister in a shopping center in Dublin.

And I saw it at the front of the bookshop, you know, on the display.

I really felt overwhelmed.

That's probably the word that I can describe best to describe how I was feeling.

And, you know, I picked up the book, The Secret, again.

And I'm like, maybe if I gave this a bit of a go and trusted in the words that I was reading.

Yay.

But back when I was 23, I watched the movie The Secret.

And that that movie taught me ask, believe, receive.

But more importantly, I was at the beginning of a journey.

Then I'm thinking about, okay, I still have to get my student loans paid off and all of these different things.

It just came to that culminating moment where all right, this next chapter, whatever it's going to look like.

Again, I watched the movie, The Secret, because I watched that at every checkpoint in life.

And I just said, I'm going to do it.

I had just...

Look, I was an angsty teenager, okay? And my mom one day rented The Secret.

Do you remember they made a movie about the book The Secret?

Yes.

Yeah.

Blessed to be here with my extraordinary friends and extraordinary guest, the amazing Marie Diamond.

If you haven't seen her from one of my most transformational movies of all time, The Secret.

and the input that she gave to change my perspective, to change my life.

Now, not only is she a transformational leader, she's a world-renowned master teacher of Feng Shui, as we all know, and the law of attraction, multi-time best-selling author with her newest book, The Amazing Your Home Is Your Vision Board.

Everything's evolving.

You as well.

And it's been years since the movie, the secret beyond the secret secret on Netflix now, um, beyond finish way, which used to be so woo woo.

And now it's commonplace.

the quintessential quantum paradox guaranteed to transform your life, which was a play on Hal Elrod's title.

And then I put the secret on the cover.

And the secret's very simple, because everyone's waking up earlier and earlier.

My suggestion was to wake up two hours before you go to sleep.

That way you're ahead of the game.

So what's the difference between kind of the manifesting like, oh, I want a million dollar mansion on the lake and what you're describing?

Well, a couple of things.

So when we think of manifestation, we probably think of the book The Secret.

Now you're probably thinking, does the world need another podcast? And the answer is probably not.

But since writing my book of the same name, Grow Fast, Exit Big, I've had a lot of people ask me so many questions that I just couldn't answer.

Because what I do in that book is I map out my entrepreneurial journey.

I share how I started a SaaS business, bootstrapped it all the way.

and took it to a point where it was completely running and growing without me to exceptionally high standards to the point where I was able to sell that business for an eight-figure sum.

But that book is entirely from my point of view.

There were so many people that joined me on that journey who either contributed to the success of that business or inspired me along the way.

And they were hugely impactful for me, hugely impactful on that business.
