But I’ve never done anything IMPOSSIBLE.

Until now…

“One can’t believe impossible things…” said Alice.
“I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen.
“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

My friend and coach, Michael Neill has just emailed me to tell me that he’s doing something crazy…

He’s gonna work with 1,000 people – yes, one thousand – for 30 days and help each of them to do one IMPOSSIBLE thing.

Sound impossible?!

Good.

Michael will be happy!

You see that’s his own impossible goal…

.

Are YOU ready to create the impossible?

Come and join me on Michael’s new month-long coaching program and lets create something impossible beginning July 1.

I’m gonna be doing it with you.

I’m thinking my own IMPOSSIBLE GOAL might be to film an interview with Michelle Obama by July 31st!

I know. That really does feel impossible!

OK. Go to it…

.
I’d love to have you in this program alongside me.
Just choose YOUR “impossible” project to take on this July -
anything from writing your first novel to losing 30 pounds to earning $50,000!

Oh, by the way, you must have two prerequisites for your project:

1. You must believe you have a less than 50% chance for success in the 30 days of the program!

2. You must be so passionate about what it is you want to create that you will be glad of any time you spend invested in creating it, regardless of how things turn out!

.

“Here’s what I want you to do next.” – Join me and lets create something impossible, together…

This is me.
The good. The bad.
…And the ugly.

I’m a guy who’s on a journey to discover the secrets to natural confidence and to share what I learn on my travels…

In case you don’t know, I am currently traveling the world and writing the book “Secrets of The World’s Most Confident People”. I am literally searching out The World’s Most Confident People and interviewing them.

How am I choosing the people I interview?
I simply looked at the main ways I lack confidence in the world – and there are four of them.

I lack confidence around Sex, Money, Other People and Being Creative.

So the next part was easy…
I want to meet the most Sexually Confident people in the world.

I want to meet people so Confident with Money that they can generate whatever they need. Whenever they need it.

I want to interview men and women so Confident with Other People that they can walk into a party or a networking meeting not knowing a soul and walk out with a dozen phone numbers! (Me, I break into a sweat every time I walk into a party…)

And I want to interview people with such Creative Confidence that they feel free to do what they love. And even those creative people who have seen huge success: artists; musicians; film stars and more. Creative souls who are so excited about their work that others pay them. LOTS. Paid for doing what they LOVE – imagine that! So they can KEEP doing what they LOVE!

Cool. So why the aching heart? That sounds like fun.

If you don’t know, then read this older post…

As I write, I’m currently living on a beach in Thailand (I know. I know. What are you complaining about, dude?!)

And my wife has decided to take time away from me. Hey, who am I kidding? We are separating.

We are separating to get clear on what we both really, really, REALLY want from life.
That may include being together (Personally, I hope it does).

And it may not…

The key to being authentic is that I hide nothing. So you’re gonna get all of me on this blog. And I’ll be unapologetic about it.

Except when I say sorry.

So here’s the strange bit.
We have three more days together on this beach and I realized that I can spend this time being sad and upset and miserable and morose and gloomy [insert your favorite adjective for when you feel down in a relationship]. Or I can Choose My Experience.

My friend Michael Neill is a Supercoach (well, he ought to be – he has just written the book, Supercoach!) In Supercoach he says:

“Your day doesn’t create your mood; your mood creates your day…
When your mood is low, the world looks bleak; when your mood is high, you feel like you can take over the world.
When your mood is high, your partner is the most wonderful man or woman in the world; when your mood is low, they’re a complete bastard.
The difference is, as always, not in the world, but is being created inside you.  And a deeper understanding of how it’s being created will give you a whole lot more options about what to do about it.”

He goes on to say that the important thing to realize about your thinking, particularly your “unhappy” thinking is:

“It’s never the first thought never hurts – it’s the fifth, or fiftieth, or even five hundredth which inevitably comes when you follow a negative train of thought on its rambling journey to destinations unknown.”

And I get it.
I can sit here on this beautiful beach, and go off into my head, judging myself for all the mistakes I made, worried about how I’ll cope when my wife leaves or anxious about a future alone…

OR…

I can look at the beautiful blue ocean, the golden sand and the stunning woman in a bright red bikini lying next to me (that’s my wife, Monique, by the way!) And I can be totally present in this moment.

My life is great. I have 2 more weeks in Thailand; then 2 weeks in Singapore, where I’ll be interviewing two women who have been guests on Oprah. After that, I travel to China. I don’t know what will happen then. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

My heart hurts.

AND…

My life is great.

“Here’s what I got.” - I’ve got a download of my favorite song by my wife, Monique DeBose, from her 2nd album “Choose The Experience: Volume 2″ She’s an amazing singer/songwriter. Check her out here and download Enjoy The Ride here

(1) Obviously… SECRETS of The World’s Most Confident People! You will have access to a ton of audios and videos of interviews with a bunch of amazing people.

(2) Confidence tips and advice to support YOU in your journey, and

(3) Stories about my own journey into confidence (I’ll share my fears, my joys, my passions and even my pain too).

In January 2009, I set myself a crazy goal – I was going to interview The World’s Most Confident People.

.

I didn’t know how. I didn’t know who. I didn’t even know where or when. But I did know WHY…

WHY?

Because I felt excited.

I don’t even know if excited is the right word for it – but every time I said to myself I’m gonna interview The World’s Most Confident People I found a great big soppy grin appeared on my face. When I told a couple of people my plan, they said “wow!” or something like that – and my grin got bigger. So I knew I was onto something.

Then I told a whole bunch of people and they thought it was a cool idea. And I got kinda self-important (I do that). Hey, I’m interviewing The World’s Most Confident People.

So I started.

Well, I say I started.

Actually, I did nothing.

Well. Lets be honest. How the HELL do you go about interviewing The World’s Most Confident People, anyway?!

So I did nothing some more.

And then I told Michael Neill. Michael is my mentor and my coach and a friend (www.geniuscatalyst.com) and Michael said, who do you want to interview?

And then I got scared…

I don’t know, I said.

Well, said Michael, if you did know, who would you LOVE to interview…?

Oh, that’s easy, I said. And the names began to tumble out… Richard Branson, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Paul McKenna, Russell Brand, Cesar Milan, Sean Stephenson, Oprah Winfrey…

Great said Michael. Who do you want to interview first?

F@#k! What’s he talking about?! How can I ever interview THEM? Who am I? I don’t even know them. I don’t even know HOW to know them. I don’t even know how to BEGIN to know them.

I hate Michael sometimes.

So I said, how about I interview my friend Decker (after all, he’s pretty famous in the dating world for helping men meet amazing women www.authenticmanprogram.com). And Michael said, well, that’s easy. He’s your friend. Who on your list do you want to interview first?

Did I mention I hate Michael sometimes?

OK, Russell Brand, I said. (Russell Brand’s an English comedian, actor, writer and presenter. He recently starred in the movies Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Bedtime Stories.)

I happen to think he’s very funny. And he doesn’t give a f@#k about what people think of him. I like that. (Most of the time I worry far too much about what people think of me).

Michael jumped up and ran to his computer. Ok, he didn’t run. Michael’s too mellow for that. But he did put Russell Brand’s name into google. After just 5 minutes he’d come up with half a dozen ways for me to contact him. I knew that it might take a little more energy than that but it really wasn’t as difficult as I’d imagined.

Then I got really nervous.

Here I was sitting opposite an internationally renowned Success Coach. A best-selling author, radio-show host and a coach and mentor to celebrities, CEOs and royalty. A man whose books have been translated into 8 languages and who has given talks at the United Nations (www.geniuscatalyst.com).

Jeez. If this wasn’t someone who should be in the book SECRETS of The World’s Most Confident People then nobody should.

F@#k it!

Hey Michael, can I interview you?

Sure, when?

Errr… now?

Sure.

Errr.

Err..

Errr…

OK. Rich, press record and ask me a question.

And that was it! I was doing it. I was really doing it.

Listen to my first ever interview! You’ll even hear how shaky my voice was as we begin!

In the three months since I talked with Michael, I have interviewed almost 50 of The World’s Most Confident People…

Including the modern-day James Bond who stole a Billion Dollars; the High School Dropout and Ex-Geisha who consults at the White House and helped 150 people become Millionaires; three New York Times bestselling authors who are regular guests on Oprah; and the World’s Leading Hypnotist.

Also one of the Most Influential & Powerful Women in Social Media; the Creator of a Website with Two Million Visitors a month; the woman who recovered from rape to become an Internationally Known Psychic; the Mother of Two who Founded a Charity and Influences Governments; the Success Coach who works with Royalty and Hollywood Stars; the World’s Greatest Seducer and three of the Most Sexually Confident Women you’ll ever meet…

Stayed tuned! In the coming days I’m gonna share each of their stories with you.

“Here’s what I got.” - I’ve got my full 19 minute interview of Michael sharing his thoughts on confidence.

“Here’s what it’ll give ya.” - You’ll learn how to cope with being fired; you’ll hear how Michael’s moods used to change according to how many people subscribed and unsubscribed from his email list – and what he now does differently; and you’ll hear Michael’s advice on what to do if you are scared about the economy right now…
