This time last year, I started the Million Dollar Experiment, a program developed by Joanna Hunter with a view to creating a million dollars in one year.
So did it happen?
I am exploring the journey on the show with Jane Duncan Rogers, an old podcast friend. As we did this year together, it seems natural to explore our discoveries together.
This was a transformative year for Jane, not just for her participation in the intriguing Million Dollar Experiment but there were some profound shifts in perspective it prompted.
In this candid conversation, Paul and Jane discuss the real measures of abundance and freedom that transcended beyond just monetary gains. It's not just about chasing the million dollars but exploring one's relationship with money, understanding personal freedom, and appreciating the richness in experiences and relationships.
Jane shares how this experiment challenged her beliefs about money and sparked a deeper spiritual journey. Her insights into gratitude and the power of mindset are both inspiring and applicable to anyone seeking personal growth.
We also touch on Jane’s new venture into writing, focusing on embracing aging and the narratives that come with it. If you're interested in a heartfelt exploration of life's richness beyond financial wealth, this episode is a must-listen.
If you would like to stay in touch with Jane, you can find her on Linkedin, facebook or check out her substack page.
If you want to explore the work of Joanna Hunter, she can be found at Joannahunter.com.

A flashback to January 2021 with Jonathan Nazario: I was looking for a show to reshare with you today, and I wondered what happened to Jonathan, given we are three years on.
At the time of recording, Jonathon was 17. The book is still available on Amazon, but his social chnnels look dormant. I have reached out, and I will see what transpires.
If you are interested in Focus coaching the link is here, and at the bottom.
______________________________________________________
This podcast brings a different perspective to my usual conversations because, unlike most of my guests, Jonathon Nazario is just 17 years old, which, from my (57-year-old) perspective, is the very beginning of life’s experiences.
His book is called Society, The World In Which We Live and is a self-help philosophical mix that is his take on the world, highlighting human behaviour, education, and the business world.
When this young author approached me through one of the podcast matching sites. I have to admit, my old cynic reared its head and said
“What can a 17-year-old possibly know about Life, Passion and Business?”
Intrigued to know more, I followed through with an introductory chat that turned into a refreshing conversation and an invitation to come on the podcast.
In this programme, we discuss his personal view of success, contribution, and the meaning of life. Jonathon has big plans for the future and a vision that includes exceeding his personal expectations.
Despite being an old cynic, it is refreshing to hear the perspective of one so young. With his positive mindset, Jonathon will likely fulfil his vision, and I hope I have the opportunity to catch up with him again in 10 years to see how things are going.
If you want to catch up with Jonathon Nazario, you can find his book on Amazon.com. Given that we are three years old, the social links seem to be dormant.

Innovation and entrepreneurship have been the themes of Roberto’s life. He has always been fascinated by cutting-edge of technology.
Roberto Capodieci was born in Italy near Venice and was a natural entrepreneur from age 5, making and selling stuff to buy more toys.
Elementary school bored him, so he dropped out he never went back, taking charge of his education and studying everything from business management to computer programming.
He did not attend college officially, although he sneaked into lectures that interested him.
At age ten, he started a computer and electronics club. It became a business when he was 14—he started as a software house selling thousands of pirated computer games. At the time, there was no law to prevent it. With so many callers to the house and so much cash, his parents thought he was selling drugs. While not true, it created a reputation that led to a surprising opportunity with law enforcement.
The business moved from pirated software to optical archiving of documents using the first Apple computers.
The credibility of age
By the time he was 19, he was the head of a large company employing 50 people. He had to employ older people to get the credibility of age. As one so young, he would pretend to be the janitor cleaning the floor so he could listen to his salespeople negotiate the deal.
Our conversation is rich in stories as he has worked in many countries commercially and as technical support in law enforcement environments. He even knocked on the door of the FBI and asked if he could help.
Roberto has 40 years of business behind him. It has always been about technology and innovation, so unsurprisingly, he has been instrumental in laying down the foundational aspects of blockchain applications, ensuring their relevance and applicability in various sectors.
Innovation and Blockchain
His contributions extend beyond the technical aspects, as he actively educates others, sharing his knowledge through speaking engagements, publications, and mentorship.
On this show, we glimpse what is possible with decentralization and how it could protect everything from the food on your plate to life-saving medicine.
Interestingly, he started his business on pirated software, and today, as an advocate of blockchain, he is at the forefront of preventing Piracy.

I am on a project for the next two weeks, so I thought to reshare this episode from August 2022. The beauty of this podcast is the value of these life stories, which never change; there is always something to learn.
On the show, I mention Focus coaching and tool to get you moving.

Rocky Lalvani : Take the first step now
Are you setting your course, are you taking that first step?
My guest on the show is an example of someone living a good life by design a man who came from humble beginnings.
Rocky Lalvani was born in India, when he was two years old, the family emigrated to the US, and while it was a great opportunity, the family had to start at the bottom.
It was a tough beginning, but they worked hard as immigrant families do, the American dream inspired them, and they built their wealth.
During Rocky’s early life, there were lots of success and money conversations with other ex-pat communities. While listening to these family chats, he learned the importance of negotiation and how to hustle.
Starting with his paper route, he discovers how good service leads to good tips. At college, he was buying and selling stuff until he secured a real-estate licence to sell properties.
After finishing high school and going to college, he did a degree in Economics and went out into the world to work.
He did many jobs and eventually built a solid business creating operational and management spreadsheets for small businesses.
Rocky’s challenge was that he found it almost impossible to take the first steps and move his life forward. Our conversation is not about the work he did but the wisdom he developed. We touch on mentors, health, fitness, food and more. All of the steps that help him move forward and build the life he wanted.
Today Rocky calls himself the Chief Profitability Adviser for business owners. He teaches them how to ensure they get paid and that they make pro

Finding focus is the key to getting stuff done. But how do we do that in a society that has created a distracted industry? Because your phones have given you instant access to everything, and we live in a 24/7 society.
It has never been so difficult to isolate ourselves from those things that would have us blow off and fritter our time. In this podcast, we explore the problem and offer some solutions to that could see you getting stuff done.
Finding Focus is not easy.
Why is that? It is because our media is cultivating a distraction-based society. I can remember 50 years ago, sitting in my room doing my homework. The option for distraction was limited; perhaps I could read a book or doodles. But if I wanted to get out and see friends or watch TV with the family. The homework had to be finished.
The fact is our average attention span has been dropping. It is now around 47 seconds, and we can see this in how a film or drama series are cut. We can see this in the success of YouTube shorts and Tick-Tok reels.
Boring Stuff is hard to do.
When the work is boring or has the potential to trigger us into states of fear or worry, it is not surprising that we look for some distraction.
In this podcast, we look at the problems. We will consider the importance of managing our energy and use feelings and emotions to motivate us to finish the work. One of those tools is accountability; one of the keys to my homework completion all those years ago was accountability to those around me.
These powerful tools are part of the kit in focus coaching. If you have a project or something that you want to change or are finding some resistance check out this video.

Thought and belief or beliefs and thought, what comes first, that would be the thought obviously it has to come first for one to believe it, but the question is how do we get to believe and is it important?
LINKS TO THE MONEY EXPERIMENT BELOW.
In this show, we are looking at the connection between thought and belief.
We have thousands of thoughts every day, many of which just pass through our minds without any connection or associated feeling.
Most of my work with people revolves around mindfulness or being conscious of things passing through our minds and being the observer.
When I do this, it can be surprising what passes through. We've spoken many times on this subject, particularly around the idea of how we perceive ourselves and how we value ourselves and those around us.
Unless I value myself and hold myself in high esteem, I will always sell myself short.
That is tangible proof of the connection between thought and belief. I have to believe a thought to make it real.
Have you ever played the power game, it is an acting exercise and I explore it in this show. This point is, through a series of exercises, big guys got pushed over just by the power of the words that were used.
My point is that we say, and the words we say to ourselves, have power over us. When we say negative things about ourselves we are giving ourselves that instruction. If we say positive things about ourselves, we are giving ourselves that instruction.
So, what do you want to achieve in your life this year? Do you believe you can achieve it, and are you committing to it?
I know from coaching and being reminded in the money program that there are several ways of achieving things, and there is an easy way and there is a hard way.
My sense on this is that the universe ( and our minds) will give us what we want on some level; if we believe something, it is going to be hard, it will be hard; if we believe, something will flow, then it will flow because we get kind of what we expect.
The Challenge for all of us is to map out what we want and believe we can have it and then take action to move towards it.
Now those actions will involve smart goals, they will involve accountability and all the sort of things to make something happen. But the key to remember here is bashing our heads against the wall for something is not the solution to the problem find a way around the wall.
If you want help with that you know where I am.
Now, speaking of big ideas and beliefs.

Today my guest on the show is a fellow podcast host. Jessica Coulthard of the “Ignited Entrepreneurs Podcast” went all in recording and uploading more than 100 shows in just over a year. And get this, podcasting is her side hustle, she has a full-time role as a project coordinator.
Our conversation is a tale about the power of podcasting, coaching and personal development.
In 2015, Jessica had an epiphany; she realized she was writing down the same goals that she wrote down every January, and her life wasn’t changing. That moment was the moment of realizing that she was choosing to keep herself small, and it started her on the path to changing her life.
She discovered Jack Canfield’s book “The Success Principles™, and then it was time for the hard questions and her journey towards the life she wanted.
Our conversation is about Jessica’s journey of self-discovery, moving from a quiet introvert to becoming a woman with a voice of her own. It is about finding her place in the world and who she was here to serve.
In 2019, Jessica hosted a live event called “The Women Who Inspire Conference” 2019 and went on to become the host of the Ignited Entrepreneurs Podcast.
Jessica Coulthard defines herself as a Strategic Interventionist; she uses NLP techniques to dig deep into her clients’ unconscious and works with them to understand their driving needs, core values and motivations to facilitate rapid change!

Intuition and inspiration: where does that sit in your New Year’s resolutions, goals, or intentions that you set for 2024? There is so much pressure to set intentions or goals at the beginning of the year.
I suspect many people feel pressured into coming up with something, and it’s invariably dumped by the middle of January. Why is it so difficult to set a meaningful, achievable goal at this time of year?
In this podcast, we look at the idea that the best goals come from intuition. They come out of inspiration, and when those things are in alignment, it’s only a matter of doing.
Tomorrow is the 8th of Jan, and for many, it is the first full week back at work, last week was about going through the motions. Well, it was when I was in corporate. Actually, it was about preparing for a trip to Paris to look at Christmas Decorations. Yes, 20 years back, I finished Christmas only to go back to work and start looking at Christmas.
Thankfully, I have left Christmas decoration planning behind, but I still retain one discovery from that time. Kings Cake.
Kings Cake, Intuition and Inspiration.
In the Harvey House, Christmas ends on the 5th of January at King’s Night, where we have a King’s dinner to celebrate the end of the 12 days of Christmas and to explore intuition and wisdom for the coming year and eat Kings Cake.
Check out the show and hear the story of how I discovered King’s Cake. But more the point, today’s conversation is all about how we bring our intuition and inspiration into our lives to align with our goals and intentions. That is the path towards living a good life.

Where do you keep your money bags? Well, what I really mean is, have you explored your money baggage? It has been said there was no shortage of money in the world for all that needed to be done. So why is it not done?
On this show, we are looking at money and the thinking around it. Did you know that money is not real? It is a thought that has become a universal agreement.
The majority of money is ones and zeros on a computer. We have all signed up for this thought experiment and created an economy around it. Money is a convenient tool to transfer energy and intention.
But with that thought experience comes a whole list of baggage. Money baggage: there is no shortage of money; there is, however, a gap in our realities around it., and that is what needs sorting.
On Tuesday, I caught the launch party for My Million Dollar Experiment with Joanna Hunter. She is a metaphysical practitioner and a very successful businesswoman.
Her current business is in the creation of conscious millionaires. As she says, what if there was no shortage of money in the world for all that needed to be done? We could solve climate change and educate and feed people.
How would it be possible to create conscious millionaires? That is where metaphysics comes in because it is about changing the mindset and moving the money baggage.
The launch party was for the Million Dollar Experiment, and the question is.
“Would it be possible for you to make $1,000,000 in the next 12 months? “
Before you disregard that statement, what thought came up for you? I imagine there was a whole list of ifs, buts and nos. It does for me.
My Million Dollar Experiment 2021 results
However, it has been done before. In 2021, Joanna ran that experiment with just over 4000 people, and 16 people declared they made the million. Another 3 kept it quiet. As a percentage, it is less than 0.5%. So, let us consider the numbers.
That 0.5% percentage is better than a lottery win.
How many people came close?
What changed in the lives of those involved?
I am delighted to participate in this experiment because, at the launch party, I could feel my triggers coming up; even creating this podcast and making the offer available to you has shown me that I have some work to do.
Is it Time to Find Your Money Bags?
There is still time; while the experiment has started, the option to join is still open, and it is only $25. Check out the show if you want to know why the price is so low.

Yes, this is an affiliate link, and I will earn $12.50, as a participant, you can also do the same.

Money and thought or thought and money, what comes first, the money or thinking about it? In this show, we are considering the energy of money.
Does money have energy? Not directly but money itself is the transfer of energy, which is the representation of energy being transferred from person to person. Before there was money, there was barter, and yet, in some way, we still experience the level of barter in our day-to-day interactions with people.
Many transactions in life are not fiscal, but they do serve us and bring us service or service to others.
Here is the link to the Million Dollar Experiment;
In this show, we are touching on the experiment that starts tomorrow, the first of January. Is it possible to create one million dollars or one million pounds in one year?
As I said in the last podcast on the subject, this is about expanding our consciousness so that we can become open to the possibility of generating this level of income, but there are so many little nuances to this, as you’ll hear on the podcast you know I am struggling to get my head around it.
The experiment is not my event; I am a participant in it, and I’d be delighted if you joined us. You can see the link below. It is an affiliate link because that’s how this process works, so do check it out.
But as I said last week, even if I aim for this number and hit a fraction of it, that is still a win, yet even that action itself demonstrates my limited thinking. So it is thought and money that comes first or thought and money?
Here is the link to the Million Dollar Experiment; there are only a few hours left for you to join in.
Other News for 2024
It is going to be a fascinating year with lots going on. I’m involved in a number of projects; there will be a new coaching program and a load of opportunities to explore what it means to lead a good life.

Could you create a Million Dollar year? Is it possible to create that level of wealth in one year without stealing it or winning it? More the point would earning or getting $1 million or pounds in 2024 make you happy, more the point do you believe it is possible?
I ask the question because there is an experiment starting on the 1st of January The Million Dollar Year that might be of interest. There is a cost of entry at $25, and there is an opportunity to get that money back or even earn a commission before the project starts.
In this podcast, we are exploring the energy of money, our beliefs around it and how you might change it and become open to opportunity.
The Energy of Money
Money is one of those things in life where there is some duality. We all need it and accept that it’s important to us, but we are often reluctant to say how important it is. There is an energy of money, and it is wonderful when it’s abundant. However, when there is a lack of money in life, everything becomes more difficult.
So would a million dollars of pounds make me happy? Yes, of course it would. But so would 100k or 50K. All of these sums would open new doors and opportunities.
Given that we all would like to create some ease around income, how could we make it happen? One of the biggest blocks to creating more wealth is our mindset and how we are around the energy of money.
That energy is the balance between wanting, needing, receiving and giving. There is a flow when that balance is right; the money comes. We have had several speakers on the podcast that looked to explain the process.
It is often thought about as a bit woo-woo, with words like manifestation, abundance and the law of attraction. I realised some months back that vision boards, affirmations and business plans have much in common. They hold the goal within our attention, and where attention goes, the energy flows. It is where we take action.
Without action, nothing happens. It is very raw for someone to set an intention and dreaming of big money into existence; it's not impossible, but someone has to win the lottery when they buy a ticket.
The Million Dollar Year
I was talking about money with a very good friend of mine. Jane had just moved on from her current business and was looking into the world for what to do in the coming year. An invitation dropped into her inbox asking the question about A Million dollar Year ; the idea was so intriguing she signed up.
The event will be hosted by Joanna Hunter
She is a published author, Spiritual Life and Business Coach, and Lifelong student of Metaphysical Science, currently completing her doctorate in metaphysical science. Metaphysical science is a fascinating subject and worth a conversation, but not today.
In 2021, Joanna Hunter asked the question, could she help people create $1,000,000 in one year. She launched the experiment, and 4303 took part; 1 in every 287 hit the $ 1 million goal, and over 72% saw a positive change in their mindset around money.
Joanna is launching the event for 2024 and it starts on 1st January. It is about creating a mindset and taking action to get you where you want to be, and it is only $25 to take part.
When I read this, my critic jumped in, and I started doing the maths; 287 out of 4000 is only 15 people. But that is 15 new millionaires and much higher odds than winning the lottery.
I have joined up because I have money blocks just like everyone else, so if you want a change in 2024, join us and see what is possible.
The Million Dollar Experiment
Joanna’s programme features training a plan a tracking system and a support group.
I signed up last week, at $25 dollar as it is a no-brainer, plus everyone can be an affiliate on 50% commission. So if just two people from my audience join, I have covered my cost.
This is not a pyramid thing; it is just a tool to encourage everyone to share the opportunity, get more people involved, and change mindsets around money.
If you are curious, check out the details now. You can discover everything you need to know about Joanna Hunter and the event. What have you to lose? If it changes your money mindset, 2024 might become a very different year for you.
Warning: As with all of these things, there is no guarantee; it will not be a free ride, and there will be work to do; but just like the lottery, unless you buy a ticket, it is very hard to win.
I really hope you join us in the experiment; who knows what is possible.

I am taking a break from editing this week, but I will return with a new programme next week. In the meantime, I want to share with you a conversation recorded a couple of years ago at the event, reasons, and results. That event is still available, and there are some free tickets available—details at the end.
This conversation is about being in flow and taking aligned action. Simon Jordan was an old friend who passed away just 18 months after this show was recorded.
Being in flow with life is about taking aligned action; in my weekend show, we explored the idea of being in that flow and open to the opportunities that pass; it is about breathing into the space.
When I think of a guest demonstrating the process well, it had to be the late Simon Jordan; he died suddenly in December 2021. I made a tribute programme for him at the time.
Simon was a long-term online friend. I had known each other for ten years, yet as in common in the digital world, we never managed to meet in person.
Taking Aligned Action
Going back to my point about flow and aligned action. There is a view and narrative that you will crawl through the swamp to get to your goal if you want something enough. You will put your shoulder to the wheel of life and push until you get what you want.
I do not deny the idea’s validity, and sometimes, getting results requires this level of commitment and sacrifice.
However, at what personal cost do we ask ourselves if we want to pay that price? There was a time when I did the 7 am to 7 pm life. Did it get me anything? I thought it did, but it meant I ate late, watched too much TV and went to bed to do it all again the following morning.
In this show with Simon, we explore his journey from the ego-driven on-stage marketing professional whose life was falling apart to the free-flowing mountain climber, swimmer, adventurer and branding coach. At the time of recording, his life philosophy was about taking aligned action, simplicity and moving with the flow.
The conversation was taken from the event Reason and Results, in 2020. The detail of this and all of our past events can be found in the events tab above.

Finance to Mystic, how does the move from a life of facts to a life of intuition happen? Our story in the podcast is of transition from the rough and tumble world of finance to healing wisdom and soul work.
On this show, you will discover the importance of sacred clearing, we all clean our physical bodies, but there is more to life than this physical plain.
A 70s Child, free to explore the world
Jammine Kim was an adopted child with red hair and a firebrand personality. She had a wonderful early life in 1970 Chicago. Life was different; for Jeannine, childhood was an experience outside of the house, it was a freedom to explore. As a sensitive child, the world was full of seen and unseen experiences.
She left home at 17 and threw herself at the world, gravitating towards money and finance. Without a college qualification worked her way up from the bottom to become an IPO trader.
In the 1990s, finance was still running on a wall street mentality where greed is good, and women in the industry were commodities.
She was among the first women in the 90s to pursue and win a sexual harassment lawsuit and challenge this behaviour.
That firebrand personality served her well; she was good at the job, trained others and built teams. But life while rich was empty on the inside.
There was a calling back to that sensitive child running wild in Chicago. She found a path through yoga. That was the start of her journey towards healing and the drive to share it with others.
She signed up for healing training in China, meaning she would need to leave her job to make it possible. She would have to choose to release her income, security and health insurance benefits.
The Journey from finance to mystic
The universe has other plans. Our story is that journey and how the universe always has a hand in the process.
Twenty-three years later, she is now a yoga teacher and author, helping thousands of people to reconnect with their guidance and wisdom.

How often have you heard the phrase “Money does grow on Trees”? If you had a childhood like mine, unlikely without the word NOT between the does and Grow? It is the title of a book by my guest on the show John Bolton.
John is an optometrist from Brisbane, Australia, and he is the first guest in my series on money. He is the author of the book, “ Money Does Grow On Trees”.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been researching several subjects to bring you a series of mini-events around essential topics for our continued growth and development. We could explore many things, but the most significant factor affecting us every day is Money.
That has to be the first topic, and while I have yet to set a date, I can tell you what it will be called.
Let’s Talk About Money.
Because the one thing I’m acutely aware of as I have explored the subject is that people don’t want to discuss it, they are more likely to discuss sex than money. The event date will be out soon, so make sure you are on our mailing list or following the podcast.
Back to our author and guest on the programme. John Bolton has had a pretty good life; as I explored his story, what stood out was his journey with personal development. His parents were forward-thinking and exposed him to books and tapes from an early age. While he was not interested, it is clear that his parents were role models in his journey.
In our conversation, we cover the five questions related to John’s life and how he explores the idea of passion, purpose, success, meaning and contribution.
John was fortunate to discover that speaking to people and helping them was a calling. As an optometrist, he found a profession that supported both his joy and passion. It satisfied his need to help, making people’s lives better with new glasses and, at the same time having great conversations.
The key to John’s success has been the books he has read, well over 100. His decision to write his own was the desire to share the 15 books that have changed his life.

Reconnecting with past guests in the birthday show was just like connecting with old friends, and it has opened new possibilities for some interesting conversations. One of those was with Patrick Powers; he was on the show last in the middle of the Covid Lockdowns in the Uk.
A lot has changed for him since my last conversation, and as we are currently looking for a date to meet up, I thought it would be a good opportunity to upload our last conversation.
There are a few references in the show to focus coaching; the link is at the bottom of the page.
