Hi,

What you must understand is that I am a very private person.

I like to live a quiet and simple life.

I have great friends, a wonderful loving partner and live in probably (arguably) the best place in the whole world.

I run INTERNET BUSINESSES.

I started my first company when I was 21.

By 24 I was running 4 different companies from 3 different physical premises spread across New Zealand.

I was introduced into the technology through the electro-mechanical and then PC world via IBM, Olivetti and and numerous “proprietry” systems in the mid 80’s.

I was at the time the youngest engineer working on midrange systems in the Southern Hemisphere.

I bought the very first (now very successful) Dick Smith Electronics Franchise to New Zealand.

What I’ve come to learn over this time, and I can describe in explicit detail how this has panned out in various stages throughout my life – and I won’t attempt to do so here but you can contact me via skype at networxnz – is that the things I’ve created in my mind – that is visualised – came to pass.

When I sold one of my businesses in 2000, I had a view of what that business should ultimately look like. Well – it turned out pretty much exactly as I had envisaged – down to the shape of my office – the size of the window looking out to the rest of the office and even the size of the data center that we created – a first in New Zealand of it’s kind.

So when I came across Mind Movies and the prospect of helping people to have the tools to visualise and create the life of their dreams – of course I’m going to be interested.

Make no mistakes – I am an affiliate of theirs. I will make money when you buy through this link.

However, I am committed to serving and helping as many people as I possibly can on a daily basis to achieve their own goals and aspirations. As such, when you sign up for my mailing list, if you have not done so already – I promise to share with you what I have learnt in my lifes journey, which has been wonderful, difficult, fun and insightful.

There is no sense in reinventing many wheels that have long since been discovered.

So, in the spirit of this commitment – I’d like to share with you my own mind movie.

Enjoy.

Darren

Also – you’ll note that I have uploaded this video to DailyMotion rather than YouTube because youtube now blocks all videos with licenced music and takes the audios out – rtegardless of whether or not you give credit to the author – which is a real hassle and certainly makes your mind movie way less impactful – must have music, anyways – hope that mind movies fans and subscribers enjoy what I’ve put together….

PPS: For those that do buy through my link – I’ll share you you go about creating such a high quality movie as this – WELL beyond what you can do with windows movie maker or iMovie! Sign up to make you own Mind Movies here – Mind Movie Creation Kit

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past 3 years, you’ve probably noticed

that the pace of change is really very much faster than what it ever has been.

This is a global phenomena – but what does it mean?

It means it’s more important than ever to have quiet time.

Time to think

Time to be with your family.

Time to turn off the cell phone, MSN, Skype, all

those things that demand your attention.

Learn to be in the moment.

Enjoy the company of those that your with.

It’s becoming a lost art – but if we all make the effort

to slow down, enjoy and connect – its easier now to be clear on

whats important – now.
