Kurek Ashley had many roles in the movies as the bad guy so he is not well remembered because let’s face it… who remembers the bad guy. I met Kurek just over one year ago at Nik Halik’s Money Masters seminar here in Melbourne. Kurek has worked with John Travolta, Sylvester Stalone and Russell Crowe, to name a few.

Today I listened to Sarah Wilson from Adventure Coaching interview Kurek live and his story is amazing. During his acting career, while working in Asia on the movie Delta Force 2 with Chuck Norris, there was a helicopter crash in which five of his friends were killed. His best friend died in his arms on the way to hospital. Just prior to the tragic loss of lives, Kurek himself had been in that same helicopter as 20 takes were rehearsed and filmed. You can maybe only begin to imagine how that made him feel.

After that incident, Kurek turned to using recreational drugs, drinking alcohol, violence and multiple attempts at suicide. Every day he held a .38 claibre revolver to his head in order to end the pain he was feeling until three years later, he made a decision. A decision where he chose to put an end to the destructive lifestyle he was living. He turned his life around by quitting the drugs and alcohol and reading self-help books, using affirmations with purpose and not long after this, he was running seminars in the US.


Life Success Coach

Today, Kurek is a Life Success Coach and holds the world record for the longest fire walk ever being 81 metres in length. In his interview, Kurek said that he is very efficient and that he fits everything in. The powerful tool with which he uses to manage this is his brain.

If your brain picks up that you are happy with your life, you will achieve more results. Feeling grateful for what you already have in your life is equal to love, and feeling the love attracts more love to you.

Once you have a thought, put it into action immediately as once you put things on the back-burner, it loses it’s urgency. You must also be willing to DO what the average person is not willing to do and even though today could be the worst day in your life, for someone else, it may be the best day in their lives, if they happen to be having the same kind of day as you!

Kurek uses affirmations like

I am Fortunate

I am Successful

I am Grateful

These are very simple to remember and you could use these easily throughout your day. Say them out loud like you mean it and notice the difference it makes to the way you feel.

Kurek also coached the Australian Womens Volleyball team to win Gold in the Sydney 2000 Olympics. At one seminar he ran, Natalie Cook was sitting in his audience and Kurek suggested that nobody would buy a book from the athlete that won the bronze medal. So after the seminar was over, Natalie walked up to him and said…

I stood on the third box… and I know you have the tools to help me win Gold.

So with that, Kurek coached Natalie Cook and Kerri Ann Pottharst for two and a half years to go on and win that Gold Medal here in Australia on their home soil.

Moral of the Story

With this little knowledge I have given you here, my wish is for you to see that anything is possible. You do not need to go through a state of depression like Kurek did and lead a self destructive lifestyle in order to find the answers within which will give your life’s purpose. Rather, we each have our own little demons and voices in our heads which pop up from time to time and if we listen to these voices and let them take control of our lives, we end up down in the dumps.

Brainstorming to find the things you are passionate about and and writing down a list of goals you want to achieve, broken down into baby steps will give you the desire to do the things that need to be done and once you can work efficiently, you will achieve the results you want to achieve.

Tell me how you deal with the voices in your head. Do you listen to them? Do you let them take over? If not, what steps have you taken to take control of your life? Feel free to share.

Dedicated to Success

Hello… today I want to write a about a recent event I attended. Called Money Masters, it was quite a special time. It was held over three days at the Crown Promenade Hotel in Melbourne’s Southbank district.

On the first morning I arrived to be greeted by the event organiser - Nik Halik - and a four string quartet. I don’t know how many of you have taken time out to attend any wealth creation or motivational seminars, but they are pretty special in my book.

Nik Halik (google this name) is a self-made millionaire and with his wealth has been able to follow his childhood dream of training to be an astronaut. He has trained with the Russian cosmonauts and has voyaged a flight to the edge of space.

He is also the first Australian since the Titanic sunk to have been down to the Titanic in a submersival. He did this with his Russian contacts. They have the only submersival that can travel down 5 kilometres to the bottom of the sea. They stopped on the bow and had lunch.

There were speakers from around the globe at this event and they all had a great message or some great strategies for wealth creation. Kurek Ashley is now living in Australia but originally from Chicago, was involved in 38 Hollywood movies. As he says, “nobody ever wants the bad guy to come and talk to them” when I asked how he got started in Public Speaking. His movie roles were all bad guy roles, hence that comment.

His message was pretty powerful. What I got from it was to take responsibility for your life and start producing the results that you want to achieve. If you do not start to live life “above the line” in the minority, you will get stuck and left behind with the “majority”.

The minority use their ability to choose how they respond rather than react to certain events. Whereas the majority use reasons or excuses, blame and justification for where they are and there current circumstances. The only way to fail at life , is the failure to participate in it. To have the results, you must do what it takes.

He summed this all up by stating that by having Desire - wanting with passion and getting excited by an idea or thought and then having the Belief - fake it until you make it, followed by Self Acceptance, with these three things you will be firing on all fours and achieving the results that you deserve.

It truly was an incredible event and would highly recommend that wherever you are, to experience something like this is life changing. Seek out Motivational speakers and attend their events. Anthony Robbins travels around the world and speaks in many locations. He is just one I can think of. Jamie McIntyre with the 21st Century Academy also travels to London, Los Angeles, and other exotic locations like Fiji and Hawaii for Education for Life Seminars.

To finish here I just want to let you know that the event I attended ended with the screening of the movie “The Secret“. You can order it from here if you have not already seen it. It is the most amazing DVD you will ever see.

The Secret reveals amazing real life stories and testimonials of regular people who have changed their lives in profound ways. What are you waiting for?

Wow.  That was a long break.  What have I been up to you ask?  Since my last post, I actually took some time off to holiday with my family, for one thing.   I have also been busy studying a couple of different courses.  In fact, I am still going with a very intense Technical Analysis course on the stock market.  For more information on this Click Here.  It is used for any stock market in the world.

My Internet Marketing is going well and I felt I needed a little distraction to keep my creative juices flowing.   Running your own business means that you get to choose how you work and what you work on.  That is not to say that I know how everything works.  This is a journey that I will follow for the rest of my life.  A journey with purpose.  Everyday I know I am getting closer to my destination.  I have my goals written down so that is what I focus on.   Little baby steps along the way to take me on my chosen path.

This weekend in fact, I am attending a world class seminar event titled “Money Masters”.  It is a three day event with International speakers… so I am very excited about the opportunity to attend.  Here is a link to see what it is all about for yourself.

I will tell you about it in my next post.  Until then…

Yours in Prosperity
