Finally! A Wishlist…

Hello Friends,

Over the weekend I was talking to my new friend Janet Chadwick on skype. Remember her, she is the one who just got me airtime? [read that post here]

One of the things she challenged me on was why I didn’t have a wishlist. What I said to her was that ironically, even though I am the No Money Guy, asking for help is hard for me. But, I have a goal that I set with my coach Mandi Wyngaard, and that is to have all my basic needs met for 3 months by the end of September!

Now, in order for me to reach that goal 2 things need to happen.

1. I need to be more valuable to more people. For this I am in the process of setting up blogs, fan pages and twitter accounts for each of my services. I need to run like a business, just a bit different from most :-)
2. People need to know what I need. Seems simple right? But it is a whole year and 4 months into this experiment and the first time I am putting out a wish list!

Anyway, enough story…here is the list:

NEEDS

These are the things that I can’t live without! I would be very open to negotiate on these items and come to an agreement that works for you.
For each we could do a trade, you could buy it for me in exchange for one of my services or we could talk sponsorship.

Accommodation
house sitting
guest houses / back backers / resorts etc
Food
invite me for dinner / lunch / breakfast invites (trading, sponsorship of food or meals at restaurants in exchange for marketing)
Car
car hire places / dealerships
Airtime
(trading, sponsorship)
Healthcare
At the moment I am going to the government clinic to collect my medication, this is far from ideal. What I would love is a sponsorship from Discovery, from what I have heard that is the best medical aid in the country!

WANTS

These are things that I would really love to have but won’t die without. I would love to talk to you to see if we can come to an arrangement that works for both of us.
As with the needs, I am open to trading or sponsorship or you can buy me what I want in exchange for one of my services.

Clothes
Local designers
Technical Equipment
ANY APPLE PRODUCT! video cameras, microphones, lighting, tripods, office equipment [printer, scanner, copier, projector, screen])
Software
editing suite(s), design programs, and anything you can think of that would make my life easier!
Marketing
PR
Copywriting
Bloggers – helperazzi
Video editing
Film crew
Graphic design
Long distance travel

flights, bazbus, train
Consulting, coaching & training
Consciousness development, awareness training, business, social media, blogging, online marketing, tv and video production, editing
Workshops
Consciousness development, awareness training, business, social media, blogging, online marketing, tv and video production, editing
Mini Makeover for my room
I want to do a make over of my room at my parents house so that they can make money out of it after I leave. This is long overdue, the room is the same as it was when I was a kid!
I am looking for a bed, cupboard, shelving, carpets, blinds, painting…the whole nine yards
Maxi Makeover for my parents whole house
This is something that is very important to me. My parents have supported me more than most kids need supporting. After I had my breakdown almost 10 years ago they took me in and said ‘Take as long as you need to get back on your feet.’ Trouble is I am still here. I can see how my being here as impacted on their financial situation so I would like to use my way of life to support them as well as me.
This will be a big project and basically everything that could be done to improve a house I would like to do. I have asked my parents to give me a wishlist which I will post soon too.

Before I go I need to share something. In the last couple of days I really have been taking on stuff that I have struggled with and resisted for some time. It feels really good, I’m not gonna lie! Try it for yourself, it isn’t so scary :-)

Thanks for reading.

Much love

Dear Oprah & The People Who Make Up The 6 Degrees Of Separation Between My Dream & Her

I am praying for a miracle and hoping that you can help me. If you believe in miracles too please do what you can to help me.

My name is Adin, and I live in Cape Town in South Africa. I am trying to enter the Your OWN Show competition with Oprah and Mark Burnett. It’s a reality show talent search where the winner gets their own talk show on the Oprah Winfrey Network! The trouble is that my application was rejected because I am not a US resident and don’t have the right to work in the states.

The thing is, I don’t want and can’t accept a salary because I am one year into a 5 year experiment to live without money! (you can check out my website www.adin.co.za) As the No Money Guy, I would be happy to ‘work’ in the states but because I wasn’t getting paid would that not bypass the green card / right to work situation?
So, I am hoping that the producers, or Oprah herself would make an exception for me if they knew my unique circumstances.

My show will be about making a difference in the world and that would be reward enough for doing it.

I tried calling Harpo Studios but didn’t get very far :-(

Is there any way you can help me get my video to Oprah or someone who can help me to enter?

Here is my audition video that I posted on Youtube:

YouTube Preview Image

and here is a direct link if this has been forwarded to your email:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSi6QmDt3Vg

Here is a brief synopsis for the the show I intend hosting:

Welcome to Nu-buntu, ‘Change the World TV!’

Oprah pioneered ‘Change Your Life TV’ and this is how I intend to fill the space she created.
Nu-buntu is part Talk Show, part Reality Show with a bit of Social Media thrown in. This opportunity is like Idols for Talk Show hosts, my show will be like Idols for people making a difference.

I believe the world needs a new kind of celebrity. Move over David Beckham & Beyonce, Nu-buntu will create Celebrity Do-gooders & Social Celebrities.
Content for the show will be sourced from an online community. This community & the show itself will support & showcase people who use their lives to make a difference in the world.

Nu-buntu is inspired by an ancient African Philosophy called Ubuntu, which can be summed up by the following 2 statements: ‘I am because you are’ & ‘I am a person through other persons’.
Nu-buntu is Ubuntu in the 21st Century

Thank you so much!

I know this is a long shot I’ve got to try, right?

How you can help:

watch the video on Youtube

then do any of the following:
1. like it
2. share it to your social networks
3. email it to your friends and colleagues
4. tweet it to @Oprah
5. email it to Oprah via Oprah.com

and anything else you can think of :-)

maybe, just maybe, someone knows someone who knows someone who can get it to the person that needs to see it!

THANKS AGAIN

Thanks for reading.
