How Can I Be Of Service To You?

February 24th, 2010 No Comments

Just because I don’t spend money doesn’t mean I don’t work. Just like everybody else, in order to be successful and get what I want, I must find ways to be valuable to people, and be of service.

I thought it was time to remind you of the types of things that I do:

Life Coaching
Consciousness Coaching® is a brand of coaching developed my Marc Steinberg of Creative Consciousness International.

Coaching is a professional, result-orientated dialogue about all personal and working issues. It aims to generate and expand success and personal growth, producing exponential breakthrough results through insight and action. For more info on coaching, please visit the website www.consciousnesscoaching.co.za

Marketing/Advertising
If you offer me your product/service/resources/support/advice, or generally help me to live without spending money and to give lots and lots of it away, you and your business will get exposure to people following my story.

I will blog about you, tweet about you and even upload videos to Facebook and YouTube. I do not have a rate card or anything like that and will not promise ‘x-number’ words in a blog post or ‘y-many’tweets if you give me something. This is where the authenticity comes in – I will write and share what I am moved to write and share.

Social Media Services
I may not be an expert but I do know my way around Facebook and Twitter. If you are new to social media or not familiar with all its wonderful opportunities and possiblities, I can show you how.
Let me help you create a group/event/fan page on Facebook or set up an account on Twitter.

Also, I have quite a few friends on Facebook (1853, to be exact) so I can invite my friends to your event /group or suggest they become a fan of your page.

House-sitting
If you are not going to be home for whatever reason, why not let me look after your pets, plants and property. I am a non smoking, non drinking all round good guy and I am pretty damn responsible.

Designated driver
As your designated driver I will drive my scooter to your house, pick you up and drive your car to pick up your other mates and head out on the town. I join you on your night out and you split the costs of my evening between you – if you go to dinner…I eat, if you go to a party…you pay for me to get in and you keep me hydrated with non alcoholic beverages. Then when you decide it’s home time, I drop everybody off safe and sound and then drive home on my scooter.

Inter-personal assistant
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone had a personal assistant to take care of that stuff? But seriously, who can afford a full time personal assistant anyway? In fact, who needs one? We can take care of most things that come our way but every now and then we need a bit of help…that’s where I come in!

As your interpersonal assistant I can do those once-off, random, inconvenient things that you just can’t get to. And you can share me…I don’t mind.

My Right Arm
MY RIGHT ARM launched at the beginning of the year and is my answer to the question “What are you willing to do to live without spending money?” Quite literally, I am giving MY RIGHT ARM, are at least advertising space on MY RIGHT ARM to friends of mine with businesses.
I am creating 25 extremely unique advertising opportunities on MY RIGHT ARM for brands who would like to support me in my quest to live with out spending money. If your product or service can help me live well, or do the things that I need to do, get in touch with me, you could be next to have your logo tattooed on MY RIGHT ARM.

Public talks/motivation/inspiration
Remember Calvin Dorman, of Calvinbusiness.co.za, my friend who agreed to buy me petrol for the rest of my 5 year experiment? The deal that we struck was that I will give a talk per month at Calvin’s business networking and goal setting club, E=mc3.I will be happy to offer similar talks to other companies, organisations or clubs.

So that’s what I have to offer. Anyone out there want what I’ve got to give?

If you want to do a trade of some kind, here is how to get hold of me:

Long Overdue Update

February 17th, 2010 1 Comment

Hi Friends,

I hope you are all doing well.

So far, 2010 has been pretty damn good to me. There have been ups and downs but definitely more ups than downs…touch wood (what a weird thing to say, I wonder where touch wood comes from)

WARNING! This is a bit of a long update, I won’t be offended if you don’t read all of it. If you are interested, please read on :-)

Anyway, I have a few exciting projects this year. Some have launched already and some are launching very soon.

555 T-SHIRTS


Coming soon is 555 T-SHIRTS, my first social enterprise project. What I mean by social enterprise is that it is a project that runs like a business, designed to make money to be given away. It’s high time, I got cracking on my goal of giving away R555 555 555.55 – I got a long way to go still!

I am developing a unique business model that allows friends of mine who believe in my crazy goal to partner up with me by contributing their ideas, skills and resources.
All partners will be sharing in 50% of turnover generated by this project, the other 50% will be giving to charity.
My first 2 partners are Jonathan Kapelus and Lourens van Dyk.

This is just the nutshell version of 555 T-SHIRTS…stay tuned for more info.

Please note that from now on I will be looking for more and more partners to launch more and more businesses.
If you would like to test this unique 50/50 model with me PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME! It’s a great opportunity to make some money and make a difference at the same time

THE ENLIGHTENED MANIFESTORS CLUB

Then, starting this Saturday is the first of a series of public talks that I will be giving at THE ENLIGHTENED MANIFESTOR’S CLUB (E=mc3). Remember Calvin Dorman, of Calvinbusiness.co.za, my friend who agreed to buy me petrol for the rest of my 5 year experiment? The deal that we struck was that I will give a talk per month at Calvin’s business networking and goal setting club, E=mc3.

Calving and I at Mugg & Bean sealing the petrol for speaking deal

E=mc3 is a weekly event with me as a guest speaker once a month, cool hey? The subject of my first talk is POSSIBILITY. I hope you will be able to make it. There will be a Facebook event up shortly.

Right, this is actually an area where you can help me.
I have been agonising about what to talk about. Maybe it is just nerves because I have only done a handful of talks. I rather think it has to do with the fact that I see myself more of a conversationalist than a speaker. I am not so comfortable with the idea of me standing in front of people just telling them my story.
So, I have decided to build my talk around questions, questions from you guys. I guess, if I am responding to questions it will feel more authentic to me. So please, can you submit your question or questions ASAP, I would like to include them.
Please note, I will be recording all my talks so you will be able to see me answer your question, cool hey?

Here is an example of the kinds of questions you might want to ask. These have been submitted Michelle Chamroo:

-What inspired you to go without money for five years?
-Do you have a plan for sustaining this lifestyle?
-How do you envisage meeting your aims, and have your aims/objectives changed since you started?
-Has your experience of being a life coach assisted you?
-Are you happy? : )

Awesome, thanks guys.

I do have much more to share but I think this is good for now, I promise to be more in touch from now on.

Much love
Adin

Frame By Frame, My Right Arm Will Become The Most Famous Arm In The World

January 20th, 2010 No Comments

People get famous for different reasons.

Some people get famous in traditional ways like being really good at something. Like being a great artist, singer, musician, actor or sports star.

Some people get famous for doing something really great for the world. Like Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King or Albert Einstein.

Other people get famous for doing stuff on TV in reality shows. These people sometimes don’t even have to be good at what they do, and can become famous for the sake of being famous. I’m talking about people like Paris Hilton (vomit), the Kardashians (more vomit), Ozzie Osbourne’’s kids, that slag Heidi Montag from Laguna Beach or that loser who didn’t even win Survivor, Jonny Fair Play from Survivor.

Then there are people who get famous doing interesting, meaningful, creative, random or even scandalous stuff online. This seems to be the latest trend.

Have you heard about the guy who traded One Red Paper Clip for a house? Kyle MacDonald started with one red paper clip and over a series of 14 trades from 2005 to 2006 had a house. This story inspired my friend Telana Simpson to do something similar with One Matchstick.  She is trading for offices though, not a house.

What about the movie Julie and Julia…heard about that? It’s about a woman called Julie Powell who in 2002 wrote a blog about cooking Julia Child recipes for a year. Just been made into a movie with Meryl Streep as Julia and Amy Adams as Julie…which is nice.

Matt Harding is a guy who got famous for dancing around the world, badly. His site Where the Hell is Matt features plenty videos of him dancing badly in various parts of the world. People just loved the videos and they spread virally, big time.

According to TechCult’s Top 100 Web Celebrities a lot of people have become famous on the web for various reasons. At 100 is Alex Tew, who came up with a clever way to pay for college. His Million Dollar Homepage project is genius! He sold pixels on his homepage and made more than enough money to pay his tuition!

At the top of that same list is Tila Tequila, a stripper…oops I mean video star, who made a million friends on Myspace then ended up having her own reality show. It was a bisexual version of those lank-people-living-in-a-mansion-competing-to-date-one-person-type-shows called A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.  (quality viewing)

Why am I telling you all this?

Well, I have come up with a way to make My Right Arm the most  famous arm in the world. It is also a genius way of living for 5 years without spending money. On the 5th of May 2009 I gave up using money, and have been successful in surviving since then. Problem is I am tired of just surviving…I want to thrive like everyone else.

To live without money I need to find creative ways to add value to people who will give me things or do stuff for me. Everything is an exchange right? I’ve learned that exposure is very valuable and that a unique sponsorship opportunity may the most valuable thing that I can trade with people.

People have been asking me what am I willing to do to live without money, and the answer is I’m willing to give My Right Arm…literally. Instead of selling pixels, I am trading space on My Right Arm. That’s right, I am giving branding opportunities to 25 people’s businesses or give me their product or service for free or buy me something I really need.

I have just started this campaign, but here are some videos I’ve got so far:

If you are reading this on Facebook, please watch this video on Youtube

Now if you go and tell all your friends about this crazy idea of mine, then I can become a web celebrity too and it won’t be too long until there is My Right Arm, the movie. All that’s left is to answer the question…

Who’s going to play you?

I’m thinking Edward Norton for me… :-)
