The Secret To The Secret

Am so glad I went through a tough time after the dinner experience. Read previous blog. Spend the next few days agonizing. Became totally incapacitated. As usual my nature is always to find the solution.

Yes have been to many seminars. Learn under gurus the likes of Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki...etc. Interesting enough one of my seminar buddy from Hong Kong told me that he was so inspired after the UPW. So fired up and when I saw him again during the next seminar he said he crashed landed after a week. He said no support from Tony Robbins seminar gang.

Tony said change can happened in an instant! I am going to tell you that it is rubbish. You can't change who you are. In fact there are so many things about you that is so precious why change you?

Change the picture you have in your head about you. But you are not a still. Your head have an ongoing story about you, about life, about your perception of others and of yourself. It is a movie. It is a story.

Don't change the story!!!! How can you forget you? Your experience?

REPLACE THAT STORY! CREATE A BRAND NEW STORY !

How?? Well they try to teach you that at seminars and after awhile most people go back to where they are.

And then came 'The Secret' movie. Wow it took me 3 months of continuous daily watching before I really got the gist of it. Remember the 'gay guy' who put on the earphones and do visualizing? Wow he must have a great gift to be able to visualize. Most of us don't!

And then there was the guy with the vision board and how he visualize daily. Yah great.... did that. But it still did not have an emotional impact on me.

Emotional impact is the greatest impetus. It moves mountains.

So what is the story??

VISUALISE WITH MUSIC. Replace your old movie with a new movie as to how you would like to see your life and live it.

Eh? What do I mean? I mean you can literally create a new movie and watch it. You don't even have to visualize it!

Err err lost?

Don't worry. Will let you in in my next letter.

Frienship

Last night had two friends over for dinner. Cooked a five course dinner and we had a lively conversation about the food I had prepared and how to incorporate them into my cafe menu. We were long time friends. 25 years. Of course many old stories were retold and old personal issues were raise. Sensitivity was high. Many things were said.

I must have touch on a real sore point. Abruptly dinner ended as one of my friend stood up being very upset and said that it is time to leave and just walked out. That left me with a heavy heart.

The dinner was to bring our friendship to another level. Guess I have lost an old friend.

The making of Crunchy Falafel

Falafel must be the tastiest fritters ever created. Everybody loves fried food if we were not told by doom sayers that they are not good for you. It is not the fried food that is not good for you and in my case it is not the fried yummy crunchy Falafel is not good for you, it is the oil!

Almost all commercial cooking oil has been treated with caustic soda to remove impurities and this is the killer. So find your good cooking oil and give your food a good crunch!

Have been making falafel from scratch daily for almost two year. I want to start a cafe and have falafel sandwich as my signature dish. Done lots of research and always get the comment that the premix is yuks! A friend of mine who flew to Perth Australia got so excited when she went to a Lebanese grocery store and saw falafel premix. She bought me a kilo. Bless her.

By then I have spend a year testing out making my own premix. So when she brought me the store bought ones I fried hers and mine for lunch with her family without telling which is mine.

The texture came out very different and of course the recipe and taste was different. The kids and gang crunched away the entire plate of my falafel goo gooing and ahh ahhing. The store bought ones were chewy and not crunchy. Falafel is always meant to be crunchy so how on earth did that product get in the store?

Hmm nice. That could be another biz that I can get into. Right now my focus is making my cafe come through. Still have lots of work to do. Can't just sell falafel and nothing else. I have to work out an entire menu but featuring falafel. And most importantly I want to create a lifestyle cafe based on falafel sandwich. Not a cheap eat joint. I think we have been doing disservice to falafel for a very long time. It is time to change that perception.

So now there is the concept to do. The menu to plan. The biz plan to. The money to raise. You will be so surprise to have the amount of people telling you what else you can do. So they send me on a round the world trip of going from one concept to another.

Learning to be an entrepreneur is a journey. I have a goal. That is to build a world wide franchise of lifestyle cafe where sensual food is served fresh. Yes it will be healthy eating that we share but that is not what we sell. We all enjoy food. We don't want to be constantly be bombarded with nutritional facts! I want a place where you can enjoy your food sensually without having to think about the content. That is our job.

Your is just have a good time and a wonderful meal without being bogged down with heavy food.

To all my Namale family I like to say a big Hi. After our wonderful stay together I know we are out there living our dreams. This blog is one way for us to keep in touch and to let you guys know what I am doing. Please leave your comments, ideas and most of all your encouragements.
