Success Comes Naturally To Some

I was watching a story on TV the other day about Tiger Woods. Apparently he was shooting a commercial but in between breaks he was fiddling with a Rubik’s cube. He placed it on the ground, hit it, and it landed right in the hole! He was just as shocked as everyone else!

Tiger Woods is a person who oozes with success. It’s as if everything he does will be successful. There’s others out there like him as well.

A good friend of mine, Nik Halik, can also be classed as a person who seems to attract success with everything he does. He started setting goals when he was a young boy and he’s almost achieved everything he wrote down and is known as the "Thrillionaire", however, success doesn’t happen without effort. To be successful at anything you have to be prepared to put in the time and have a "never give up" attitude.

"Passion for life and for our work is a critical element of success and abundance.
Passion is a virtually unstoppable, attitudinal force that generates energy, creativity and productivity.
When you love what you do, it’s difficult not to succeed" Richard Carlson.

If someone like Nik Halik can come from very humble beginnings and end up being a "Thrillionaire", then it shows that anyone can achieve success. It’s all in your attitude.

Nik Halik - Adventurer, Entrepreneur And Now Author

I recently wrote an article about my friend Nik Halik, and I described him as a “Thrillionaire”.

Well it seems that Nik has just released his new book called “The Thrillionaire”, so he’s certainly carrying on with his nickname.

Recently, Nik Halik sat down and was interviewed by Hanna Mills from mxNews in Brisbane, Australia. In the interview he was asked a series of questions about his life and how he gained a sense of adventure. Nik is well known as a former rock star, a tornado chaser and a wealth strategist, and he can now add author to his string of accomplishments.

Some of his answers show his yearning for adventure and his desire to become an entrepreneur from an early age. At just eight years old he states that he wrote a screenplay for his life and he’s been acting it out ever since.

One of the most amazing things he’s done is to sleep inside Egypt’s Pyramid of Giza, because Alexander The Great, Napoleon, Sir Isaac Newton and Herodotus also slept there!

His number one objective, after he does a stint at the International Space Station, is to walk on the moon, and if anyone is going to do it, then Nik Halik will!

Nik is the son of working-class Greeks who migrated to Australia when he was young, and he attributes a lot of his success to his father who gave him the best advice when he told him, “you are whom you associate with”. And he also said to him, “make your dissatisfaction work for you”, which means if you are continually dissatisfied, it is a positive energy”.

No wonder Nik Halik is loving life! Everything he’s set out to achieve has so far been realized!

Nik Halik - Australian “Thrillionaire”

“If you aim at nothing, then you will have amazing accuracy,” he says with a sincerity that immediately grabs attention.

Nik Halik is not your average Aussie millionaire.

Nik Halik is the Founder and CEO of Financial Freedom Institute (FFI), Money Masters Global and co-founder of The Intelligence Group of companies. He is a Global Wealth Strategist, Successful Entrepreneur, and International Speaker. Nik Halik became a multi-millionaire and amassed great wealth through savvy investments in Property and the Stock Market in his late 20’s. His group of companies have financially educated and life coached over 200,000 individuals globally.

But he’s achieved so much more! He’s also an Astronaut, High Adrenalin Adventurer and Best Selling Author.

Among his various expeditions, he was one of the first Australians to dive down five miles and land on the bow of the Titanic. He has summited the highest mountains in the world and was one of the privileged select explorers in the world to view the curvature of the earth from the edge of space. He is the very first flight-qualified and certified civilian astronaut from Australia and is also set to become the first ever Australian and private space explorer to rocket to outer space and temporarily reside on Earth’s only manned outpost in orbit, the International Space Station.

AS A child growing up in Melbourne’s Airport West, Nik Halik read Herge’s “Destination Moon” and dreamed of walking on the moon, just like Tintin. He won’t land on the moon but he will come close to achieving that dream by spending $3 million.

He has been selected as the back-up for the next commercial flight to the Russian International Space Station, run by the world’s first space airline, Space Adventures.

“I have already been to the edge of space, 20 miles (32 kilometres) from the surface of the earth,” he said. “Now we are talking about 250 miles from the earth.”

If billionaire computer game developer Richard Garriott fails his tests to get on board, Nik Halik said he would take over. Mr Garriott is paying $30 million to head up the mission to the space station in October 2008. Being back-up also put him in a good position to lead the next flight in 2009

“My primary goal is to walk on the surface of the moon,” Mr Halik said. “The International Space Station is close enough for the time being.”

I bet he will do it too. He isn’t called “thrillionaire” for nothing!
