How did Rhonda Byrne go from producing generic, mediocre family entertainment shows to the life-changing masterpiece The Secret since the start of Prime Time Productions in 1994?

Everybody knows by now that The Secret is not actually something new- the law of attraction has been around since time began and those lucky enough to know it, like Newton or Shakespeare, have used it to manifest their own desires and achieve anything. However despite this the law of attraction has never been in the public eye as much as it is now and this is down to the creativity and vision of Rhonda Byrne, director of The Secret and the company principal of Prime Time Productions based in Melbourne Australia.

BUT- do you know the portfolio of shows that Prime Time Productions has produced since it was founded? I thought I’d share with you a bit on Rhonda’s background and the timeline of Prime Time Productions:

But before I do that I’ll quickly share my take on what I consider ‘trashy’.

Now I must admit I have watched a lot of trashy TV in my time and I’m sure your lying if you say you haven’t done the same. You’ll all be familiar with the generic shows that seem to reach every country in the world to stew our brains on a saturday evening when we should be doing better things.

You know the ones I’m talking about- KIDS or ANIMALS or PETS or RELATIVES or WHATEVER SAY or DO the funniest things, Candid Camera in the US or You’ve been framed in the UK, Gladiators, Neighbours from hell, World’s most amazing … ETC

Anyway I think you get the idea. I must admit these shows don’t exactly float my boat and watching TV nowadays I’d like to think is only on a quality and not quantity basis.

From Generic to Truly Inspirational. . .

2006: The Secret An original concept created for the world by Rhonda Byrne for Prime Time Productions and commissioned by the Nine Network. The Secret premieres as a two hour movie featuring direct-to-viewer interview, dramatic recreation, historical re-enactment, comedy, animation, graphic design, and CGI. The Secret incorporates all of these cutting edge techniques for maximum impact… to demonstrate the universal truths of The Secret with absolute clarity.

This is such a bold and remarkable step that Rhonda took. She really must have harnessed the Law of Attraction in her life to make such a leap.

I’m sure many of these generic TV shows have won awards in the past BUT can they truly have impacted on millions of people’s lives in the way The Secret has?
