Rhonda Byrnes bizarre journey from family entertainment to The Secret Masterpiece

by todd

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.

Rhonda Byrne Background

Rhonda Byrne has been a senior producer for Australia’s Nine Network for a number of years, and prior to the formation of Prime Time Productions had no less than 20yrs experience in commercial television production.

She was a senior Segment Producer on the “Don Lane Show” - Logie Awards and other live variety productions Rhonda also developed the concept for and was Senior Producer of the successful “What’s Cooking” and Melbourne Producer of Nine’s “Midday Show”.

Prime Time Productions Timeline

1994-1997: The World’s Greatest Commercials features international and award winning TV and cinema commercials.

1997-1998: Great Escapes features reality/actuality footage, (sourced worldwide) of miraculous stories captured on film of people and animals making extraordinary escapes from death.

1998 onwards:

OZ Encounters - UFO’s in Australia is an extraordinary one-hour documentary special featuring the most astounding unexplained stories of everyday Australians’ and their experiences. Ranging from sightings by whole towns to multiple close encounters, including claimed abductions by aliens, presented and recounted firsthand by those who experienced them.

Learners is a series of episodes shot entirely on location in Australia, capturing a glimpse into the lives of everyday Australians with one thing in common - each is learning to drive and will ultimately go for their driver’s licence.

Australia Behaving Badly explores the differences between what Australians say they would do when their conscience is on the line, and what they ACTUALLY do when faced with temptation.

Marry Me is a reality program featuring love stories of real life couples on the brink of a marriage proposal.

Sensing Murder is a 90 minute true crime documentary drama television series. Each program investigates one chilling, unsolved Australian murder - with startling results.

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?

What Happens When 3 Extraordinary Teachers from “the Secret” Come Together to Teach the Science of Getting Rich?

by todd

SGRlogo_black

The Science of Getting Rich is a timeless classic written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. It is a bold title for a book and suggests that getting rich is a predictable outcome if one can master the principles outlined in the book. Here is how Wallace D. Wattles puts it in his own words, “The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.”

Certainly, this book is well referenced by many of the great teachers today and it is the same book that inspired Rhonda Byrne to produce that runaway success “the Secret”. Here is what Rhonda Byrne said on her introductory note to the book, “I can honestly say that, since that first night when a tattered printed manuscript found its way to me (thanks to one of my daughters), my life has never been the same. Once you read it for yourself, you will understand why”. Rhonda went on to produce the movie “the Secret” and the best-selling book of the same title which has sold millions of copies worldwide.

However, learning how to do things in that “certain way” as described by Wallace D. Wattles may be more challenging for some as the book was written nearly 100 years ago. Some of the language is a little dated and much of its wisdom lost from a modern day perspective.

Fortunately, a new training seminar for the Secret Science of Getting Rich has brought the wisdom of this timeless classic back to life for modern readers. Called “the Secret Science of Getting Rich Seminar”, this program is the most comprehensive training system for mastering Wallace D. Wattles wealth creation philosophies and principles since its creation. It comprises written, audio and live seminar formats for learning, applying and mastering the Science of Getting Rich.

A unique “twist” to the program is the fact that it has an in-built vehicle for creating substantial financial wealth through its affiliate program. This is truly a unique wealth eduction and wealth building program designed to empower any individual with the resources to get rich. It is a program whose time has come. The program would not be possible without the original text from Wallace D. Wattles, the skills of 3 of the leading teachers of our time, the phenomenal success of “the Secret” and the Internet as a learning and distribution tool.

Take a look at this amazing program at (insert unique URL here: www.secretSGRseminar.com).

The Secret Science of Getting Rich Teachers:

Bob Proctor

Bob Proctor
Bob Proctor is an author, lecturer, counselor, business consultant, entrepreneur, and teacher preaching the gospel of positive thinking, self-motivation and maximizing human potential. In that endeavor, he follows in the footsteps of such motivational giants as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale and Wallace D. Wattles.

His extraordinary teaching ability has won Proctor acclaim around the globe and has carried the Canadian-born motivator to the far reaches of the earth. He is as well known in Australia and Malaysia as he is in Alberta and Mississippi.

Born in a little town in northern Ontario, Canada with the low self-esteem that often befalls a family’s middle child, he performed poorly in school, dropped out and did a hitch in the navy. Afterward he drifted from one dead-end job to another until a friend introduced Bob to the concept of self-development through Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich.

With the spark generated by Hill’s words, Proctor found the initiative to start an office cleaning business which he grew to international scope in his first year of operation. From that experience - after seeing what he had been able to accomplish with just a rudimentary knowledge of personal motivation and goal-setting - he hungered for more information.

His quest took him to the Nightingale-Conant organization to study under his mentor, Earl Nightingale. Once on board, he rose swiftly through the ranks. Eventually, while the Nightingale-Conant organization assumed the forefront in wide-scale distribution of personal development programs, Bob felt the need to take his ideas and methods directly to the individual, to the one-on-one level which had proved so successful for himself.

In the mid 1970’s, Proctor established his own seminar company and secured a contract to work with a few hundred agents of Prudential Life Insurance Co. of America in Chicago. During his first seminar Bob made the suggestion that any agent present could write $5 million in business that year if the agent made a decision to do so.

The fact that the seminar took place in July with the year half over and that no agent in that region had ever written so much business in the 100-year history of the company made Bob’s suggestion appear to be outrageous. However, when the performance level of the entire division increased substantially with more than one agent actually accomplishing the deed, Bob’s reputation as a motivator was established.

Over the ensuing years, Proctor has shared his special message and expertise with hundreds of business entities worldwide and, through a program of live seminars, with thousands of people of all ages in all walks of life.

Meanwhile, in addition to his international best-seller You Were Born Rich, he found time to author other works as well, including Mission in Commission, The Winner’s Image, The Goal Achiever, The Success Series, The Success Puzzle, The Recruiting Puzzle, and Being Your Very Best.

Jack Canfield

Jack Canfield
Jack Canfield is an American motivational speaker, trainer and author. He is best known as the founder and co-creator of The New York Times No. 1 best-selling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series, which currently has over 65 titles and 80 million copies in print in over 37 languages. According to USA Today, Canfield and his writing partner, Mark Victor Hansen, were the top-selling authors in the United States in 1997.

With a BA from Harvard University, a Masters from University of Massachusetts, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Santa Monica, Canfield has been a high school and university teacher, a workshop facilitator, a psychotherapist, and for the past 30 years, a leading authority in the area of self-esteem and personal development.

Canfield is the founder of “Self Esteem Seminars” in Santa Barbara, and “The Foundation for Self Esteem” in Culver City, California. Self Esteem Seminars trains entrepreneurs, educators, corporate leaders and employees on how to accelerate the achievement of their personal and professional goals, while The Foundation for Self Esteem provides self-esteem resources and trainings to social workers, welfare recipients and human resource professionals. Canfield is also the President of Souperspeakers.com, a speaking resource service that provides inspirational speakers for event planners worldwide.

Canfield has traveled to over 21 countries, delivering hundreds of keynote speeches, workshops and trainings each year. As part of his presentation style, he always uses inspirational, motivational and uplifting stories to help his audiences discover, experience and retain key concepts and approaches. After each session, audiences everywhere had encouraged him to put his stories into a single book.

In 1990, while on an airplane home, he felt that it was time. He shared his idea with author Mark Victor Hansen during breakfast one day. Hansen liked the idea, and so began the Chicken Soup for the Soul phenomenon. But with their busy schedules, translating what worked on the podium onto the written page proved more challenging than either of them had anticipated. After three long years, the two had compiled just sixty-eight stories — a far cry from the 101 they believed was the magic number for a successful book. Nonetheless, their successful partnership has spawned many other titles that have made them enormously famous.

Canfield has appeared on numerous television shows, including Good Morning America, 20/20, Eye to Eye, CNN’s Talk Back Live, PBS and the BBC. Today, he speaks shares his success strategies with companies and associations worldwide.

The most recent book Canfield has written was the 2005 publication of The Success Principles. In it Canfield shares 64 principles that he and other people have utilized to achieve great levels of success.

Michael Beckwith

Michael Bernard Beckwith
Michael Bernard Beckwith is a world leader and teacher in the New Thought–Ancient Wisdom tradition of spirituality. He is the founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center, cofounder of the Association for Global New Thought, and the Season for Nonviolence, which are extensions of his vision of one human family united on a foundation of peace, based on the spiritual origin of every man, woman, and child.

In 1986 Dr. Beckwith founded the Agape International Spiritual Center, a transdenominational community which today counts a membership of 9,000 devoted to the study and practice of New Thought–Ancient Wisdom. Agape’s outreach programs feed the homeless, serve incarcerated individuals and their families, advocate the preservation of the planet’s environmental resources, and globally build and support orphanages whose children have survived the ravages of war and AIDS.

Dr. Beckwith’s renown as a harbinger of the world’s quest for peace has drawn into his visionary orbit those whose names are synonymous with this goal. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi, shares with Dr. Beckwith the national co-directorship of A Season for Nonviolence (SNV). SNV promotes and teaches the principles of nonviolence embodied by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and is endorsed by UNESCO on behalf of its Culture of Peace and Nonviolence Appeal by Nobel Peace laureates. Other notable supporters include Dr. C.T. Vivian, Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne of Sri Lanka, His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet, Coretta Scott King, and Dr. Robert Muller.

As cofounder and president of the Association for Global New Thought, Dr. Beckwith stands, along with other co-creative leaders, members, and friends, at the threshold of an evolutionary leap that dares to call an end to human suffering. As its voice, Dr. Beckwith guides activities such as AGNT’s annual Awakened World Conference, bringing together scientists, sociologists, spiritual leaders, economists, and international forecasters—individuals with proven track records in guiding humanity to its highest potential.

Dr. Beckwith teaches meditation, scientific prayer, and speaks at conferences and seminars. He is the originator of the Life Visioning Process, a time-tested technique offering its practitioners a method for putting a stop to being a passive tourist in one’s life. He is author of Inspirations of the Heart (currently nominated as a finalist for the Nautilus Book Award), Forty Day Mind Fast Soul Feast, A Manifesto of Peace, and Living from the Overflow.
