Brian Mills: From underground ticket collector to therapist, writer and film maker...
Brian is one of the most infectiously enthusiastic people I have ever met,
with a wonderful innocence and is a natural dreamer, in the most
positive sense.
When we first met he was working at London Underground at Temple
Station and his duties included collecting tickets. But Brian was
leading a double life on his days off, evenings and weekends!
... he was a
passionate student of spiritual and personal development ideas which he say's
started becasue he had a speech impediment as a child. As a result - he was extremely
self-conscious and had to learn how to overcome his fear and phobia. Also, he had
a life long love affair with films, loved to write and already written
articles and one book about film memorabilia.
Time to leave
Brian had been smitten with the idea that part of the trick to
happiness at work was your attitude towards your work, which helped him
enjoy what he did more.
He confided to me - “I have learned to tear
tickets with a smile on my face, tear tickets with love and tear
tickets with awareness. But I am getting fed up with tearing tickets! I
enjoy the camaraderie of the railway, but I know there must be more.”
So Brian signed up for the Unconditional Success Masterclass I started
in February 2002. During that course, run a day a month over six
months, he decided that he could actually do anything he wanted.
Through the ideas I taught, the encouragement of the group and the
belief he had in himself, Brian reconnected with his ability to dream
and then manifest his dreams.
The Time Was Right
Within that six-month period, he took early retirement from London
Underground where he had worked on and off for eighteen years. Then he
enrolled on Angel Therapy training with Doreen Virtue in USA.
On top of
that he also reconnected with a childhood dream of living by water, and
through a series of amazing coincidences found a houseboat on the
beautiful Tagg’s Island near Hampton, and decided to move home from his
old family house in East Ham, East London to the houseboat.
Brian’s passion portfolio
Brian now runs a business but doesn’t see what he does as a
business, but more of a collection of passions of his that he gets paid
for. He earns money from:
-
Writing – about movies and therapy and doing film reviews.
-
Individual readings and workshops.
-
Movie therapy – he helps people find movies that will help them grow.
Brian and has been a guest on the Richard and Judy TV show in the UK!
What does Brian love about his work now?
Brian now gets paid for doing what he would happily have been anyway and is passionate about two particular things in his work:
-
Being a creator – having ideas and making them become real – he
is fascinated by how thought become things and we can craft our lives
through the power of our imagination.
The ability to inspire people – to be able to help people believe
in new possibilities for themselves and guide them through the journey
of creating positive change.
What part did I play?
Brian told me - “You came along at the right time. I needed someone
to inspire me and look up to. It is important to have mentors – you
inspired me to go and inspire other people. You helped me develop the
confidence and self belief to revive my dreams and go for them.”
Brian has now followed his passion for movies through to actually
writing, producing and directing his first eight minute feature film
called Chic Cuisine and has a new dream of writing and directing a feature film.
Brian's tips for fellow Inspired Entrepreneurs
I finished by asking Brian what tips he has for other people wanting to follow their dreams:
- Believe in your yourself and believe in your dreams.
- Be enthusiastic and passionate - it's attractive and draws things to you.
- Keep stoking the fires of passion.
- It is OK to have lots of dreams and lots of passions, not just one!
- Get more "cheer" leaders in your life and weed out the "jeer" leaders.
