It was the first full length movie to market itself exclusively on the Internet for Internet users to purchase and see.
The gist of the movie, i.e., the "secret", is that we've always been in COMPLETE control of our lives creating our own reality and only now is that information becoming widely available.
Well, there is another secret that no one is ever really going to tell you (except me) that no one wants you to know.
The new secret is that for every person who says, believes and practices the words "You're completely in charge of life. You create your reality." there will 100,000 other people who won't even try to live up to that even if they think they are.
As an example of this is the prevalence of obesity in this opulent society. This wasn't a problem until now and people know that all they have to do to get their weight under control is take responsibility for their diet and exercise and they will to stay thin. Pretty simple.
But do they? No. It's just too hard.
The fact is that accepting responsibility for your life is, for most, just too much darn work. Just look at all the people who go to a hypnotist to lose weight thinking it's a magic pill and all they do is go to sleep. Later they whine "It's not working." when the truth is They are not working.
So the good news is you're completely in charge of your reality.
The bad news is most people don't like the responsibility.
The more good news is that we can now exploit the bad news and begin to market simple, lazy-mans solutions to everyday problems while reinforcing that "It's not your fault".
Let's think of it as a conspiracy. On the one hand we'll teach personal responsibility and take money from people who want to have us teach that to them. On the other hand we can tell the rest of the people "It's not your fault but I can help with my special "magic" pill/program/process and solve your problem."
It's the best damn conspiracy I can think of!!!!
I think other people have figured it out I just the first I know to openly admit it.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for everyone taking responsibility for their lives. It's something we should all aspire to. But I'm also are realist because it goes completely against our nature.

Even fewer people realize how many different ways you can use them to get free publicity, increase your search engine rankings, and make yourself a media celebrity in your field.
I'm talking about "news alerts."
Google offers Google News Alerts at www.news.google.com. Look in the column to the left of the page.
Yahoo has a similar service, as do a number of other web portals and news outlets.
News alerts are the Internet's new -- and one of its most powerful -- secrets weapons for attracting attention from radio, TV and newspaper reporters.
You can sign up for news alerts for free. Then you choose keywords related to your industry, and whenever those keywords show up in a news story--practically anywhere--you get an email notification and a link to the story..
News alerts allow you to identify and contact the journalist who did the story to suggest a follow up, offer another angle, etc. on the story they've already done.
You can even set up news alerts for a competitor's name. If they're quoted in a story somewhere, you'll be notified by email. That gives you an opportunity to contact the reporter who wrote the story and position yourself as a future resource for similar pieces.
You can also set up your news alerts so that every time your name appears in the media, it sends you an email notification.
It's a great way to find out when your news releases, tip sheets, or articles have been published. This can be extremely valuable since people who print your stuff don't always let you know they're doing it.
Furthermore, when you find out that something by you or about you has been published, you can get copies or reprints to use in a multitude of ways to further establish your credentials with the media.
For instance, you can print out stories you may want to include in your media kit, or even mail to journalists to reassure them that your topic really IS newsworthy-- and that you indeed ARE an expert in your field.
I got quite a giggle -- and a little bit of a shock -- when I set up a news alert for my own name recently.
I got an alert from Google a few days later telling me the name "George McKenzie" had appeared in a Scottish TV story.
When I clicked on the link, I found out it wasn't really about me--it was about a Scottish lawyer named Sir George McKenzie, an advisor to King Charles the Second 300 years ago.
I won't give you the details here -- a little too gruesome for a family friendly article. But you can read it if you choose by clicking on

News alerts are one of the Internet's most important developments for helping people get the attention of the media.
They're free, easy, versatile, valuable, and best of all--your competitors probably don't have a clue they exist.
