βThe quicker you align your present behaviour with the behaviour of people who already have, are achieving and are experiencing the results you aspire to, the faster you get those results. In fact, the result will so closely follow the behaviour alignment that it will seem instant.β

Behaving like wealthy, successful people is far more advantageous than simply
thinking like them (although thinking certainly plays a part). We give up on our
‘big idea’ not because we stop thinking about it but because we stop doing the
things we need to do to get us to the point we want to get to. So why do we stop
doing the things we need to do?
Typically because we start doubting our own ability, we hit obstacles we feel we
can’t overcome and revert back to ‘our old way of thinking’. By surrounding
ourselves with people who have already been there and done it we realise that
just about every entrepreneurial success story in existence is littered with
tales of self-doubt, insurmountable obstacles, fear and adverse circumstances.
By reminding ourselves of this fact regularly, hearing from ordinary people who
have achieved extraordinary things (that would be our Giants!) and bringing our
own behaviour into alignment with that of those who have already ‘made it’ it
becomes almost impossible not to replicate similar results. Indeed you have to
do certain things and you have to develop a way to circumnavigate consistently
around ‘problems’ and in order to do both these things you need to immerse
yourself in an environment which supports this way of thinking and behaving.
Meet The Giants is precisely that environment. Imagine having dinner with over
100 of the world’s top entrepreneurs and tap into the way they think and act,
find out about the strategies they have used and continue to use to achieve the
success they enjoy and extract that wisdom and knowledge into your own One Page
Giant’s Masterplan.
There is nowhere else on earth that you can stand on the shoulders of giants
every week of the year without paying huge sums of money. We have created a
dream environment for any entrepreneur looking to make big things happen in
their business.
As a director of the UK’s fastest ever selling UK franchise, author and
entrepreneur, Mike Giles has a long-held interest in business and the
individuals behind commercial excellence.
Coached by Bob Proctor (star of The Secret) and Valerie Vauthey (coach to Lance
Armstrong), Mike quickly recognised that the world’s most entrepreneurial
individuals were far more than a source of inspiration – their experience and
approaches could make a difference to aspirational business people everywhere.
His decision to record their insights, advice and experiences was the first step
in an exciting journey that would result in the creation of Meet The
Giants.
I consider myself to have led a charmed working life. Much of the past 16 years
of my life have been spent working within a family-run book publishing company
specialising in the production of high quality trade and limited editions. I was
involved in not only the day to day running of the company but in promoting and
selling the often high-profile (contemporary music business and social
documentation) projects. Being part of a small team allowed me the freedom to
use my own initiative, to be creative and to feel I was making an important
contribution to each project.
Due to the nature of the projects my work often afforded me the opportunity to
meet and work with inspiring and successful people. I worked extensively on the
compilation of books including ‘What’d I Say’ The Atlantic Story with Ahmet
Ertegun a co-founder of Atlantic Records and ‘A History of Virgin Records’ with
Richard Branson. There is no doubt that spending time with people who are
passionate about what they do has had a positive influence on my life.
And now all these years later, I once again feel privileged to be helping create
an environment for aspiring entrepreneurs to discover new insights and
inspirations from the world’s top entrepreneurs.
With a background in sport, a serious interest in spirituality, a long lasting love for marketing & communication, a talent for networking and building amazing relationships with people from all over the world and born with a natural flair for public speaking & performing, business owner and single mother of four kids, Hilde Makkinje was drawn to the Giants Project to become the Meet The Giants V.I.G. Invitations Master β inviting Very Important Giants to take part in the project.
"I saw the Opportunity Mike gave me, when he asked me to get involved and to do all the V.I.P. Invit ations for his program. I was very excited and said , without hesitation: Mike, consider me in.. ."
And so I got to work and proceeded despite what others said.. . (others have a strange way of thinking they know what's best for me!) I just did it and kept my focus, even while going through a rough divorce at the time... K.I.S.S. M.E. It's Possible became my new Insight and Acronymn; Keep It Simple Sunshine, Manifest Everything, It's Possible ."
Personally trained by Bob Proctor, Les Brown, Paul Martinelli & Jay Abraham and having friends and relations all over the planet, she invited a host of highly successful entrepreneurs and experts from around the world to be interviewed as the 'Giants' - some were friends and acquaintances and others were people who have inspired her over the years. Hil has again proven that her insights, merged with the teachings she had, to become successful, wealthy and to get all you've ever wanted...really work...
According to Hil, life IS all about magic & miracles... just be grateful for eveything.
