Tonight at 8pm, ABC will air its second Secret Millionaire <\/em>episode.<\/p>\n

It’s a show some call inspiring, and others (those, possibly, with an eye for self-reliant behavior) call just interesting.<\/p>\n

In a very uncharacteristic move, I’m refraining from telling you the level of\u00a0conviction I have for either side of the spectrum (er, for now!) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But, well… heh… maybe just a hint.<\/p>\n

Certainly, I’m licking my chops to be first in line to see the coming Atlas Shrugged <\/a><\/em><\/strong>movie release (April 15th 2011), which undoubtedly will be chastised by every government payroll leech, every anti-capitalist, every greater-good elitist, and all those who eschew achievement and the concept of being rewarded for the fruits of one\u2019s labor.<\/p>\n

So, enter the other side of the coin: A TV show based upon a hit UK series that selected several millionaires to mix it up with those mainly experiencing life through welfare-level wages.<\/p>\n

The goal<\/strong>: To find ordinary<\/span> (read: broke but still courageous) people doing extraordinary<\/span> (read: selfless) things for those in need.\"\"<\/p>\n

Certainly the premise is designed for the Masses who need a reminder that, even in the face of economic worries (not to mention natural disasters, political uprisings, debt concerns, and the fear and uncertainly that TV accentuates), HOPE is still alive.<\/p>\n

Then, again, as we’ve mentioned in various prior LWL posts<\/a>… HOPE, if mainly relied upon for a sense of comfort and ease, can stall individual progress and production\u00a0too.<\/p>\n

But, before I renege on my promise of not getting carried away with my overly-critical thinking about the show, I’ll just let you decide.<\/p>\n

After you watch the first two episodes online here<\/a>, tell us what you think by using the comments section of this post.<\/p>\n

And, oh, by the way, a future Secret Millionaire<\/em> to appear on the show has been making a foundational difference in people’s lives by helping them instill the beliefs, habits, and correct thinking around money for several years now.<\/p>\n

After you watch prior episodes, click here<\/strong><\/a> to see the strategies this Las Vegas multi-millionaire <\/a>used to\u00a0be one of the most highly paid people in his field.<\/p>\n
