People are always asking me, "Where is the money coming from."
The Money?
The Money will come I tell them.
I am certain.
As certain as Sunday following Saturday.
No doubt about it.
The money is almost here.
But an answer such as that is not good enough for most people.
Especially those people who would like to invest, but don't want to be the first.
I understand.
Some people are risk averse, others are not.
Most people are followers and very few are leaders.
I am looking for leaders.
The money is coming is a real answer though, especially when you have total faith in the universe supporting your work.
If people were always worried about the money, then half the projects in the world wouldn't come to fruition.
Don't worry about the money I say.
Build the strongest team possible and go out and achieve your goal for no great task ever got accomplished with a bunch of people only doing something because they were getting paid to do so.
People must be passionate about their work and together their passion will allow them to achieve the end results, no matter how big or small.
Sometimes when people ask me where the money is coming from, I tell I am headed to Dubai to meet with Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
This is actually true for I am talking with players in Dubai and will go present my project to The Al Maktoum Foundation sometime in the very near future.
I am waiting for them to out me on their schedule.
I cant rush things and I certainly cant tell the Price to speed it up.
All I know is the money is coming from so many different directions, I cant exactly pin point it.
That's the truth.
I have never had any doubt the money would come as soon as I was in the right spot.
Finding the right people to help me make this happen has been tough because I was in the wrong city for an entertainment based endeavor. But now, since I am living in LA, I am closer than I have ever been.
I am certain this baby is almost there.
The money always comes in if you believe in your work and focus on producing your goals with honor and passion.
You mustn't give up.
Never, ever give up if you can see it, taste it, and breath it.
That means its right around the corner.
And when you think you cant take any more, you must never ever give up.
KEEP on doin' what you must to get the job done and see your vision through.
The Wise Man is he who has a dream and continues on his path in pursuit of his dreams and vision beyond all reasonable doubt for he knows truth and love will always persevere.
The Wise Man has The Universe on his side. Such a feeling is very powerful and can not be mistaken for anything other than divine inspiration and intervention leading to the ultimate fulfillment.
Nay sayers will always down size a project of great size for they have no idea how they themselves would accomplish such a great task.
Nay Sayers never dream, they hold judgement and contempt for people who do dream.
Nay Sayers dismiss projects they can and cant see for they feel inferior to the world around them. Some people are permanent nay sayers and downers.
Steer clear of these type individuals for they are energy suckers and the last people who will ever be needed in bringing a vision to reality.
Dreamers get bashed for not being able to take the appropriate steps needed to implement a dream on their own. Thing is, most large dreams take vision, planning, financial backing, execution, and plenty of follow through from a team.
Completion of a large dream is not always a dreamer or visionaries fault for there are many steps to bringing any vision to fruition. If a dreamer wants something bad enough and works hard enough, it will occur.
Large dreams always take longer than expected, but will eventually happen if the universe is in favor of the overall vision. The Universe is in favor of visions that create community, spread wealth, and bring peace and happiness to many people.
Most the time dreams do not come to fruition because the dream is not feasible or because the money can not be secured. But if the dreamer wants something bad enough, they will achieve it.
A dreamer is not a dreamer when they follow through and achieve what they set out to accomplish. They are much more than that. They are a master manifest or.
Big dreams take time and a network. With a network and positive energy like the one INTERGALACTIC GOLF has surrounding it, we are certain great things are working in the Universe and coming to fruition.
People feel threatened and overwhelmed with ideas they can not grasp or do not know how to complete.
Its easy to dismiss great ideas rather than follow them through to completion.
And since the majority of the world are talkers and people who cant finish anything, why would one finish a project of the size I am speaking.
Why follow through an insurmountable task that has never, ever before been conceived or proved before?
Again, if that were the case, then plenty of the worlds greatest products and inventions would never come about.
The Energy, desire, and team is gathering.
I am certain my dreams and vision for The Future of Golf and Entertainment are coming to fruition quicker than expected.
Everything is a process and some take longer than others.
This vision, has definitely taken time.
I don't necessarily like how long this process has taken, but I wont give up.
I am four years closer than I was four years ago.
The project and vision is at the right place at the right time.
We are here and ready to capitalize.
It is very close.
I can taste it and see it.
I breath it.
Enough with the Philosophy.
Today, I had a morning meeting with Alex Rose, a former agent for Excel Sports.
Nice guy.
Talked with Alex for a while and then called Attorney Lori Landew.
Lori is a cool woman who lives in Phili. She is an entertainment attorney whom I believe could offer a lot of assistance for this project, but again, she wonders where the money is coming from.
When I told her I maxed out three cards in the process, she cringed.
Haa!
She responded with, that doesn't sound so good.
Lori is a nice person.
I like her.
She says its easy to risk it all when you don't have anything to loose.
She is right.
Still, I laugh at people who are so calculated and never take a risk.
Its so funny to see.
Lori is very nice and said she would be willing to help me along the way.
That was really good of her.
She gave me great references and I actually called Neil Levine, the VP at Capitol Records Urban Music Department. He called me back and we spoke for a brief moment about Lori.
Neil praised her and I figure she would be great for the position.
I will keep her in mind for the future and am glad to know her.
Build the team.
Build the team and the dream will come.
Build it and they will come.
Plenty of people have great ideas and want free legal assistance.
As people will come to find out, betting on Luke Kohl, is a very smart move.
At 11:15am, I jumped on the 5S to 110 to the 10W.
I was headed to Rancho Park Golf Course in Santa Monica where I would meet with Pamela Lane.
This producer, writer, golfer answered one of my Entertainment Career postings.
She introduced herself as One Smart Girl.
So I met with her because she seemed interesting.
I didn't know what to expect.
Is this woman going to think she has an answer for everything?
Is she going to be full of herself?
Actually, Pamela was very nice.
She showed up dressed in black and white pants holding her dog.
She said it was too hot to leave her dog at home so he was her caddy for the day.
We talked for an hour over lunch.
Rancho Park is awesome.
Love it there.
Uriel walked by and looked at me.
I gave him a smile and a whats up.
He was wondering what was going on.
Pamela gave me some great insight and talked with me pretty indepth about where this project could lead to. She stressed the internet strategy and how to develop this project with minimal budget.
We then parted at about 1pm and I jumped back on the freeway and raced across town.
Problem was, I wasn't racing since the 10 and 110 was slammed packed.
Bumper to Bumper moving at 20 mph.
I had to be at The Tribune Lot Studios by 2:30pm for the taping of MASTER OF DANCE with JOEY LAWRENCE. I was meeting producer Timothy Hamilton. Unfortunately there was no way this was going to happen since the traffic was
Think again, I was racing through traffic and decided to go the 101 since the 110 was packed.
Good Choice.
Thought the 101 was packed, it was moving a lot faster than the 110.
Actually, once I got around the bend in downtown and on to the actual 101, it freed up and I was able to lay on the gas and move.
Though I was in and out of traffic, I am very confident in my driving ability.
In and out of Hollywood bound traffic I swerved with the time in mind.
It was 2pm now and I had 30 minutes to pick Sloan up and cruise to 5800 Sunset.
Could I make it on Friday with slammed pack traffic?
It was a like a serious chase scene.
Back and Forth through traffic.
There was no way we were going to make it.
I excited at Hollywood and took a right.
Down Hollywood for a couple blocks, cops were crawling the streets like giant cock roaches ready to pounce on a good piece of meat.
A left on Western and up the hill and around the bend.
Down Los Feliz through the residential area.
I was really high tailing it at about 50 mph in a 35.
Glad there weren't any cops around.
Damn, I cant stand being late.
Round a group of cars who couldn't make their mind up.
Down the hill and a there was the giant fountain.
That signaled a right had turn onto Riverside.
I called Sloan a bout 20 minutes ago and then about 5 minutes ago to check on where she was.
She was waiting outside and ready to jump in the car.
So I pulled up.
She jumped in, and we took off.
We rolled down Los Feliz and around onto Western.
I had been there only minutes before and from what I could tell, we were making great time. WE actually had ten minutes to go and we were only four blocks away.
But then, a giant bus was pulled over picking up pedestrians.
How was I going to get around him?
I could tell it was going to take a bit of maneuvering.
So I squeezed between the van and the bus and took a right on Sun Set.
Safe.
Across the 101 and over to Bronson.
We took a left and pulled in the Gate where the security guard told us we would have to park across the street.
Fortunately we had plenty of time.
I couldn't believe it.
So after parking and making our way to the set, we found out we had more time than we expected.
Shit, I rushed and didn't need to.
I cant stand being late, but I really cant stand putting my life or that of Sloan's in danger via fast driving.
I told Timothy I would be there and I could help but be concerned if I didn't show up and they had closed the doors on us. That would have been horrible.
But we were there early and walked in ahead of the line of extras.
We were seated ahead of the rest and actually escorted to seats that said RESERVED FOR: Luke Kohl and Sloan Showalter. Four bottle of water accompanied the reserved chairs. It was quite awesome of Timothy and his crew.
And then, after waiting for a bit and watching the couple hundred extras file through the door, the crew manned their positions and Gilbert, the rowdy MC, started cracking jokes, handing out candy bars and tshirts, having singing contests, and beauty shows.
Gilbert was hilarious and we definitely liked him. Sloan laughed a lot and so did I. We were having a great time. This was the first live taping of a show that I had ever been to. It was quite exciting to see a stage so colorful and vibrant.
Then Timothy came out for just a second and talked with us. We thanked him for being so gracious and setting this up. It was really cool. He said no problem and couldn't believe I had no hair. I told him I shaved it the day before in order to fit into his and Joey Lawrence's club of bald heads.
Never, ever did I think I would be bald.
Never did I think Joey Lawrence would be bald, but he actually looks great with a chrome dome.
Eventually he came out and started his takes.
Sloan and I both agreed that Joey seemed like a very nice guy.
At one point during the show, Tim and Joey both came over the the edge of the stage and started talking to me about how all three of us had no hair.
It was pretty funny.
MASTER OF DANCE will premier on JUNE 8 on TLC at 8pm.
Stay tuned.
It looked very fun.
Timothy Hamilton was great.
His team was also awesome.
We have a meeting set for this upcoming Tuesday.
Its great that he invited us.
I am looking forward to this.
I think Tim and I could work very well together.
He is extremely accomplished and moving his way up the ladder of production awards quickly. He is dedicated and extremely professional.
I hope this works out.
Still waiting to hear back from Lance Robbins.
