Is people passion, haveyougotthenerveTV and are Mark Bowness/Mark James real or fake?
I’m a great advocate of making things happen starting with a blank piece of paper. Nothing pleases me more than to take a concept that is in my or someone else’s head, brain storming it, working out a plan, then executing the plan and making it happen. Wow it gives me a buzz every time I think about it. So when Kezza pinged me ‘haveyougotthenervetv’ I answered loudly yes…
Its all about attitudes to risk and how much your prepared to take. No-one has made it, in this big bad world of ours by playing safe. So I also advocate you need to take a risk to forfill your potential and I have been taking my fair share of risks along the way.
Have all concepts been successful? No. Have all failed? No. What failure and success gives you is experience to move on and try again. Most successful entrepreneurs will say they have had a failed business along the way, so its a balance of applying yourself, failure, applying yourself yet again and success. Bizarre concept but true enough!
The Jem Report on ‘tribes unwanted’ depicts a story off an habitual trier who has not forfilled their dreams, however this can be taken in more than one way. You may ask yourself is he trying to rip you off? Hmmm only Mark Bowness knows but probably not. So will it make you millions probably not either, but what a ride eh, if it only achieves a quarter of what is visioned.
I have read quite a bit on Mark’s journey so far and have drawn my own conclusion, you will need to do the same. I see the risk that someone takes with this latest venture as acceptable. It may not be for everyone and it may shout ’scam keep away’, however consider that its not the money thats important, its the opportunity that counts. The only way you know that it was a good idea was to take the chance in the first place.
Read all you can, investigate and delve further, this should give you a good premise on how to proceed. I will continue to monitor progress and will report back accordingly. Real or fake? Dunno, the choice is yours!

Hey, I just came across this link whilst checking who has been visiting my site so I thought that I would write a little response.
Firstly, thanks for taking the time out to comment on ‘Have You Got The Nerve?’ TV and People Passion Planet.
With regards to the comments that you mention on the Jem Report, I would like to state that I have made a full response to these comments here: http://peoplepassionplanet.com/?p=155
Furthermore, Jem has also made his own addition to his report which states:
Ed. note: Since the original publication of this and the first Tribewanted article — or more appropriately, in part because of them — Mark Bowness seems to have matured greatly, acquired a more realistic business sense, and put his personal issues behind him. I have reason to believe that there are a handful of people on the Web who want to smear Mark because he does not live the life that they want him to — these are the people writing the anonymous blog comments and sending anonymous email messages to people like me. Though Mr. Bowness’ business dealings prior to Tribewanted may look suspicious, I’ve determined (as this article and research beyond its scope show) that what appears to be unethical behavior was merely a series of unfortunate coincidences, and the secrecy surrounding them had entirely to do with problems in Bowness’ personal life, and nothing to do with his business practices.
I have learnt both that the internet is a powerful tool and also a tool that can bite you on the ass when you try and do something creative, something different.
If anyone has any concerns.. always happy to meet up for a drink…
Many thanks,
Mark
