Why I Spent $12,500 to Lower My Cholesterol (and to save you $12,401)

Look in the mirror....

Can you tell what your cholesterol level is?

I couldn't either by just looking at myself. So I had blood work done. To my surprise, it revealed that mine is high.

I couldn't believe it. Not only am I in good shape, had just lost 80 pounds, work-out every day, and eat right, but I feel fine.

That's the trouble with cholesterol: You can't feel if it's high or low. It's a tricky devil.

I grew concerned about mine. I researched online but got confused with all the promises of lower cholesterol with questionable pills, some natural, some prescribed.

And the prescribed ones, called statins, can have side-effects to send chills up your spine.

And all the conflicting information about cholesterol lowering food, or the causes of high triglycerides, or how to get an ideal cholesterol reading, were just driving me batty.

What was I to do?

I called a friend of mine who is a medical doctor, anti-aging specialist, and emergency room physician. He told me there is a natural product that lowers bad cholesterol in 30 days by 30%.

You don't have to change your diet or anything else for it to work, either.

All you have to do is take two capsules at dinner.

That's it.

He's so confident it will work for anyone that he says to take your blood work now, and then take it after 30 days of using his formula. He says your bad cholesterol will be lower. He even guarantees it.

I wanted a bottle.

NOW.

But he didn't have any.

It's his formula, but he's sold out. Since he's a start up company, he was waiting for funds from previous sales to come in before he created the next batch.

I didn't want to wait.

I offered to pay for his new batch.

"But it's $12,500," he said. "This is manufactured by a pharmaceutical grade company. It isn't cheap."

"I'll pay it," I said.

I became an investor on the spot.

But all I really wanted was the bottle.

In short, I'm paying $12,500 for a bottle of capsules that will help lower my bad cholesterol - naturally and safely -- and within 30 days.

The good news for you -- or for anyone you know with high cholesterol -- is you can now get a bottle for only $39. Or you can get a 3-month supply for only $99.

Because I made an investment of $12,500, there is now a limited supply of bottles for you to get for yourself or family or friends.

If I were you, I'd do it.

Look in the mirror again...

Don't you deserve to be healthy?

See http://www.CardioSecret.com

If you ever wanted a doctor recommended way to lower cholesterol naturally, this new formula is it.

To me, this is the best way to treat high cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol naturally. The best cholesterol recipe is to take two capsules every night at dinner. That's it. Talk about easy.

It's the best natural method to lower bad cholesterol. Get this and lower your cholesterol naturally.

It worked for me. In only two weeks my bad cholesterol went down and my good cholesterol went up.

I just put up a new site and need to know if it's lacking anything.

This is a different kind of product for me to promote, so I am looking for your help in being sure it covers all the bases before I tell the world about it.

It's a physician-designed formula I invested in to lower bad cholesterol in 30 days.

It's guaranteed to work.

There's an e-book (complimentary) on the site that explains the whole story.

Would you take a look and let me know if you find anything missing?

"Woman's Day" features "Life's Missing Instruction Manual"

The Man Who Shot Me

Forty years ago the bearded man on the right of me in the picture shot me in the back as I walked home from school.

He used a BB gun, but it still hurt.

I haven't seen him in thirty years.

Whenever I think of him, I gringe.

When we flew up to Ohio for my nephew's wedding, I had no idea I would run into this man at the wedding reception.

When he walked up to me and smiled, I felt terror go up my spine.

Suddenly I was a teenager again, and afraid of the man who bullied me when I was so young.

The man is old now. He seemed gentle. I decided to talk to him. After having a few drinks - note the cup in my hand - I decided to confront my nemesis.

We talked for quite a while. He's been through hard times. He lost his brother, who had been my best friend in high school. And he lost his mother. Today he's on disability due to a back accident.

After a lot of sharing, I finally decided to erase the past and confront my fears.

I asked this man, "Why did you shoot me with a BB gun when I was a kid?"

He rubbed his face, looked down, and softly said, "I shot a lot of kids back then."

He added, "They were all armed, though. I never shot anyone who didn't have a BB gun, too. I don't remember shooting you unless you had a gun, too."

I remembered not being armed as a kid.

And then he said, "The kid who was really bad at hurting others was Jimmy Dant."

Suddenly the dark memory came rushing back to me.

The man I was talking to wasn't the bad guy at all. It was Jimmy Dant*, who I later learned died a few years ago.

My memory was all wrong.

I was mad at a guy -- mad for forty years -- who hadn't done a thing to me.

I wonder how many of us are spending time blaming someone when that someone never even did anything to us.

I'm shocked that my memory could be so off.

I'm pleased that the man who I thought shot me wasn't a bad guy at all.

In fact, he never was.

Joe www.mrfire.com

PS - Note how you always read the PS ?

* "Jimmy Dant" is not the real name of the man who shot me. I am releasing the past and letting everyone be innocent again.

Another stupid marketing mistake

Someone wrote me that my hypnotic style of marketing would not work in their field.

They said their audience is too sophisticated to be "suckered" by hype and hypnosis.

That's a fundamental mistake in marketing.

Any time you think your audience is different from other people, you've suckered yourself into believing a lie.

As I point out in my Hypnotic Selling Secrets package, the same people you admire and even fear go home at night and watch the Simpsons, or Desperate Housewives, or 24.

People are people. They respond to the same emotional triggers and self-interest buttons as anyone else.

Thinking they don't is stupid.

I've seen accountants, doctors, lawyers, and all others groups of people respond to Hypnotic Marketing and Hypnotic Writing.

The key is you must always speak in their language -- which is part of what I teach --and you must always speak to their self interests. When you do, they respond.

This is all explained in my system. See http://www.hypnoticsellingsecrets.com/g.o/10386

If you don't at least go review the site, then you're doing something else that is pretty stupid:
You're assuming you know it all.

I'm constantly investing in programs, books, courses and trainings to educate myself. I've been doing this for over 30 years. If I can still learn something new, can't you, as well?

Open your mind and prosper.

Breaking Marketing Records

I'm dead tired - Just off a plane from a family trip to Ohio and back in front of my computer now, pushing the marketing along for the Hypnotic Selling Secrets limited edition set.

The Secret of the Mustard Seed

I often carry a mustard seed coin with me.

It's a small coin, about the size of a quarter, with a real mustard seed sealed on one side, and the famous quote from Jesus engraved on the other side:

“If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; nothing will be impossible for you.”

I sometimes give these magical coins out as gifts, as well. I get them from http://store.yahoo.com/christiandollarstore/musseedpocco.html

The coin reminds me of faith, trust, and the power of an unwavering intention.

After all, a mustard seed has no doubt about what it will turn out to be. As long as it gets some rain and sun, it will grow.

Far too many people get hung up on the power of 'if' in manifesting goals. They let their minds trip them up.

As I've said in my books, from The Attractor Factor www.attractorfactor.com to Life's Missing Instruction Manual www.lifesmissingmanual.com, the favorite question of your mind is, "What if?"

What if this happens?

What if this goes wrong?

What if it doesn't work out?

Your mind will drive you batty, if you let it.

A mustard seed doesn't play the game of 'if' in manifesting goals. It "knows" about the power of instant manifestation because it doesn't interfere with its own evolution.

If you gave in to your intention, and trusted it with the same clarity as a mustard seed, what could you accomplish?

What could you manifest?

Since you are right now entertaining the possibility of manifesting something huge in your life, why not go ahead and just do it?

I suspect the only thing stopping you is...Your own mind.

How to Clone Money

Too many people study marketing and then make their first product about marketing and for marketers.

Big mistake.

A better idea is to learn marketing and then apply it in a different field of interest.

For example, membership sites are a profitable tool in marketing circles. Dan Kennedy has one. www.DanKennedy.com So do I at www.HypnoticGold.com

But not enough people do them in other areas.

Today I had lunch with Scott York. He heard my recent Unity Church talk about "The Real Secret to Attracting Wealth" http://www.unityofwimberley.com/archive.htm and asked to meet with me. I'm sure glad I made time for him.

Scott runs a membership site for aspiring bodybuilders.

Sign up and every month you get a DVD revealing the training methods of popular bodybuilder Lee Priest. This is fascinating. You get to see what Lee Priest eats, drinks, and does for working out. This is natural bodybuilding advice. It's about hardcore bodybuilding. It reveals bodybuilding secrets. It's explained at www.BodyBuildersReality.com

This may not interest you (unless you're into fitness) but the aspiring bodybuilders, men, women and even teenagers, are devouring this information.

Scott no longer "works" for a living.

He just creates this monthly DVD with Lee Priest.

Do you see how this works?

Scott has taken a concept used in the marketing world and duplicated it in the bodybuilding world.

You can do this, too.

There can be membership sites for magicians, clowns, strippers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, bartenders, restaurant owners, dry cleaning stores, chiropractors, golfers, MLM, etc. You name it. A membership site can be created for it.

The lesson here is to take something that is repeatedly done in marketing and clone it in a completely different field.

The marketing world sees strong marketing every day. Other fields will sit up and take notice when you take those same concepts into new territory.

You can do this.

But will you?

A Common Marketing Mistake

I love gadgets. You can imagine how excited I got when the ThinkGeek Overlords sent me an email this morning featuring the first ever Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard.

It's a tiny device that laser projects a keyboard onto any flat surface. You then type on that projected image and your words are picked up by Bluetooth and sent to your SmartPhone or PDA. Think of it as an interactive hologram.

Is it a hoax?

Maybe.

But I wanted one.

Now.

So I shot over to http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8193/

And that's where my throbbing heart sank.

That's where I saw yet another company make a common marketing mistake.

They promoted the gadget (real or not) before it was ready to ship.

There are no devices in stock.

Not only that, but ThinkGeek doesn't even allow me to pre-order the darn thing. (Note: They do, now. They changed their site after I posted this blog this morning.)

Talk about disappointment.

It gets worse.

As I reviewed the specs for the Bluetooth Virtual Desktop Laser Keyboard gadget, I saw that my Blackberry 8700C phone isn't listed as one of the devices it works with. So even if the keyboard projector is real, and was in stock, and I got one, it would be virtually useless to me.

Listen and learn: Don't market anything before its time (unless it's clear that the product isn't ready for order and you're just building a buzz for it).

And if this whole thing is a hoax, then it's not very funny.

Disappointed customers bitch and moan and end up complaining to others -- even on their blogs.

The Real Secret to Attracting Wealth

Last Sunday (Palm Sunday) I spoke at the local Unity church about the real secret to attracting wealth.

I'm not one of those prosperity preachers who offers simple spells for manifestation or a prosperity prayer to the poor, but I do know a thing or two about the universal law of attraction.

After all, I did write the book, The Attractor Factor. www.attractorfactor.com

And I am in the movie, The Secret. www.whatisthesecret.tv

So I took a risk and told the standing-room only crowd two reasons why they may be experiencing lack.

One of the reasons was pretty "in your face" but needed to be discussed by someone.

That someone was me.

Apparently I hit a nerve that was ready to heal. My talk moved people to tears, smiles, and even applause - in a cool country church on a sunny Texas day.

You can hear the whole thing -- including a short prosperity meditation and a healing session (led by me) -- by going to - www.unityofwimberley.com/archive.htm

Nyepi Day, or, Ever Been Silent for an Entire Day?

A reader in Bali just told me that they have a "Nyepi Day" in March.

Yea, I never heard of it, either.

Turns out it is a type of new year's celebration but instead of getting rowdy, they get silent.

For 24 hours no one is allowed on the street. There are no activities. No lights, either. Nuttin.

Apparently it is a big hit in that culture http://www.indo.com/culture/nyepi.html

I can't help but think we all need a Nyepti Day. We turn off the phone, the computer, the fax, the radio, the TV, the ipod, the games, and we shut up.

We just get quiet and tune in.

So many of us lead noisy lives inside and outside of ourselves that we've forgotten the bliss of peace and quiet.

The Space You Forget to Look At

Several people said they couldn't see my profile in the photo of the "optical illusion sculpture" I posted here yesterday. This edited picture is to help those people out.

Hopefully they can now see the optical illusion in my Pirolette (the name of the clever wooden sculpture created by the wonderful people at www.turnyourhead.com)

The Pirolette is, as the Turn Your Head website explains in all caps --

"...A SOLID ARTIFACT OF A SPACE WE FORGET TO LOOK AT. "

I love my little Pirolette. Not only does it look good sitting anywhere I put it, but every time I see my profile in that "space we forget to look at," I smile.

I also like what it teaches about perception: Look at it one way and you see a wooden sculpture; look at it another way and you see my profile.

I think it's just like life: You can see the glass as half full or as half empty. The glass doesn't care.

It's all your choice.

PPS - This morning I received a warm email from Germany, from Cortney Langenegger, Sales Manager/Webmaster for www.turnyourhead.com She wanted to thank me for yesterday's blog post -- apparently it's bringing their site lots of traffic -- and she wanted to apologize for not sending me an email confirmation when I placed my order. I love that she wrote me and plan on buying more from their site. (I want to get a Pirolette for Nerissa. Don't tell her!) You can't beat a business that offers a unique product and personal service, as well. Note: Mother's Day is coming up. Get a Pirolette for her of either your profile or hers - or both. (I don't make a dime from urging you to get the product. I just - as should be clear by now - love it.)

Is this a beautiful hand-carved sculpture or Joe Vitale's head in wood?

Take a good look at the picture...

Is that a beautiful hand-carved wooden sculpture, or is it my profile?

I love creativity. You never know what someone is going to invent that the rest of us will rush to buy.

A while back I heard about a company that takes a photo of your head's profile and turns it into a wooden sculpture.

I thought it was a wild idea but I've always loved optical illusions (and wild ideas). Plus my parents had my baby shoes set in bronze back in 1954. I thought having my face set in wood in 2006 might be cool.

So I had Nerissa take a picture of my head from the side, and I sent it over to www.turnyourhead.com/

I had to let go and trust at that point, because I never heard from the company about my order until today -- when it arrived. That's a photo of it above.

It's the classic optical illusion: At first glance it looks like a vase. But relax your eyes and look a little longer and you begin to see the profile. (Hint: Look at the outline of the sculpture. The deepest part of the center of it is my nose. Yes, my nose.)

Once your brain sees both images, you'll easily see either one from that point forward.

Maybe marketing is like that.

Once you take on the eyes of a marketer, a new part of your brain awakens and you begin to see marketing opportunities everywhere.

The people at http://www.turnyourhead.com/ once saw wood. They now see ghostly profiles in wood. And most likely they are seeing lots of orders, as well.

Don't you love it?

A fan letter from a Fortune 500 psychic

I love fan email. Here's one I received the other day (and using here with her permission):

Joe, I've written you before thanking you for all that you do.

You and your work have been a great inspiration to me, my husband, and my business partner. I wanted to pass alone some more praise because you really deserve it.

I am so entertained and jealous of all that you do. Having been in the marketing industry for 25 years myself I am always delighted by your new ideas and how you are just like a creative fountain that keeps flowing.

My husband is an internet junkie - and he receives all kinds of similar offers mimicking programs like yours. I too, am on about 25 email lists, newsletter and offer programs. We constantly compare and veto a lot of free offerings because they don't even come close to what you offer.

No one - I mean NO ONE can compare to the quality of your offerings and guarantees.

Yesterday, my husband I had signed up to listen to an interview about selling on the web and how to have a web based business. Joe, it was so bad that after 30 minutes we hung up. The only reason we stayed on for 30 minutes is we kept waiting to hear what the "secrets" were or the new ways to do business on the web.

In 30 minutes they did not give one piece of program information - they kept up with that chatter "we have a new car, we've made millions, we did 2 million in one day, we're so great blah, blah, blah."

After 5 minutes it gets old. Now don't get me wrong, I am very interested in being much more prosperous than I am now. And with a lot of your products I am improving my abundance day by day.

My biggest challenge is staying focused and not getting distracted. I realized that listening to your programs, reading your emails, and sales promoting has ruined me from listening or even believing anyone else.

I think your hypnotic programs have truly tranced me!

So, I wanted to share my perspective as a customer - I'm sure you know this and it's probably validated by the dollars flowing into your bank accounts but here's one customers perspective that I share with anyone who willl isten to me about your programs.

1. You are totally entertaining and captivate your audience immediately with fresh new stories

2. You're not pushy - you truly know the value of saying "next"

3. You do what you say you're going to do

4. You deliver on your promises and I suspect you make it right if a customer is too thick to see the value of your products

5. You give more than one expects (I have tons of download bonuses that I have benefited from over and over)

6. You love what you do and...

7. You're out there giving more than you receive.

Oh and lastly, any man that loses 80 lbs and transforms like you have deserves a standing ovation.

So, thanks again Joe - you deserve every dollar that flows in...we think you're the best!

How to hit Alexa's Top 10 list

I almost never look at my Alexa rankings -- I'm too busy creating and promoting my sites to worry about how they are ranked -- but a subscriber to my ezine at www.mrfire.com just told me I am in the Top 10 of all the "movers and shakers" sites in the world right now. He sent me this link -

http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/movers_shakers?lang=en

The #1 top site is the movie The Secret www.whatisthesecret.tv which of course I'm in and highly endorse.

The #10 site is for my Hypnotic Library www.hypnoticlibrary.com/secret.o/10386 which has my now famous before and after pictures at the top of it.

Why are these sites in the top 10 of the movers and shakers at Alexa?

The Secret has been promoted with a hypnotic teaser for months. The buzz for it is off the charts. And every teacher in it - from me to Esther Hicks and Bob Proctor and a long list of other authors and teachers - are promoting the site. The marketing is working and the viral marketing aspect is alive and well.

Hypnotic Library has been heavily promoted to my list as well as a few others, but that can't by itself explain why it hit the Top 10 Alexa movers list. I can't help but wonder if my before-after weight-loss pictures are the draw. From a viral marketing standpoint, everyone wants to see those pictures. And all who do, tell others. Pictures can be very hypnotic and are an overlooked tool by copywriters.

In both cases, non-paid marketers are making the sites popular.

In other words, fans of The Secret are spreading the word about it.

Fans of my before-after pictures are spreading the word about Hypnotic Library.

Whenever you can get people talking about your site, you'll see action.

And it might one day lead to the Alexa Top 10 movers and shakers list.

PS -- Nerissa www.thevideoqueen.com opened up a cool Cafe Press store for me. Go take a look at www.cafepress.com/drjoevitale/ You'll probably be seeing superstars wearing clothes from that store - maybe even Lindsay Lohan.

A new way to make sales online

As a copywriter and an author, I sometimes limit my thinking to the written word. But that's not the only way to make online sales. See for yourself at--

www.infomercialtoolkit.com/mrfire

I found it eye-opening. And since I've written, promoted, and even been in televised infomercials, I found it exciting to see how to apply them to the Internet.

We sure live in exciting times, don't we?

I wonder what's next...

PS - Yesterday a friend gave me a copy of the new book The Divided Mind by John Sarno. I am finding it riveting. It's about the epidemic of mind-body disorders and how the source of virtually all pain is in the unconscious. I've only begun the book but it looks downright hypnotic. Sarno also wrote Healing Back Pain. Anyone with chronic pain or unexplained health issues needs to read Sarno. More on him and his books later.
