A friend needs our help

Jillian Coleman Wheeler just sent me the below. I hope nothing like this ever happens to you. Meanwhile, her daughter needs our help. Thank you. - Joe

Something has happened in our family recently - it's the biggest thing on our minds now, and I wanted to share it with you.

My daughter is a single mom with four children.They came home a few days ago to find their home engulfed in flames.

Although their two little dogs were killed in the fire, and they are heartbroken about that, they themselves are all safe.

There are no words to express how grateful we are they're all right. And they really are.

They've lost everything, and every few days the children remember another favorite toy that's gone, or - today - part of a Halloween costume they must replace.

But they are surrounded by friends and family, and they are okay.

Allison's friends have set up a webpage with more information:

Please send them your prayers.

How to Make Your Signature Memorable

On Saturday I received a beautiful signed photo from the gorgeous Jessica Biel, star of the TV show Seventh Heaven and the movie The Illusionist.

She wrote -

"Thanks, Joe! The Attractor Factor helped change my life!"

As the author of the book that changed her life, you know that touched me deeply.

My favorite signed photograph before Jessica's was from actor James Caan, the star of The Godfather and the TV show Las Vegas. I was in his Las Vegas TV show lot trailer when he wrote --

"To Joe, you're a big pain in the ass."

James Caan is as likeable in person as he seems to be on the screen, so I didn't mind at all that he jokingly (?) called me a big pain in the rear. He laughed, and so did I.

In both cases, the stars made their signatures stand out by personalizing them in an authentic way. It revealed their personality. And it was memorable.

If we all did that, we'd all be remembered.

I have autographs from everyone from boxer Mulhammid Ali to daredevil Evel Knievel to bodybuilder Frank Zane to magician Lance Burton to a very sexy Playboy bunnie.

But the ones I remember most are the ones who personalized their signatures.

I also have rare books signed by their authors, including ones by Neville and even P.T. Barnum.

My favorites are the ones where the authors added something personal right before their signature. Even though I never met the authors and don't know the people they were writing to, their special effort makes the books more valueable to me.

I think we can learn from this.

For example, when you hand out your business card, always write something personal on the back or front of it.

Just don't write, "You're a big pain the ass."

Ao Akua,

PS - Michelle Malone - the singer who played in my home a week ago - hasn't sent me an autographed picture of herself yet. But I also haven't asked for it. A secret of life is to ask for what you want. When I was talking to James Caan, I asked for a signed picture. When I heard Jessica Biel liked my book, I asked for a signed picture. Asking is good.

Did Larry King Really Slap Me on Live TV?

Yes, I was on the Larry King show.

Yes, I held up my book, The Attractor Factor, on camera.

Yes, I told Larry right on camera about my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM exotic sports car named Francine.

Unreleased Michelle Malone Song -- Caught on Video in My Home

Nerissa just posted a short video from last Friday's private house concert here where Michelle Malone sang a brand new, unreleased and unrecorded song for my assistant, Suzanne, as a birthday present.

The song is beautiful.

The setting is intimate.

Most of Michelle's songs are more hard-driving. This one is laid-back, poetic and heart-felt.

Take a look and get a sense of why Michelle is my favorite singer and songwriter.

You can find it on my video blog at http://drjoevitale.blogspot.com/

Last night we watched the movie Click.

It is wonderful.

Besides being fun, it contains a life changing message about moving through life too fast, and doing it on auto pilot.

I strongly suggest you rent or buy the movie. I don't know Adam Sandler and don't make a dime from this endorsement, but I do support messages that can transform us all.

Nerissa's Teeth

I've spent the last few days hanging with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the therapist who used ho'oponopono to help heal an entire ward of mentally ill patients in Hawaii.

We're working on the world's first book on the subject, called Zero Limits. It'll be out next summer.

Being with Dr. Len is a delight. His entire life is focused on cleaning whatever is in the way of being at zero, or one with the Divine.

As he'll openly admit, he's not at zero yet.

But hanging around him sure uplifts me and everyone else. Look at the picture of Nerissa. She's beaming. She just got done talking to Dr. Len and couldn't help but smile. Even she noticed that her teeth are showing in her smile. Usually her smiles before a camera are more controlled. Not this time.

When Dr. Len and I went to restaurants, people seemed to brighten. The energy in the room got louder. Our service got better.

I think striving for zero limits brings on the good.

Imagine what being at zero limits would be like.

And all you have to do to head in that direction is say I Love You.

What's Larry King REALLY Like?

Everyone wants to know what Larry King is really like.

He's direct, human, friendly, and sharp -- pretty much the exact way you see him on his live TV show.

He doesn't care for doing taped shows. He said he's a "live" man. He said he's been in the business for over 50 years and he's only done taped shows maybe 2% of the time.

When he's on camera, he's ON. He's alert, focused, and acutely sensitive to everyone, from what they say to how they move.

I still remember how his eyes seemed to bore into my mind as he asked me a question and focused on my answer.

Off camera he's more relaxed but still alert and friendly. He asked if I was any relation to Dick Vitale, the famous basketball coach. I'm not and told Larry so. He went on to say some nice things about Dick Vitale.

All in all, I liked Larry King and would love to spend a little time with him some day. He's a good guy.

The show I'm on with him will air in November. There are two parts and I'm on the second one. You'll want to watch both as they will reveal the secrets for changing your life - by changing your mind.

Please get out your calendar and mark down the following --

The Moanin' Goat

I'm getting ready to lead "The Secret of Money" event all day out here in Wimberley, Texas, but first wanted to report that last night's private house concert with Michelle Malone was fantastic.

She's a brilliant songwriter, riveting singer, and a charming southern gal that we all loved to be with.

She even let me sit in and play my harmonica on one song. Way cool.

Since I'm in a hurry, I'll let the pictures do the talking this time around.

Ao Akua,

PS - I didn't have my reading glasses on when I was looking at one of Michelle's CD's. So I thought a song called Moanin Coat was called Moanin Goat. Michelle and my guests thought that was pretty funny.

How to Know When You've Made It

How do you know when you've made it?

How do you know when you've achieved success?

I'm not sure any of us have a true benchmark inside ourselves, as we all keep wanting more.

I want more, too, but I'm doing something tonight that is making me realize I have truly arrived in the world.

What I'm doing is more important to me than all of my books.

Or being on Larry King.

Or being in the movie The Secret.

Or buying Francine, my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM luxury sports car.

Well, maybe what I'm doing tonight isn't really better than Francine, but you get the idea.

So what am I doing tonight?

I've hired one of my favorite musicians to play a private concert in my home.

I'm a big fan of Michelle Malone, an Atlanta rock-folk singer with passion. I've never seen her perform or ever spoken to her. But I buy all her CD's and more. I'm a fan.

When I learned she was playing concerts in Texas, I wrote her office and asked about a private show in my home. Michelle emailed back, gave me a price, and I agreed to it.

And now she's playing here tonight for me and a handful of select friends.

To put this in perspective, I recall being at a friend's house about thirty years ago. I was broke. He needed to buy a tape player to hear a talk his wife gave the night before. He went out and bought it. The recorder cost maybe fifty bucks. To me, what he did was what I wanted to be able to do: write a check for fifty bucks for something I wanted. That would have been "making it" for me at that time in my life.

Today, being able to hire my favorite musician to play in my living room is a sign I've made it in the world.

I still want more, though.

As a friend in Maui says, "I'm totally satsified, I just want more!"

The Real Francine

Melanie Panoz, the wife of Dan Panoz (creator of the Panoz car company), just told me the story of how my Panoz Esperante GTLM sports car got it's name:

"Both Dan & I were part of a charity organization called “Dare to Share” to help raise funds for kids locally and nationally for several years. We have raffled off an Esperante each year and “Francine” was won by a gentleman in San Antonio. The real Francine is the Chairperson of Dare to Share here in Braselton, GA, so she named the car. She is a phenomenal lady with such passion and drive to help those less fortunate and she works relentlessly to make sure she raises as much money as she can. "

I knew Francine was special.

Ao Akua,

Joe
www.mrfire.com

PS -- The gentleman who won Francine couldn't pay the taxes for her, so I paid his taxes, gave him a huge profit, and got Francine for a pretty nice song. I love win-win-wins like that. He's happy, the IRS is happy, I'm happy - and, ohhhhhh yessssss, Francine is happy, too.

The Flying Panoz Car or, What's Impossible, Anyway?

Someone took a Panoz Esperante sports car and turned it into a flying car.

I didn't believe it, either, but here's the picture and the whole story is over at www.popularmechanics.com/science/air_space/1751557.html?page=1

Francine says she prefers ground travel, thank you.

The Power of Non-Visualization

While the panelists gathered at the CNN offices in LA to prep for our Larry King interview last week, one excited guest said, "I've been visualizing this moment for over six years!"

"Really?" I asked. "I only began visualizing this two weeks ago."

He studied me for a moment, no doubt recalulating his opinion of me. Once he realized I was kidding, he smiled.

But here's the truth --

I never visualized being on Larry King.

Not once.

I'm elated to be on his show, but visualizing it had nothing to do with it.

Not that visualizing doesn't work. It does. It's been proven so many times it's ridiculous to even question it.

But I've found something more powerful:

Love.

All I'm doing these days is silently saying "I love you" all the time.

I mean all the time.

I learned the power of this "technique" from Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the therapist who helped cure an entire ward of mentally ill criminals with ho'oponopono. (See my article on him at http://snipurl.com/DrLen or www.mrfire.com/article-archives/new-articles/worlds-most-unusual-therapist.html )

At the heart of his method is simply saying the phrase "I love you."

I say it all the time, as much as I can remember.

I say it on turbulent flights, before and during talks or interviews, when I'm writing blog posts like this or marketing documents like sales letters, or whenever I sense or feel something or someone I'd prefer would change, and so on.

I've learned that as I stay in the moment, feeling and expressing love, the flower of life unfolds.

And I end up on Larry King.

Or with a Panoz Esperante GTLM exotic sports car named Francine.

"I love you."

Ao Akua,

Joe

How to Handle Great Wealth

After the Larry King show taping last week, Jack Canfield told me over wine how he struggled many years ago with the increase in his wealth.

He had been a teacher making $8,000 a year. Using the principles described in the movie The Secret, he jumped to just under $100,000 a year, and then on to a million dollars a year.

But his wealth increase didn't stop there.

He was soon receiving royalty checks from his publisher for over one million dollars each.

This was beginning to amount to six million dollars a year.

Jack confessed that making six mill a year pushed his buttons. He could spend $20,000 a day and not hurt.

He began to deal with issues of deservingness. He asked himself who the heck was he to make this kind of money.

To get comfortable with wealth, Jack decided to split up what he was making.

He invested part, spent part, saved part, and gave away part. In this way, he allowed himself to receive great wealth. Today he's fine with wealth, and the abundance just keeps rolling in.

I think we all have to get clear of internal blocks to receiving wealth before we actually start seeing it. And even then, we may have to get clear of other blocks in order to maintain and increase the wealth.

For me, Miracles Coaching is the best way to get clear.

I'm sure there are other ways, but having an objective soul help you stretch your mind and get clear of limiting beliefs is faster than anything else I know of.

If you can do it by reading a book or by watching a movie, more power to you.

But sometimes you just need a good coach.

If you read back over my last few blog posts, you'll see where I struggled a little bit with wanting an exotic car. I had some counter-intentions within me, preventing me from getting the car.

But I did a session with a coach and within a day I not only found the car I wanted, but bought it -- and for an incredible deal.

When you get clear, you get results.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS - That's me and Francine in the picture. She likes having her picture taken. She's like a Angelina Jolie or Linda Evangelista of the exotic car world. Smart. Sexy. Fast. She's a 1995 Panoz Esperante GTLM. A friend says I'm now a Panozaholic. I love the Panoz company and especially Francine. One day I'm going to enter a racing school to learn how to actually dance with her at top speed.

PPS - Speaking of speed...A gorgeous CNN researcher who sat beside me at dinner in Beverly Hills, looked at my picture of Francine and asked, "You know what this car screams?" I said no. She said, "TICKET!" :)

Larry King and The Wrong Question

The studio audience asked questions of me and the other panelists when we taped the Larry King show the other day at the CNN offices in LA.

I noticed a fundamental flaw in many of the questions.

People asked how they could get their dream home while on a fixed salary, or how to deal with the negative people in their life while they went for their dreams, etc.

While Jack Canfield, James Ray, George Pratt, a woman guest who I can't recall the name of (I'm sorry), and myself answered these questions, they were all based in error.

Each question was assuming the person's current reality was a fixed state.

The point of the movie The Secret and my book The Attractor Factor is that you can redirect your life and transform your current reality by first focusing on what you want, without much regard to your current situation.

Jack Canfield pointed out that he went from a teacher's salary of $8,000 a year to $6,000,000 a year as a bestselling author by ignoring the teacher's salary and focusing on his intention. His intention brought new ideas to him, while still a teacher, which led him on the path to being a multi-millionaire today.

Larry King asked an excellent question.

He wondered if having a coach was important.

I leaped in and explained that you need someone to reflect back to you your own beliefs. Since they are your beliefs, it's tough to see them. An objective coach can help you realize where your patterns are.

Jack Canfield did this for me after the TV show, at dinner.

I told him about my Beyond Manifestation seminar and how I limited it to 25 people. He urged me to think even bigger, and suggested I lead the spiritual retreats for hundreds of people. I didn't realize I had a limiting belief about it until someone outside of me, being a good coach, helped me see it.

I can't wait for the Larry King show to air. I'm told it may be in two weeks or so. As soon as I know, I'll tell you.

Meanwhile, appeciate your current reality for being your current reality but don't be limited by it.

State what you want your reality to be.

Then act on the impulses you get to help manifest it.

Expect miracles.

PS - I told Larry King -- right on his show -- about Francine. I'm sure he never heard of a Panoz before, but the world will soon know I own a 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM. I didn't plan on mentioning the exotic car on the Larry King show, for the world to hear, but that's the kind of hold Francine has on me. She's always demanding attention. She's always ordering me around. What a woman. She's beautiful and she knows it. Now Larry King knows it, too. Have I shown you a picture of her yet?

PPS - Reminder: If you want to know The Secret of Money, plan on attending this one day event with me and Mindy Audlin next Saturday here in Wimberley, Texas. See www.unityathome.org/events.htm Note: Francine will be there. She'd love to meet you.

Larry King says hi

What a day.

A limo takes me to CNN in LA and before you can say boo I'm talking to Larry King himself.

The show was easy and fast. Jack Canfield and James Ray and myself spaared with Larry. I think we did great.

The best part was dinner afterwards with the producer and staff and guests. I just left them. Jack Canfield is a brilliant storyteller. James Ray is fun and a new buddy of mine.

Wendy, the show producer, is amazing. She's heart driven, loving, a visionary who wants to transform television.

I kept showing pictures of Francine to everyone. Jack Canfield laughed every time.

Right now I'm alone at poolside at my hotel in Hollywood, drinking scotch and smoking a cigar. I'm totally alone.

But I'm in bliss.

What's the Secret to Legendary Customer Service?

What's the secret to customer service?

Simply stated, do what you say you will do when you say you will do it.

But what's the secret to legendary customer service?

I think it's this: do more than what you say you will do and do it sooner than you said you would do it.

Here are two examples of what I mean:

Story #1:

As you probably know, I ordered a Rolex. I was told it would arrive in three months. No problem. I had been warned it may take a long time, as the watches are handmade in Switzerland and there's a wild demand for them.

While I waited, the charming saleswoman sent me a packet of information about the Rolex.

And -- the watch arrived on Monday.

Three months early.

I wore it when I went to visit my Miracles Coaches that day.

Awe might describe their response.

The fact that I received the watch three months early made me happy, too.

Story #2:

The dealership handling Francine, my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM, called me Monday morning to say my car may not be ready for pickup on Tuesday.

That was bummer news. I'm headed out to be on the Larry King show, and wouldn't be able to pick up the car until next week if I didn't get it on Tuesday.

But I accepted the news and braced myself for the worst.

At 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, the dealership called and said my car was ready.

When I got there, they spent well over an hour talking to me about the car, giving me gifts, and congratulating me on ownership of this rare exotic car.

I drove Francine home the very same day.

In both of the above examples I was surprised with extra service and quicker turnaround than expected.

If you want your customers and clients to talk about you (in a good way), do more than what they expect, and do it sooner than they expect it.

More on this topic later.

Right now I've got a plane to catch.

Larry King is waiting for me.

PS - Francine is LOUD. She's a barely street legal race car and she knows it. She wants me to know it, too. She roars in my ears as I drive. She gets attention. She wants attention. She DEMANDS attention. She has an attitude, too. She says my little BMW Z3 is a go-cart from Toys-R-Us compared to her race car engine power. As much as I love my Z3, I don't want to argue with Francine. I have a feeling she could run me over in under three seconds. What a woman, though. I think I'm in love.

Signs, or, The Man Who Rode a Unicorn

When I was a kid in the late 1960s, I used to see the famous yin-yang symbol everywhere.

It haunted me.

What did it mean?

Why was I seeing it all the time?

I'd be out with my dad, working on the railroad tracks, look up, and a railroad car on another track would chug by with the yin-yang symbol painted on the side of it.

What the - ?

I'd reach for milk (for my growing bones) and see the company symbol on the side of the carton looking a lot like the yin-yang symbol.

Huh?

I'd pick up a paperback book and see the publisher's logo printed on the spine looking almost exactly like the yin-yang symbol.

What's going on here???

It happened too many times for me to dismiss.

What did it mean?

During those confused teenage years, I used to reach out to Al G. Manning, prolific author and playful mystic, who ran the E.S.P. Lab out of Dallas, Texas.

I think he used to charge two dollars to answer a question.

I think he used to channel some "one" called Professor Rhinehardt. (You know, to be sure his answers were accurate.)

Anyway, I lived in Ohio at the time, and would write him about perplexing questions, like why the heck was I seeing a yin-yang symbol everywhere?

Al wrote back, saying the symbol was a sign that my spirit guides were with me.

Spirit guides?

Right or wrong, it sure made me feel better.

There's nothing like going through life thinking you have invisible support around you.

From then on I began to look for the symbol.

Now that I'm a proud owner of a 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM race car for the super rich, I'm learning all I can about the company. I just discovered something fascinating about their car and company symbol.

Turns out Danny Panoz, the owner of the company, designed the crest himself.

He wanted the red, white and blue colors in it to show his company is all American.

And the swirls in the symbol itself?

Yep. They're based on the yin-yang symbol that haunted me as a kid.

I guess this means my spirit guides are still with me (and they're waiting for a ride).

But the signs don't stop there.

Lift the hood of the Panoz and you'll see a plate containing the names of everyone who built the car. Above those names is the phrase, "Dare to share."

That's darn close to my own motto, "Dare something worthy."

Couple these signs with the other fact that "esperante" -- as in Panoz Esperante GTML -- means "spirit and hope," and you have a few signs telling me this is THE car for Joe Vitale to drive.

Good thing, too, as I'm picking up the car today.

I can't help but wonder what signs you've been getting lately...

PS - How can you, too, attract a new car? Well, www.attractanewcar.com is a good place to start. The movie, The Secret, is another. And www.miraclescoaching.com is yet a third. Dream big.

PPS - I just did a Google search and learned that Al G. Manning, the author who helped me when I was a teenager in the 1960s, passed away a few months ago. He was 78. I never got to meet him. I'm sad to hear he left us. He wrote over 20 books and helped a lot of people in his lifetime, including me. I wrote him a few years ago by email. He sent me a nice note, saying he remembered me. He also said he was old and my website was hard to read. He was still giving advice, even when I didn't ask for it. You can see a picture of him riding a unicorn (yes, a unicorn) at www.esplab.com/welcome.html. He's on the other side now, and maybe today someone is channeling him. Whatever the case, I think of him with love. Thank you, Al. Continue riding those unicorns. It's a good sign.

The Story of Francine

I took a "play day" yesterday.

I don't do it often enough, but I drove my BMW 645ci to San Antonio, had lunch with a couple famous magicians, shopped at a wonderful cigar store, and looked at some stunning, collectible sports cars.

I bought one, too.

Her name is Francine.
















Francine is a 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM.

She's gorgeous.

And powerful.

And loud.

Panoz (pronounced "pan-ohhs") is a hand-made, aluminum-alloy body, 420 BHP super-charged V-8, 6-speed barely street-legal race car.

It's rare, unique, collectible and faster than a speeding bullet (o - 60 in 4.2 seconds; o - 100 in 10.9 seconds) .

I've been curious about them ever since Robb Report magazine said a Panoz was one of the top five luxury sports cars in the world.

They're made by Danny Panoz and his small group of builders outside of Atlanta. The GTLM is the road-legal version of the company’s Le Mans GT class competition coupe.

Not only do these auto craftsmen make record-breaking race cars, they also make these rip-roaring street-legal babies for wealthy collectors.

And they sign each of them.

When you look under the hood, you see two plates containing the names of the people who built the car.

Nice touch.

The builders also name the car.

This one is named Francine.

And I love her.

She's my newest girlfriend.

And, so far, Nerissa doesn't seem to mind.

Now here's the lesson for you:

I had to do some belief clearing inside myself to be able to get this car.

After all, this is a $125,000.00 sports car. While I found a motivated seller and got it for far less, I confess I had some belief clearing to do first.

I talked about counter-intentions in yesterday's blog post, and I had some in me.

One part of me (most of me) wanted the car.

But another part (small but there) had some fears.

As I got clear of those fears, getting the car was a snap.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

If you want something and you're not getting it, it's very likely that you have internal blocks, what I call counter-intentions, preventing you from achieving your stated intention.

Get clear and you get results.

If you haven't applied for my new Miracles Coaching program, you might consider it now. It's exactly the service that can help you get clear.

After all, if I can go from homeless to poverty to published author to Internet pioneer to now something of a celebrity (who's in the movie The Secret and who's going on Larry King next week) to millionaire maker who can now afford to collect luxury sports cars, then you can accomplish your goals, too.

It all begins inside yourself.

You just might need a little coaching to get there.

Just ask Francine.

PS - I'll pick up Francine on Tuesday - right before I fly out to be on the Larry King television show. Miracles are possible. I'm living proof. Go for some.

PPS - "Esperante" -- part of the Panoz Esperante GTLM name -- is Italian and means spirit and hope. It doesn't get any more relevant than that, does it?

PPPS - If you want to start to remove those counter-intentions right now, get the Milagro Manifestation Method CD's. We sold out of the first 100 sets, but made more - and this time added about $1,000 in downloads. This way you can start working on your secret barriers and counter-intentions right now, while waiting for the package of CD's to arrive. It's all explained over at http://www.milagromethod.com/ Go see. Go get 'em. Now. And be sure to apply for the Miracles Coaching at www.miraclescoaching.com I'm offering these tools and services to you because I want you to succeed. But it's up to you to actually take the next steps. Will you?

What Are Your Counter-Intentions?

Consider this --

When you made your New Year's Resolutions last January, did you keep them?

Probably not.

Why not?

You said you wanted to stop smoking or go on a diet, but within a few days you were smoking or overeating again.

Why?

You had a stated intention.

That's good. Intentions are powerful.

But you also had an unconscious counter-intention.

The counter-intention won.

This happens all the time, in almost everything you try or say you want.

"Secret barriers" within you stop the results.

A Miracles Coach can help you get clear of them.

I've been using Miracles Coaches for over twenty years. I first wrote about them in my book, The Attractor Factor, where I also coined the term "miracles coach."

My secret to success is this:

When I feel stuck, or notice a counter-intention at play, I call for help.

I listed several Miracles Coaches in the back of my book, The Attractor Factor. Most of them are booked for the next year or more.

But today I announced a whole new service.

I have personally trained a group of mentors to be Miracles Coaches. These are people who know how to help you get clear of counter-intentions so you can have, do, or be what it is you say you want.

Get clear with a Miracles Coach and then keeping resolutions and achieving intentions will be almost automatic.

Millionaire Messiah Reveals Who Really Programmed You

While I read a lot of books -- which is why I love Amazon gift certificates, thank you -- I don't find enough of them that hold my attention in a hypnotic way.

That's disappointing.

But that changed this morning.

Fed-X brought me a copy of Randy Gage's in-your-face new book, Why You're Dumb, Sick and Broke...and How to Get Smart, Healthy, and Rich!

I hate the title.

Why begin a book with an insult?

But I got past it because I'm a major fan of Gage's writings. He's always direct but he's also always liberating.

I've read all of his books, listened to his audios, taken his copywriting course, subscribe to his newsletter, and today count him as a friend and mentor.

He's a prosperity guru.

He's a millionaire messiah.

He's the Jedi Knight of Wealth.

And in this book he is after converts -- converts to awakening from the cultural lack and limitation brainwashing virtually all of us have been subjected to.

Gage begins his book with a riveting story about being shot.

It's hypnotic.

It's unforgettable.

It's compelling.

I held my breath and my gut while he described the experience.

But Gage goes beyond that, and explains something that will probably shock most people...

He admits he manifested the shooting.

He created it.

He attracted it.

You probably don't believe that anyone could do that to themselves, but Randy's powerhouse book explains how he did it, and how you and I are creating our lives -- unconsciously -- because of programming from movies, religion, media, the government and more.

This is a book to shake you to your core -- but in a good way.

I'm already planning to buy it in bulk and give it to everyone I know. Many of them won't like Randy's tough-boy slap-you-awake talk, but I found it refreshing, honest and freeing.

If you want to break free from society's programming, find your own voice and claim your share of the prosperity pie, read this fast-paced book by one of my favorite authors.

Get it.

Get it for yourself.

Get it for family and friends.

But get it.

It's the most hard-hitting, eye-opening, and money-producing book I have ever seen. Randy speaks from the gut and opens the heart. He's honest, practical and inspiring.

You'd be into self-sabotage to pass this one up.

It's at www.Amazon.com and should be in book stores soon.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Your "Secret Barrier" to Wealth

I just read Dan Kennedy's September No B.S. Marketing Letter and was thrilled to see him talk about mindsets and language.

In one section he explained that talking about negative things makes your clients and customers feel bad, which in turn makes them less inclined to buy from you.

People want to feel good. I talked about this in my book, Life's Missing Instruction Manual. Even Kennedy, who can be a grump, realizes that focusing on doom and gloom will simply make people tighten their hold on their wallets or purses.

Instead, focus on the good, talk about the positive, and help people feel better.

Dan's back page essay -- always my favorite part of his No B.S. newsletter -- is all about how your own thinking leads to the reality you create.

Dan begins his article by saying the other day he deposited $802,486.00 in the bank.

Not bad for a day's work. (It was for more than a day's work, but you get the idea.)

Dan goes on to brilliantly explain that most of us -- even him, even me -- have a "secret barrier" within us that keeps us from bringing in a larger income.

Whatever income you have right now is there because you are comfortable with it.

You probably made far less money decades ago. As you grew more comfortable, as you raised your secret barrier, you could allow more money into your life.

In short, you are earning what you are expecting.

The way to sell more and raise your income is to help people feel good and to work on your inner secret barrier.

How do you change your secret barrier to wealth?

You read this blog. You read Dan Kennedy. You read books about the wealthy. You subscribe to magazines for the affluent. You read my book, The Attractor Factor. You watch the movie The Secret. You get into or create a mastermind group of wealthy people. You surround yourself with wealth and prosperity so you can begin to accept it, feel it, own it, and expect it.

In short, you get comfortable with the idea of wealth.

Two tips:

1. Subscribe to Dan's newsletter. He's a genius and a living legend. You can get a three month subscription, to try it out, at www.freegiftfrom.com/dankennedy/

2. Get the Milagro Manifestation Method CD's and put them in your iPod or on your PC or Mac, or in your car or wherever you can soak up their music and messages. See www.milagromethod.com

These CD's are so powerful that last night at dinner Bill Hibbler said when he puts one of the CD's on, he instantly becomes a powerhouse copywriter.

I think the CD's are so potent that I asked Pat O'Bryan at dinner last night to bring me another set, so I can send them to a company I know that may want to promote them.

Get your own set at www.milagromethod.com

Bottomline: You get what you expect.

Or, as Dan says in his newsletter, "You'll only get to bank what your internal system permits you to accept."

PPS - One of the ways I lift my own secret barrier to wealth is by dreaming about attracting new luxury items, like the above picture of the Panoz sports car, the Panoz Esperante GTLM. I've yet to even see that beauty, let alone ride in it or drive it, but thinking about buying it (it costs about $120,000.00) stretches my mind to get comfortable with even greater amounts of wealth. After all, I already have two BMW's. Getting a third luxury sports car would be a stretch for me, at least mentally. But I want to lift my secret barrier. You can do this, too. Go here or here for some help.
