Guess the Quote

"______. That's your job. That's all you have to do."

Gee, I wonder who said that?

And I wonder what word goes in that blank?

I'll fill in the blank in a second, but first let me ask you a question --

Are you aware of Mark Joyner's work?

(No, he didn't say the above quote.)

He's a genius at Internet marketing, but his life is all about something bigger.That guy is wired to make changes happen in the world. I think that's all that matters for him, really. I think that becomes clearer and clearer to people each day as they watch what he does.

For example, he's just written an extraordinarily profound book. Without question it's the best thing he's ever written. His last book I said was "the first marketing breakthrough in 50 years" and I meant it.

This new book has *nothing* to do with marketing.

Nothing.

It's much bigger and much more important. It's a dazzling exploration of the human mind - but one put so simply and elegantly that you'll think you just watched a movie.

It examines the crazy bugaboos that can infect our minds and take us off the course of what we want.

This is stuff that should be taught in grade school, really, but isn't.

It then teaches you how to get your head around the *actions* you need to take to get the things you want.

Does this surprise you?

One of the stars of The Secret talking about action?

It shouldn't. Here's a quote from the film. I know it's right because the talking head that was up on the screen when these words came through was ME :-)

"The Universe likes speed. Don´t delay. Don´t second guess. Don´t doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, ACT. That´s your job. That´s all you have to do."

Mark's "Simpleology" is all about speed and action.

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

The results people have been getting from it are nothing short of miraculous. Not only that, you'll learn some pretty shocking and surprising stuff about how your brain works, how society is structured, and a lot more.

Some of this stuff is so fresh and new that you will have several jaw-dropping "what??? I didn't know that!" moments in the quick single sitting it will take you to read this book.

And there are some new useful theories and models that may be looked back on as serious philosophical breakthroughs {there is some PhD thesis level new information in here that Mark dishes out ever-so-casually like candy on a dish - you may not even realize how revolutionary this stuff is while you are reading it - it's presented so smoothly and in such a fascinating can't-put-it-down way).

You can watch a heart-pounding video "trailer" for the book here:

You'll get a ton of bonus goodies shipped to your e-door for buying, but you don't need that. The book, alone, is one of your "must have" purchases this year.

In fact, buy a copy for every member of your family. It's one of those "should have been handed out at the door way of life" rarities.

Remember that the universe loves speed ... Go do this now before the next email comes in.

Serving Love

I love gadgets.

The smaller, the better.

The more powerful, the better.

The more unique, the better.

When my four-year-old Fujitsu Lifebook started to get too sluggish, I started thinking about a new one.

I love my Blackberry 8700C for getting email and answering phone calls, but trying to view web sites on it requires a microscope. I wanted one of those new ultra-light warp-speed too-cool "laptops" to carry on planes and use out by the pool.

I looked at the new 0q0 long and hard. It's under one pound and does everything but transport me from here to your house. But the website is poorly done, the model is back ordered for almost three months, and the device isn't much bigger than my Blackberry, anyway.

I then considered the new Fujitsu Lifebook P1610. It's about 2 pounds and can come as a double-duty tablet screen PC as well as a regular screen Windows unit.

I also knew there are lots of other makes and models out there. Trying to decide which one to get for me was getting confusing.

I bought a few gadget magazines.

I poked around online doing research.

I even went into a retail computer store, which amazingly didn't have a single ultra-light to show me.

"They're all on our site," the clerk told me.

Yea, but I'm in your store, I thought, and I have money in my pocket to spend right now.

So I wrote to Fujitsu and asked them which model they would recommend from their giant catalog of products.

I also wrote to Dynamism, a popular gadget site that's been around for nine years. They specialize in selling Japanese products to the US market. I wanted to know what model they would suggest, too.

Fujitsu never replied.

That was over a week go and they still haven't replied. Very disappointing. I was a Fujitsu customer and was all set to be one again. But they ignored me.

Dynamism wrote back quickly.

They suggested the Panasonic R6. It's 2 pounds and has an 8 hour battery life.

I bought it.

It arrived yesterday. I had some questions about operating it, so I called Dynamism. They answered the phone every time. There was never a wait. Never put on hold.

And when I asked one tech guy there if I could ask a few more questions, he laughed and said, "You can ask me anything you like. I'm here for you."

Last night Nerissa and I went out with our friend Mark Ryan. The Mississippi waitress who took care of us had off the charts high energy, Southern charm, and a smile that made my heart sing. We loved her and her spirit.

When we asked her what kept her so happy while she served people, she said, "I'm trying to make a small difference in people's lives."

She ended up sitting with us at our table, after dinner, and talking to us for almost an hour.

That's service.

That's love.

And whether it's from a computer store or a waitress, we all want it.

Are you giving it?

Chasing Moments

I spent part of yesterday in San Antonio with a dear friend. We talked at length about life and spirituality.

I told him that most people are "out" of the moment.

They are looking for the next deal, next car, next house, next pay raise, next check...not realizing that the point of power, the true miracle, is right here.

The quest for the "stuff" is a grand illusion. There's nothing wrong with any of it, as long as you know it's part of the game of life.

But most people think it will bring lasting happiness. It won't. As soon as you achieve it or attract it, you'll desire something else.

You'll be chasing the next moment.

I told my friend about the Adam Sandler movie, Click. The essence of the movie is that Adam is trying to fast-forward through life. He does, too. But near the end he realizes he has missed out on life itself.

I do my best not to leave the moment. I still do, of course. I'm learning, too.

But I do my best to stay here, in this moment, knowing that as I do, the next moment takes care of itself. As long as I fully participate in this moment, the next ones are just as good and often incredibly better.

In fact, when you stay in the moment, you attract more of the good things in life and appreciate them longer.

The key is to be here now, with awareness and gratitude.

My friend said the message about being in the moment caused a shift in him.

I hope it does with you, as well.

This really is it.

Attracting the Great Lotto Publicity Stunt

Unless you get a little uncomfortable now and then, you're probably playing it safe.

That's fine, unless you have a big dream you haven't fulfilled yet.

That's when you may have to leave your comfort zone.

Here's what I mean...

In 2006 I made a decision that changed my life. It involved hiring one of the most notorious media pranksters in the world.

I hired him to create one of the largest publicity stunts in modern history.

Why?

To do what?

I knew my book, The Attractor Factor, changed lives. I had and have hundreds of stories from readers to prove it.

But I also knew there was a whole world that never heard of it, despite it being a bestseller twice. I wanted that world to notice my book. And to reach them I was going to have to do something, well, outrageous.

So I attracted the right man to pull off the right stunt, and we attracted national media attention for my book.

This was a daring thing for me to do.

We planned to "win" the largest lotto jackpot in the history of the US.

And for a few days, we did just that.

The entire event could have backfired and led to bad publicity.

It didn't.

It was fun, educational, entertaining, and led to my book getting even more attention than ever before.

In fact, The Attractor Factor has sold out five times now, is now in paperback and hardcover editions, and continues to be a top seller at Amazon. It's that very book that got me into the movie The Secret.

Obviously, that "scary publicity stunt" worked to help attract more success.

This entire "humbug" is now a fast-paced documentary on DVD, which went on sale yesterday. It's called "Humbug: The Art of Outrageous Publicity."

It may be the scariest thing I've filmed yet.

It contains interviews with me, and Alan Abel, the zany publicist I hired (who wrote the above pictured book, How to Thrive on Rejection).

It also contains juicy background stories about famous people who used outrageous publicity in the past, from Mark Twain to Edgar Allan Poe to of course P.T. Barnum.

It also shows you the outrageous publicity event as it happened, complete with actual news footage, newspaper headlines, and media interviews.

On top of that, I explain why you need to consider using publicity for yourself and your business, whether you're online or not.

And then there are the bonus features, including one with me sitting in Francine (my Panoz exotic sports car), and telling you why taking a gamble sometimes is the wisest thing you can do.

Oh.

And I also unveil the mermaid I own.

There's more, of course.

You can get details and even see a short video excerpt from it over at --www.customflix.com/226626

If you want some educational entertainment, and if you want to be informed and inspired, then go take a look.

Success goes to those who dare to dream.

And sometimes you have to take a little "scary action," as well.

The Big Idea

If you're not watching Donny Deutsch's TV show The Big Idea, then you are missing some of the most inspiring and informative programming on television today.

This show takes away every excuse you can come up with for not making it in America today.

Donny interviews people with insane ideas, stupid ideas, wild ideas, outrageous ideas, and people with no education, no money, no experience, no connection, no hope -- all of whom go on to make fortunes.

One time he did a show on kids who became millionaires. Another time on "losers" who became billionaires.

This has to be one of the best shows on TV for learning that YOU CAN DO IT, TOO if you believe in yourself and take action.

A group for people who have read and are interested in applying the principles of Dr. Joe Vitale's THE ATTRACTOR FACTOR, which states that you can attract into your life whatever you wish. We will exchange information and ideas about the five steps Dr. Vitale advocates and support group members as we manifest our dreams through our own creative power, using those five steps. We can also discuss and apply principles from other teachers whose work enhances Dr. Vitale's (ie, Mike Dooley, Bruce Di Marsico, Dr. Robert Anthony, Bob Doyle, Dr. Wayne Dyer, The Sedona Method, etc.) We'll work on `clearing out' the limiting and negative beliefs that have held us back and leaving ourselves open to all the possibilities the Universe presents to us.

"Change News"

Like you, I've often gotten bad news.

Something I wanted to happen didn't turn out the way I hoped.

Like you, I've been disappointed.

But I've learned that that "bad news" was often good news in disguise.

Something much better happened instead - often something I could never even imagine.

So I think we need a new phrase for "bad news."

I suggest Change News.

Change News can be our new code for something that didn't go as we planned but will mean a new, better direction; we just might not see where the new direction is taking us yet.

In other words, the next time some "bad news" comes your way, reframe it in your mind to be "change news."

Yes, you didn't get what you said you wanted, but maybe, just maybe, you're about to get something even better. You just have to wait out the change to see where it leads. The "bad" simply means "change."

To help you understand this, here's what I wrote in The Attractor Factor:

I remember reading a helpful passage in one of my favorite books, Breaking the Rules by Kurt Wright. It goes like this:

“Have you ever noticed how easy it is to look back on events that happened a year or more in the past and see the perfection in them? For most of us this is true even for situations which seemed tragic, horrible or even devastating at the time. Now, if it is possible to see the perfection in those things a year later, doesn’t it make sense that the perfection must be there in the moment it happens, too?”

Wow! What a freeing statement! It causes you to look for the positive in everything, and to look for it right now.

Look for the positive in the negative -- or at least trust there will be a positive in the "negative" -- and you change bad news to change news.

Small, Selfish Things or, Gandhi asks?

Sometimes folks wonder why the focus of people who read my books or watch the movie The Secret is on things like attracting a new car or feeling happier. Some regard those as "small, selfish things."

Truth is, so many people are unhappy, unhealthy, and just plain broke that using the Law of Attraction to get a car, or a house, or a job, or happiness, is simply the most noble thing they can do at this time. It's also exactly what they should do.

It's not selfish; it's actually a step toward self-actualization.

I also know that at a certain point you set your sights higher. After you've manifested a car or two, or more money, or a better relationship, you start expanding your desires. There are already numerous people in the world doing just that: using the Law of Attraction to cure cancer, AIDS, poverty, and more.

Oprah is a good example. She openly admits to using The Secret and is doing historic work in third world countries.

Larry King is another, with his cardiac foundation.

George Foreman is still another, with his youth centers.

Many of the teachers in The Secret have huge causes, too.

Jack Canfield wants to transform politics.

Lisa Nichols is going to Africa to help people there.

I'm working on erasing homelessness and poverty, both of which I've experienced.

I'm also helping people (with the help of Scott York) build their business as well as their body with www.yourbusinessbody.com

Then there are the people you've never heard of, who are using the Law of Attraction to make a huge difference, such as the woman I wrote about a few weeks ago, who is raising money to help women with cancer get beauty treatments so they feel better about themselves.

And there's the female comedian who is raising audiotaped greetings and applause for troops overseas so they feel loved.

The list goes on.

Since the cultural mindset with the bigger problems is one of victim, those issues may not be healed overnight. But rest assured, there are wonderful people working on those problems, and using ideas in The Secret and The Attractor Factor to get the job done.

But here's what's more important:

Instead of wondering what everyone else is doing, ask what you are doing.

How are you helping the world?

What causes are you creating or supporting?

How are you contributing to the betterment of the planet?

As Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Are you?

George Foreman's Secret

I asked heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman if he had seen the movie The Secret.

He hadn't yet. He then pointed at my fist and said, "That's the real secret, right there."

I think he meant focus was the secret, but who knows.

I sure liked the guy, and his talk (we were speakers at the same event) was inspiring and hard-hitting - just like the man himself.

At the Airport

I'm sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for my flight home. The place is packed to the nth degree. Where are all these people going?

Moments ago a fellow spotted me and came to say hi. He's been on my email list for years. I met him, his wife, their son, and their dog.

The other night I met George Forman. The line to meet him was far longer than the one to meet me. I was in his line too. I'll tell you what he and I talked about on another post.

My talk yesterday went well. I was stunned that most of the audience had not heard of the movie The Secret. Talk about proof that you must keep marketing and never stop. Even after two Oprah shows and three Larry King shows, a large even gigantic part of the world still doesn't know what the fuss is all about.

You must keep marketing.

While it's flattering that someone recognized me here at the airport, by far most of the people here never heard of me.

Just now my celebrity spotting friend came back and asked to have a picture with me. He runs www.pettech.net.

We all must keep marketing.

First Class Abundance

About ten years ago Bob Procter told me if you aren't flying First Class, you're still in poverty consciousness.

It took almost all of those ten years for me to agree with him. I resisted paying the extra money, thinking I should use it for something else.

Well, that's scarcity thinking. There's enough money for First Class and everything else IF your mindset is one of abundance.

Today I'm there. Today I only fly First Class.

A Book Combo Worth Gold

Joseph Sugarman is one of America’s top copywriters and mail order entrepreneurs. He's also my mentor and dear friend.

Experiencing both success and failure, he launched several companies, the most famous of which is BluBlocker sunglasses—all from the power of his pen.

Several years ago Joe sat down and wrote Advertising Secrets of the Written Word—recognized by his peers as one of the best copywriting books of all time. It was based on a series of expensive seminars he gave to a select group of entrepreneurs during a 20-year period.

Joe followed Advertising Secrets with another book entitled Triggers, which taught 30 psychological techniques to “Control the Mind of Your Prospect to Influence, Motivate and Persuade.”

Both books revealed many of the secrets that brought Joe enormous success and established a new paradigm for effective copywriting. The seminar cost participants $6,000 and the hard cover books cost over $50.

Joe has just combined his Advertising Secrets book and Triggers, updated them to include the Internet and several new copywriting applications and has made it available in paperback on Amazon.com for only $14.16.

The book is entitled “The Adweek Copywriting Handbook—the Ultimate Guide to Writing Powerful Advertising and Marketing Copy from One of America’s Top Copywriters,” and contains a ton of original material.

Joe is a personal friend of mine and I can vouch for the quality of this book and the information he shares. Just one idea or one trigger and this book could easily pay for itself many times over. This is truly an incredible value and one that I urge you to take advantage of.

It's in book stores or of course from www.amazon.com

Go get it.

Is Action Always Necessary?

When using the ideas in my book The Attractor Factor or in the movie The Secret, you don't always need to take action.

Sometimes -- often -- what you want will come about almost without you doing anything.

More often than not, though, you have to do something.

When Larry King calls me on a Wednesday night to appear on his show a second time the very next day, my part is to rush to the airport and get to CNN in LA.

I had to do a lot of sprinting to make it to the show.

That's action.

In my book The Attractor Factor I call what you need to do "inspired action."

If you get an inner prompt to make a call or buy a book or attend an event or apply for a job, then honor that nudge.

Act on it.

That nudge is coming from the part of you connected to the greater picture. It can lead you to the fulfillment of your goal. It will send the nudge, but you have to act on it.

My other point about action is that when you are clear about what you want and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it, the action you take will be effort-free.

I've written about this before. I write a tremendous amount of books. For many, it would seem like work. For me, it is effort free. I'm certainly working, but the mindset I have is that this is as natural as breathing.

The Secret leads many to believe action isn't necessary. Action may or may not be necessary. It depends on you and what you want. My message today is to pay attention to the signs and jump when it feels like it's part of the divine plan.

When you do, miracles happen.

Ao Akua,

PS - I just signed a six-figure book deal yesterday. I got the offer and took action to accept it. Now I have to take action to manifest the book. When you're in the flow and doing what is right for you, magic and miracles do happen. The rest of the world will see you "working." But you'll be enjoying the divine play of life.

It's described as "...ideal for entertaining within your own resort complete w/a water theme park, a lagoon, waterfalls, slides, a pirate ship, caves, an entertaining guest pool house. Enjoy your own lake, a covered pavilion, separate 2 bedroom/guest house..."

On Being Bald

Yesterday I heard that some of the attackers of The Secret are now personally attacking me.

One of their observations is that I'm bald, and so maybe the Law of Attraction doesn't really work.

I've never regarded being bald as a problem. If I did, I could attract all sorts of solutions to it, from toupees to plugs to hair transplants to whathaveyou. I'm simply not interested.

I'm surprised the persuasion experts are resorting to personal attacks, but maybe they're just jealous that they're not bald, too.

PS - It was fun to see Larry laugh when I told him the three laws of the universe. It was more fun to see him react when I told him about The Secret #2.

Inside The Stinking Rose

Right after my second appearance on the Larry King Live show, my limo driver took me to The Stinking Rose, a garlic themed restaurant in Beverly Hills.



This is a picture of my driver, Raul. He's digging into a plate of chicken that was baked with forty cloves of garlic.



This is one the restaurant's appetizers: a plate of anchovies.


I loved The Stinking Rose and can't wait to go back.

Maybe next time Larry King will join me.

Ao Akua,

After Larry King and The Stinking Rose

Whew. Flying from Austin to LA and back again for five minutes of national TV air time is exhausting and exhilarating.

I loved the show and loved how Larry asked honest even skeptical questions. I really enjoyed being with him. I could get used to this. Judging from the emails I'm getting of praise for how I appeared on the show, I think people liked it.

I still can't believe my limo driver took me out to eat at the Stinking Rose. He's the same driver I tipped last week and wrote about. I didn't request him but there he was, taking me to CNN to meet Larry King once again.

The Stinking Rose is a garlic themed restaurant. They have garlic martinis. And chicken cooked with forty gloves of garlic. Even garlic condoms.

What a great evening. Even a young lady saw me and said she loves my book The Attractor Factor. Ah, fame.

Right now I'm having a drink on a deck overlooking Hollywood. Its a cool wonderful evening.

The Stinking Rose

I just did the Larry King Live show. It was over before I knew it. The gang split up and left me alone so my limo driver is taking me out for dinner. He says The Stinking Rose is a great place for dinner. That's where I'm headed. Is life wild or what?

The "Smoking" Greatest Online Movie

I don't watch many online videos, but I just stumbled across one of the most sincere, powerful, persuasive and convincing online promo "movies" I've seen yet. It's at -

www.cgarsltd.co.uk/document.aspx?id=cgarsmovie.htm

It's also the best place in the world to get rare and exotic cigars.

Just watch and listen to the convincing gent in the movie to get a sense that when it comes to cigars, nothing is impossible for him.

Ao Akua,

PS - Note the video is simply done, but oh so sincere.

Roopa's Stress Relief

I never told you but the last few weeks have been stressful beyond measure.

My emergency surgery was one thing. But there were health complications that scared me. I didn't mention it because I didn't want any "worry" energy on it.

Then the sucess of the movie The Secret brought me added fame. But it also turned old friends into anti-secret warriors. That hurt.

On top of my healing and recovery I had a new book deadline and travels to make. Right now I'm in San Diego. Its four AM as I peck this out on my Blackberry.

I'm saying all of this to lead to my breakthrough. I spent an entire day with Dr. Roopa Chari and her family and feel ready to take on the world.

I have rarely met such loving, generous, spiritual, happy and healthy people.

Roopa helped me years ago with high blood pressure. Now her whole family is working as a team to heal me. I wish I could find the words to express my wonder at what they do.

Their office is full of space-age devices right off the Starship Enterprise. Combined with Roopa's medical background, they are able to accomplish what others call miracles.

I'm not the only one they helped, of course. Gonzo NLP creator Richard Bandler is also a client.

Roopa's mother cooked home made Indian food for me. It was incredible. I warned them I am moving in or moving close.

I want more of their magic.

TIPS

I hired a driver in Rome five years ago. We had a great time until at the end of the day he said I owed him more money than we had agreed on.

He did not get a tip.

Yesterday I hired a driver to take us from LA to San Clemente and on to San Diego. He was wonderful. When Nerissa needed medicine he instantly handled it.

When I needed a bathroom he instantly crossed five lanes and found one. When we met friends and stayed later than planned he never complained.

I gave him a 200 percent tip.

I've made waitresses cry by giving them 100 percent tips.

TIPS mean 'to insure prompt service'.

It means more than that to me. It's all about feeling good, rewarding good service, tithing, spreading prosperity and living abundance.

I love giving astonishing tips when I meet astonishing servers.

The Mansion

You might recall that last year I posted a picture of a Panoz race car and said I was curious about them.

One week later I drove home in Francine www.mrfire.com/francine

You might also remember that last year I posted a picture of a California mansion I was interested in.

As I type this, I am in the back of a limo on my way to see and possibly buy that very estate.

Playing with possibilities is a great way to attract a new reality.

More on CBS

The CBS Early Show just aired a special on The Secret. My bud and costar James Ray went head to head with a skeptic. I liked that James said you can't just wish for results. You have to take action too. I also love that the inspiring messages in The Secret are getting such worldwide coverage. It doesn't hurt that I was on the CBS show this morning too.
