Dr. Joe Vitale at Zero

A reader by the name of Zeno Muncrief was kind enough to analyze the popularity of my main site at www.mrfire.com/ compared to the rankings of the other teachers in the movie The Secret who were also on the Larry King Live TV show.

I’m the blue line.

Apparently I did OK.

I think it’s important that you always check to see how you are doing in the marketplace. I often get caught up in my own busyness and forget to do it.

Thank you, Zeno.

Ao Akua,

The other day I signed up for the cigar-of-the-month club over at www.cigar.com/

I was so excited that I paid for the entire year’s membership in advance. As part of the deal for doing that, I would get a small desktop humidor to hold my cigars, as well as my first month’s stash of cigars.

I couldn’t wait. I knew the package would arrive today, so I practically sat on the porch (in the rain) waiting for the delivery truck.

Fortunately it came early.

I got the package, told the dog and cats to get out of my way, ripped it open, saw the beautiful humidor, and then opened it’s lid to find — nothing.

It was empty!

I was instantly miffed.

So much for me being non-attached and spiritually evolved.

I went online, wrote an email to the company, and “thanked” them for sending me an empty box. After all, I told them, you’re a cigar store. You couldn’t put any cigars in the box??

Barely an hour later, I received a very understanding email from Jeff, a personal cigar consultant at www.cigar.com

He said he would overnight me some cigars, would send me another humidor (I’m not sure why), and offered to be my personal consultant if I needed anything concerning cigars for myself or my friends.

Smart move.

Not only did he save the sale, make me feel better, and turn me into a customer for life, but I’m also browsing their catalog right now - with Jeff’s help - so I can place a large order — an order I never intended to ever place!

The moral: Do more than what your customers expect.

PS — “The Attractor Factor” is still working. A little later in the day the mail brought me a small box. It was a gift from one of the coaches in my www.miraclescoaching.com program. The box contained a selection of cigars. So my empty humidor is no longer empty. See how this magic works? I got an empty box, vented about it, and let it go. Once I was detached, the box got filled. This is the key to a happy life.

Jennifer McLean is a doll with a brilliant new book. I wrote the foreword and I think you’ll want the book. Here’s her pitch for it:

Al and Laura Reis, Jay Conrad Levinson and Dr. Joe Vitale have all endorsed an amazing new book: The Credibility Factor.

What these marketing leaders recognize is the absolute importance of perception and how that perception is molded by credibility resulting in quicker conversion, higher-paying customers, and long-term loyalty.

What in your life is more important than trust?

Trust is often the filter you use in the most critical decisions you make.

So how can you build more trustworthiness into your product or company?

How can you firmly establish credibility so your product or company will stand out as a benchmark of excellence?

There are simple rules that anyone can put into practice, and this new book, The Credibility Factor, shows you how; it teaches you how to influence the influencers for instant credibility.

The Credibility Factor is launching Nov 28th in a special bundled packaged along with hundreds of dollars of great marketing bonus gift items.

Just go to http://www.credibilitybranding.com/credfactor.htm and you are on your way to winning the perception race.

I was flipping through the latest issue of U.S. News & World Report and spotted this ad.

I read and re-read it, wondering if it was legit or a spoof.

I then went online to www.lawsuitaddiction.com/ (the site given in the ad) and saw the entire strategy: the ad is a portal to a very well done and very powerful site designed to protect consumers.

The people behind the ad are The Center for Consumer Freedom. Their site says…

The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition of restaurants, food companies, and consumers working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices. The growing cabal of “food cops,” health care enforcers, militant activists, meddling bureaucrats, and violent radicals who think they know “what’s best for you” are pushing against our basic freedoms. We’re here to push back.

I’m not sure what to make of their movement just yet, but their ad is well worth modelling, as well as checking out.

Go see.

PS - Ads like this can be addictive.

Austin All Natural magazine is running a feature story on me for their December issue. It’s not printed yet, but you can see the text of the article on www.mrfire.com, under guest articles.

Or simply go direct to : http://www.mrfire.com/article-archives/guest-articles/joe-vitale-knows-the-secret.html

I thought it was well done, and can’t wait to see the printed version, which will contain pictures of me and Francine.

I just moments ago learned that ABC News online reported on the hit movie The Secret. You can see the entire story at http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2681640&page=1

I’ll be speaking in Poland in a little over a week.

In the off chance that you are near there, see www.vitale.pl

I’m talking on Hypnotic Marketing one day and The Attractor Factor the next.

I don’t speak a single word of Polish, so this should be interesting.

We just watched the new version of the hit movie The Secret.

This one is longer, smoother, more emotional, and includes more segments of some key people, including me.

Even if you’ve seen the movie already, I urge you to see it now. This version is better.

Also, the book version of The Secret is now in book stores.

So is the audio CD version.

Check it out.
