Guess the Quote

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 30th, 2007

“______. 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:

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

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.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Serving Love

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 29th, 2007

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?

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS — The picture above shows my new R6 along with a paperback book, a box of cigars, my Blackberry, the new Humbug DVD, and a can of soda. I don’t carry all of that around, of course. It’s simply there to give you perspective.

Chasing Moments

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 28th, 2007

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.
Ao Akua,
Joe

Attracting the Great Lotto Publicity Stunt

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 26th, 2007

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.

Ao Akua,

Joe

A Compliment

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 25th, 2007

Self-help legend and best-selling author Robert Ringer just sent me the following email:

“Don’t know how I came across this link, but I’m obliged to tell you that it’s really excellent ad copy. I rarely compliment anyone’s copywriting, as most of the stuff out there is schlock. But if you wrote this yourself, my hat’s off to you. Good to see quality stuff for a change.”

He’s referring to www.miraclescoaching.com

The Big Idea

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 24th, 2007

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.

LOA Forums

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 23rd, 2007

Since this is a blog and not a forum, I thought you might like to know where to go to discuss the law of attraction or like subjects. A search at Google will turn up numerous places. Here are two that I know of firsthand:

Law Of Attraction Forum
A Gathering to Talk About: Law Of Attraction..Abundance..Intentions…Intended Results..Deliberate Creation…Abraham-Hicks Created and Founded By Marcy From Maui
http://marcyfrommaui.powerfulintentions.com/forum/LawofAttraction

Attractor Factor Forum
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. If you’re looking for a place to make your life magical and see your dreams come true, this is it!

"Change News"

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 23rd, 2007

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?

By Dr. Joe Vitale - March 22nd, 2007

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?
