The Secret of Wealth Attraction

How do you use the the law of abundance and the law of attraction to attract money or attract wealth?

Wealth attraction is all about understanding the hidden secret of money.

In short, money will match your mindset.

Let me repeat that:

Money will match your mindset.

You need to understand that you have a mindset toward money. It is in your unconscious. It is either attracting or repelling money to you. Change that mindset and you can have more money. I’ll be explaining all of this in my next book, Attract Money Now, but let me talk about this a little right now.

Recently I went to Ohio and witnessed a meeting designed to end poverty. It’s working, too. It’s the heart-child and brain-child of Scott Miller, who wrote the mind-stretching book, Until It’s Gone.

Scott teaches people in poverty that they have a hidden mindset toward money that is keeping them broke. They think in terms of scarcity, panic, fear, threat, lack and limitation. They also think in terms of victimhood.

But people in the middle class have a mindset toward money, too. They think a little more broadly, but still think in terms of limitations and fears. People in poverty can’t see past the fear of the moment. People in middle class can’t see beyond the job wage they get.

Wealthy people also have a mindset toward money. They may think more abundantly, but often they aren’t thinking of others. They, like most people, are focused on their survival, only on a more luxurious level.

In order to attract money or attract wealth, you have to awaken from your unconscious programming. The secret to using the law of abundance or law of attraction is to expand your relationship to money and wealth. Become aware of the hidden beliefs and then change them.

Here are three ways to do just that:

1. Get The Secret to Attracting Money. This is my in-depth audio program on attracting money. It contains everything from a money attraction IQ test to a practical and spiritual system for becoming a money magnet. It works.

2. Get my free book Attract Money Now. I’m writing this to help you. I plan to give it away. It will reveal a proven seven step formula for attracting money that will work for anyone who uses it. Yes, even you.

3. Get a Miracles Coach. Nothing works faster or better than having a coach. This is the #1 secret to success of every major player you can name. Get a coach and transform your life.

In short, you can attract more money — a wonderful tool for helping yourself and others — by simply becoming more awake. And you begin the process of awakening by taking action right now.

What are you going to do next?

Ao Akua,

Attracting Patrick Dempsey’s Sports Car

Actor Patrick Dempsey loves sports cars but not the Porsche so much as the Panoz. I know because I just attracted his custom made exotic car, and it ain’t what you think.

If you’ve been following my career, you know over the last few years I’ve been attracting a car collection. Not a collection on the scale of Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld, but good enough to get into magazines such as Heavy Hitters and Austin Fit, and on TV shows like Discovery Channel’s upcoming new one on Super Cars.

The other thing you may or may not know is that I rarely go seeking these cars. They come to me. I’m just alert enough to seize the moment when the car is there. I say “Yes!” to them.

And that is a secret to how the Law of Attraction works.

For example,  I knew Patrick Dempsey (of TV’s Grey’s Anatomy and many movies, such as Freedom Writers) had a Panoz exotic sports car because I’ve been to the Panoz factory, met the Panoz family, and heard his story. I also own Francine, a 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM, a fiery redhead of a car.

Dempsey’s car was custom built for him in 2002, with every street-rocket perk you could install at the time. He’s a race car fan and driver, and knows what he wants in a barely street-legal exotic car. Panoz listened and built what he wanted. The result is a one-of-a-kind car. It’s a supercharged V8 with 420 HP. Like my own Francine, it’s an Esperante GTLM. In fact, according to the Panoz company, it was the first Esperante ever built. It was named Tallulah, after Dempsey’s daughter.

I remember thinking it would be cool to somehow buy his car one day. But I didn’t worry about it. I mentally set my intention and let it go. I had no attachment to it at all. None.

The other day I got my daily eBay alerts for the topics I’m interested in (such as Panoz, P.T. Barnum, Steve Reeves, Joe Vitale, John Scarne, Bugatti Veyron, etc). To my surprise, Patrick Dempsey’s hand-made one-of-kind Panoz sports car was listed for sale.

Please note that I did not go looking for that car. I let it come to me. But when it did, I took action and bid on it. I now own it. I’ll be picking it up next week in Chicago.

The same thing happened when I stumbled across Steven Tyler’s rare Panoz AIV Roadster. I’m of course aware of the Aerosmith singer, but never thought I’d actually find or buy his collectible car. Well, I did.

And almost the very same thing happened when I learned that the 1976 Jaguar XJS owned by famous bodybuilder and actor Steve Reeves (Hercules) was available. It wasn’t listed on eBay, but I found it while browsing a website about Reeves. I couldn’t believe it was for sale. I bought it for a fair price, invested a lot of money to repair and restore it, and now proudly own it.

But remember, this post isn’t about buying or collecting cars; it’s about attracting what you want with intent, detachment, and action.

In fact, the more detached you are, the better for attracting results.

For example, when I was in San Diego last September for my Miracles Weekend event, I went to a luxury car dealership to see a Bugatti Veyron, probably the fastest and most expensive car yet made. I loved the car but didn’t want to spend over a million dollars for it.

While there, I saw a 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom. I had no conscious intent to buy the Rolls, but did (and did on the day the stock market dropped the most number of points in recent history). As a result of spontaneously buying that car, with no need or attachment, I created a whole new business: the Rolls-Royce Phantom Mastermind.

If you study this post, you’ll see some key elements at play in making the Law of Attraction work for you:

1. State what you want.

2. Release any need for it.

3. Take action on the opportunities you spot.

Again, attracting a new car isn’t the goal but only the demonstration of how this process works. If you think this is about attracting cars or “stuff”, then you’ve missed the point.

I could rationalize my car purchases as investments in a private collection (they are), or as rewards for milestones in my life (I just spoke to 15,000 in Peru), or explain that I intend to turn Dempsey’s car into a hydrogen-hybrid (by fitting it with Ronn Motors’s H2GO system, like the one used in their amazing exotic sports car, the Scorpion).

But the larger lesson is these cars illustrate how the Law of Attraction works. For you it may not be attracting cars but something completely different. Attract whatever you want. It doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter. I’m challenging you to make the LOA process conscious – and to enjoy the ride as you do.

Finally, I confess that I had doubts and second thoughts before actually placing the winning bid for Dempsey’s car.  That’s the nature of our monkey mind. But then I remembered a key principle in my course, The Secret to Attracting Money.

It’s the principle I coined “Prosperous Purchasing“.

Prosperous Purchasing means this: when the product or service is there, and your desire is there, and the money is there, then buy.

Why?

When you buy under those circumstances — Please note I’m not advising you to go into debt or spend recklessly — you send a psychological message of self-worth to yourself, and you join the abundant flow of the universe.

In short, spending under those conditions will increase your prosperity.

Because I now own Patrick Dempsey’s sports car — due to the Law of Attraction, the Law of Right Action, and the Law of Prosperous Purchasing — I expect to achieve even greater wealth, success, and happiness.*

And that’s yet another secret to attracting what you want: your expectations lead to your results.

As the title of my most recent book says, Expect Miracles.

What do you expect?

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS — Actor Patrick Dempsey is one day going to want another sports car, whether a Porsche or a Panoz or some other exotic car. When he does, he might check out How to Attract a New Car. Varoom!

* Get this: An hour after winning Dempsey’s car on eBay, I was notified by one of my business partners that I had three times what I invested in the car coming to me in commissions from product sales. (!)  See how all of this works?

The Secet in Macchu Picchu, Peru

Macchu Picchu, Peru is home to the lost city of the Incas and is no longer a secret.

I went there for a visit after revealing The Secret in Lima, Peru to a Super Bowl sized crowd of Peruvians who are ready for better lives.

What a trip it was, too.

Lima, Peru is a mega-city of 7,000,000 people. They are hard-working and wanting more. The arrival of Bob Proctor and myself was the talk of the city. I did back to back interviews upon my arrival with local newspapers and television stations. One station even sent two reporters from Lima to my home in Texas to interview me before I ever got to Peru. That story ran on national Peruvian open television a few days before the event.

I’m not used to having a translator, a body guard, or an entourage. Or seeing billboards of my face around the city. But I had it all in Lima. There was even a police escort to the stadium where I spoke. I delivered part of my presentation in Spanish, which the crowd loved. It was the largest live crowd I’ve ever spoken to, with an estimated 15,000 people in attendance.

After that we went to Cusco, then on to Macchu Picchu.  There’s no way to describe any of Peru. You go from stark poverty to spectacular nature. You go from urban construction to ancient lost cities in the jungle. I loved the Cusco square, where there is lots of shopping.

But I also loved Macchu Picchu, which is breathtaking in scope, history and mystery.

In my travels in Peru I discovered Pisco, the national high-octane brandy that will kick your butt, a hand carved Ram horn that just might awaken the dead (only good spirits) when I blow through it, Peruvian cigars (as well as new Cuban cigars), and copies of my own books in Spanish, such as El Poder de la Attraccion.

My traveling companions, Mark Ryan and Rick Barrett, took hours of film and hundreds of photos. I’ll share them with you soon.

For now, don’t overlook Peru in your travel plans. There’s rich history there and people you will love.

Their secret is out.

Ao Akua,

Joe Vitale

PS – I know the pictures aren’t the clearest (left click on any image to enlarge it) but keep in mind they were all taken with my old Blackberry Curve in Peru. In fact, my Blackberry with AT&T service was the only phone that worked throughout Peru. I was letting my traveling buds use it to call back home, and I used it to Twitter, check email, and even handle customer support from the top of Macchu Picchu. (!)

PPS – Peru has already invited me back. I’m told the country is ready to go beyond the Law of Attraction and learn Zero Limits next. Any country that has Macchu Picchu as a treasure must be open for more secrets. I’m ready to return to Peru on a moment’s notice. We can exchange secrets.  Mi encanta su pais!

Hydrogen Powered Sport Car with Sting

Hydrogen powered cars, or any sports cars with a hydrogen generator, and any new electric cars, are going to make the news. That’s because our current interest is in saving fuel, dropping emissions, and going green. That’s good, but the thing is, people aren’t thinking this through.

For example, electric cars are of high interest right now. Yet batteries are made by digging into the earth, shipping ore overseas, making product in other countries, shipping it back, and then dealing with environmental issues when you are done and have to dump the dead batteries someplace.

They also aren’t reliable, are very expensive, and weigh a ton. Driving an electric is even potentially dangerous, as you can’t hear them. A friend saw the Tesla all-electric sports car being driven and said it was the fastest golf cart ever.

I love that people are looking for solutions, but electric cars aren’t there yet. A better and more immediate remedy is a hydrogen-gas hybrid. While hydrogen only cars aren’t practical right now, a hydrogen-gas hybrid car is.

This is a car that has a hydrogen generator right under the hood. No need to fill up with hydrogen. Just start the car and it starts making hydrogen fuel. In this way you can save gas, save the environment, bring emissions down to almost zero, stay safe and even look cool, too.

Who has such a dream car?

Well, I will, soon. But right now the company building it is Ronn Motors outside of Austin, Texas. They invented the coolest super green sports car on the planet called The Scorpion. That’s it in the picture with me. (Photo by Brian Fitzsimmons.)

But this is actually a story about the Law of Attraction more than it is a story about green cars.

Ronn Maxwell, the company founder, attracted the idea for the car one night over dinner.  He knew the problems with electrics, the need for something now with near-zero emissions, etc. He opened his mind, received what I’ll call Divine Inspiration, and then took action.

Within a few months he built the prototype.  Shortly after that he was on and in national magazines, showing the car at automobile shows, debuting it last November at SEMA in Las Vegas, and having celebrities place orders for it. I placed an order on the spot and will have the third car they make, due any day now.

Discovery Channel television will air a special on the Scorpion in October. You’ll be able to see me in it driving the car at record speed on an airport runway while I hooped and hollered and loved it. I’ve driven millions of dollars worth of sports cars but the Scorpion stands head and shoulders above them all. It’s fast, cool, and green. I’ve never seen or driven anything like it before, and I have a cool car collection.

But Ronn Motors isn’t focused on making Scorpions and selling them. Instead, their car is a head turner to get you to ask what’s under the hood. When you do, they tell you about their H2GO tm system – a system that can be placed on the engine of virtually any car, making it a hydrogen-gas hybrid on the spot. That’s what they want to sell.

Again, you can attract anything you want when you focus on manifesting from the inside out. There are no limits – not even when it comes to solving environmental challenges like creating a car that is earth friendly yet oh so cool to drive.

Ao Akua,

joe

PS — If you’re interested in hydrogen powered cars, an on-board hydrogen generator inside cars, or green sports cars, go see The Scorpion. The company is also on the stock exchange (symbol RNNM). If I were you, I’d invest in them.

The Secret Book

Many people don’t know The Secret book came after The Secret movie.  Doesn’t matter to me how anyone learns about the law of attraction (LOA), but I’d prefer that people really learn it. All the book or movie does is introduce LOA to you. That’s it. There’s much more to the topic.

For example, people are still confused when they think they are using LOA but don’t get the results they want. Truth is, LOA is bringing them exactly what they think — but not consciously. It all happens un-consciously.

If you’ve been studying psychology or neuroscience, or read my book Zero Limits, you already know the unconscious mind is driving us. In many ways, we’re just puppets. Our conscious mind thinks it’s pulling the strings. Nope. That’s how we deceive ourselves.

Take money.

Many people don’t yet realize they are experiencing lack because of their hidden beliefs about money. Thinking money is evil, or bad, or that rich people are greedy or corrupt, is not only the very reason you attract scarcity, it’s also why you don’t even realize your beliefs are the actual problem.

I’ve been doing my best to awaken people to the good you can do when you have money. I’m able to help myself and others, contribute to causes I believe in, give away money to complete strangers, and even start movements of my own — all because I cleaned up my unconscious beliefs about money.

When you get right down to it, money is spiritual. There’s no reason it can’t be seen as pure energy except for our attitudes about it. We project so much negativity onto money and never see it’s actually a tool for good. No wonder so many can’t attract money. Deep down they don’t really want it. After all, if you think it’s evil or bad, would you really want it in your life?

I talk about all of this and more in my bestselling course, The Secret to Attracting Money. If you want to learn a spiritual and yet practical approach to attracting money, check out that audio program.

And if you want hands-on coaching to help you through the maze of beliefs operating your life, consider my new and improved Joe Vitale’s Miracles Coaching. It’s the number one best way to get results fast.

Meanwhile, know that what you attract is not due to your conscious mind, but to your un-conscious mind.

Your job is to awaken.

Ao Akua,

Manifesting an Internet Business

Before I tell you how to manifest an Internet business, let me explain something…

I walked into Pat O’Bryan’s Unseminar 6 this past weekend in San Antonio and was treated like Elvis.

People wanted autographs, photos, and hugs, and to give me gifts.

They’re all wonderful people and I enjoyed the attention and love.

But something surprised me.

Some people knew from me from the hit DVD The Secret but didn’t know about my life as a copywriter, Internet marketer, or creator of Hypnotic Marketing and Hypnotic Writing.

Others knew me from my Internet marketing reputation — I wrote one of the first books on Internet marketing way back in 1995, wrote books for the American Marketing Association and American Management Association  and invented such concepts as Hypnotic Selling online — but didn’t know me as a Law of Attraction (LOA) expert or author of such spiritually advanced books as Zero Limits or audios such as The Awakening Course and The Secret to Attracting Money.

This is a reminder that you have to keep marketing, else people won’t know who you are or what you do. You can never stop. Ever.

Since I have a foot in both worlds – the marketing and the spiritual – I call myself a “Spiritual Marketer.” That was the title of the little book that I revised and updated and saw become a bestseller (six times), now called The Attractor Factor (Second Edition).

It was that book that got me into the movie The Secret, and then on Larry King Live (twice), Donny Deutsch’s TV show The Big Idea, and into numerous other movies (The Compass, The Opus, Leap!, Beyond Belief, Try It On Everything, etc.) and on many more national TV shows. Even Oprah aired a clip of me on one of her shows.

Having said all this, some people (according to Google) wonder how to manifest an Internet business using LOA principles.  I’m the guy to tell you how to do just that, since I know about LOA as well as marketing. Here are the basic steps:

1. Choose your outcome.

What’s the end result you want to experience. How much money do you want to make? What kind of lifestyle can you see yourself having? Script out your life the way you want it to be. This is where you kick in the Law of Attraction by stating a goal that will direct your thoughts, energies and actions. It begins with a target. You set it.

2. Find a market to passion match.

In other words, you may have an interest in playing golf or performing magic. Do keyword searches on Google to find out what people are looking for in those areas. Then create an information product based on your passion and their search. This doesn’t have to be difficult. Jim Edwards and I have a bestselling e-book on How to Write an E-Book in 7 Days that has helped hundreds if not thousands of people create their first info-product.

3. Market your product to that audience.

You’ll need a website, a direct response sales letter, and some traffic generating methods. You should read my books on all of this, from Hypnotic Writing and Buying Trances to The E-Code. Also read, There’s a Customer Born Every Minute. (Go to Amazon and search “Joe Vitale” to see all my titles. You may be surprised.)

There’s much more to the above steps, of course. That’s why I have so many books, audios, DVDs and courses  on marketing, copywriting, the Law of Attraction, and more.  I also have coaching programs to help you learn all of this faster and easier than ever before.

But one thing to keep in mind is this:

If you have hidden beliefs (what I call counter-intentions) inside yourself about money, success or deservingness, you will self-sabotage your own efforts to succeed.

I spoke about this for almost two hours at Pat O’Bryan’s recent event. I was very fiery, blunt, and in-depth about this. It was my tough love approach to shaking people up. I was relentless. (Pat said he had never seen me so “edgy” before.)

I pointed out that you (yes, you) have limiting beliefs about money and success in you that are causing you to struggle. I also said you may need a coach to help you get out of the maze, because the most powerful limiting beliefs are largely unconscious. You don’t even know they’re there. And here’s the secret almost nobody knows:

You tend to attract what you un-consciously believe and expect, not what you consciously think or intend.

I still use a coach today because this is so essential to success. In short, you have to “get clear” of those counter-intentions in your unconscious mind before you can attract what you consciously say you want. Else you’ll chase your own tail forever.

Manifesting an Internet business is the same as attracting a new car or anything else. You work from the inside out. You get clear and you take action. When you do, you can–

Expect Miracles.

“Zero Limits Answers”

 Here’s a win-win-win you’ll love –

I’ve written a brand new Special Report called “Zero Limits Answers.” It answers the 10 most popular questions I get about Zero Limits and cleaning. It’s short but in-depth. It answers such questions as –

* “I noticed that the order of the phrases are never the same. I’m afraid that I will do this wrong and that my misunderstanding of the process will adversely affect the outcome. What’s the truth?”

* “When I’m cleaning, who do I say it to? Me? The other person I’m cleaning on? I’m  confused.”

* “When I have a problem, and I do the cleaning, do I focus on the problem or the person while I’m cleaning?”

* “Do I have to clean forever and ever for as long as I live? That seems tiring and an awful lot of work. Is there another way?”

* “If all I need are the 4 phrases, then what’s up with all these ho’oponopono products that people sell and profit from?”

* “I am sorry!”? Does this mean apology or sadness? What do I have to be sorry for when everything in the Universe is perfect? I don’t like having to say it.”

There are other challenging questions in “Zero Limits Answers” — all answered by me personally.  (I’m the coauthor of the bestselling book, “Zero Limits,” and I’ve held three Zero Limits seminars with my coauthor, Dr. Hew Len.)

All of the money for the report goes to the non-profit organization I support called Move the Mountain. They teach people how to get out of poverty.

Remember, I don’t make a dime here. ALL of the money goes to the people who need it most.

Here’s the win-win-win:

- You get the Special Report (and surprise bonuses noted on the website).

- People in poverty get help.

- I get to make a difference.

Win-win-win.

Neuro Web Design

Neuroscience is the latest pop-trend in science. No complaints here. I love reading about how your brain can be rewired by your mind (think about that), and how what we thought were limits of the brain are not true at all.

So you can imagine my delight when a neuroscientist applied the latest research to web design.

Susan Weinschenk did just that in her book, Neuro Web Design. I love it. I love it so much I interviewed her for my Hypnotic Gold members.

The interview was in-depth and revealing. I learned why the word FREE is so powerful in marketing, why too many choices eliminate sales, how a website should have only one message, how innocent words on a page (such as love, peace, smile) influence people to take actions later without them knowing it, and how we are virtually totally unconsciously driven.

Susan’s reports about the unconscious mind track with what I wrote about in my book Zero Limits: The conscious mind is barely aware of enough data to get us through the day without walking into walls. The real powerhouse is unconscious. If you want to influence anyone (including yourself), you need to address the un-conscious.

Susan occasionally reviews websites for her blog. In my interview with her, she agreed to review my main site at www.mrfire.com

You can see her seven point analysis at http://whatmakesthemclick.blogspot.com/2009/05/7-ways-mr-fire-can-use-neuro-web-design.html 

Her points are ones anyone with a website should implement.

Buddha’s Money-Making Secret

 I’ve been reading The Diamond Cutter by Geshe Michael Roach. It reveals the ancient Tibetan wisdom of Buddha on managing your business and your life. It could be called the Buddha’s money-making secret.

I’m not a Buddhist (I’m more a Transcendentalist), but I’ve gained insight and value from many of Buddha’s teachings. I enjoy practical metaphysics, which is the take-it-to-the-bank school of philosophy, which led me to picking up books such as The Buddha’s Teachings on Prosperity, and of course The Diamond Cutter.

I’m loving it. The latter ties in to two of my own books, The Attractor Factor and Zero Limits, and even my recent audioprogram, The Secret to Attracting Money.

The Diamond Cutter is a practical and reflective book asking you to look at and change the mental imprints in your brain causing you to attract the results you have in your life.  This includes whether you have money or not.

Mental imprints are being planted right now, at the rate of sixty-five per second. They are the “thought forms” in your mind that cause you to perceive the reality you get. They are the “perceptions” you created in earlier situations which are causing you to recreate similar situations.

Think about this:

When you look at a situation, you perceive it through a mental imprint.  More than that, the mental imprint brought it to you.

Going even further, you’re creating new mental imprints right now, as you read this.

If you’re reading this feeling love, a future moment will have you being loved.

If you’re reading this with judgment, a future moment will have you being judged.

And so it goes.

Talk about karma.

In short, you rarely ever experience objective reality. Each moment is not only colored by the past, but brought to you by the past.

As you might imagine, if you don’t observe and change the mental imprints you are creating (sixty-five per second, remember), you’ll just be knocked around by your own mind and you’ll blame it all on luck or fate or other people.

And don’t be so smug to think you’re above all this.

The next time you’re about to complain about lack of sales, or a bad economy or market, or a troublesome employee or customer or client or friend or loved one, stop and consider that a previous mental imprint brought the situation to you and you are right then and there creating a new mental imprint that will cause you to attract more of the same situation.

Re-read that!

It’s not the situations that cause you problems, it’s the mental imprints.

While the author doesn’t use the phrase “Law of Attraction,” I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that’s what his book is about. In short, your mind is creating your results. Change your mind, change your results.

But how do you change your mental imprints, especially when you have a storehouse of them and you are creating sixty-five new ones per second?

A clue is given in Roach’s book:

“Money itself is created by maintaining a generous state of mind.”

I just pulled that line at random out of the book. There’s more to the story and the remedy, but at heart the answer is the same: look at every moment with love, forgiveness and generosity. When you do, you begin to create new mental imprints to begin to bring about new realities.

For example, most people who hear the mainstream news reporting on a failing economy, fall into fear. They then act from fear and close off their actions, which causes them to shut down avenues to their own success. They are coming from a mental imprint that is based on fear. The result is more things to fear. And no money.

A more enlightened approach is to hear the same news but consciously respond with love, forgiveness and generosity. Instead of stopping their actions, they maintain them; instead of stopping their spending or their development, they maintain it; instead of stopping their giving, they maintain it or even increase it. The result is wealth. And lots of money.

The person who comes from a fear mental imprint will create a future of more fear-based mental imprints.

The person who comes from a prosperous mental imprint will create a future of more prosperous-based mental imprints.

Do you see how this works?

Your past thoughts, unconscious or not, brought about your current situation. Unless you change those thoughts as they are happening right now, you can predict your own future: the same as the past.

If you’re ready for a change, ask yourself what you’re feeling about this moment — yes, this one right now.

Personally I think just repeating the Zero Limits‘ mantra (I love you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, thank you) non-stop can clean up those mental imprints. But I’m no Buddha. Do what you feel inspired to do.  

But do something.

I created The Secret to Attracting Money program to help you clear those programs, beliefs, thought forms and mental imprints that are causing you to have problems with money.

Until you get clear of the mental programs, you will keep getting the same or similiar circumstances. You’ll say “Those lawyers are all the same,” or “Those construction companies are all the same” or “Those politicians are all the same,” or “Men are all the same” or “Women are all the same,” when in reality the only thing the same is you.

Roach’s The Diamond Cutter goes into all of this thinking with great depth and great writing. I’m loving it and I encourage you to read it. The book is in book stores and of course at Amazon. The author’s site is www.enlightenedbusiness.com

Remember, mental imprints are running your life. You can change them - with awareness, intent and work.

What do you want this moment’s mental imprint to be?

Choose.

Spotting Pool Leaks

A few months ago the pool started losing water. Obviously there was a leak, but I couldn’t find it. Neither could anyone else. We all walked around the pool, looking for any obvious signs of holes or leakage, but nothing. I walked around inside the pool, too. Couldn’t find a thing. But the water kept leaving anyway. It wasn’t an emergency or even a priority, so I let it slide.

Now that the weather here in Texas is getting warmer, thoughts of the Summer come to mind. I couldn’t put off getting the pool fixed any longer. I’m going to want to be in it one day very soon.

So I called the pool company that installed it. They suggested I first hire a man who could possibly spot the hole causing the leak. I thought that was a long shot, since I and so many others had already studied the pool. But I made the call anyway.

Ramone came out the day after my call. He was talkative and friendly. Told me all about his online graffiti interests, how he writes reports on belief systems, how he used to run a pool company, and how he just hunts for pool leaks on the side for fun and profit. Fascinating guy.

Within ten minutes he announced he found the leak. I was stunned. I couldn’t believe it. I asked him to show me.

He got in the pool, which had to be freezing compared to the warm Texas air, and pointed to the tiniest of slits on the bottom of the pool. It wasn’t even on the side of the pool all of us guessed it might be. And it looked like a leaf, not a leak. I shook my head in disbelief.

Ramone then went about repairing the leak. I was still in shock. I asked him to look around the pool even more, as I thought maybe he actually missed the real leak. I couldn’t believe the tiny slit he found was the reason I lost thousands of gallons of water.

He couldn’t find another leak, I paid him, and he left. The next day I put water back in the pool. Sure enough, it’s holding just fine. Ramone had found and repaired the leak.

Here’s the lesson:

When your brain is trained to see specific things, your eyes will spot them easily.

In other words, Ramone’s experience had wired his brain to be on alert for pool leaks. He could see them when you and I could not. You and I aren’t trained to spot leaks.

But this is how you and I walk through life.

We see what we have experience in seeing. We don’t see what we don’t have experience in seeing.

Simple enough, right?

So how do you awaken your brain to see what has been there all along?

When I was learning marketing decades ago, I listened to Dan Kennedy, Jay Abraham, and others. I read the classics by John Caples, David Ogilvy, Bob Bly, and more. I trained my mind to see what it hadn’t been trained to see or do.

Today I can see business opportunities when before I could not. Today I can’t stop myself from seeing them, any more than Ramone can stop himself from finding a pool leak. It’s now natural.

To “turn on” your brain, you need to have intention and take action. The intention is to accomplish something; the action is to train yourself to see what’s actually obvious.

How do you turn on your brain?

1. Read. This has been the #1 key to my success. Read biographies, business books, psychology books and more. Read “The Power of Impossible Thinking” by Jerry Wind and Colin Crook, read “Why We Make Mistakes” by Joseph Hallinan, and read “Iconoclast: A Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently” by Gregory Berns.

2. Listen. Use your travel, exercise and relaxing time to listen to audios that will expand your mind. Buy what interests you at www.nightingale.com (I have three audioprograms there: “The Secret to Attracting Money”, “The Missing Secret”, and “The Power of Outrageous Marketing”.)

3.  Train. Get coaching. I’m a big believer in having a mentor.  I have two coaching programs right now. Depending on your interests and intentions, one or both could help you awaken your brain. (See www.miraclescoaching.com or www.joevitalementoring.com) 

Final example: 

I’m about to go to Peru and speak in a stadium to 35,000 people about the Law of Attraction. I intend to learn conversational Spanish for the trip. To do so, I’m reading books, listening to audios, and looking for a tutor. This is all part of training my brain to do something it hasn’t done before (or at least not since High School Spanish in 1970).

Magic and miracles, money and more, are at hand. It’s simply a matter of “spotting pool leaks.”

Contesting: The Helene Hadsell Story

 Decades ago Helene Hadsell wrote Contesting: The Name It and Claim It Game, the best book ever written on using mind power to win contests and get lucky. 

That book changed my life, as well as the lives of about 3,000,000 others. Unfortunately, the book went out of print and Helene dropped from the spotlight.

But I found Helene in 2007, talked to her, and wrote about her here on my blog. My post caused Helene to sell-out of the few remaining copies of her famous book, get bombarded with about 1,000 emails, and have to hire her kids to help run her now exploding business.

Helene didn’t stop working, or writing, or anything else, though. She’s 84-years old and as alive as a teenager drinking too much Mountain Dew.

Her recent adventure was to permit herself to be filmed, and interviewed, for a giant course on her 4-step secret for winning contests and attracting health and wealth. It’s called The Winning Sage. It’s at www.thewinningsage.com/?m=49c0e2f990cd8

Helene is fascinating. She personally knew many of the great teachers of the New Thought Movement, from prolific prosperity author Joseph The Power of Your Subconscious Mind Murphy to Silva Mind Control creator Jose Silva to the mystical founder of Eckanker, Paul Twitchell.

Helene is delightfully fearless. She calls it the way she sees it, even if what she sees is invisible.

She told me I was a monk in a past life who spent too much time “monking” around.

I guess that meant I got tired of being celibate.

She says we knew each other then.

Hmmmmmm.

Anyway, back to the real world…

The Winning Sage includes Helene’s famous book, Contesting (this alone is priceless), as well as a great deal of information about her you’ll not find anywhere else (including a documentary about her).

For me, this is the most exciting course I’ve seen in maybe decades on how to get lucky, use your mind, implement the Law of Attraction, and much more. It’s incredible.

Plus, Helene is a real live wire - a complete joy to watch, read, and listen to.

Think Smart

 On a recent trip I picked up a handful of “healthy snacks” that had misleading names on them. One was called Think Green and the other Think Organic. The thing is, having the words “green” and “organic” on the label doesn’t mean the product is green or organic.  It’s clever word misdirection.  Calling a car lease a Smart Lease doesn’t mean it’s actually smart. Eating a product labelled Think Thin doesn’t mean it will make you thin. Just a word to the wise. Watch how words are used. Think smart.

The Dice Man

 Some books dig into your brain and lodge themselves there, even if you finished them decades ago. The Dice Man is such a book.

I read it in high school in the early 1970s. The memory is still with me. I still have the paperback book, too. It’s an unforgettable novel about a man who learns to make every decision by rolling dice. 

It’s an addictive read. It’s at times hilarious, at other times disturbing.

Inspired by the book, I remember rolling dice for high school decisions. It was liberating, but also dangerous. If you didn’t balance the roll of the dice with critical thinking, you could end up in trouble, as the book’s character reveals.

The Dice Man became a cult classic. It’s still an underground bestseller. One day there will be a movie of it. First editions of the book are nearly impossible to find.

So imagine my surprise when I roamed around a used book store and discovered a first edition hardcover signed by the author to his wife.

I instantly bought it, of course. I was so excited that I was tingling the rest of the day.

In that same book store I found a signed copy of Think and Grow Rich, the book that has made more millionaires than any other.

Napoleon Hill’s signature is worth gold, and I eagerly paid for the signed volume. It’s going in a locked glass display case with my other prized autographed books, such as ones by Neville Goddard, P.T. Barnum, Edward L. Bernays and of course Luke Rhinehart, the author of The Dice Man.

The author of The Dice Man also wrote one of the top five most life changing books of all time: The Book of est. I think it’s the greatest self-help book ever written.

The Book of est is even harder to find. Even the author doesn’t have copies. It’s a fictionalized account of the famous “est” training of the 1970s, created by Werner Erhard, and it’s one of the most hypnotic books ever written. I love it.

Last year Mark Ryan and I released it, with the author’s consent, as an e-book. You can get it at www.bookofest.com (In a week or so you’ll be able to order printed copies of the book from the same site.)

Some day we may get to re-publish The Dice Man, too.

We’ll just have to see what the dice roll…

Ao Akua,

PS - The bookseller who sold The Dice Man to me was so influenced by the book that he carries dice in his pocket. He pulled them out and showed me. He said he makes decisions with the roll of the dice. I can only imagine he lets the dice advise him and not control him. At least I hope that’s the case.

Note: I know you may be curious, so here are the facts. I found the autographed books at Sam Wellers Bookstore. The list price for the signed Hill volume was $1,000; the signed Dice Man book was listed at $500. My rule of thumb is to reward myself after accomplishing goals. Since I had just recorded 17 audios and 5 videos the two days before, buying the rare books was an easy decision. I didn’t even need to roll the dice.
