Zeno's Revealing Graph


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,

Joe

The Empty Box

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.

Ao Akua,

Smokin' Joe
www.mrfire.com

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.

The Credibility Factor

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.

A Truly Addictive Ad



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.

Ao Akua,

My First Sixty Years In Advertising


The great media prankster Alan Abel just sent me a signed first edition of one of the greatest advertising books ever written: My First Sixty Years in Advertising by the late genius Maxwell Sackheim.

Since I have a giant collection of books on marketing and advertising, I already have a copy of this classic. But I didn't have a first edition, nor a signed one.

I do now.

Anyone who wants to excel online or off needs to study the masters. These include such giants as John Caples, Robert Collier, Helen Woodward, Victor O. Schwab, Bruce Barton and of course Maxwell Sackheim.

Sackheim was a creative thinker who invented many successful advertising concepts in direct response advertising history, many still used today.

Two of his best known programs are the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Negative Option Plan.

His most famous book is the one Alan gave me, but with the revised title, My First Sixty-Five Years in Advertising.

If you haven't read the early bibles by legends like Sackheim, you have no business trying to master the art of persuasion today.

You have to learn the alphabet before you can master writing; you have to learn the thinking of our founding fathers (and sisters) of persuasion in order to write like them or possibly surpass their achievements.

Get busy.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Future News Today

This news release will hit the wire services on Tuesday. Since you're an avid reader of my blog, I thought you would like to see the news before it happens. Here you go...

Subliminal Messages Mix with Pioneering Internet Marketing Strategy in New $1,000 Contest

Subliminal messages add zest to a common Internet marketing strategy; entrant to unusual art contest who finds the most “secret messages” in a painting wins $1,000 in prizes.

Austin, TX (PRWeb) November 27, 2006 -- A new and unusual art contest that blends subliminal messages with Internet marketing strategy was launched today by Dr. Joe Vitale.

Vitale is an Internet marketer and bestselling author who starred in the movie “The Secret” and recently appeared on “Larry King Live.”

Dr. Vitale’s latest contest offers $1,000 in prizes to anyone who can find the most of subliminal messages in an original painting posted on his website, www.mrfire.com/contest

"Subliminals are words and symbols that your conscious mind doesn't immediately pick up but your subconscious does," explained Dr. Vitale, author of “Hypnotic Writing,” “The Attractor Factor,” “Life's Missing Instruction Manual,” and numerous other books.

A friend commissioned the original work of art for Dr. Vitale, complete with subliminals. Dr. Vitale loved the painting and found the hidden images extremely difficult to find, so he decided to turn the work of art into a contest.

"This is like the famous 'what's wrong with this picture' cartoons we've all seen," explained Vitale. "This is a more intelligent way of engaging people. The contest itself contains a ‘secret message’ -- it is also an Internet marketing strategy.”

The subliminal messages contest is yet another pioneering Internet marketing strategy designed to build Dr. Vitale's email list, as the winner will need to be a subscriber at www.mrfire.com to qualify to win the $1,000 in books, audios and DVDs from Dr. Vitale. The winner will be announced on January 11, 2007.

The contests rules and instructions are explained at http://www.mrfire.com/contest/

The New Secret

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.

A New Holiday Trend

So far no one has called me to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving holiday.

No emails, either.

Instead, I've been receiving text messages on my phone.

The first came from singer Michelle Malone.

I was surprised, but then another came from someone else.

I'm wondering if this is a new trend. I like the speed and convenience of a text message. But I miss the personal touch of a human voice.

I think I'll call a friend or two right now.

The Problem with Intention


I don't think intention is anywhere near as important as inspiration.

Intention is a toy of the mind; inspiration is a directive from the Divine.

The goal is to listen and act, not beg and wait.

Most people who set intentions are like children sitting on Santa's knee. They are asking, pleading and often crying to get what they want.

The Divine (Universe) will give you what you want if you ask for it with detachment and love, and you're in alignment to receive it.

But what I've found to be far more powerful is to receive inspiration and act on that.

Rather than trying to control the Divine, you are surrendering to It.

When you do, miracles happen.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS - The above picture is of a mansion for sale in San Clemente, California. I've been thinking about it for months. I haven't declared an intention to buy it. Instead, I feel inspired to look into it. I'm finally giving in to the inspiration. Let's see what happens next...

PPS - Happy Thanksgiving!

PPPS - If you're curious about the Panoz Automotive Company, who built my beautiful redhead Francine, the Travel Channel on TV is doing a special documentary on them tomorrow at 12:30 PM Central. Check local listings for more information.

Gimme-a-break! Is manifesting easy?

One person posted a strong objection to my last blog entry, on Warp-Speed Manifesting.

He pointed out that it didn't "just happen" that I manifested Francine, my Panoz car.

He also said I couldn't manifest a "private island" with a snap of my fingers.

He also said I couldn't "just buy" a Bugatti Veyron.

Well, let's look at all that.

First, I wrote a blog entry, not the definitive guide on how to manifest cars.

There was one main point to the entry, and that was when you are clear of counter-intentions, you can more quickly attract the things you want. You may have little or nothing to do, or you may have a lot to do. The point is, it will happen quicker when you are clear. It won't seem like work at all then, either.

Second, manifesting has little to do with money.

Money is one way and one thing you can trade for what you want. But it's not the only way.

You could win a car. (That's how the original owner of Francine got her.)

Or have one given to you. (It's happened to me.)

Yes, you can buy a car, too, but not easily if it's a hand-made exotic luxury sports car like Francine and there's only 300 in the entire world!

Getting Francine was in fact easy. When I wrote I "didn't try", I put the words in quotes to suggest I took some action but not with any effort.

It was indeed a snap.

As for the Bugatti, if I wanted one, and if one were available, I'd buy it.

I'd pay cash, too.

Simple as that.

Truth is, I don't want one. After all, that $1.2 million street rocket can burn an entire tank of gas in under twelve minutes!

Do you really think I want something like that?

As for manifesting a private island, I'm doing that next.

I announced it at the last Beyond Manifestation event.

I said I was going to create Manifestation Island.

Instantly I had several people want to be investors.

I now have an artist creating the map for it.

I also have a wealthy investor as a lead for funds.

It's happening.

But note: I'm not making it happen.

I'm not struggling.

I'm "doing" but without effort.

These are all more clues to the manifestation process.

Again, this is a blog post. I'm not trying to write the complete guide to creating your own reality. For that, watch the movie The Secret and read my book The Attractor Factor. And get my program Attract a New Car.

Finally, if all of this still sticks in your craw, consider why you are fighting with it.

Perhaps you still think life has to be hard?

Perhaps you want it to be?

Joe

Warp-Speed Manifesting


On October 1st I posted a blog entry here on how to increase your wealth.

I urged you to get comfortable with greater amounts of income by pretending you were already rich and could do whatever you wanted.

I ended it with a PPS that explained I was stretching my own "wealth limits" by toying with the idea of buying a Panoz exotic sports car.

I didn't need another new car.

I was just playing touch and go with the idea.

It was fun.

But on October 7th I posted a blog entry here describing the story of Francine - my new Panoz car!

I manifested that car in less than one week.

I didn't try.

It just "happened."

I think there's a major lesson here.

When you don't have any inner blocks to your goals, they happen pretty fast.

When you have a spirit of fun about your goals - no addictions, attachments or desperation about them - they happen even faster.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Or go to http://www.mrfire.com/ and click on the "Article Database" link on the left.

If you want to order a DVD of the show, call 800-CNN-NEWS or just go to www.fdch.com

A lot of people are asking if they can still take me up on the offer to get 25 copies of my book, The Attractor Factor, in paperback, to receive a ticket to attend a private tele-seminar with me in 2007.

You bet.

I extended the deadline to December 1, 2006.

Just get 25 books of The Attractor Factor from any online or off-line store and forward your receipt to suzanneburns@austin.rr.com or FAX it to 512 847 0529.

I'll announce the private tele-seminar in 2007. You'll be able to ask me questions, and I'll record it so you won't miss anything.

Some people ask me questions about Larry King, such as --

What's in those cups on the table in front of you?

I asked for a cup with something in it. We all got water. It tasted divine to me.

Was anything edited?

Yes. Jack Canfield told a story that was taken out, and so did I. I'm sure they edited it for time and not because of content.

What's Larry King like in person?

Pretty much the same as you see him. He's street-smart, direct, inquisitive, and friendly. I liked him.

Where were your beads?

I forgot to bring them. I wore them in the movie The Secret and now everyone expects me to wear them all the time. Well, I'm listening. I'm wearing them right now.

I'll post more "behind the scenes" stories later...

Blond Ghost Stories

While much of the world watched me on Larry King Live last night, I was in my BMW 645ci with my friend Mark Ryan.

We were driving to Blanco, Texas, where I gave a talk to a Lions Club over chicken fried steak and green beans soaked in bacon fat (I didn't eat any).

On the way, we discussed what I might talk about to the group.

Mark asked me if I knew any blond ghost stories.

I thought that was an odd question, but I figured he was distracting me from my talk and my excitement over the Larry King appearance. So I played along.

"Not really," I replied. "I had a dream once that Marilyn Monroe came to see me. But she was dead. Turns out I wasn't dreaming and she wasn't dead, so it got confusing."

I was making it up, of course. I was just trying to come up with a blond ghost story to answer Mark's question.

But that's not what he asked me.

Turns out he actually asked me if I knew any Blanco stories.

Oh.

Listening is important.

Ao Akua,

Joe
www.mrfire.com

PS - I didn't see the Larry King show until very late last night. From what I can gather from all the calls, emails and book sales I'm seeing, I must have done ok. Thank you for your support.

PPS - Some people now want me to run for political office. That's baffling. Do you really want someone leading people who hears "Blanco stories" as "Blond Ghost Stories"?

I Want This for Christmas, Thank You


Good lord I haven't seen a car this stunning, sexy, or space age since I first laid eyes on Francine, my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM.

This is a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and it's probably faster than early NASA rockets.

I have no idea where someone would drive, aim, or park one of these, but lordy, I want one.

The car can go 253 m.p.h., o to 60 in 2.3 seconds, and has 1,0001 horsepower.

I'm sorry, Francince, but I think this Veyron would leave you in the dust.

The Bugatti website is amazing. It's interactive, colorful and mesmerizing; with more choices than I've ever seen for making your own dream car-rocket.

Volkswagon is making 300 of these $1.2 million dollar each babies and they know they won't make a profit. Each car will cost the company about $5 million to create. But that won't stop Volkswagon. They want to make a statement.

I'm constantly in awe at what the human mind can create, when it thinks like a non-human.

Subliminal Art or, Way Beyond "Beyond Manifestation"


Whew!

Words can't describe the amazing experience we 50 spiritual adventurers had this past weekend at Beyond Manifestation II.

We went behind words, thoughts, and deeds and right into an awakening.

I began it with a shocking revelation - one I never even planned to cover.

But there it was.

That alone caused many people to achieve satori and break into tears.

At the end, my dear friend Mark Ryan gave me a stunning piece of original art that he commissioned as a gift for me.

It's packed with subliminal messages. I've never seen so many people gather around a painting and stare at it, study it, and remain hypnotized by it.

I'll post an image of the painting later on www.mrfire.com or maybe here on my blog, but you can see people admiring it in the above picture.

The weekend was a lot like the painting:

On the surface you saw the obvious -- people, colors, movement -- but behind the obvious were hidden messages you could see when you relaxed your focus and allowed them in.

Way cool.

Ao Akua,

Breaking My Silence

Every single day for the past 6 months I have received at least a dozen emails from people, (sometimes quite irate!) asking me the same exact question:

"Why can't I buy any of your Hypnotic Marketing products???"

Today, I'm breaking my silence and revealing the surprise answer why everything - and I do mean EVERYTHING I've ever published on Hypnotic Marketing, selling, and writing -- has been OFF THE MARKET for the majority of 2006.

(Yes, all 19 products.)

This is going to shake things up a bit.

Hint: It has to do with an important announcement the night I appear on Larry King Live on CNN this coming Thursday (the 16th), and my need to control access to some very powerful information during an important transition in my career.

PS - I'm headed out in a few hours to teach the next Beyond Manifestation weekend, but Francine won't be with me. She refuses to start. Looks like the anti-theft system went wacko and I can't turn her on. I'm not taking it personally but I am disappointed. All I can guess is that she was afraid of being stolen at the event, so she's in armed mode and she refuses to budge from the house. I tried reasoning with her but there's no arguing with a flaming redhead who's made up her mind.

How to Win the Lotto

A lot of people say they use the steps in my book, The Attractor Factor, to win the lotto. I don't think it's the best use of your time, because you're trying to control how money comes to you, but it's certainly one way to receive money.

The Psychology of Selling, or, The Website that Talks

The Psychology of Selling is an audio program I used to listen to repeatedly years ago. It's by the prolific Brian Tracy.

I got to meet Brian last Thursday in Florida, at the AWAI convention. I was the kick-off speaker and he spoke after me later that morning.

After my talk, he came up and hugged me. What a nice guy! I instantly liked him.

I'm still reeling from being on the same stage as him. He's a sales legend.

If you've never heard any of his programs, go get one right now. His website is PACKED with products, all super.

And watch what happens when you visit his site: Brian himself walks "on stage" and starts talking to you!

An amazing guy.

Amazing New "Anti-Gravity" Shoes Make You Look Two Inches Taller AND Help You Lose Weight, or, A Riveting Example of Hypnotic Writing


I love gadgets and I love hypnotic writing.

I received a copy of Gadget Universe's catalog, thumbed through it, and was stun-gunned when I got to the two page spread about the new anti-gravity shoes called Gravity Defyers.

It's a perfect example of Hypnotic Writing.

I read and re-read the two-page ad. I loved it. The copywriter didn't miss a trick. He (or she) has the facts, the benefits, the research, the references to feeling more confident and looking taller, and the emotional hot buttons of looking like a sexy spy or a distinguished gentleman, all woven into some smoothly written copy.

It even suggests the shoes can help you lose weight (because you'll want to be more active wearing them).

The snail mail catalog looks and reads better than the online copy, but you can get a sense of what I'm talking about at www.gadgetuniverse.com/product_detail.asp?SKU=TB+316+B11

One day I may write or record a special report focused on just this ad.

It's that good.

Study it.

Ao Akua,

Joe
www.mrfire.com

PS - I loved the hypnotic copy so much, I went online and ordered the shoes. That's the sign of a good ad. It made me buy. My only complaint is that the shoes aren't in stock for instant delivery. I want them now.

Reminder: The second Larry King Live show on how to change your life by changing your mind will air Nov 16. I'm on it. It airs on CNN. It also airs on CNN International. See www.cnn.com/larryking Tell the world.

How Long Can You Live?

On my last few trips I've been picked up in limos.

All of them were Lincoln Town Cars.

I was amazed to learn that one of them had 223,000 miles on it.

It looked new.

The driver said they can last 500,000 miles as long as you change the oil every 3,000 miles.

I had no idea they could last so long and still look brand new.

It made me wonder how long we as humans could last if we took care of ourselves.

Ao Akua,

PS - I have no plans to get a Lincoln Town Car -- Francine wouldn't stand for it -- but if you're interested in them, see www.lincoln.com/towncar/home.asp

Just ReDiscovered - "The Emergency Handbook for Getting Money FAST!"

The Emergency Handbook For Getting Money FAST! is a book I love and endorsed in my own book, The Attractor Factor.

Well, I just heard from the author, Carole Dore, and her book is still available direct from her.

I strongly encourage you to get it. It's not only a book, it's a work of art; and it's not only great reading, but it will cause an awakeneing within you.

How to Drive Rich Money Right Into Your Hands


While traveling a few days ago I spotted the magazine Exotic Car Buyers Guide 2007, published by Dupont Registry.

Since Francine wasn't looking, I bought it.

My Panoz was listed, of course. The write-up for it said the Panoz race car beat Porsches, Ferraris, and Spykers in the endurance races called Le Mans 24-hour and the Sebring 12-hour.

Francine would be so proud.

I thumbed through the magazine and found some exciting looking cars.

There's the Pagani Zonda F Roadster. And the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. Both look more like street rockets than street hot rods.

But the car that really brought out the James Bond in me was the Gibbs Aquada, which is a car you can jet ski with. The wheels go up when you hit water and come down when you hit the pavement. Sir Richard Branson drove one in 2004 across the English Channel. And broke a speed record with it.

When we move to Maui, I might want a Gibbs Aquada.

I'm a little surprised the new Saturn Sky isn't listed in the magazine, nor the all-electric Tesla Roadster. But all things considered, they may have been left in the dugout because they don't cost enough.

In all the cars I admired in the issue, they were all well over $100,000 and some went for a million dollars - or more.

You have to wonder, who buys these cars?

Well, the rich do.

And sometimes the wannabe rich do.

But the marketing lesson here is that we live in an abundant country and in an abundant time and an abundance of people are spending a staggering amount of money to have something no one else has, or to experience something few others do.

You can cater to these people and they will make you very, very wealthy.

You simply have to start thinking bigger.

Or start charging more.

Ao Akua,

Joe
www.mrfire.com

PS - If you need help in thinking bigger, consider my new Miracles Coaching program.

PPS - Two seats just opened for next weekend's Beyond Manifestation event. It will be held in Austin, Texas. If you're interested, see www.BeyondManifestation.com and write my assistant, Suzanne, at suzanneburns@austin.rr.com

PPPS - Before my recent talk at AWAI in Florida, a fellow came up to me, said he read this blog all the time, and wanted a copy of my book on P.T. Barnum, There's A Customer Born Every Minute. He said he wanted to read it on his honeymoon. I didn't have the heart to ask what his bride was going to read.

Nancy Laine just did a complete numerology report on me.

You can see it featured here:

It's actually posted in two places:

1) In the blue bar on the left (so it'll stay at the top)
