I've learned at least two things about achieving goals: There is an easy way and a hard way.
The hard way is to work night and day, stay obsessed, rarely sleep, and never give up.
Since everyone talks about the hard way, I want to address the easy way. After all, why struggle if you don't have to?
I've used the easy way to create bestselling books, lose 70 pounds in 8 months, find my ideal mate, get healthy, increase my wealth, and much more.
Obviously, it works.
Here's the formula in brief:
1. Be grateful for what you already have.
2. Playfully declare what you would like to have with positive emotion, feeling as if it is already achieved.
3. Act on the nudges and opportunities that appear.
That's it. In my latest book, "The Attractor Factor," I explain a 5-step formula for getting what you want. It's useful for those times when you don't feel grateful, or can't decide on what you want, or don't understand the concept of letting go while taking inspired action. It's also helpful when you have issues about money, or deserving, or feel in any way blocked from your goals.
But the bottom-line for me is this: Declare what you would like with no attachment and plenty of good feeling, feel grateful for what you already have, and act on what appears. The result will be the manifestation of a happy life.
Let's explore this in depth.
1. Feel grateful now.
It doesn't mater where you live or what you have.
If you're reading this, you're most likely living like a king or queen compared to people in third world countries. You may even be living better than kings or queens from history, as they often lived in cold, violent, frightful times. You've got it made.
2. Choose what you want without attachment, feeling as if it is already achieved.
There's magic in saying "Id love to---(fill in the blank) but I won't die if I don't have it." Since the world is simply energy taking form, when you declare you want something, you begin to attract it. But when you say you need something, the need pushes it away. You want to select your desire, and feel the joy of already having it, without feeling any desperation. Need will push it away; Desire will attract it. If you feel as if you *already* have it, then you *will* have it.
3. Act on your opportunities and intuitions.
You may get offers, calls, or who knows what. Act on them. You never know what will lead you to your goal. Your ego cannot see the big picture. Intuition and opportunities will come to you from the larger view, and your job is to act on them. As you do, you will be taken to your goal, even when it appears you are being blocked away. Trust is key.
Is that really all there is to it?
Again, the fuller procedure in "The Attractor Factor" will take care of any snags in the process, but the basic process is simple. Let's walk through it:
1. Look around your room. What are you grateful for? Make a list. Get into the authentic feeling of true gratitude. In other words, be happy now. You don't need a reason to be happy. But if you want one, find something, anything, to be grateful for right now. When you're grateful, you're in a mental place that will attract more to be grateful for.
2. Look around the playground of your mind. What would you like to have, do, or be? What would be fun? Write it down. As you do, feel what it would be like to already have it now. Pretend you won the lotto. What would you want for yourself or others? What would be fun? The key is playful non-attachment while experiencing its completion *now.*
3. Now pay attention. As you go about your life, listen to your hunches and act on them, and pay attention to the opportunities and act on them. You never know what will take you in the direction of your goal. Your job is to take inspired action. You may have some work to do in this step, but the work will be from your heart, and will take you in the direction of getting your goal.
Why not go through the steps right now?
Write them down, experience them, and then check back in a few weeks and see how they are doing. You may surprise yourself by how easily and quickly your goals are achieved.
If you find yourself doubting the process, thinking negative, or in any way not enjoying the simplicity of the easy way to attain your goals, then consider learning the 5 step process in "The Attractor Factor."
Above all, have fun. Keep smiling. Be playful. Stay grateful. These are all elements of the new secret to manifesting your goals.
Remember the words of a famous song that also perfectly summaries this new way to achieve your goals: "Don't worry. Be happy."

The #1 Secret to Selling E-Books Or,How I Found a Cure for Asthma
by Dr. Joe Vitale
www.7dayebook.com
Jim Edwards and I have been laughing all the way to the bank for about three years now. It's good, loud, contagious laughter, too. Even some other people, now e-book authors like us, are laughing and dancing in the streets, as well.
Why, you ask? Why is every day Mardi Gras for us?
Our best-selling e-book, on how to write your own e-book in only 7 days (over at www.7dayebook.com), continues to be a #1 best-seller at Clickbank. Jim and I share nice big checks every two weeks. And many others, now e-book authors, also get nice checks.
I tell you, it's a VERY good feeling.
But not everyone is getting checks for sales of their e-books yet.
In case you are wondering why they aren't making money yet, and we are, let me tell you a secret about selling e-books online:
People easily buy needed information instantly -- if they know about it and are convinced it will work.
Now don't dismiss that secret by saying, "That's obvious, Joe." It isn't obvious. People are writing e-books and then scratching their heads when people don't buy them. They haven't understood this secret.
Let me repeat it:
People easily buy needed information instantly -- if they know about it and are convinced it will work.
Now let me illustrate this secret with an actual case study:
A few months ago I had an asthma attack on a flight from Denver to Las Vegas. I didn't know it was asthma at the time. I just knew my chest hurt and I couldn't breathe. It wasn't until we landed and I spent $5,000 in a Vegas emergency room that I realized I had asthma.
Lucky me. It ruined the trip to party town, for sure.
Back in Texas, I began my quest for a cure. I was told Western medicine doesn't have a cure. They medicate you to regulate you. But cure you? Nope.
I looked into Eastern medicine and began a long series of acupuncture treatments and herbal supplements. This helped me breathe better and feel better -- for about twenty-four hours. Still, no cure.
I then went online and continued my search.
STOP and note this: I went ONLINE looking for something specific. Your customers are doing this, too. They aren't surfing. They are searching. They have a goal, an intention, a need for a solution. Help them.
I used Google, which the majority of people use, for my detective work. I come from a belief that there is always a way to do the impossible. It either exists or it can be created. So with that conviction in mind, I typed in search terms such as "asthma cure" and "asthma relief."
NOTE: Your customers are looking for specific information using key words. Research what key words they may be using at
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/
I was then led to a site promising to cure my asthma in one week. That's a great claim for someone suffering from asthma. See the site at http://cure-your-asthma.com/
Note: How did I get there? I saw a Google ad when I did my Google search. You should be using Google Ads, too, but educate yourself first. See http://www.AdwordsUniversity.com
The site at http://cure-your-asthma.com/ looked good. While I wanted more details and more testimonials, my gut said go with it. I bought the e-book.
Note: I didn't buy a "book." I didn't want a book. I wanted a CURE. I wanted a solution. It didn't matter if this solution was a book, a manual, an audio. I was buying an answer to my problem, and an answer I wanted right NOW. Your customers do this, too. If they can find you,
if your website is convincing, and if you can deliver instantly, you can makes sales, too. Are you starting to sense how this works?
I read the e-book and marveled that it was basically compiled information about a method for curing asthma little known in the US but widely available in New Zealand and Australia. I found this fascinating.
Note: See how easy it is to create an e-book?
You can do the searching and compile the results and then sell the final report.
I read the book, clicked on resources, and before the night was done, I bought a home training course from a company in England, a book from a store in New Zealand, and I emailed a few practitioners of this asthma cure, as well. I probably spent $300 in an hour.
Note: When you provide a convincing solution to a problem, people act fast and will spend money easily. But they aren't buying an ebook; they are buying a solution to a problem that came in the form of an e-book. Get in the solution business.
There are many lessons in this case study. The most important is for you to not think of e-books as books, but as solutions. Consider what your prospects are looking for, what they are typing in at their search engines, and strive for a match.
Jim Edwards and I have a solution for people wanting to make money selling information online. It's our www.7dayebook.com. When they search for how to write e-books, they find our e-book. The rest, as they say, is history.
Note: You can also get a new e-book, freeee, with tons of information on how to create and sell e-books. See http://www.effortlessebooks.com.

How to Make Money Fast Online
by Dr. Joe Vitale
www.mrfire.com
Don't throw in the towel. I know you've been reading about people making money online. I know you've tried to do it. Well, don't give up just yet.
I have a plan to help you make at least some money on the Internet, and I'm going to give it to you right now.
Here's my online money formula in brief:
Basically, find out what this week's most popular searches are at Google. Then pick one of them and quickly generate an e-book, e-report, or even e-audio related to that subject. Put up a site and start selling. List one copy on Ebay. That's it.
Here's how it works in detail:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html
and see what the hot searches are currently.
2. Pick one of them that you are at least somewhat curious about.
3. Research the subject online, compiling information about the subject. This will be your e-product. Be creative. Develop something people searching on this topic will want. (Get help on how to create e-books fast at www.7dayebook.com )
4. Then quickly put up a one-page website and offer your e-product for sale. You can put up sites at http://www.godaddy.com (A one-page site there is only $14.95 a year).
5. List one copy of your product on Ebay. This will get your product and site noticed right away by millions of people.
In short, you're riding the wave of the public's interest. This is a tried and true money-making secret.
For example, on Easter a friend showed me a book of nothing but questions and answers about the movie, "The Passion of The Christ."
The book is compiled data. Yet because it ties to the current frenzy of interest in Mel Gibson's movie, the book is selling and the author is getting on national TV and radio shows.
Cindy Cashman just used this exact same idea to create two e-books that spin-off of Donald Trump's current TV show. See CindyCashman.com Unless Trump actually trademark's the phrases, "You're hired!" and "You're fired!", Cindy is going to profit from Trump's stardom.
You can do this, too. Simply create something that ties to an existing popular search and use the above steps to jump-start your sales.
For example, one week last April one of the top searches was for "IRS." Obviously if you had information to help people deal with the IRS, you could capitalize on it. But if you didn't have any info, you could search the net for it, find an angle that is fresh, and release your own IRS product.
Another week the name "elisha cuthbert" was a top-10 search item. You could compile a directory of all the sites showing pictures of the actress, compile quotes by her, or maybe create an Elisha Cuthbert cookbook, beauty tips guide, joke book, or whatever, based on your web searches.
Or you could go contrarian and create something called "Why I Hate Elisha Cuthbert." (I don't. I think she's a great actress in the TV show '24' and I hear she's a nice person, too.)
Or you can get outrageous and create a campaign called "Elisha Cuthbert for President." Your site could sell an e-book where you offer Elisha as a candidate.
Get the idea?
Not everyone reading this article will act on this formula, but those who do have a good chance of making a lot of money fast.
Will you be one of them?

A Secret About Money
by Dr. Joe Vitale
www.mrfire.com
Let me tell you a secret about money.
One day Pat O'Bryan, a wonderful Texas musician well known in Europe, walked into a Master Mind group we are in and announced, "One day I'm going to write a book titled, 'The Myth of Passive Income.'"
He was joking. Everyone laughed. He had been working hard on his site at www.InstantChange.com and realized from first-hand experience that there is little passive about passive income.
I heard an opportunity.
"You ought to write that book right now," I said.
Every one shut up. They looked at me.
"It's a great idea," I explained. "People think passive income is doing nothing all day and making money while you sleep. It isn't quite like that. So let's blow the whistle and tell people the truth."
Pat was beginning to learn how to act when an opportunity popped up.
"I'll do it," he said.
We met in the parking lot after the group meeting.
He asked, "Would you go ahead and write a letter asking people making money online if they would contribute an article to our book? We just want to know what a typical day for them is like. I bet they don't sit around doing nothing."
Suddenly I was the coauthor in this project. Well, I see opportunities and jump on them, too. I agreed.
I went home, went to my computer, and drafted a letter. It was simple. I asked people online if they would tell us what a day was like in their "passive" world. I sent the letter to Pat.
He approved it almost instantly.
I then sent it out to every list owner I knew. This all happened within maybe three hours.
Within 24 hours we had wonderful articles by David Garfinkel and Tom Antion. Later the same day I heard from Jim Edwards, Yanik Silver, Jo Han Mok, and other online giants, all agreeing to send articles for our book.
And we just released the ebook today. (See it at
http://www.MythOfPassiveIncome.com.)
Now note what happened here:
A spontaneous joke became a project. That project began to take form within three hours. And within one day the book was being written -- and not by Pat OR me.
This process is how I created such mon-ey-making digital products as my online e-classes, several bestselling e-books, and even a few online promotional campaigns. I came up with the ideas and within minutes acted on them. The result: Success.
So what does money like?
Money likes speed.
That's the secret few know about money.
Money comes to those who act fast.
If you think, wonder, question, doubt, plan, meet, discuss, or in any other way drag your feet, money goes to the next person in line.
If you want to know how I've managed to write so many books and articles, it's because I act fast. This very article is an example.
Twenty minutes ago I got the idea to write something about "Money liking action." I thought I should write it some day. Then I thought, "Why not NOW?"
Well, here you go.
It's done.
And I'm now sending it out to the online world. It will tell people about me and my products, send some people to my site at www.MrFire.com and others to Pat's site at www.InstantChange.com and still others to http://www.MythOfPassiveIncome.com and we'll both make money now and later.
It happened because I know a secret about money.
You now know the secret, too.

What is the Secret to Getting Rich Today?"
by Dr. Joe Vitale
www.MrFire.com
It's Saturday morning as I write this article. I'm headed out to the lake today. A friend bought a boat and wants to take Nerissa and me out for a ride. Since I haven't had a day off in months, I'm ready for the clean air, the sun on my face, and the fast ride with good company.
Still, I'm nervous.
I'm afraid he's going to ask me about last weekend's seminar. People paid $5,000 each and came from across the planet to attend my private intensive event on Hypnotic Writing skills. I allowed only 10 people in the room. And I screened everyone who attended. I was about to reveal the most advanced strategies known to humanity for persuading with words, and I didn't want any riff raff.
I'm not kidding. I even had a guest speaker reveal the chilling little known secrets of persuasion. He had been raised in a cult. Later, he was an undercover agent. He once had a shotgun held to his head for 40 minutes. He used words to escape with his life. It was all, well, hypnotic.
This is the kind of forbidden knowledge I revealed in my weekend intensive.
My friend knows this. Like a lot of people, he's curious. He heard that I revealed the three secrets to writing copy that I've never told anyone before.
He heard that I explained my own private formula for writing sale letters -- a formula I've never revealed anywhere, ever before.
He also knows that I explained my private checklists for reviewing copy. And -- I almost regret this -- I gave away some of my original tricks for making all writing more engaging, almost irresistible to read.
I also revealed my ideas about Hypnotic Graphics, the "intimacy factor," the wisdom in comic books, a lesson from hypnosis, the power of optical illusions in words, the need to strive for the impossible, how to direct the mind, and more. I even explained how people think, and unveiled why I call myself the "Michelangelo of Words."
On top of all that, I gave the 10 people in my event a copy of my new volume, the Hypnotic Writing Training Manual, the definitive, ultimate work I will never sell or give away because it is so powerful. (There's one graphic in the manual so gripping that the man who bound the books for me looked at it and said, "Trippy!")
My friend wants to know what I revealed. He also wants that manual. Yes, he's a friend. But he's also in business.
He knows that if he learns and uses these proven methods, his business will double, maybe even triple. People who attended the event said the experience was a "20" on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being fantastic. My friend is drooling.
What am I going to do?
Go to the lake, take the boat ride, and prepare myself to be grilled by my friend, or stay here and work on something important?
The truth is, the question is for you to answer.
That's right.
You.
Do you want to spend the day on the lake -- or whatever the equivalent of that is to you -- or to do you want to knuckle down and make some real money in your own business?
The question concerns choice, life direction, and your own personal power.
Most people get bounced around by the circumstances of life. As I say in my forthcoming new book, "The Attractor Factor," you are the primary creative force in your life.
You can choose where you want to go, or you can let the winds blow you around like a mindless feather.
This morning my friend invited me to the lake. Will I go or will I stay here and work?
The answer is obvious. He's waiting for me right now.
But here I am, writing this article for you. This comes first. This is more important. This is crucial.
But what's your answer?
When you're torn between learning how to make a good living online, and a distraction, what do you choose?
Anyone serious about making money or even getting rich on the Internet, or anywhere else, needs to come from a position of mental strength.
After all, many people say they want to get rich. But how many of them are investing in their own success? How many invest in books, courses, seminars, and trainings? And of those who do invest in their own desire to get rich, how many actually use what they learn? How many choose to "go to the lake" rather than implement what they learn?
My question to you today is this:
Who is making your choices?
Your answer is the key to your success.
As for me, will I go to the lake today?
Maybe. Balance is good. Play is good. But I first have to finish this article for you. It contains a message for all of us. It's the top priority. It can help you, and others, discover the secret for getting rich.
Am I worried about my friend probing, wanting to get the confidential secrets of my $5,000 weekend?
Not anymore. I've set my mind to close that door. Anyone who wants my secrets knows how to get them. We filmed and recorded the entire weekend. I'll announce how to get them on October 5.
The lesson here is this:
Who's in charge of you?
Will you read this article and make a decision to do what's right for your goal to be rich, or will you go turn on the TV?
The choice is yours.
Your future depends on your answer.
Your wealth depends on your answer.
Choose wisely.
That said, I'm now headed to the lake.

It's Saturday morning as I write this article. I'm headed out to the lake today. A friend bought a boat and wants to take Nerissa and me out for a ride. Since I haven't had a day off in months, I'm ready for the clean air, the sun on my face, and the fast ride with good company.
Still, I'm nervous.
I'm afraid he's going to ask me about last weekend's seminar. People paid $5,000 each and came from across the planet to attend my private intensive event on Hypnotic Writing skills. I allowed only 10 people in the room. And I screened everyone who attended. I was about to reveal the most advanced strategies known to humanity for persuading with words, and I didn't want any riff raff.
I'm not kidding. I even had a guest speaker reveal the chilling little known secrets of persuasion. He had been raised in a cult. Later, he was an undercover agent. He once had a shotgun held to his head for 40 minutes. He used words to escape with his life. It was all, well, hypnotic.
This is the kind of forbidden knowledge I revealed in my weekend intensive.
My friend knows this. Like a lot of people, he's curious. He heard that I revealed the three secrets to writing copy that I've never told anyone before.
He heard that I explained my own private formula for writing sale letters -- a formula I've never revealed anywhere, ever before.
He also knows that I explained my private checklists for reviewing copy. And -- I almost regret this -- I gave away some of my original tricks for making all writing more engaging, almost irresistible to read.
I also revealed my ideas about Hypnotic Graphics, the "intimacy factor," the wisdom in comic books, a lesson from hypnosis, the power of optical illusions in words, the need to strive for the impossible, how to direct the mind, and more. I even explained how people think, and unveiled why I call myself the "Michelangelo of Words."
On top of all that, I gave the 10 people in my event a copy of my new volume, the Hypnotic Writing Training Manual, the definitive, ultimate work I will never sell or give away because it is so powerful. (There's one graphic in the manual so gripping that the man who bound the books for me looked at it and said, "Trippy!")
My friend wants to know what I revealed. He also wants that manual. Yes, he's a friend. But he's also in business.
He knows that if he learns and uses these proven methods, his business will double, maybe even triple. People who attended the event said the experience was a "20" on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being fantastic. My friend is drooling.
What am I going to do?
Go to the lake, take the boat ride, and prepare myself to be grilled by my friend, or stay here and work on something important?
The truth is, the question is for you to answer.
That's right.
You.
Do you want to spend the day on the lake -- or whatever the equivalent of that is to you -- or to do you want to knuckle down and make some real money in your own business?
The question concerns choice, life direction, and your own personal power.
Most people get bounced around by the circumstances of life. As I say in my forthcoming new book, "The Attractor Factor," you are the primary creative force in your life.
You can choose where you want to go, or you can let the winds blow you around like a mindless feather.
This morning my friend invited me to the lake. Will I go or will I stay here and work?
The answer is obvious. He's waiting for me right now.
But here I am, writing this article for you. This comes first. This is more important. This is crucial.
But what's your answer?
When you're torn between learning how to make a good living online, and a distraction, what do you choose?
Anyone serious about making money or even getting rich on the Internet, or anywhere else, needs to come from a position of mental strength.
After all, many people say they want to get rich. But how many of them are investing in their own success? How many invest in books, courses, seminars, and trainings? And of those who do invest in their own desire to get rich, how many actually use what they learn? How many choose to "go to the lake" rather than implement what they learn?
My question to you today is this:
Who is making your choices?
Your answer is the key to your success.
As for me, will I go to the lake today?
Maybe. Balance is good. Play is good. But I first have to finish this article for you. It contains a message for all of us. It's the top priority. It can help you, and others, discover the secret for getting rich.

Evil Marketing? What A Buffalo rancher taught me about selling
by Dr. Joe Vitale
www.MrFire.com
Yesterday I met a rancher who raises buffalo and sells bison products. He clearly loves his job. He gushed facts. For example:
I didn't know buffalo never get cancer. Or that buffalo meat is leaner, healthier and better for you than any other red meat. I also didn't know that buffalo contains less calories than even chicken.
"Most people just don't know how to cook it," the rancher explained. "Since the meat is lean, it needs to be slowly cooked on a really low flame."
He went on to add:
"People on the Paleo Diet, sometimes called the caveman diet, really love it. It helps them lose weight and get trim naturally," he said. "I eat one to two pounds of bison every day, some veggies, and I'm fit and strong."
Since I'm into wellness and just lost over 70 pounds, I was eager to hear all this. I was so taken by this new information that I placed a large order on the spot.
But the rancher also had some opinions that made me curious.
"I'm just a rancher," he told me. "I run my ranch by myself and I work night and day, yet at the end of it all, I have to go out and market this stuff. I almost hate it."
"You hate marketing?" I asked.
"I just saw the actor Billy Bob Thornton on television and he said, 'Marketing is evil.'"
"That's interesting," I countered. "The reason Thornton is on television is he is marketing the latest movie he's in."
"Well, I don't like marketing," the rancher told me. "Maybe it's because I don't know how to do it."
At this point, Nerissa came out and met the rancher, too. He offered her a sample of the buffalo jerky he made. He held it out in front of her as he said:
"You'll eat this and you won't want anything else the rest of the day. This is the most filling and satisfying food you'll ever have," he said. "There are no preservatives and it's all natural."
Of course, at that point I wanted some jerky, too.
When the rancher went to write up our order, he pulled a beautiful notebook out of his truck. He started to place it on the hood of my BMW Z3 sports car when I stopped him.
"I don't want it scratched," I said.
"Look at this," he said, rubbing the leather on the notebook. "Go ahead and touch it and see how smooth it is."
I did. The leather was melted butter soft.
The rancher then asked me something hypnotic:
"Can you imagine walking into a meeting with one of these under your arm?"
Of course, that natural question activated the visual part of my brain and engaged my ego. I instantly wanted the unusual product.
"How can I get one of those?" I asked.
"I can have one made for you, if you want."
I ordered one of the buffalo notebooks, too.
I then paid the rancher, shook his hand, and he got in his truck, still muttering that he didn't like marketing. He said he was so behind in learning marketing that he was prehistoric in his practices.
"Guess you're doing Paleo Marketing," I offered.
He laughed and drove off.
He didn't seem to notice that his "non-marketing" made a lot of sales that day. I bought meat, jerky, and a notebook. I also bought a case of honey, which I forgot to mention. None of it was cheap, either.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Marketing is simply engagingly informing the people most likely to be interested in your product or service that it's available.
This is what I teach people in my Executive Mentoring Program. I'll repeat it:
"Marketing is simply engagingly informing the people most likely to be interested in your product or service that it's available."
It's not about manipulation.
It's about information.
The more passionately and sincerely you convey your information, the more hypnotic your marketing will be.
But if you try to market your business to someone who has no interest in it, you may be considered evil.
That rancher was marketing, though he'd never admit it. His love for his product was apparent. He eats buffalo, wears buffalo, raises buffalo, and talks buffalo. He doesn't talk bull, he talks buffalo. And when he talks, if the people listening are at all interested in bison, they buy.
Marketing is only "evil" when you lie or mislead people to make a sale, or when your message isn't appropriate for the audience you reached. No one should ever do that sort of mis-guided marketing. Ever. There's no excuse for it.
If you're offering a product or service you believe in, then share your excitement for it to the right audience. (If you don't believe in your product or service, what are you doing trying to sell it?)
Said another way, if you have something that would truly benefit a certain group of people, and you don't tell them, aren't you doing them a dis-service?
Again, marketing is basically sharing your love. Your passion. Your belief. When you share it with someone who welcomes it, more often than not it leads to a sale. Naturally. Easily. Effortlessly.
And that's no BS.
