Action Figures

The Leap

I was filmed for two more movies last week. One of them is called The Leap. Actually, their original title was much longer than that. They shortened it after I gave them a marketing lesson in how people think. You can see me talking and singing (yes, singing) with the producers of it at http://revver.com/watch/617055 or by clicking the image below. Enjoy.

Why I Gave Up Intentions

joevitaleoffice2.jpg I spent last Saturday with a small group of wonderful people from all over the world who just completed my year long Miracles Coaching Certification Program.

The day was upbeat and buzzing with energy.

But at lunch one person asked me a question that may be on your mind, too.
img00354.jpg  “In the movie The Secret and in your book The Attractor Factor you said you believe in intentions, but in your book Zero Limits you say you no longer believe in them. What do you do now?”

I can see where that could confuse people.

In my new Nightingale-Conant audioprogram, The Missing Secret, I explain my approach to life in a way that clears the air. I’ll try to recap it here:

Today I realize that most intentions are limitations.

Intentions come from your ego and can actually limit what is possible for you to receive.

Intentions are wonderful when you are first awakening to your own power. It’s thrilling to set goals and achieve them. But there’s an easier, better, more magical and even miraculous way to go through life.

I explain this in Zero Limits, where I say there are three stages of awakening.

STAGE ONE:

In the first stage you are a victim. We’re all born into it and most of us stay there. With coaching or the right books or the right movies, you one day break free.

STAGE TWO:

In the next stage you realize you have more power than you ever thought before. In this stage intentions are fun and exciting and useful. You aim your life where you want it to go. It’s exhilarating to manifest things like new cars or a new house or anything else you can imagine.

But there’s a stage after that.

STAGE THREE:

In the third stage you realize you have choice but you don’t have control. You realize you don’t have all power. This is where you surrender. This is where you can receive inspiration from something greater than your ego awareness.

I was filmed for two more movies last week. One of them is all about letting go to inspiration.

For me, I want inspiration.

When it comes, that becomes my new intention.

But the intention comes from inspiration, not from limitation.

The intention comes from the Divine, not my pipsqueak ego.

In short, when I receive an inspiration to do something, it becomes my intention.

So I still believe in intentions, but not those of the ego, but those of the Divine.

Intentions are for wimps.

When I set an intention to do something like, say, write a book, I use my conscious will and my energy and get it done.

But when I allow an inspiration to become my new intention, and combine my energy with it, than I often create something astonishingly unexpected like, say, my own television show.

Inspiration might also direct me to write another book, of course, but the point is, inspiration will often surprise me with something bigger and bolder than I ever imagined before.

As P.T. Barnum said, “Not my will, but thine, be done.”

When you follow inspiration, you get to say (like the Blues Brothers), “I’m on a mission from God.”

How do you know an intention from an inspiration?

Usually by how it feels.

uvs080111-021.JPG  When I was on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC television show The Big Idea last November*, I told him and his audience that the directive to do anything needs to come from your heart, or your gut, not your mind.

When you follow that, you follow your divine path.

It’s different for each person, of course. You may be inspired to enroll in Miracles Coaching or Executive Mentoring to better understand my marketing and metaphysical methods; somebody else may not.

I still use coaches today, and think everyone needs to. We all have beliefs and limitations to release. 

For example, inspiration nudged me into creating my own TV show, called Expect Miracles.

But my ego was resisting it.

It was stretching my self-image limits.

For that reason, I needed Miracles Coaching to help me get and stay clear. As long as I stay clear, miracles happen.

I’m now clear and ready for this TV show to be a mega-success.

And now the investors, actors, directors, editors and writers are coming to me.

Why? How?

Because I cleared the blocks within me, with the help of my coaches, to allow it all to happen.

Another thing I’ve learned and have said repeatedly is that “The Universe likes speed.”

When you are inspired, act and act fast.

If you are inspired and don’t act, it’s a sign you have some clearing to do.

What do you feel inspired to do?

Do it.

NOW.

Ao Akua,

How to Attract Miracles

expect-miracles.jpg I believe nothing is impossible or incurable.

I want to prove it to you and the rest of the world with a weekly
national television show.

The show is called Expect Miracles.

I’m working with celebrities, movie directors, investors and others from Hollywood who want this show.

I intend to find the people doing miraculous things in all areas of life, interview them, and broadcast their stories.

People like the man who healed himself of blindness – and went on to heal thousands of others of vision problems.

People like the couple who healed their son of autism — and has been teaching others to do the same thing for decades now.

People like the man who was broke and starving, yet went on to build an online empire – and now teaches others to do the same thing.

I’ve written about miracles in my books, such as Zero Limits and The Attractor Factor and spoken about them in my new audioprogram for Nightingale-Conant, The Missing Secret.

But there are many more stories out there, and many more people to reach.

Seeing a weekly inspiring TV show can awaken all of us to new levels of power and greatness.

If you would like to see such a show on national television, go to www.expectmiraclestv.com and vote for it.

It will take you one second — literally just a simple click — yet this could be the beginning of a movement.

Also, if you have a miracle to report, or know someone who does, let me know. Leave a comment on this post and I or someone from my office will follow-up with you.

Pass the word: Joe Vitale intends to awaken the world.

And you can help make it happen.

Lost Beatles Music Found

If you read my blog on October 17, 2007* and grabbed some Fuego stock at that time, you’re probably smiling right now. Fuego Entertainment just released this news today:

Fuego Entertainment Acquires 15 “Lost”, Never Before Released, Recordings by The Beatles

Jan 10, 2008 6:00:00 AM MIAMI, FL — (MARKET WIRE) — 01/10/08 — Fuego Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: FUGO) today announced it has acquired 15 tracks of previously unreleased music by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, “The Beatles.”

The recordings were made in 1962, a short time before their signing with E.M.I., during the FAB FOUR’S first live appearance together at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany playing before a small audience of about twenty to thirty people.

The original tape of this live recording was “lost” for over 33 years in the record and tape collection of legendary music producer and promoter Mr. Jeffrey Collins.

The Star Club Hamburg recorded most groups that appeared at their club in the late 50s and early 60s under a performance contract that included payment in full for any live recordings made at their club. Many of these recordings were released by Polydor (West Germany). However this particular tape was sold along with several others to Jeffrey Collins, of the Collins Organization, a booking agency in London, England.

The original idea was that the tapes would be used to promote the Star Club as a venue and the groups to other clubs that the Collins Organization used. The tapes were in fact not touched until 1994 when, with the release of the B.B.C. tapes and a renewed interest in The Beatles, Mr. Jeffrey Collins decided to search for the lost tapes.

This 15 track set was recorded at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany a short while after the Ted Taylor recordings and boast different and perhaps better takes of “A Taste of Honey” and “Hippy Hippy Shake” (using Tony Sheridan as a 5th Beatle). These are the only two songs found on the original Star Club releases with which this recording should not be confused.

This is an historical recording because it was the very first time that Ringo Starr actually played with The Beatles “live” after replacing Pete Best on the drums.

Other tracks make good use of Kingsize Taylor’s Band “The Dominoes” who utilize their piano on such Beatles favorites as “Money,” “Twist and Shout” and “I Saw Her Standing There” all of which were subsequently used on The Beatles’ first studio recordings for E.M.I.

What makes this album truly unique are the eight songs not available on any previously released L.P.s or singles — which include Paul McCartney singing Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues” and George Harrison vocalizing Maurice Williams’ “Do You Believe.” One of the most outstanding tracks on this album must be “Ask Me Why” showing just how John Lennon and Paul McCartney became
such a winning combination.

The complete list of all the tracks, the complete story of how this “lost” tape from The Beatles came into the possession of Mr. Jeffrey Collins and sound clips from several of the recordings from this album will soon be available on our Fuego Entertainment, Inc. web site at www.FuegoEntertainment.net. When you enter the web site click on the “Fuego Plus” menu button.

“I am delighted to be given the opportunity to work with such professional businessmen within the Fuego Entertainment Organization and I am truly looking forward to running the new joint venture and achieving the goals that we will set for ourselves,” said Jeffrey Collins.

“Our previously announced Joint Venture with Mr. Collins’s Echo Vista Group, incorporates into our exciting music library an extraordinary, diverse, valuable catalog of music. In some cases, never released recorded music, The Beatles is only one example. I’m extremely excited about this acquisition and the future release of this historical Beatles album. They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed music groups in the history of popular music,” stated Hugo Cancio, President & CEO of Fuego
Entertainment.

This one of a kind historical album will be released under the Echo-Fuego joint venture, a majority control music division of Fuego Entertainment. A release date will be announced in the near future.
