Gmail in Print?

Google just told me they will now print and mail any message in your gmail account – for free.

Whether you want a printed record of one message or an entire database of a thousand messages, Google will print and snail mail it to you, at no charge.

The plan is to print the selected messages on recycled paper, with ads on the back of each page. You won’t be able to hand these pages in at your next meeting but they will be useful for records and research.

I just checked my Google mail account and didn’t see the “print” button there. Maybe it’s not live yet. For more details see —

Long live Google.

PS – Of course, this whole thing could be an April Fool’s joke, too.

Guess the Quote

“______. That’s your job. That’s all you have to do.”

Gee, I wonder who said that?

And I wonder what word goes in that blank?

I’ll fill in the blank in a second, but first let me ask you a question —

Are you aware of Mark Joyner’s work?

(No, he didn’t say the above quote.)

He’s a genius at Internet marketing, but his life is all about something bigger.That guy is wired to make changes happen in the world. I think that’s all that matters for him, really. I think that becomes clearer and clearer to people each day as they watch what he does.

For example, he’s just written an extraordinarily profound book. Without question it’s the best thing he’s ever written. His last book I said was “the first marketing breakthrough in 50 years” and I meant it.

This new book has *nothing* to do with marketing.

Nothing.

It’s much bigger and much more important. It’s a dazzling exploration of the human mind – but one put so simply and elegantly that you’ll think you just watched a movie.

It examines the crazy bugaboos that can infect our minds and take us off the course of what we want.

This is stuff that should be taught in grade school, really, but isn’t.

It then teaches you how to get your head around the *actions* you need to take to get the things you want.

Does this surprise you?

One of the stars of The Secret talking about action?

It shouldn’t. Here’s a quote from the film. I know it’s right because the talking head that was up on the screen when these words came through was ME šŸ™‚

“The Universe likes speed. DonĀ“t delay. DonĀ“t second guess. DonĀ“t doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, ACT. ThatĀ“s your job. ThatĀ“s all you have to do.”

Mark’s “Simpleology” is all about speed and action.

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

The results people have been getting from it are nothing short of miraculous. Not only that, you’ll learn some pretty shocking and surprising stuff about how your brain works, how society is structured, and a lot more.

Some of this stuff is so fresh and new that you will have several jaw-dropping “what??? I didn’t know that!” moments in the quick single sitting it will take you to read this book.

And there are some new useful theories and models that may be looked back on as serious philosophical breakthroughs {there is some PhD thesis level new information in here that Mark dishes out ever-so-casually like candy on a dish – you may not even realize how revolutionary this stuff is while you are reading it – it’s presented so smoothly and in such a fascinating can’t-put-it-down way).

You can watch a heart-pounding video “trailer” for the book here:

http://mrfire.simpleology.com/book

You’ll get a ton of bonus goodies shipped to your e-door for buying, but you don’t need that. The book, alone, is one of your “must have” purchases this year.

In fact, buy a copy for every member of your family. It’s one of those “should have been handed out at the door way of life” rarities.

Remember that the universe loves speed … Go do this now before the next email comes in.

Serving Love

I love gadgets.

The smaller, the better.

The more powerful, the better.

The more unique, the better.

When my four-year-old Fujitsu Lifebook started to get too sluggish, I started thinking about a new one.

I love my Blackberry 8700C for getting email and answering phone calls, but trying to view web sites on it requires a microscope. I wanted one of those new ultra-light warp-speed too-cool “laptops” to carry on planes and use out by the pool.

I looked at the new 0q0 long and hard. It’s under one pound and does everything but transport me from here to your house. But the website is poorly done, the model is back ordered for almost three months, and the device isn’t much bigger than my Blackberry, anyway.

I then considered the new Fujitsu Lifebook P1610. It’s about 2 pounds and can come as a double-duty tablet screen PC as well as a regular screen Windows unit.

I also knew there are lots of other makes and models out there. Trying to decide which one to get for me was getting confusing.

I bought a few gadget magazines.

I poked around online doing research.

I even went into a retail computer store, which amazingly didn’t have a single ultra-light to show me.

“They’re all on our site,” the clerk told me.
Yea, but I’m in your store, I thought, and I have money in my pocket to spend right now.

So I wrote to Fujitsu and asked them which model they would recommend from their giant catalog of products.

I also wrote to Dynamism, a popular gadget site that’s been around for nine years. They specialize in selling Japanese products to the US market. I wanted to know what model they would suggest, too.

Fujitsu never replied.

That was over a week go and they still haven’t replied. Very disappointing. I was a Fujitsu customer and was all set to be one again. But they ignored me.

Dynamism wrote back quickly.

They suggested the Panasonic R6. It’s 2 pounds and has an 8 hour battery life.

I bought it.

It arrived yesterday. I had some questions about operating it, so I called Dynamism. They answered the phone every time. There was never a wait. Never put on hold.

And when I asked one tech guy there if I could ask a few more questions, he laughed and said, “You can ask me anything you like. I’m here for you.”

Last night Nerissa and I went out with our friend Mark Ryan. The Mississippi waitress who took care of us had off the charts high energy, Southern charm, and a smile that made my heart sing. We loved her and her spirit.

When we asked her what kept her so happy while she served people, she said, “I’m trying to make a small difference in people’s lives.”

She ended up sitting with us at our table, after dinner, and talking to us for almost an hour.

That’s service.

That’s love.

And whether it’s from a computer store or a waitress, we all want it.

Are you giving it?

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

Chasing Moments

I spent part of yesterday in San Antonio with a dear friend. We talked at length about life and spirituality.
I told him that most people are “out” of the moment.
They are looking for the next deal, next car, next house, next pay raise, next check…not realizing that the point of power, the true miracle, is right here.
The quest for the “stuff” is a grand illusion. There’s nothing wrong with any of it, as long as you know it’s part of the game of life.
But most people think it will bring lasting happiness. It won’t. As soon as you achieve it or attract it, you’ll desire something else.
You’ll be chasing the next moment.
I told my friend about the Adam Sandler movie, Click. The essence of the movie is that Adam is trying to fast-forward through life. He does, too. But near the end he realizes he has missed out on life itself.

I do my best not to leave the moment. I still do, of course. I’m learning, too.

But I do my best to stay here, in this moment, knowing that as I do, the next moment takes care of itself. As long as I fully participate in this moment, the next ones are just as good and often incredibly better.

In fact, when you stay in the moment, you attract more of the good things in life and appreciate them longer.
The key is to be here now, with awareness and gratitude.
My friend said the message about being in the moment caused a shift in him.
I hope it does with you, as well.
This really is it.
Ao Akua,
Joe

Attracting the Great Lotto Publicity Stunt

Unless you get a little uncomfortable now and then, you’re probably playing it safe.

That’s fine, unless you have a big dream you haven’t fulfilled yet.

That’s when you may have to leave your comfort zone.

Here’s what I mean…

In 2006 I made a decision that changed my life. It involved hiring one of the most notorious media pranksters in the world.

I hired him to create one of the largest publicity stunts in modern history.

Why?

To do what?

I knew my book, The Attractor Factor, changed lives. I had and have hundreds of stories from readers to prove it.

But I also knew there was a whole world that never heard of it, despite it being a bestseller twice. I wanted that world to notice my book. And to reach them I was going to have to do something, well, outrageous.

So I attracted the right man to pull off the right stunt, and we attracted national media attention for my book.

This was a daring thing for me to do.

We planned to “win” the largest lotto jackpot in the history of the US.

And for a few days, we did just that.

The entire event could have backfired and led to bad publicity.

It didn’t.

It was fun, educational, entertaining, and led to my book getting even more attention than ever before.

In fact, The Attractor Factor has sold out five times now, is now in paperback and hardcover editions, and continues to be a top seller at Amazon. It’s that very book that got me into the movie The Secret.

Obviously, that “scary publicity stunt” worked to help attract more success.

This entire “humbug” is now a fast-paced documentary on DVD, which went on sale yesterday. It’s called “Humbug: The Art of Outrageous Publicity.”

It may be the scariest thing I’ve filmed yet.

It contains interviews with me, and Alan Abel, the zany publicist I hired (who wrote the above pictured book, How to Thrive on Rejection).

It also contains juicy background stories about famous people who used outrageous publicity in the past, from Mark Twain to Edgar Allan Poe to of course P.T. Barnum.

It also shows you the outrageous publicity event as it happened, complete with actual news footage, newspaper headlines, and media interviews.

On top of that, I explain why you need to consider using publicity for yourself and your business, whether you’re online or not.

And then there are the bonus features, including one with me sitting in Francine (my Panoz exotic sports car), and telling you why taking a gamble sometimes is the wisest thing you can do.

Oh.

And I also unveil the mermaid I own.

There’s more, of course.

You can get details and even see a short video excerpt from it over at —www.customflix.com/226626

If you want some educational entertainment, and if you want to be informed and inspired, then go take a look.

Success goes to those who dare to dream.

And sometimes you have to take a little “scary action,” as well.

Ao Akua,

Joe
