I got a round of appplause last weekend when I told everyone at Pat O’Bryan’s Un-Seminar II that I bought a Rolex.

That confused me.

Why did they applaud?

Later, at lunch, I asked the folks at my table why they applauded my buying a Rolex watch.

“Because you proved you are still stretching yourself,” one person said.

“Because you were once homeless and in poverty and you are showing us we all can change,” said another.

I was impressed. Still am. I had no idea my investing in a Rolex would become an inspirational learning experience to everyone else around me.

Had I known that, I might have bought two.

PS – The official Rolex website is at www.rolex.com/en/. I just learned that my Rolex will come from Switzerland in about three months — in time for either Christmas or my birthday (December 29) — or to start 2007 on the right foot. As Rocky Balboa once said, if you want to have a good time, you need a good watch.

PPS – If you want to know how to speed up manifesting things — so you, too, can order a new Rolex — you might want to look into the package that reveals a “lazy way” to get whatever you want. Go see www.milagromethod.com

PPPS – If you want to hear Pat O’Bryan and me play some blues music — me on harmonica and him on guitar while a rainbow forms above us and people cheer us on — you can now see a short bootleg video of us from this past weekend’s Un-Seminar II. This sweaty blues-rock rare performance of “Crossroads” will leave you smiling. I think the song is a metaphor for our lives. See http://www.imbluesband.com/ It rocks!

PPPPS – Notice the power of a PS? Notice you read every one of them?

I’ve been mentioning Karmic Marketing for a decade or more. It’s high time that I explain what it means.

Here’s a quick definition:

Karmic Marketing is giving now knowing that in some way, shape or form you will be getting later.

Here’s how it works:

You’re rewarded instantly when you give because of the good feelings you get. Those feelings act like magnetizers that will attract more good feelings.

You’re rewarded later because of the invisible law that says you will get from giving.

I looked at this topic in my books, The Greatest Money-Making Secret of All Time and Life’s Missing Instruction Manual, but I didn’t look at it from a Karmic Marketing perspective.

So let me give you an example or two:

This weekend, at Pat O’Bryan’s Un-Seminar II, I gave everyone a copy of the DVD of the movie The Secret.

I bought the DVD’s out of my own pocket. I didn’t ask any money for them. I didn’t expect any money for them. I gave from my sincere desire to share.

Later that same night I received an email from Rhonda, the producer of The Secret. She said she was sending me, as a gift, a box of 50 DVD’s of the movie.

That’s almost twice as many DVD’s as I gave out.

That’s Karmic Marketing.

At one point during Pat’s event, I magically turned a roll of life savers into a hundred dollar bill, and then gave the money to an astonished woman in the audience.

I didn’t ask for anything in return.

Two days later, that same woman asked me a question in front of everyone that let me plug my next Beyond Manifestation weekend.

That plug led to my making two thousand dollars in one minute.

That’s Karmic Marketing.

The idea is to give freely, from your heart, wanting to share and wanting to help, and not expecting anything in return at all from the people you are doing it for.

You simply trust that your good deed will come back to you tenfold, in time, in some surprising and wonderful ways.

I practice Karmic Marketing here on the Internet by giving people things that I believe they will love, such as an ebook, or a course, or an audio, or a coupon.

On one level it strengthens our relationship.

But on the unseen level, it starts a spiritual circulation.

My giving now — done from my heart, with no expectation from the people I am doing it for — leads to getting later.

Karmic Marketing is not done much because too many people are into survival. They are afraid to let go. To trust. They are desperate and they stay desperate because of this lack of trust in life. But once you let go and trust, you step into a flow that is prosperity itself.

This very blog is Karmic Marketing at work.

I write posts here about whatever I want, doing my best to entertain, educate, inspire and inform. No one pays me for this. I could make more money writing a sales letter or a book or a website. But here I am, writing for you.

What comes to me as a result of doing this?

Increased business.

Increased sales.

Increased fans.

Sometimes an Amazon gift certificate.

But I’m not doing it for the end result.

I’m doing it because I want to.

Because I love to.

Because I love you.

PS — I enjoy the TV show Desperate Housewives, mostly because I love watching Teri Hatcher. (Don’t tell Lindsay Lohan.) But Desperate Housewives, like Desperate Marketers, are never satisfied. There’s a reason why so many of the episodes revolve around murder and deception. Desperation leads to more desperation. It’s The Attractor Factor at work. A better choice would be Karmic Marketing. Give from love. Receive in love.

PPS – This just in: See some cool pictures from Pat O’Bryan’s Un-Seminar II over at www.patobryan.com/blog.htm. It was a wonderful time with wonderful people. Thank you, Pat, and everyone who attended. Talk about love. It was in the air.

PPPS – I don’t have all the details on my appearance on Larry King. I’ll fly out to LA on Oct. 12 for the taping. Jack Canfield will be on the show, too. Larry King may do a two-parter with John Assaraf on another segment. The show is about how to change your life by changing your mind. I’ll let you know as I learn more.

Pat O’Bryan’s un-seminar was a smash hit.

Whether it was Bill Hibbler talking about master minds, or Craig Perrine talking about the inner game of success, or me putting everyone into a group trance with a few stories in order to teach them Hypnotic Copywriting … the entire weekend was off the charts wonderful.

One of my favorite moments was blowing my brains out playing the harmonica with Pat on the guitar, while the Austin sky turned colors and lit up with a thunder storm percolating off in the distance. A small crowd watched us and cheered us on. A rainbow showed up, too.

I liked the jam session so much that I told Pat we need to record a CD. Being the smart opportunist that he is, he instantly agreed. But we’ll record something with a “twist”. (Don’t ask. I’m not telling — yet.)

I think some of our fiery music session was caught on video. We’ll release it some day.

A lot of photos were taken. One is above.

Pat’s entire un-seminar event was recorded, so be looking for it soon.

It rocked.

PS — I told the attendees the news no one else has heard yet: I’ll be on Larry King next month. (!) Stay tuned for details. Learn about Larry King at http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/king.larry.html Is life exciting or what?

I’m at Pat O’Bryan’s unseminar. Right now Craig Perrine is speaking. He’s a great speaker but I’ve heard him before so I’m typing this in the back of the room on my Blackberry.

Earlier I told the group about the mindset for success. I mentioned the movie The Secret and my book The Attractor Factor.

I then showed them a roll of Lifesaver candy. I pointed out it was once a thought. Now it’s a product.

I dropped the roll into a brass tube. I said the tube was an Intention Accelerator. I asked the group what would be better than candy. Most people said money.

Money became the new intention.

I asked a woman to come up front with me. I let her see the transformation. I opened the tube which contained the roll of lifesavers. Her eyes grew wide as she watched me pull a one hundred dollar bill out of the cannister. I then gave her the money.

Intention is powerful. It changes current reality into a new reality.

What’s your intention?

PS – Almost everyone here has seen the movie The Secret. I gave everyone a copy of the DVD so soon they will all see it. Magic lives. Got magic?

I’m getting ready to speak at Pat O’Bryan’s famous un-seminar this weekend but before I head out the door I wanted to tell you about a magical way to spend your money that makes you feel better than anything, maybe even sex.

As you know by now, I believe in giving money away. It’s a great way to practice Karmic Marketing, implement the law of tenfold return, make a difference in the world, and open yourself to receiving prosperity, as well.

While I may spend money on myself, Nerissa, loved ones and friends, there’s nothing like the feeling of freely giving it to someone you don’t know who touches your heart.

I was reminded of this yesterday.

I got an email about the progress of Kirk, a lovable little boy who suffered a stroke shortly after birth.

I didn’t know that babies can suffer strokes. It wasn’t until my friend Kevin Hogan told me about Kirk that I learned this is a problem few people address, and costs a lot of money to attempt to heal.

As a result, Kevin started a fund to help this little boy, Kirk. When Kevin asked me to donate, I was resistant. I had just sent money to my sister, and spent a lot on bills and such, and was feeling like I had done my share.

But I couldn’t shake the feeling that little Kirk needed my help. So a little while later, on the same day, I shook off my scarcity fears and wrote Kevin back, saying I would help. I donated a large amount and trusted it would be put to good use.

It was.

Kirk was able to get his first operation and is already doing better. You can get a sense of him, and learn about him, at Amazing Kirk.

The point I want to share with you is that giving money to help Kirk made me feel better than anything else I’ve done in a long, long time.

Even better than ordering my BMW 645ci.

Even better than ordering my Rolex.

When I learned about Kirk’s progress yesterday, I smiled. Then beamed. The good feelings I experienced are still with me. And it’s these very good feelings that will go out into the world and attract more wealth to me. And when it does, I will again spread the good cheer.

I strongly suggest that you practice this “profitable philanthropy,” as P. T. Barnum called it, who himself gave lots of money to many causes and experienced great wealth.

Give and grow rich.

PS — Kevin Hogan just sent me an email, saying, “Check out Kirk’s smile on that front page (www.amazingkirk.com); he couldn’t do that 18 months ago….” This feels sooooo good.
