I just returned from my third visit to Poland. I love the country. The people are warm, generous, loving and lovable. They are into the Law of Attraction, the movie The Secret, and of course The Secret to Attracting Money. Here are some photos to give you a feel for the place. I’ll go back again in a heartbeat.
Here I am with Andrea Kulcsar, who wants to translate my book Attract Money Now into Swedish and Hungarian:
Here I am with my dear friend Andrzej Batko, NLP and hypnosis master and author of a bestselling book in Polish on The Secret:
It’s not all work in Poland.
Here Nerissa and I pose for caricatures at the Baltic Sea:
I’m presenting in Warsaw to a hungry crowd:
On a grounded Russian airplane turned into a diner outside of Warsaw:

Marketing lessons are everywhere. You can view a humorous one I was reminded of on my recent flight to Poland. Talk about putting me into a “buying trance”. Enjoy.
Guy Monroe is my singing coach. I love working with him. He’s plugged in, tapped in, turned on, and a wizard at teaching vocal mastery.
Recently we were enjoying his magic coffee before my singing lesson began when he asked about my activities. I rattled off a few things I was doing that week —
– released my 51st book 1,800 Conversion Secrets
– appeared in my 15th movie The Meta-Secret
– did back to back radio shows
– negotiated deals for new audio products
– set up a radio campaign for Attract Money Now
– did a two hour photo shoot with my new car
– prepared for Unseminar 8.
– prepped for overseas travel to speak in Poland
– continued guitar lessons with Mathew Dixon
– found time to read new books
– found time to write new blog posts
– did Miracles Coaching call
– dealt with my mom going in the hospital, an elderly kitty slowly dying, etc.
That’s just some of the things I was doing that week.
Of course, I added that I made time for meditation, reflection, cigar smoking, hot tubbing, masterminding, and more.
Guy’s eyes looked HUGE as he took in my inventory of activities.
“What’s the secret to getting all these results?” he asked.
“I don’t do all of this at the same time,” I explained.
“Right now I’m talking to you and having coffee,” I added. “That’s what this moment calls for. In the next moment I’ll be in your sound booth and singing. After that I’ll drive my space-ship Spyker home. When I get home, there will be something in that moment to do. By living in each moment, things get done.”
Guy nodded. He’s a brilliant teacher and a high-energy dynamo, so I knew he understood.
I added, “It’s when you think about all the stuff you want to do that it gets overwhelming. When you stop and breathe and relax and just do what’s in this moment to do, all is well.”
What’s in this moment for you to do?

Anybody who knows me understands that I am a bookaholic. I love books. I read them, write them, buy them, review them, collect them, give them, and more. My world would not exist without books. That said, I am wondering if they are all they are cracked up to be.
I was just in Ohio visiting family. I poked around the dusty boxes of books still in my parent’s basement and found copies of books I didn’t and still don’t recall reading.
I picked up a paperback edition of Napoleon Hill’s classic self-help book, Think and Grow Rich. Apparently I bought it in 1976. I don’t remember reading it. The book has a few underlined sentences. It looks read.
The thing is, if I read that book in 1976, I either missed something or didn’t apply something. I was broke for the next ten years or more. Maybe I just didn’t think enough to get rich while I read it.
I’m not saying this to suddenly be against books. I think you can learn the wisdom of the universe from books. But there’s reading, there’s understanding, and there’s implementation. I don’t think I understood Hill’s book in 1976. I don’t think I implemented it, either.
We learn faster when we have a coach, mentor, educator; someone to help us understand the material and then guide us as we take action and get feedback.
Yes, you can read the book and get results. I’m told more people have become millionaires from Think and Grow Rich than any other book ever written. But that doesn’t mean the process is automatic. I think we need guidance.
There are exceptions to every rule. I taught myself writing. I did it with books. But I read, studied, and implemented every single thing I came across in those books.
Yes, read Think and Grow Rich.
Yes, read Attract Money Now.
But also do something to integrate what you read.
Consider forming a study group or mastermind.
Or maybe get a Miracles Coach and really turbocharge your life and career.
I’ll never be against books. But I do think you have to become one with a book to really understand it. Had I done that in 1976, I might have been far happier, healthier and wealthier at an earlier age.

In the below recent short video, my 85-year-old father explains when I started writing. Apparently I was very young. He says I was working on a sequel to the most influential book of all time. We touch on everything from the Bible to Think and Grow Rich, Will Rogers, Rod Serling, Groucho Marx, and more. Whew. Enjoy.
