As an author, I’ve always wanted to write a book that makes a difference; one that made a measurable transformation in the world itself.

Many say I’ve accomplished that with my bestselling books, The Attractor Factor and Zero Limits.

But I’ve wanted to do even more; I’ve wanted to do something on a scale so big, it would influence millions and actually elevate the planet.

Now, at long last, as humbly as I can, I can announce my magnum opus, the inspired new book of a long career –

“The Awakened Millionaire: A Manifesto for the Spiritual Wealth Movement.”

Available April 16th

Not only have I written the first manifesto to blend wealth and spirit, but I’ve created a full online training program to help people integrate the key principles in the manifesto so they can live AS Awakened Millionaires.

I’m more than excited to share this with you, and I invite you to check out both and spread the message of the new revolution:

The manifesto in print, on audio, or for your Kindle reader will be available April 16th http://www.amazon.com/Awakened-Millionaire-Manifesto-Spiritual-Movement/dp/1119264162/

The Awakened Millionaire Academy (the full online training) will be available April 3rd http://awakenedmillionaireacademy.com/

You can leap ahead and get on the early notification list right now by going to the above links.

Together, we can make a difference.

Will you join me?

Expect Miracles.

Ao Akua,

Back in the late 1800s a company sold “Ambition Pills.”

Their ads claimed the pills could cure anything, including sagging motivation.

Today we might call such a pill a placebo, because it’s the belief in the pill that does anything, and not the pill.

These pills contained poison

The problem is, the pills being sold in the 1800s were made with strychnine – a poison.

Take enough of those pills, and you could die.

That’s a pill that does something.

I’d guess that the company didn’t last long and their “Ambition Pills” were taken off the market.

But you can find variations of them today.

People want a “magic pill” – whether a book, a formula, a tool, a technique, or a capsule, to help them overcome what they feel they can’t do on their own.

The thing is, virtually any tool you use is only as effective as your belief in it.

If you don’t believe in something, it generally won’t work for you.

If you don’t believe in the Law of Attraction, for example, your belief will filter all facts and only find any evidence to support your belief.

If you DO believe in the Law of Attraction, by the same token, your belief will cause you to seek and find all the evidence to support THAT belief.

I have a medical doctor friend who says, “All of medicine is just the placebo effect.”

If you look close, you can see what is really at work here:

Belief.

Anyone taking an “Ambition Pill” in the 1800s got results or not due more to their belief than to the pill (which was obviously deadly).

There are even companies today selling pills as stated placebos.

They make no claim at all for their pills.

Honest Placebo Pills

They are simply selling inert pills — and openly telling you so — that you can take to support whatever intention you want.

Obviously, since the pill does nothing, and is made of virtually nothing, the only way it can help you is if you believe it can.

Belief.

There it is again.

Belief.

Knowing that belief is the operating element here ought to make you curious about how to change your limiting or negative beliefs.

You can change them on your own, of course, with hard work and ruthless honestly, but you’ll have much faster results, and an easier time of it, if you simply do one thing:

Get a trained coach.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

When I hired an expert coach, my life transformed.

That’s why I created Miracles Coaching® almost ten years ago.

It works.

And it can help you, too.

A Miracles Coach can help you see your own beliefs — which, because the beliefs are your “world” and control what you see, you can’t very easily find on your own.

A Miracles Coach can help you change, delete or erase a limiting belief, too, which you may not know how to do by yourself.

And a Miracles Coach can become your ally, friend, and accountability partner in your life adventure.

But I wouldn’t ask you to take just my word for the power of this coaching program.

I don’t watch movies about zombies or vampires, not unless there’s some comedy in it or a psychological insight about the rest of us, but recently I watched a documentary called, How to Be a Billionaire, which got me thinking about zombies.

Let me explain:

The three billionaires featured in the film are all big thinkers.

And I’m talking BIG.

They are not zombies at all.

One wants to create passenger flights to the moon (!) for you to take your sweetie for a honeymoon. At the same time, he wants to bring back ore from the moon and sell it back here on Earth as a precious metal. He expects it to be a trillion dollar business.

Another created a social media site with his wife and sold it for $850,000,000. Apparently AOL saw the value in it for reaching millions of people. But when it bombed under the new ownership, the couple who originated the site bought it back – for only $1,000,000. They are now investing in even more businesses and revamping their own original software.

Yet another billionaire is creating life-like looking robots of people like you, with the idea of eventually installing your consciousness in them (!)  so you can live forever. Yes, he’s really working on this attempt at immortality.

Each of these billionaires is thinking so big, it may appear insane.

In fact, one of the billionaires said, “If you go to a party and tell your idea to people and they don’t think you’re crazy, then you’re not thinking big enough.”

That’s so important, I want to repeat it –

“If you go to a party and tell your idea to people and they don’t think you’re crazy, then you’re not thinking big enough.”

Besides thinking on a scale most people never entertain, none of the billionaires were pursuing their dreams for the money.

They felt the dream and the pursuit were more important than the money, though they welcome the money to continue the dream and the pursuit.

It reminded me of Walt Disney’s famous quote, “I want to make money from my movies so I can continue making movies.”

All of this got me thinking about my own mission in life.

Am I thinking big enough?

In April I’ll be releasing my new book and new online course, called The Awakened Millionaire.

The book is a manifesto written to set a fire under people to ignite them to go for their dreams, pursue them with passion, and be OK profiting from them, too.

Manifesto launching April 2016

The book is a stir to action subtitled “A Manifesto for the Spiritual Wealth Movement.”

The online course will be through The Awakened Millionaire Academy, and will be a complete how-to on transforming yourself into an Awakened Millionaire.

I’m psyched about all of this, but the documentary made me question how big I was thinking.

The billionaires thought in terms of reaching a billion or more people.

I was thinking in terms of reaching a million.

Obviously, I need to think bigger.

As I brainstormed ideas on how to elevate and expand my dream, I thought of “Zombie Millionaires.”

It would be a great book.

Probably a great movie.

I doubt I’ll do either, but the idea of  Zombie Millionaires made me realize that most people pursuing money are like zombies.

They are dead to their dream.

They are sleepwalking through life.

They have stuck beliefs about money.

What if I awakened the zombies of the world with my new book and online course?

I’m kidding around on one level and expanding my mind on another.

I know a fellow making a movie about zombies who learn meditation. It’s his clever way to get people to practice meditation by drawing them in with a story about zombies.

Whatever I do with all this isn’t important.

What you do with it is.

So, are you thinking big enough?

Are you reaching a million people?

A billion?

More?

What would you do if you thought like a billionaire and were devoted to service and making a difference on a grand scale?

What would you do if you were an Awakened Millionaire?

Ao Akua,

I’ve been in Los Angeles filming my own TV show.

Right now it’s being called The Attractor Factor, based on my bestselling book, but it could end up being called The Awakened Millionaire, after my new book coming out in April.

But the story behind the TV show is far more amazing than the title or the fact that I have one.

You see, ten days before the filming, there wasn’t a show at all.

On the set of my TV show

This miracle manifested in just over one week.

How?

I’m glad you asked.

People have wanted me to have my own television show for over ten years.

Right after the movie The Secret hit the online world, and mega shows like Larry King Live had me on as a guest twice, and Oprah aired several shows of her own on the subject, Hollywood corporate types called me in.

They wanted to discuss a major TV show. At one point I sat in an office with several women who run the major network prime time shows, and Lisa Nichols and I were considered for our own show.

We’d be dual hosts and play off each other.

We’d take turns coaching people.

Both Lisa and I loved the idea.

But as time went on, they didn’t pursue the show.

At least not with me.

I’m told that happens every hour in Hollywood.

At another point during this frenzy for The Secret, a Cuban businessman wanted me to have a television show for the Latino market.

He didn’t seem to care that I spoke little Spanish.

He was going to pair me with a popular Spanish movie star, and we would co-host a TV show.

That petered out, too.

But it wasn’t more than a year or so later that yet another group of people came to me, wanting me to have my own show.

These were actors and actresses and behind-the-scenes workers in the movie industry.

They were all fans of me and my work.

They came to my home; I went to theirs.

We had many exciting meetings discussing my own show.

But after a few months of travel and talk, I got tired of it and pulled the plug.

It just didn’t feel like the right time to do this.

The kicker was when I was robbed in LA.

I took that as a sign to stop.

I did.

At yet another point in this adventure, I “had lunch with God” and was going to create an entire television network.

Not just a single show, but a network that would air numerous positive shows.

It was going to be called The Abundance Network.

I met several times with an investor, friends in the media, and more.

We were excited and passionate.

We planned big things.

But that didn’t materialize, either.

Years went by.

Then, in mid February, a man I met 17 years ago — 17 years ago!!!! — contacted me.

He told me he was producing TV content for Amazon, and that Amazon was buying tons of film and shows for their Prime Members.

He also said he wanted to shoot some episodes of me.

I had no idea what he meant or where he was going or what he expected, but I’ve learned to remain open-minded and to nod and say YES to most of life’s opportunities.

Even though I was beyond busy with promotional plans for my new book, The Awakened Millionaire, and my new online course, The Awakened Millionaire Academy, I said I would find a way to fly to LA for a single day of shooting.

I did exactly that, too.

The original plan was for me to film about 18 five-minute episodes.

It would simply be me talking to the camera about subjects I always talk about, from the Law of Attraction to The Missing Secret and more.

It sounded quick and easy.

But the day before I was to leave Texas and head to LA — the day before!!! — I got an email from the producer saying they now wanted to film an entire television talk show with me.

He added they wanted to film a dozen full-length shows.

In one day.

They said they were going to have a set, two chairs, and a number of guests take turns sitting in the hot seat. That I was to talk to each, coach each, and help them through a breakthrough — live and on camera.

I’ve done this before, of course, when I filmed the episodes for The Secret Mirror and The Secret Reflection, both online products of mine.

But I’m being told about this change the day before my flight leaves!

But this story doesn’t stop there.

On the morning of my flight (!), as I’m packing my luggage, the producer asked me to tweet a notice to my followers that if they could get to LA, they could get on the set and be part of my studio audience.

That was before I even got to the airport!!

Are you beginning to see how miracles take place?

You prepare for them and intend them, but then you let go for the Universe to take over the details.

And when the Universe sends you your cue to act, you must act, even if it’s the day before or day of your flights and you are already busy doing other things.

This is how my own TV show came into being — within only ten days.

After ten years of incubating, it only took ten days to manifest. 🙂

And yes, we filmed 14 episodes – in one day.

I’m not sure when it will air or what is next, but I remain open, willing, and grateful.

Stay tuned.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS – On the day after my marathon television shooting, I requested an Uber car to take me to the beach. It was time to relax. The driver was an upbeat but struggling reggae musician. He said he was grateful for his life, his family and all he was doing. He smiled big and his heart was open, but I could sense his impatience with his music career. So I told him I was once homeless, had been in poverty for more than ten years, and was now in Los Angeles filming my own TV show. His head reared back and he bellowed a “WOW!” of excitement. I added, “Stay the course, my friend. In time, dreams do come true.”

New book coming in April

Member BBB 2003 - 2016

A while back a delightful woman asked me some questions for an online magazine for Czech readers. She published the exchange at http://www.kofibrejkonlajn.cz/pozitivni-mysleni/36-exkluzivni-rozhovor-muzete-mit-vse-po-cem-touzite-rika-joe-vitale.html I thought you’d be interested in reading it in English:

1. Dear Joe, thank you very much for making this possible. You probably don’t know that but you are successful in the Czech republic too. We know you from The Secret and we have access to the most of your books. I read and I also heard it on one of your audio sessions that you were homeless once and now you have this amazing life and career that people usually dream of. I know that this didn’t happen over night but tell us what was “IT” that changed your life. Was it a person, a book or…your inner voice?

Answer:
People have often asked me what was “it” that changed my life. The right answer is “Everything!” I did EVERYTHING. I read books, listened to audios, attended events, kept working on myself, trying, failing, learning, improving and more. I had to DO IT ALL to become successful. There was no “one” thing. Certain books helped me, such as Claude Bristol’s The Magic of Believing. But largely, it was doing whatever seemed like the right next thing to do that got me here.

2. What were you dreaming about as a child? Do you remember?

Answer:
Oh, yes, I remember. I wanted to be a magician. I was going to be like Harry Houdini, and be famous for my great magic and stunts. I also thought I might be a baseball player, and be known player like Babe Ruth. I also thought about being an author. Since I always loved books, and still do today, becoming a writer seemed like my best bet.

3. I read and watched The Secret, which was the first platform for people in the Czech republic to find out about the Law of Attraction. I started practising the LOA, but I was suddenly afraid of my thoughts, because I couldn’t control them. I also felt that the book was only the introduction to the whole philosophy of the manifestation. There were things that were missing, which left me looking for more information. The “ Action” part was also never mentioned and I felt that only visualizing would not get me too far. If you could list 3 things that people should do every day to manifest all they want in their lives, what would they be…?

Answer:
This is a big question. I think The Secret and other books and movies are just introductions to the Law of Attraction. There’s much more to learn. I have entire courses, like The Missing Secret, and my Miracles Coaching program, to help people understand these deep concepts. If I had to list three things to do, they’d be:

1. State your intention. What do you want?
2. Get clear. When negative thoughts arise, realize they are just thoughts and don’t feed them.
3. Take action. Results are a co-creation of what you do and what the Universe does through others.

4. I read your Hypnotic marketing and hypnotic writing and I have to say it is very powerful. It hasn’t been translated to Czech language yet unfortunately. I hope that it will be soon after we publish this interview.  Where do you get your inspiration for you books? Do you first test everything and then write about it.

Answer:
I get ideas from everywhere. I read a tremendous amount and get ideas from what I read. i also have inspirations and follow through on them, testing them on myself first. If they work for me, I share them with others. I see myself as a scout who rides ahead of everyone, tries out what he sees, and then returns and shares his secrets with others.

5. In our magazine Kofibrejkonlajn.cz (coffeebreakonline –but written in a funny way) we also write about procrastination, work ethic…and so on. You are the author of so many books, you teach, do online seminars, travel the world, you are a musician with 4 albums; it seems to me, that you don’t have a problem with procrastination. Or if you have, you sure know how to beat it  Can you give us some advice or tips on how to be productive? (please tell us also about your daily routine if you have any)

Answer:
This is another big subject. People who procrastinate are doing one of two things: They are either afraid of failure or success, or they are trying to do something too big. In other words, people have unconscious beliefs about success. They may fear it or they may fear the opposite of it, failure. Either way, they will hesitate to take any action to protect themselves.

Also, if people are trying to create a big project, they may feel overwhelmed and stop. They need to break down the big project into little steps; something they can do each day to make progress. I work every day on my goals. I read every day, write every day, exercise every day, meditate every day, and rest every day. Living and doing moment by moment, I achieve massive results. Anyone can do this.

6. As you are a “guru” for millions of people through your work, we think that even a “guru” needs his own  “guru” sometimes. Is there an author or a person that inspires you?

Answer:
I have MANY authors who inspire me, from Bruce Barton and Vash Young to Debbie Ford and more. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain also inspire me.

7. You meet lots of people through your live and online seminars, and they talk about their struggle with money, in relationships, or at work…. what do you tell them? Is that one thing that you want them to always remember?

Answer:
I tell them “This, too, will pass.” In other words, what you are struggling with will pass, what you are worried about will pass. It’s the nature of life to move things along and change them. But you can accelerate that change by focusing on what you want, clearing yourself of limiting beliefs, and taking action. The sun will rise again. It always does.

8. What are you working on now?

Answer:
Numerous things. I have two new books coming out: “The Miracle” and “The Awakened Millionaire.” I have new music coming out, on top of the 15 albums I’ve already recorded. I have an Authorship Program about to be released, to help first time authors get published in 12 weeks. I’m of course always working on my Miracles Coaching program. And most recently I have become interested in strongman feats of strength. I have been bending horseshoes, nails and spikes, and steel bars. I may write a book about it. I’m enjoying life.

9. Would you be interested in coming to Prague to have a workshop or a seminar? Do you travel to Europe often?

Answer:
YES! I would LOVE to visit there. I have been to Europe many times, and love the countries and their people.

Ao Akua,

Joe
