Dr. Roger Jahnke, author of The Healing Promise of Qi, personally taught me two short Tai Chi and Chi Kung routines on my back patio when he visited here last week. You can see (and follow) the whole lesson by clicking this link http://revver.com/watch/847583 or by clicking on the image below. Enjoy.
Singer Michelle Malone playfully asked me if I ever felt like I wanted to give up.
She was setting up her equipment in my living room for her third house party in my home. I was sitting beside her, always eager to spend time with this terrific singer and songwriter.
She asked for another copy of my book, The Attractor Factor, which she likes to read in the van between gigs to stay positive and upbeat. As she held the book, she looked at me and asked the question:
“Do you have a book that everyone loves so much that they overlook your other books, making you wonder why you are writing any more?”
I told her yes, that my book on P.T. Barnum, There’s a Customer Born Every Minute, has a cult like following but a small one. I wished more people would give it a look.
Hands down the book everyone loves by me is The Attractor Factor. Second place is Zero Limits. Third is The Key. But the marketing books are way in the back of the line in popularity.
“Then why do we keep writing new stuff?” Michelle asked. “What’s the point?”
“I’m writing because I have to,” I told her. “I’m writing because I never know when I’ll write a book that will be better than The Attractor Factor and actually become the greatest thing I’ve ever written.”
Michelle smiled and agreed that we have to write because we’re here to write. And by continuting to write, we may one day give birth to something that exceeds all our previous work.
Michelle will have a new CD out in September.
I will have a new book called Expect Miracles out in September.
Why do it?
What’s the point?
When Michelle writes her music, and I write my books, and you do what you love to do, the world is like an orchestra playing the sweetest music ever heard.

PS – Though Michelle had to sprint out of my house to perform later that night in Austin, she made time for a quick ride in my 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster, named Ladybug, formerly owned by rock star Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. She screamed and smiled big as we roared through the neighborhood. She later told me, “My hair ain’t been that tangled since my honeymoon!!!” 🙂

The other night while soaking in the hot tub the idea for a complete wealth plan came to me. I got out, dripping wet, but managed to draft the entire thing. It will be one of my main talks this weekend at the Attract Wealth seminar in Austin, Texas. I’ve never given it before. Never written about it before. Never shared it wth anyone before. But this AAA Plan to Wealth is perfect for people wanting to attract more money into their lives. If you want to be there when I reveal the simple formula, go register at www.attractwealthseminar.com There are ten seats left as I write this.
I’ll be doing a free teleseminar with Craig Perrine on how to find your passion and turn it into profit on Tuesday, May 6th. You can ask me anything you like on the call. It will be about how to get inspired in business to have fun and do well. The theme is Inspired Marketing, the title of my most recent book, written with Craig.
