Dr. Joe Vitale’s Blog

My sweet little sister Bonnie — who I wrote The Attractor Factor for — had never heard me speak or ever intended any seminar until this weekend. She flew from Ohio to participate in the now famous first ever Attract Wealth event. She was also captured on film in an intimate moment where she revealed true stories of my life. I’m told it’s hilarious. Pat O’Bryan filmed the ten minute show and you can watch it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au9GXcabp_w or by clicking on the image below. Enjoy.

 Todd Silva and his wife Victoria took us out to lunch last Sunday. Todd is a terrific guitar player and singer, and founder of the movement to inspire people to give away a dollar a day.

He’s a dear friend, too. He used to be my guitar teacher when I still lived in Houston. He and his family took me to events, such as the circus, and to an all-day Peter Lowe success seminar where we heard such speakers as the late actor Christopher Reeves, Colin Powell, Dan Kennedy, and Larry King. (I had no idea at the time that I would ever meet Larry King or go on his TV show twice.)

Todd picked up one of my guitars (the hand-made investment-grade Robert Taylor all-koa wood beauty) and played his original song “Do What You Love” for me.  It was a special moment that I wished I had caught on video. (Check out Todd’s music at www.sagetone.com)

After Todd sampled my guitar collection, he surprised me by handing me a sack of custom made guitar picks. Each has the Zero Limits clearing phrases printed on them.

I asked Todd to hold a pick while I took his picture. (Above. Left click on it to enlarge it.)

When I tried to take a picture of just the guitar pick, though, I got an unusual image.

Todd jokingly (?) said he could see Jesus in it.

I definitely could see Buddha.

What do you see?

  Well?

Does this prove the guitar pick is blasting with energy or was I just standing too close to the pick when the flash went off?

PS — One of the things I love about Todd is his upbeat vibe. He’s doing what he loves. Are you?

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.

  Nightingale-Conant just printed their latest catalog of audios. I’m almost speechless to see that my second audioprogram with them, The Missing Secret, is on the cover of it.

You have to imagine what this is like:

Twenty years ago I dreamed of being an NC author.

Ten years later I recorded The Power of Outrageous Marketing for them, which is still a bestseller today.

Ten years after that I recorded The Missing Secret for them, and it, too, became a bestseller — right down to earning the right to be on the cover of their latest catalog.

These are defining moments in my life. They’ve come to be because I held the dream of being an NC author — and today I am one.

What’s your dream?

 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!!!”  🙂
