Dr. Joe Vitale’s Blog

A group of four marketing and business wizards secretly meet once a month or so.

They talk about ideas, expand and stretch each other’s minds,
and enjoy good food and cigars.

They are four of the sharpest minds ever gathered in one place.

Anyone who sits at their table is swept up in their energy, their passion, their stretching of ideas.

“SIGLO” is the code name for this group of four.

Whenever they want to meet, they send out an email with the subject line saying one word: SIGLO.

I am a member of the group.

I have marvelled at the ideas we come up with, for personal or professional improvement.

Ideas for books…for new products…for expansion…for new ways of thinking, being, doing…

Problems become putty in the hands of this team.

Recently two people paid $100,000 to have two days with just two of the SIGLO team.

They are on the road to making many times that amount.

At our last few meetings, we discussed having four guests sit at the private table with us.

These guests would get our full attention.

We would listen to their story, and offer ways to “out think” it.

As you might imagine, these meetings are inspiring, informative, stimulating, and unpredictable.

If you are interested in being one of the four guests to sit in at a special SIGLO on Nov 17, in Austin, Texas, then write [email protected]

The investment is $25,000 per person.

Obviously, this is for serious minded people who want to be stretched into new ways of thinking and being.

If you just want information, you can read my books or this blog.

If you want personal coaching, you can see www.miraclescoaching.com or www.joevitalementoring.com

But if you want to be one of the four who get to be at our meeting of minds with our focus on *you*, then the cost is $25,000.

You’ll get more than the evening with us.

Besides dinner, you can come in early and have a get acquainted lunch before it.

We’ll focus on you and your needs.

You’ll then get to think about our ideas before coming to dinner and getting stretched and inspired even more.

Our focus is on fun, and out of that fun comes —

Well, there’s no way to know.

Inspiration leads the way.

Nothing is predicted or guaranteed.

But results always follow.

I know this isn’t for everybody, but it’s not meant to be.

If you feel it’s for you, then write [email protected] to reserve your seat at the SIGLO table.

One of the four SIGLO members will then contact you to talk about the logistics.

PS – Since sending out the above invite to my email list, two seats are already taken. If you’re interested in being at the SIGLO table, best to act now. Thank you.

You know you’ve made it when you can hire your favorite singer to perform just for you in your own living room.

About one year ago I hired Michelle Malone, my favorite singer/songwriter, to perform in our home for a few close friends.

 I had her do it again last night. It was a wonderful evening of intimacy and creativity, and I even got to play my harmonica on one song with her.   

I spoke to a sold-out crowd and got a standing ovation here at the AWAI convention in DelRay Beach, Florida.

My message was about following your passion. It was well received but more than a few people came up to me later and asked the same question:

“What if I don’t know my passion?”

I’ve heard it before, of course. I usually tell people what self-help legend Dr. Robert Anthony (author of Beyond Positive Thinking) told me he says when he gets the same question:

“You’re lying,” he says. “You know what you want to do. You’re just afraid to admit it.”

Most of us don’t admit our passion because then we have to take responsibility for not pursuing it.

Being ruthlessly honest with yourself can help uncover your passion.

But what about those people who really don’t seem to know what they love to do?

How do you help them discover their passion?

I often suggest they pretend they inherited a great deal of money or won the lotto.

After you go on a spending spree, buy toys and cars, and travel around the world, what will you do?

Your answer is a clue to your passion.

I told this to one man at the conference while famous copywriter Bob Bly (author of over 70 books and a long time mentor to me) stood beside us and overheard the whole conversation.

The man said he loved gardening but didn’t see how he could make it a “profitable passion.”

I pointed out that he probably knows things about gardening that other gardeners didn’t know; that if he created a product for them, he would make money from what he loves to do.

The man dismissed the idea, saying he didn’t know more than other gardeners.

Bob Bly jumped in, saying he probably knew more than other new gardeners, and that they are his market.

“Forget trying to reach the veteran gardeners,” Bob explained. “That’s not your market. Go after the newbie gardeners.”

This is the same approach Pat O’Bryan has taken.

As he learns marketing, he turns and teaches it to the newbies behind him in class. He’s making money from his passion.

Anyone can do this.

Even you.

You may need some coaching.

You may need a class on the subject: www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1638181

You may need to attend a live event like Pat’s next Un-Seminar www.patobryan.com/unseminar4.htm?a_aid=16d36c70&a_bid=7f41a5e1  

Or, maybe all you need is this blog post.

PS — What would you do if money wasn’t a concern at all? (Be honest.)

These seven pictures are rare. They were sent to me by Elaine, a reader of this blog. The photos are of Steven Tyler of Aerosmith with the 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster he autographed and I just bought. Pictures are probably from around 2004, when Tyler himself put the Panoz up for auction. Neither the Panoz family or the man who sold me the car have ever seen these shots before. Enjoy.

No, I didn’t buy his bed.

I slept in it, though.

So did Nerissa.

Let me explain… 

Yesterday’s post about my managing to buy Steven Tyler’s 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster has brought me a lot of email and comments.  All of it is good, but one email was truly startling.

Turns out Nerissa and I slept in the same bed as Steven Tyler.

When we were in Maui a couple of years ago, we were gifted a stay at a high-end private beach mansion where celebrities paid $4,000 a night to get away from it all.

One of those celebrities was Steve Tyler.

In fact, the entire Aerosmith band stayed there, and they wrote one of their all-time best-selling albums while there.

I’m told he’s a nice guy.

Hmmmmm.

I have Steven Tyler’s race car, I stayed where he and the band wrote an entire album, and I just bought an expensive guitar and a house-rocking amp.

Is there a career change coming?
