An important FedEx package arrived today and I found myself thinking, “Gosh, where would we be without this great company?”
It’s even more amazing when you consider the struggles FedEx founder Fred Smith had in the beginning trying to get his company off the ground (no pun intended).
He had such a hard time getting enough cash flow to make payroll that at one point he “raided the family’s trust fund without his sister’s permission.” (He was sued for that.)
For a while, he met payroll by borrowing money from a bank in Chicago that kept him going until one day they refused – “That’s it, Fred. Sorry.”
This is where the story gets rather astonishing.
After being turned down, he was headed back to Memphis with a heavy heart, knowing he would have to tell his employees he couldn’t pay them.
Standing in O’Hare airport, he “noticed” a departure for Las Vegas. He took the company’s last $5,000, jumped on that plane, and, well, the rest is history.
Needless to say, they made payroll and are still here delivering packages to my door.
What happened that day in the airport?
And whatever “it” is, wouldn’t you like to have it, too?
Well, you do… and this is the subject of my newest audio program with Nightingale-Conant – “The Zero Point: How to Enter the Realm of Limitless Possibilities.” http://thezeropoint.info/
You see, Fred Smith needed an answer right now.
He’d done everything he could to make his company a success. He’d put his own money into it, all he had. And it had worked, but he needed to go to another level and had no idea how to do that.
He needed inspiration.
Now I’m not a gambling man in the strictest sense of the word. And apparently, Fred Smith isn’t either, because I understand he hasn’t gambled since.
But that day, he received inspiration, followed it – as bizarre as it seemed to him and later, to others – and it led to him being able to pay the employees who he knew depended on him.
Inspiration works in some pretty interesting ways – if not downright crazy. At least, they can seem so at the time.
Certainly that’s how it felt when I heard the whisperings inside myself to become a musician after spending decades becoming a writer.
And look at what’s happened as a result of my following it…Seven CD’s in record time (okay, okay, enough with the puns).
Where do these ideas come from?
I call it the Zero Point.
For 10 years, I’ve been practicing and teaching about a little known, virtually untapped, awareness we all have inside ourselves.
It’s literally your point of power – the power center of the world itself, a world of miracles and Divinity.
It’s all based on the Law of Zero which is deeper and beyond the Law of Attraction or the Law of Creation.
So let me ask you…
Are you ready for inspiration, too?

Hi Joe

Your posts are great as usual
Can I ask you something?
Do you know where Pat O Bryan is?
He hasn’t updated his blog in such a long time and im concerned about him
Is he ok?
Yes, he is fine; even great. He moved away and is enjoying playing music and living off the grid. I heard from him just yesterday. He sounds happy and having fun.
Thanks Joe

Joe, I am taking inspired auction here. Very inspired action. But I will admit – with some doubts… Anyways… I am asking to meet you and spend some time with you. This been my dream since I was 16 and read your eBook on hypnotic writing, Can you tell me time and place?
Also, what are two other ways for your brother to attract a Corvette? I read about one way in Attracting For Others, but what are the other two?
