Following up on my last post about using the Law of Attraction to attract legendary rock and roll drummer Joe Vitale, I just completed the basic recording for my first singer-songwriter CD, Strut!, where I debut as the world’s first self-help singer-songwriter.

In the studio recording "Strut!"

Strut! features the other Joe Vitale, the world famous drummer who’s played with Joe Walsh, Dan Fogelberg, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Stills, John Fogerty, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Peter Frampton, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Beach Boys, Eagles, Ted Nugent, Peter Frampton, and more! For the first time ever, Joe Vitale meets Joe Vitale!

Strut! also features Glenn Fukunaga on bass. Glenn just completed a tour with legendary singer Robert Plant of Band of Joy and Led Zeppelin.

Strut! is being produced by Rubicon Artist Development, owned and operated by Daniel Barrett, lead singer of the award-winning band, Porterdavis.

Celebrating the recording of "Strut!"

Talk about doing what you love and having a blast!

My new book is out today!

Talk about Instant Manifestation!

When I needed a drummer, I instantly took a long shot and asked the other Joe Vitale. My recording dates just “happened” to be the ones he was available, as he was going on tour the very next day!

Having a clear intention, taking inspired action, and having support, will lead to the fulfillment of your dreams.

What are your dreams?

At Pat O’Bryan’s Unseminar #9, I not only revealed my seven-step secret system for using Hypnotic Marketing and Law of Attraction principles to attract dramatic success, but I gave everyone in the room a free copy of my latest book, Instant Manifestation.

My latest book!

But here’s the juicy part:

The book was published by Pat O’Bryan.

Now, I’ve been published in every way you can imagine, from self-published to print-on-demand to traditional publishing to e-books to, well, you name it. Several of my books are bestsellers. Many are translated into languages I didn’t know existed. There are publishers and agents knocking at my door, wanting my next book.

But I let my next book go to Pat.

When I first met Pat in 2003, he knew nothing about marketing, publishing, the Internet or much else in the business world. He was a successful but broke blues musician.

Pat is sharp. He learned fast, came out with his own products fast, built his own list fast, started his own brand fast, created his own seminars fast, and now started his own publishing company.

If you were wondering if people can actually learn the secrets of marketing and the Law of Attraction and apply them for real world results, Pat is living proof of it.

I’m proud of my latest book. But more than that, I’m a mentor who groomed a student, and that student transformed into my publisher. I’m proud of Pat.

Is life a grand adventure or what?

What are you doing with what you learn?

PS – My new book, Instant Manifestation, will be released October 11. I’ll be hosting a free teleseminar that night to answer your questions. Find out more at http://www.instantmanifestationbook.com

I heard CD Baby’s founder Derek Sivers wrote a book of 40 lessons for entrepreneurs. I found the book, titled Anything You Want. But I didn’t instantly buy it – until I saw the cover.

“Anything You Want”

That’s different.

Something about the playfulness and creativity of seeing the cover photo of a child neck deep in sand, with no title or author name on the front book jacket, intrigued me. I felt I was about to step into a world of no limit thinking. After all, how many publishers would release a book with a cover like that?

So I bought the book. And I love it. It’s a quick read but one that will stay with you. If you only read the principles on page 3 of the book, you’d have enough to work with for the year.

Example:

“Business is not about money. It’s about making dreams come true for others and for yourself.”

Yes! Whatever business you play in should be one you’re doing because you love it and see how it benefits others. You’re in the business of making dreams come true.

“Never do anything just for the money.”

Yes! I’ve been preaching this a long time. Money should never be the focus; passion should be. Follow your passion and let the money come as a result.

“Starting with no money is an advantage. You don’t need money to start helping people.”

Yes! Needing money is often an excuse to delay action. You can start with no money, experience or education. You can start and let the steps unfold. Just begin helping people.

“The real point of doing anything is to be happy, so do only what makes you happy.”

Yes! A trick of the mind is to make you believe achieving something will lead to happiness. Yet the truth is, happiness is in what you appreciate right now.

Sivers has other wise principles in his book. I strongly endorse them and recommend them. Here’s yet another major take-away:

“IF you’re not saying ‘HELL YEAH’ about something, say ‘no.'”

Yes! In other words, when presented with a choice or an opportunity, look for the “HELL YEAH! I WANT TO DO THAT!”

If it isn’t there, pass.

Go read Anything You Want by Derek Sivers.

It’s a “HELL YEAH!”

PS – Derek Sivers also suggests you do what scares you. He’s quick to point out that you don’t need to do what you dread, but you do need to go for the  “HELL YEAH!” – even it makes you tingle with fear/excitement. Read his book for more.  And go do what you know you want to do.

I love the field of neuroplasticity. It’s so empowering. It basically states that your brain can be molded like plastic — and it can be reshaped and rewired by you.

Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz’s latest book, You Are Not Your Brain, written with Rebecca L. Gladding, M.D., is a great example. It’s in the area of what he calls self-directed neuroplasticity. In short, virtually any habit can be changed with the help of the four-step process he explains in his new book. You can now end your self-sabotage or any other poor habits. You can break free.

If you're not your brain, who are you?

I interviewed Dr. Schwartz for my Hypnotic Gold members. This medical doctor, psychiatrist, and researcher exudes high-energy, has deep faith, and loves his work. He was adviser for Martin Scorsese’s film, Aviator, about Howard Hughes. Now Schwartz is helping people like you and me learn to rewire our brains so we can get the results we want and become the people we long to be.

At the heart of his breakthrough approach is the understanding that you are something other than the material. That’s why you can be separate from your brain, mindful of it, and actually rewrite it. Hence the title of his book.

Dr. Schwartz is a man of science, wrote a mesmerizing science-based book in 2002 called, The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force, and yet he is also a spiritual man, and isn’t afraid to say so.

He doesn’t declare where thoughts come from, but suggests some of them serve you and others are “deceptive brain messages.” The latter you can learn to hear but not obey.

I told Dr. Schwartz that in most of my books, such as The Attractor Factor, I call limiting beliefs what he calls deceptive brain messages. Both are thoughts that don’t serve your highest goals.

You Attract What You Believe

Dr. Schwartz explained that in his work with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) patients, brain scans revealed that they were obeying messages firing in their brains that were hurting them. It wasn’t a problem with the patient, though, it was a problem with their brain. With new skills, they could learn to retrain their brains. (Dr. Schwartz wrote about OCD in his first book, Brain Lock.)

But this is true for all of us. Our brains may not always be helping. The message for us is that no matter what the struggle, you can change it. It’s learning how. Dr. Schwartz’s four steps are a universal solution that apply to everything from BlackBerry addiction to compulsive shopping to bulimia to junk food addiction, cheating, procrastination, to how to stop going back to your toxic ex, and more.

In short, here are the four steps:

Step 1: Relabel.  Identify deceptive brain messages and the uncomfortable sensations; call them what they really are.

Step 2: Reframe.  Change your perception of the importance of the deceptive brain messages; say why these thoughts, urges, and impulses keep bother you. (“It’s not ME, it’s just my BRAIN!”)

Step 3: Refocus.  Direct your attention toward an activity or mental process that is wholesome and productive—even while the false and deceptive urges, thoughts, impulses, and sensations are still present and bothering you.

Step 4: Revalue.  Clearly see the thoughts, urges, and impulses for what they are: sensations caused by deceptive brain messages that are not true and that have little to no value.

For the details, you can go to the book’s site (right here) or just get the book from Amazon or wherever you buy books. (It’s also on audio.). The book is a breeze to read, and you can grasp his steps easily. I highly recommend it.

The point is, you can exercise your body, and you can exercise your mind. I’ll call it Brain Yoga for now. This information teaches you to be the pilot of your brain, and not a passenger letting it fly you into walls. Books and research by such neuroscience pioneers as Dr. Schwartz excite and inspire me. They prove that you can have what you want with persistence, intention, and strategy.

That said, what do you want for you?

Are you ready to take action right now?

Ao Akua,

Joe

The real secret to wiping out money problems forever is in nipping them where they are hiding — in your mind.

People who say money isn’t spiritual are living proof of what your mind can do to trick you out of your own good.

Money is neutral.

It’s simply a way to transact business so you can pursue your dreams while others pursue theirs.

The thing is, we have so much baggage around money that we can’t follow our dreams or let others follow theirs.

The real secret to wiping out these issues is to shine the light of awareness on them and replace what isn’t working with what does.

As you probably know, I’m doing my best to help with an ebook I’m giving away over at http://www.attractmoneynow.com

But you might also want to look into the entire course I created on how to unravel money issues once and for all. That’s described over at — http://www.secrettoattractingmoney.com

The Secret to Attracting Money

Once you handle the inner beliefs about money, you are able to attract it and then disburse it where you feel it will help the most.

In the last few weeks I gave away three cars.

The one that I gave away today was one of the most expensive and emotional ones I’ve ever owned. But I let it go.

I’ve also helped family and friends, and causes I believe in.

I’m saying this to get you to realize that once you handle your issues around money, you can do incredible things like help those you care about — including yourself.

I want you to succeed.

I believe in you.

I care.

But I can’t do the work for you.

Please read my book Attract Money Now (gratis at www.attractmoneynow.com) and please consider getting my complete program called The Secret to Attracting Money from — http://www.secrettoattractingmoney.com

It’s a spiritual and practical system for learning how to attract what you need and want.

You deserve it.

And that’s the truth.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS — If you already have the program, The Secret to Attracting Money, consider getting extra copies to give out to others. It’s good karma and feels great. Again, go see — http://www.secrettoattractingmoney.com Thank you. I love you.
