On November 20 I held an autograph party for the release of my latest book, Attract Money Now. Despite the bad weather, some people drove hundreds of miles to the Vitale Cigar Room to meet me, talk, and get their beautiful hardcover book signed. It was a wonderful evening.
One of the people who came was a young woman from my local area who I didn’t know. She had some questions. As she asked them, I kept thinking someone should film this, as her questions were sincere and perceptive. For example, she asked –
“What’s the one thing you had to change to keep stretching and succeeding?”
It was an easy answer. In my book, Attract Money Now, I say that your wealth is hiding under the very thing you are afraid to do. Face your fears and you can stretch and succeed.
Another question she asked was –
“As you grow, do your friends fall away?”
I told her yes, they often (but not always) do, but it’s a natural process. People who were best friends of mine at one level of growth just floated out of my life as I changed and evolved. There was no animosity. It just happened as an organic growth process.
She also asked –
“Do you have to learn stocks and bonds, trading, banking and real estate to attract big money?”
I told her no. I don’t know anything about trading or real estate and don’t want to. As I explain in my new book, you can attract more money by doing what you love. It helps to think like an entrepreneur but the key is in following your own passion.
She and I talked for a little longer and then, as more people came to greet me, she wandered off.
But a little later in the evening she returned with an acoustic guitar in hand. I love guitars and had to know what she was doing with one.
“I want to face my fears,” she told me. “I was wondering if I could play a song for you.”
I of course said yes.
My friend Pat O’Bryan was there. I quickly asked him if he would film the performance. He agreed.
I guess I was expecting her to play something soft, easy, and sweet. But this woman fried the room, brought everyone to a stand still, and melted my heart as she sang an incredible aria from an Italian opera.
Her voice was stunning. I got goose bumps as she played. It was heavenly and unforgettable. See for yourself by clicking on the below image:
Her name is Sarah Marie. You can find her music on www.cdbaby.com. She has a myspace page at www.myspace.com/sarahmariesedona
Sarah got past her fear.
All it took was a deep breath and a step forward.
What have you done to face your fears today?

When I was in Poland recently I got to be the only American to see and then drive the Leopard, Poland’s handmade super luxury roadster. It was a thrill. There are only six of these beautiful cars made so far. They are made by hand, with a few men pounding sheets of aluminum with rubber mallets to form the body of the car. This short video shows the amazing car. Note how each person who drives the Leopard comes back with a beaming smile. I haven’t actually ordered the car yet, but I’m allowing it to be attracted to me in some wonderfully unexpected way. Watch the video clip and see what you think:

I’ve been doing at least one Rolls-Royce Phantom Mastermind a month for one year now in my beautiful 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom. In fact, I’m doing one tonight.
That’s where two people pay $5,000 each to ride and talk with me in that luxurious car, have dinner with me and a copilot, and share in a historic evening focused on them.
I’ve had people fly in from Switzerland, Japan and Italy just for this event. I’ve had them bring me Cuban cigars and foreign cash as gifts and tips. Every single evening has been exhilarating and all the people wonderful. I love doing these Masterminds.
But something strange happened in early October.
Suddenly more people wanted to attend these Rolls-Royce Phantom Masterminds. I had to add new dates to the schedule. For December alone I’m doing two or three each week!
I still don’t know why the event is suddenly so popular but I also experienced something even more unique.
One person told me the Rolls-Royce Mastermind was thinking small.
“Do a private jet mastermind and I’ll be there,” he said.
A mastermind on a private jet?
I love the idea!
Another said when my Scorpion hybrid car comes in (see above pic), he wants a private Mastermind with me in it.
Obviously, I love that idea, too.
Yet another person said I should go ahead and get the dream car I want and then offer a Billionaire Bugatti Mastermind.
Do a billionaire mastermind in a Bugatti super car?
I love it!
In fact, Bugatti has plans to build a Bugatti 16C Galibier, a four-seat super car. Perfect for masterminds where speed is a need. Talk about a rush.
All of this made me start to wonder if I really was thinking too small.
I’m the guy who urges people to “Dare Something Worthy”.
I’m the guy who encourages people to “Think BIG!”
But I’m also the guy who needs a little nudge to think even bigger and dare even more boldly.
Why is that?
It’s because unless someone lovingly inspires you to do more, and assures you that you can do it, you probably will stay in your comfort zone.
You’ll just do what you’ve always done.
You’ll just think what you’ve always thought.
If that’s working for you and you’re happy, so be it. But most of us are living Thoreau’s observation: we’re living lives of quiet desperation.
How can you break free?
The best way I know to get out of your mental programming, and comfort zone, and start to achieve and attract bigger, better and bolder results, is with coaching.
Please check out Joe Vitale’s Miracles Coaching, the program that has been running for more than four years now and changing hundreds to thousands of lives.
Meanwhile, if you want to experience the evening of a lifetime, consider The Rolls-Royce Phantom Mastermind.
When I attract the private jet, Scorpion, and/or Bugatti, I’ll let you know.

I was in Warsaw and Krackow, Poland last month. I love Poland. The people are loving and generous, curious and intelligent. One of them drove me to see the Leopard sports car, a hand made limited edition roadster. (I was the first American to ever drive the car.) On the way there he asked me some terrific questions. Here are a few of them: (Picture is from Warsaw event.)
Do you read magazines?
A few. In general, the most accurate news is going to be in books. Newspapers move too quickly to check all their facts. Magazines have a little more time to check sources but still aren’t perfect. Books take longer to research, so tend to be more reliable. My preference is for books.
How do you read so many books?
I do what I call intentional reading. I know what I want when I pick up a book, so sprint through it, looking for the facts and stories. Of course, I’m always looking for the book so hypnotically written that I want to read and savor every word of it.
What was the most difficult time of your life?
Being suicidal in college in the 1970s was no picnic. Being homeless right after that was no party.
What’s the best way to write a book?
I take the advice novelist John Steinbeck told radio comedian Fred Allen: Write whatever comes to mind. You can always edit, shuffle chapters, and rearrange pages later. Don’t force the flow. Honor it.
What’s your dream car?
The Bugatti Veyron. While I’m still waiting to receive my Scorpion (the hydrogen-gas hybrid super exotic car made in Texas), the dream car has to be the 1,000 hp Veyron.
What’s your favorite city in Poland?
Krackow. I felt it to be a healing environment.
How do you attract a person back who left you?
You don’t. You allow them free will. Instead, find inner peace within yourself and the person may sense it and want to be around it. If not, you’ll probably attract somebody more fitting.
Did you put 10,000 hours into learning?
Yes. I wanted to be a writer so intensely that I put myself through a disciplined self-study program that no college could ever match. I studied writing books, author biographies, and more. I did writing exercises. I prepared myself as a writer. Since the Internet is text driven, being a skilled writer positioned me for success. Put 10,000 hours into studying anything and you’ll stand out in that field.
What was the first book you ever wrote?
The first book was a novel. I wrote it in college. I don’t remember the title but I think the tag line was, “When you have no where else to go, you can always go mad.” It was never published.
Did you write anything else?
I wrote numerous things, from poems to plays, before I started writing nonfiction. I wrote a one-act play about writer William Saroyan and saw it produced in 1979. I didn’t make a dime from it, but it was homage to an author I loved and it has always been a highlight of my life.
I love Poland so much I’ll be going back to it for the third time in late May, 2010. (Picture is of my editors for my books in Poland. Do we look happy or what?)

Most people don’t know the legendary circus promoter P.T. Barnum never said “There’s a sucker born every minute.” He was more inclined to say, per the title of my book on him, There’s a customer born every minute.
Most people don’t know Barnum knew how to attract money. He was born poor, made a fortune, lost it, and attracted another one.
Most people don’t know he also gave a talk on The Art of Money Getting. It was a brilliant how-to by a man who knew the spiritual and material approach to life was the only balanced way to be happy, help others, and attract money.
Two friends of mine just released Barnum’s famous talk on audio CDs.
They are willing to give you the audios if you go to the link set up for my readers at www.ptbarnumspeaks.com/mrfire.html or click right here.
Go listen and grow rich.
