PS — Just have to share the good news: Last week I landed a publishing deal for the sequel to the bestselling book on ho’oponopono, Zero Limits. The engaging, amazing, mind stretching entirely new book — continuing with surprises, insights, healing methods, and more — will be out later this year (probably November). Stay tuned!
I don’t know much more than you about Henry Ford, the industrial giant and tycoon who brought affordable cars to the masses in the early 1900s, but I spotted this revealing quote in his 1922 autobiography, My Life and Work:
“The natural thing to do is to work — to recognize that prosperity and happiness can be obtained only through honest effort. Human ills flow largely from attempting to escape from this natural course.”
What an obvious yet startling statement.
It seems to me that most people want to avoid work. They are seeking magic powers or special other worldly favors in order to do just that.
Whenever I offer a Law of Attraction oriented product, the public loves it. Yet whenever I offer a productivity product, they shun it.
After seeing this result over and over again for years, I realized that people want fairy dust and magic wands. They prefer to sit and visualize rather than get up and create something.
Obviously, I’m not against mind power, visualization, Law of Attraction, or most of the other tools and toys we have. They all have their place. They all assist you in achieving and attracting your desires.
But you have to do something in this world.
As Ford noted, we have to work.
“Work,” to me, is following your passion in a way that serves others.
One reason I’ve authored so many books, audios, DVDs, courses and more is I’m not afraid to work.
Yet too many self-helpers say “I attracted my result and didn’t DO anything!”
Come on. You always do something. It may not have been “work” in the sense of extreme activity, or in the traditional sense of expending energy, but you did something to bring about the result. You had to. Life is a co-creation.
I remember the creator of the hit movie The Secret bragging that her movie became a success without her “doing” anything to make it happen.
I found it hard to imagine that she overlooked all the things she did to make the movie get noticed, right down to hand picking 24 guests (including me) to be in the movie — nearly all having a list of fans and followers. They promoted the movie for her, but she did the work of putting them into the movie. She took action.
She continues to take action today, by mailing her list of Secret fans to keep the relationship with them going. That comes in handy when she promotes her next book.
Again, work — or better stated, action — is virtually always needed.
I learned how to work as a laborer on the railroad, starting at the age of five years old. (No lie.)
When I moved to Houston in the late 1970s, I managed to get day jobs as a laborer for temp agencies.
Today I still work, but it isn’t with my back. It’s with my mind.
Because I love what I do, and feel it is my life calling, it never feels like “work.”
It’s far wiser to reflect on what you want to do, and then add the magic amulets, spells and potions to that desire. But to do just the latter, you’ll most likely struggle.
I have no idea if Henry Ford was metaphysical or even psychological. I doubt it. I know he had his own quirky ideas about society, but I’m only interested in his ideas about attracting money.
He sure knew the value of work. He preaches it over and over again in his 1922 autobiography, stating that work is the secret to success.
Businesses today need to become acquainted with Henry Ford’s advice for making money.
I was impressed to see that Ford wanted to build a car that would never break down. (!) He felt true serving was helping a family by building a car they could depend on. He felt one car, that lasted a lifetime, would be the best. No need for planned obsolescence or yearly model upgrades. (Tell Apple that. Or most any other modern business.)
And Ford felt if his car ever broke down and needed service, the manufacturer should take care of the problem, not the owner.
I like this guy.
He also tried electric cars in the early 1900s, but shunned them for the same reason they aren’t ideal today: too heavy and not enough power. (Remember, both Nerissa and I drive electric cars, so I know of what Ford speaks.)
Henry Ford basically felt that if you served people, the money would follow.
His big motivating “why” — the ideal that drove him — was to create a system that kept people employed making cars that the masses would love.
As I am reading his autobiography, a few insightful quotes jump out:
“I refuse to recognize that there are impossibilities. I cannot discover that any one knows enough about anything on this earth definitely to say what is and what is not possible.”
“Everything can always be done better than it is being done.”
“Money is only a tool in business. It is just a part of the machinery.”
“Money, after all, is extremely simple. It is a part of our transportation system. It is a simple and direct method of conveying goods from one person to another. Money is in itself most admirable. It is essential. It is not intrinsically evil. It is one of the most useful devices in social life. And when it does what it was intended to do, it is all help and no hindrance.”
Don’t be afraid to work.
Remember, following your passion isn’t “work” if it’s your passion.
Add visualization and other Law of Attraction mind technologies to the passionate serving of others, and you have a formula for modern day success.
In short, action is the alchemy that transmutes ideas into reality.
I’ll repeat that —
Action is the alchemy that transmutes ideas into reality.
Finally, here is Henry Ford’s creed:
(1) An absence of fear of the future or of veneration for the past. One who fears the future, who fears failure, limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again. There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail. What is past is useful only as it suggests ways and means for progress. (2) A disregard of competition. Whoever does a thing best ought to be the one to do it. It is criminal to try to get business away from another man--criminal because one is then trying to lower for personal gain the condition of one's fellow-men, to rule by force instead of by intelligence. (3) The putting of service before profit. Without a profit, business cannot extend. There is nothing inherently wrong about making a profit. Well-conducted business enterprises cannot fail to return a profit but profit must and inevitably will come as a reward for good service. It cannot be the basis--it must be the result of service. (4) Manufacturing is not buying low and selling high. It is the process of buying materials fairly and, with the smallest possible addition of cost, transforming those materials into a consumable product and distributing it to the consumer. Gambling, speculating, and sharp dealing tend only to clog this progression.
Now get to work.

PS — Remember: Forget money and focus on service. Henry Ford knew this. So did Nick D’Aloisio, 17, who reportedly received close to $30 million for a news-reading iPhone app named Summly that he developed and then sold to Yahoo. D’Aloisio says money was not his motivation when developing Summly. How many more clues do we need that money comes from passion and serving, not greed and manipulation?
As I’m writing this to you, I’m listening to the long awaited sequel to the bestselling music album, Aligning to Zero. This one is called AT Zero. If I say so myself, it’s so beautiful, so soothing, so Divine, that words almost fail to describe the majestic healing vibe of this music.
But I’ll try anyway.
Months ago Guitar Monk Mathew Dixon and I went back into the studio to create a follow-up to our bestseller. The first one came to us through inspiration. We played our guitars as if guided by unseen hands.
How would we ever top that?
So we sat in the studio and made ourselves available to inspiration once again.
We knew each track would be in a certain musical key. Each key corresponded to an energy center, or chakra, we wanted to touch, sooth and activate. We had that much to start with.
But what would come from there?
We didn’t know. We would talk, kick around ideas, try a few things, and then just magically feel the essence of the new music. From there, it came through.
We received the music, played it, loved it and got so into it that we almost didn’t stop playing it to turn off the recorder.
Mathew and I were in awe.
The seven new tracks we created our stunning.
It took months to create this sequel, primarily because of interruptions from travels, illness, and “life.” But we stayed true to our vision. We wanted a second album in the bestselling “zero” series and we would work with the Universe’s schedule to allow it to happen.
And happen it did.
I’m excited to announce that the new album is not only done, but ready for you as a CD or as an instant download right now over at http://www.AtZeroMusic.com
And yes, you can listen to samples of the music there, too.
As before, At Zero is designed to help you feel the essence of life. In fact, it’s designed to help you with a long list of benefits, all listed on the album’s website.
It was inspired by Dr. Hew Len, ho’oponopono, Zero Limits, and the power of healing music.
I hope you see the lessons here:
Having an inspired intention, taking action while allowing for inner guidance, leads to a Divine result.
I’m listening to “At Zero” right now…and smiling.
Check it out at http://www.AtZeroMusic.com
Ahhhhhhhhhh………

Recently four people won flights to Texas to have personal consultations with me.
They were a diverse group, all seeking help with key goals and stubborn blocks, and wanting my assistance in using the Law of Attraction to achieve success.
I was excited to meet each of them as this was my first public chance to prove — on film — a new mind technology I developed would work for anyone, anywhere, on anything.
My new method combines the best of what I already know and teach, but with a new element, and put together in such a breakthrough way that the ending result is almost magical.
I call it The Mirror Technique.™
Last September, I wrote a post here about how you can use a mirror to psych yourself to accomplish something. That’s an old, reliable, proven method to coach yourself for success. (See http://blog.mrfire.com/the-mirror-technique-2-0/)
But I wanted to go beyond that to create a measurable breakthrough in your life.
In fact, I wanted this new method to create breakthroughs for anyone.
Each of the four people who met with me in private got to experience The Mirror Technique™. It was astonishing to see.
I saw people start with a problem that seemed insurmountable, and leave thirty minutes later with it resolved.
Thirty minutes!
All of this was filmed, so the before and after of each person is clearly documented for all to see.
In a couple months, you’ll get to hear all about The Secret Mirror, a product based on the new mind technology I developed for instant manifestation.
I’m proud of it, as it builds on and combines more than thirty years of research and experience. It goes beyond hypnosis (which I’ve practiced since the late 1960s) and beyond language gymnastics (beyond even my own Hypnotic Writing book), and beyond my own work in the four stages of awakening and consciousness.
I’ve never seen anything like it.
You’ll hear about all of this in the coming months.
I’m just sharing my excitement with you here.
Stay tuned!

PS – Here’s a stimulating (and challenging) recent conversation with me on radio about the world as a mirror of your consciousness:
You can now download and read — for free — my latest e-book, The Miracles Manual: The Secret Coaching Sessions. Just go to http://www.miraclesmanual.com/
This 258-page new e-book contains questions from students in my Miracles Coaching program, and my answers. I’ve been doing this for about four years, and I’m always amazed at the in-depth and sincere questions I get.
For example —
* How do you get past fears and negativity?
* How can I turn my spouse around from being so negative?
* How do you handle difficult people?
* How do you make changes directly from the conscious into the unconscious?
* How do you get rid of a block in yourself you can’t even name?
* What is and why is Ho’oponopono so effective?
* What about when it doesn’t work?
* What do you do when all the self-help methods aren’t working?
* How do you move up a level in life to meet new people?
* What is “benestrophe”?
* How do you go from a scarcity mindset to a abundance mindset?
* What can you do to improve your health fast?
* How can you attract a specific person into your life?
* How do you attract your soul mate?
* How do you really attract money?
* How are miracles made?
Great questions, aren’t they?
Over the last few years, I gave the answers to those questions (and many more) in secret coaching sessions I held with students in my Miracles Coaching program.
Many of the best questions, and answers, are now in volume one of a 258-page new ebook called The Miracles Manual: The Secret Coaching Sessions.
It’s pretty eye-opening.
And you can have it.
Free.
I want to help as many people as I can, and I figure giving away this book is another way to do it.
Go here to get the eBook — http://www.miraclesmanual.com/
Expect Miracles!
