Where was this photo of me taken?
On top of a mountain of snow?
On top of the world’s largest pillow?
On top of the “white board” of Zero Limits?
Or?
It’s actually a television studio.
A TV studio is often simply a bare room in a warehouse.
Nothing in it.
Nothing.
With design and construction you can turn it into a believable illusion.
I learned this when actor James Caan gave me a tour of the Las Vegas TV set two years ago. A warehouse is turned into a busy casino with a few props, bright lights and the right camera angles. Acting closes the illusion in your mind.
That studio in LA where my pic was taken may be the place where we film the pilot to Expect Miracles.
It’s part of the magic of Hollywood – to take nothing and turn it into something amazing.
But isn’t that my message to you?
Take a dream and make it reality?
Take “nothing” and turn it into something big?
But let’s start at the beginning….
My recent trip to Hollywood was astonishing.
Except for the last hours before my flight was to leave, where a shocking robbery of my laptop, ipod nano and cash occurred, the entire trip was back to back miracles.
Let me tell you a little about it in the following rambling news report, complete with predictions and statistics…
The supporters for my TV show include Jason Connery, actor, director and son of Sean Connery, and Victoria Schaefer, publisher of several magazines, former TV reporter, and a dear friend of mine. (Both are pictured with me in LA. Left click on any pic to enlarge it.)
There’s also Ricki Maslar, LA casting director, here pictured holding her love, Lucy. Ricki has been a guardian angel and powerful single force for moving the TV show along.
(This is most of the Expect Miracles team, with Joni Patry, our Vedic Astrologer, on the far left. You know you’ve made it in the world when you travel with your own astrologer.)
(This pic is of almost the entire Expect Miracles team, including quiet genius Howard Wexler. Nerissa and Tom Shell are missing in the shot, but not forgotten. We’re standing in front of a map of the world, as that’s what we want our show to reach.)
Ricki introduced me to many celebrities who support my TV show and want to be on it. Here’s Ed Begley, Jr., actor, writer, environmental activist and a truly terrific man. (He’s posing by his electric car with a woman on the street while Victoria takes their picture). Ed’s about as lovable as they get.
(Here’s Ed with me. I asked him to stand beside his electric car to give him some extra publicity. He smiled and said, “You’re smart to have a marketing background.”)
Ricki also introduced me to Dee Wallace, famous actress and ET’s mom. She, too, is a believer in magic and miracles and a walking spirit guide.
(All kinds of stars weathered the pouring rain and cold weather to say hi. Here’s famous stage and screen actor Andy Prine.)
I learned some shocking facts on my trip:
* In one Hollywood studio alone, more than 200 pilots for new shows are filmed. But only five make it.
* In Hollywood, daytime television is a burial ground of shows that air and die quickly. Out of all the new shows that try, more than 95% fail.
(That’s me with actress Allison Lange, star of such hits as the TV series Roswell and CSI. She spends most of her non-acting time rescuing dogs in the LA area. I told her about our Catarium, which she loved.)
I also heard some predictions about the future of television and movies:
(This is actor Ed Quinn, star of the hit sci-fi TV series Eureka. I asked for his advice. He said, “People will tell you LA is driven by money. It’s not. It’s driven by ego.” A wise, gentle soul.)
* In ten years TV as we know it will disappear. It will become Internet based networks where anyone (you or me) can have and air their own TV show.
* In ten years actors won’t be needed for movies. They will be computer generated animahumans (I just coined the word).
You’d think with the above statistics and predictions, I wouldn’t want to pursue a television show of my own.
(Pic is of actress Dee Wallace on the floor playing with Lucy the happy puppy.)
But that’s how you create miracles.
You have a dream, infuse it with loving energy, attract supporters for it, ignore the odds, and take lots of action to co-create it.
The rest is time, patience and trust.
(This pic is of Jennifer McLean, a contributor to my book, The Key. She just created a new audio series called New Spiritual Principles. Very electric lady with a contagious smile.)
I met with agents, distributors, designers, attorneys, actors and more in LA. We will shoot the pilot and then sell it. Our vision is clear and our energy is high. The rest for us now is to take action.
This is true for you, as well.
Have a clear vision.
Complete all the details in it.
Write it out so you feel the energy of it and have the script as a tool to refer back to.
And be sure to take action and maintain momentum.
That’s the recipe for success.
Finally, I mentioned that I was robbed.
(The only celebrity I didn’t meet on this recent trip was Desperate Housewives actress Teri Hatcher. But I know she was just given my books and my new CD set, The Missing Secret, and she’ll be calling me soon.)
When I returned to my room after a very late night at the famous Magic Castle, I discovered my bags had been packed for me.
Someone entered my room, went though my stuff, packed my clothes (literally) and took my laptop, ipod nano and cash.
I was momentarily stunned, of course. I’ve never had a robbery or burglary ever in my life. This was an event “to process”.
I wasn’t upset about it, though.
But friends who heard of the crime were angry.
They each remembered a past event where they had been robbed and felt victimized.
What they felt wasn’t upset about my experience, but upset about their own memory of theirs.
What I mostly felt about the crime I experienced was curious.
I wondered why I attracted it.
I’m the man who says we attract everything, no exceptions. We usually do it un-consciously, but we still do it.
So how did I attract that burglary?
(Pic is of the writers’ strike picketing line outside of FOX.)
It was easy to answer.
Over the last weeks before LA I kept thinking about getting a new laptop. There’s nothing wrong with the one I had and loved, but new ones on the market were making me drool. I didn’t buy it because I talked myself out of it.
But obviously I was looking for a good reason to buy a new laptop.
Same with the ipod.
The ipod nano was given to me as a gift. I used it all the time when working out and travelling. But I remember thinking it was time to get a new one, one with more memory to hold more music. I didn’t do it since I already had a nano.
Again, I obviously was looking for a good reason to get a new one.
But what about my cash?
Surely I didn’t want to lose my cash!
Or did I?
The cash in my luggage was considered disposable income. I tip servers well and often give money away to people who look like they need it or would welcome it. It’s my stash to let go with the wind.
Well, I let it go.
I “gave” it to someone who felt they needed it.
As you can see, there were very real reasons for me to attract that robbery.
After all, other expensive items in my luggage were not taken; only the things I was apparently ready to let go of.
I’m actually excited about getting a new laptop and a new ipod nano and of course attracting more cash. 🙂
In the future I’ll be better about acknowledging my wants and acting on them rather than creating an uncomfortable way to justify them.
But today I’ve forgiven and forgotten.
And I’ve ordered a new laptop and a new ipod nano.
May this be a lesson or two for you, too.
Always go for your dreams and honor your wants.
Ao Akua,
Joe

Joe, you are an inspiration! As I expand my life I am extremely grateful to have role models and teachers like you. I appreciate your generous spirit and your perspectives. I am holding the intention for a movie about veterans and their return home and their emotional healing (telling the story of a program called Vets Journey Home). You have inspired more energy in me to move forward with this intention. Thank you, many blessings to you, Patricia
Dear Joe,
Congratulations on moving forward with your TV show. As with anything in life the stats are always high – but those the continue forward are the ones that break those stats.
Thank you for your insights on your trip – getting robbed and the rain.
I had an experience similar where I helped an older lady out yesterday – who was begging in the rain, I took her to the store bought her some groceries and drove her home and gave her money for her medicine……only to find out it may have been a big scam as two other men were living with her who looked like they could support themselves just fine. During the whole experience I was saying ‘I love you’ – but the getting taken feeling just stayed there. It may take a few days to clear this – but your thoughts on being robbed gave me some insights – so I Thank You!!!
Yours In Kind,
Laura
I recently attracted an unhappy client into my life experience. He was having difficulty writing his ebook and blamed me for not helping him enough. I gave it some thought and then began to work with him in a different way. He has now become a raving fan and I have changed the way I am teaching. We both win!
The part about your robbery resonated with me and helped me through something i am going through. I am a chef who has been challenged for several years building my catering business(until I discovered THe Secret). last year I got an account cooking for a dinner theatre on the weekends. Once Friday, twice on Saturday.
It is bringing in an average of $4000 a month. Yeah my bills are paid and my worries gone.
I was cooking the food in a commercial kitchen near the Theatre. After about 6 months I began to slowly think about how the theatre was taking up a lot of my time and I hadn’t been able to work on marketing my catering business much less take jobs on the weekend which is when most catered events occur. MY dream is to be a pastry chef with a bakery and cafe in the hill country of Texas. During the time with the Dinner Theatre I was not really focusing on this dream. (BTW I run this company alone at this time)
Well the first thing that happened was that I lost the kitchen at the end of December. I have been preparing for the theatre in my home which I could not tell the theatre owner because that’s a no no. I have been feeling bad because I was being dishonest with the theatre owner so I set out on my journey to find another kitchen. All along I have been thinking about how the theatre has been taking up so much time and I wasn’t doing any baking or focusing on what I really want.(BTW again, The theatre is now adding a show on Thursday) so now I’m thinking I’ve got a job. Gads!!!!! How will I ever do any catering and baking. You must know that I cook the same thing over and over and over for the theatre. No room for creativity.
In my search for the kitchen my boyfriend brought up the thought that maybe I should secure a contract with the theatre to assure my income would remain steady and I would be able to afford this new kitchen.
On Monday I brought this subject up to the owner of the theatre and you will never guess what happened.
Yes, he told me he was considering using someone else!!!!! Not because he wasn’t happy with my work but because he was being pressured by his new landlord(who owns my previous kitchen) to use their person. This would put even more money in the landlords(who is a millionare) pocket.
At first I freaked and then I just told myself that the Universe was opening the space for me to follow my real dream. I wouldn’t have done it on my own because I was afraid to lose the steady income. After reading this blog I now feel even more confident that I will be OK. Even Better. Thank you. It’s amazing how the Universe will put things in our lives to give us confirmation when we are not sure.
I know that if I keep believing and practice the Secret principles I’ll be OK.
So Joe, look for the My Way Cafe and Bakery or Sunrise Cafe and Bakery(not sure yet) in the Hill Country where you live
Once again Joe shows us how to turn adversity into something Positive and Constructive.
We can’t wait to see your new Powerful and Inspirational Show.

Joe —
Movin and groovin looks like a lot of fun!
As for your experience with unexpected giving, I had a similar experience recently with my car and received a great deal of insight out of it. When I discovered the broken window, I immediately started laughing because I knew I was going to get a new car stereo, which I really wanted and had been visualizing. I wrote about it here for those who are interested: http://blog.frankbutterfield.us/2007/11/04/open-letter/.
As always — all the very best to you and everyone,
Frank
I was most interested in reading about the robbery that occurred and how you would process it. I was not disappionted in your amazing positive mindset of turning a lemon into lemonade.
I justed ordered a used and older copy of The Seven Lost Secrets of Success. I started to read it yesterday. Now I understand you have a new edition I will have get that one as well.
Thank you for sharing through this blog.

Hi Joe! As for actors being completely unnecessary, sorry love, but it is a ridiculous prediction because Actors are humans with souls. We will definitely be getting rid of our TV’s and in perhaps less time than 10 years, but our desire to observe a human being go through a ‘real’ experience will not fade. Actors broadcast soul essence which is what touches us…they are channelers, at least the good ones are! I think your actor friends whom you met on this trip would be surprised at your prediction that has such total disregard for their art. Imagine if someone said that in 10 years a computer would write your books for you…its just plain silly! There will never be an end to ART, to people bringing forth creative physical expressions of the non-physical.
I love it 🙂 Thank you for your continued openness and ownership of the events and activities in your life. I truly appreciate all of your posts.
I can directly relate to the hotel “stolen” experience. I was in Culver City some time ago the universe gave me the push that I had been unwilling to acknowledge when my luggage, clothes, jewelry etc. were stolen and I realized that I had been putting off buying new clothes. There was several deservingness issues that I discovered as I processed the event.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Kira

Joe,
I would love to know more about miracles coaching, however, is it expensive? I have spent all I have on recent ebooks by you and Brad Yates and Bob Doyle nad have depleated any extra I have. I really would love a miracle. I am a fairliy new student to this way of thiinking. Tell me more. You will love this: We too have been wanting something new….a vehicle, however we do not have the funds or credit to buy another at this moment. Well, guess what has been happening to our old one. Yep! you guessed it. It keeps falling apart. It stays in the shop alll the time. I am excited to see how the new vehicle will be provided. I suppose this story goes along with the story about your recent robbery in LA.
Wow Joe!
You never cease to amaze me with your perspective.
The same thing happened to a dear friend of mine, who recently was robbed and they took a computer (and only the computer) from her home, and after she asked herself “how did I attract this?” the answer came to her that she had wanted a newer and more powerful computer, and now she had “a reason” to buy one.
I believe we DO attract everything in our lives, and when “seemingly disappointing” stuff happens in my life, I ask myself (even for a brief moment, for now… I’m getting better at it) “how did I attract this?”
This puts us smack in the middle of CREATING our own lives…
…which might be scary and empowering at the same time.
It’s amazing to KNOW this, and I always tell my own clients that we’re creating the life we’re living now… how about making it the life YOU WANT TO CREATE!
Again, thanks for sharing, my friend.
Cesar
Ahh – Dr. Joe, You did it again! I was pondering the same questions regarding some events happening in my life…and along came your email! Wow, talk about timing and the Law Of Attraction!! Isn’t it exciting to consciously observe these processes taking place? I look forward to watching your show, “Expect Miracles”..thanks for all you do in this world! 😉
Christina
P.S. I live near L.A. and love rain – it’s cleansing nurturing energy:grin:
Joe-
I love you! You Rock.
Peace.

Fantastic insight on the burgaling, Joe – and congratulations on the show! I know many folks who like to refer to money as currency because it fascilitates the flow of intention faster than anything! Very funny!
A million blessings on Expect Miracles, and on you too, Mr. Smiley Fire! Welcome to Hollywood!
😯
Joe,
Best wishes for the pilot but it already appears to have given given you an abundance of fantastic-miracle moments, good times, connections,inspiration to share, and a few new tech devices to enjoy. How Perfect!
Your explaination for attracting the robbery is perfect. I understand. About 7 years ago I was hit head on by another car crossing my lane, incurring 5 subsequent surgeries- life changing. I finally figured out the role I played in creating that one, a similar story in nature to yours. I was in a job that I didn’t want to do anymore and could not talk myself into leaving, eventhough I needed the money. Well I haven’t worked since and have been generously supported by insurance funds. During this hiatas, I have learned sooo much, perfect support for me.
Your story today, caught me in a moment of feeling less than and offered me the inspiration that I dearly desired to hear, PERFECT. Thank you, I love you, Mary
Now I’m creating my”Terry Hatcher” vision.
Hi Joe,
As always, your writing comes alive with your vivid story telling. Your Hollywood adventures are a good metaphor for marketing. Having spent years there from failing as a stand up comic (I had two problems, first, I wasn’t funny, second, I didn’t know I wasn’t funny) to hosting and producing TV & Radio programs, writing and other misadventures.
I got to hang out with a lot of celebrities, big shots, etc. Everyday was a different studio or sound stage. My offices at one point were at Universal Studios. What I didn’t learn then was how I failed to MARKET myself on a wider net. The Internet wasn’t around then, so it was person to person and PR. I could have issued a press release a day or used my positioning to advance. I did not realize it, but hey, I was younger.
None of those big names brought me fame, but had I but known the simplest marketing techniques or the practiced what I’d read from “Think And Grow Rich,” my life would have been the richer for it.
Today we have your training and many of us have used it and that of others to better understand our positioning and marketing platform. The power of the mind is like the power of the mine that is rich with gold. All we have to do is arrange for the mining, even if we just hire others to do the digging!
As always, I appreciate your amazing training and inspiration.
Best wishes,

hi joe, I love that you’re able to see life this way.
I have a question for you…how do i manifest money now. I’m in need of $15,000 yesterday and i would like to find out a proven way to attract this money now.
Ps. do not tell me to give money away because i have none at this moment 🙁
please write soon thanks for your time
Angela Skinner, Ps I love you and thank you:lol:
:smile:Hi Joe, It has stopped raining now in Hollywood, come on back, the sun is out & beautifully clear.Great figuring out the mystery of the robbery. (i also immediately ask myself the reasons for things I’ve attracted, often so I can get more of the “good stuff”) I sent a short story to Suzanne (Miracles show) and suggested that you include a “daily Miracles” in your show. Would be happy to help you out here in Hollywood, as I’ve lived here 20 years.

Hey Joe,
Well said. I really like reading your perspective when it comes to the circumstances you have attracted into your life. I especially enjoyed the blog you posted about your pool being damaged when you came home from a trip.
More recently I had come home and my wooden fence was damaged. All I kept thinking was how I wanted to have more open space in my yard – so the fence is now damaged and will create more space. I love it!
Your awesome; keep being the light for others.

You go Joe!
No matter how your TV show evolves it will be a global blessing.
A month ago I said something to a neighbor about leaving her dog out in the cold and the next morning all of my tires were slashed. hmmmm. that evening someone asked me why I attracted such viciousness. People expressed all sorts of strong reactions to my news. I shrugged.
The dog is left out less in the cold and I have a new set of tires.
I had just been thinking the day before that I wished the leaky front tire would just fix itself. Now they are all new and require none of my attention.
Isn’t it exciting that we create our own experience?
Oh yeah, and the mechanic who fixed my car gave me a free tank of gas and a deal on the tires. He was clearly pleased to give such a generous gift. The friend who drove me back and forth talked about the recent loss of his elderly father and put to rest some emotional pain he had been carrying around since childhood because we had time to talk. Blessings all around.
Next time it rains on our parade we can appreciate the silver lining.
Imagine the Possibilities!
Kristin S. Kopp
:cool:THANK YOU DR. JOE!
Wow, what synchronicity with your blog today! I just had bank fraud on my account last night and wondered how I attracted it. I looked for some hidden gift in this scary ordeal. So, I went into the bank to open up new accounts and was offered a refinance on my second mortgage and a much lower rate. The hacker guy never got the money and I ended up saving a ton of money each month on my mortgage. Again, next time I’ll just call the bank when I hear the interest rates are diving, but I get so busy that I needed a shock to get me into the bank to get things done. Thanks, Joe!

It is so refreshing to read your words from the mind be filled with forgiveness and compassion and doing what we all need to do and what you have taught me, since I first became aware of you from The Secret. We are all responsible for our own lives and blaming only hurts ourselves.
I am looking forward to seeing Expect Miracles and I WANT TO SEE your show up here in Canada.
“I’m sorry.”
“Please forgive me.”
“I love you.”
“Thank you.”

Thanks for your awesome love of life Joe!!!! Guess I’m not the only “sane” one when it comes to getting “robbed” I have been told I’m insane for not getting upset in the past about getting stolen from. “I simply say.. I guess I didn’t need it as much as the other person did and I hope it brings them many true blessings”
People tell me you can’t just let people walk all over you, and I reply, “Some tread lighty with great care and some tread heavliy with no care on the earth, but she is strong enough to be allowing of everyone to be themselves!”
Joe, thanks for sharing your insights on the robbery along with your good news about the TV show (which I am looking forward to watching). I’ve attracted several situations to me in recent years, situations that had me wondering why I was the “victim” of such bad luck. 😥
Since beginning my study of the LoA in 2007 and now Ho’oponopono, I’ve been revisiting these experiences in my mind and reframing them with a new perspective. I can clearly see NOW where I’ve attracted these situations into my life in a backwards attempt to force me to acknowledge my wants. 😯 Some of these situations were pretty heavy, mind you, far heavier than “just” being robbed. I’m not downplaying the seriousness of your situation by any means, but my situations involved irreplaceable loss through deaths on more than one occasion and I now understand that I did indeed attract the situations to myself.
After reading your post today, the perspective has become even clearer. I, too, plan to move forward and “be better about acknowledging my wants and acting on them rather than creating an uncomfortable way to justify them”. 🙂
Peace,
Jeanne

Dear Joe,
I can’t wait for this show.. Will it be shown in EUROPE as well? Hopefully it will be on Dutch TV!! That would be awesome.. I really loved your insight about your Laptop and other gadgets.. Hopefully the one who took it, is happy with it.. You got yourself a new one.. and you attracted it.. Maybe not in the way you would had most liked but in the other hand… Now you made someone very happy.. LOL (Sorry, I’m just seeing this infront of me)
Anyway, I just wanted to share a little story about attracting here.. Regarding what is going on here.. With me..
Already for a couple of years I have this amazing plan, this idea to start 4LifeSuccess University.. I see it pictured in my mind; the location is a castle with outbuildings, tree houses and cobb buildings. It’s a place where people can come to stay with their Family, Friends, Company to enjoy and have fun, but also to meditate, to attent seminars and stuff.. It’s meant to increase global awareness, consciousness and to show that we can do it different.. and better… with more love, fun and enjoyment..
Anyway, recently I was pointed at something to invest in, and as far as I knew it was a program which already was closed.. But out of the blue, I got an email saying; Hil, you can do this, if you hurry up you can have much advantage of it.. So I stepped in and you know what.. Yesterday I got notified that they will pay out very soon.. Which will mean that 4LifeSuccess University is about to arrive at the Third Level of Manifestation! What a miracle ha? The second thing; I had to call a potential business partner in South Africa.. At first I thought.. hmm South Africa, well that country we don’t do business yet.. what’s the point..
But at some point, I felt that I should call and explain that to the Pot. Biz Partner, so I called.. And.. Guess what… We had a conversation for at least an hour, they run their own Personal Growth Radio show on the largest radio station in South Africa, they want to open up South Africa with 4Life Research, they are organizing a Large Health & Wealth Event on March 8th in Cape Town… And I’ll be there.. Presenting 4Life Research and upfront presenting the StickMan & the Terrobarrier as a LifeSuccess Consultant.. And we are looking at 3-400 sign ups to write at march 8th.. Because the seminars and presentations are meant to draw sponsors for Network 4Life, their Charity Network that is giving to South African Children…
ISN’T THAT AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL? I AM BOMBARDED WITH MIRACLES ALL OVER THE PLACE.. AND I LOVE IT..
Thank You So Much & I Love You for Being a Part of My Reality…

Hi Joe!
You’re cooking baby! I realized that I’ve attracted some negative things in my life and I’m changing my ways so as not to attract them anymore. It’s cool the way you figure things out!
All the best,
Rico
HIya Joe,
You attract alot of Jeannies! 😀
Blessings on the show moving forward.
Thanks for sharing and being our way showe-er.
I Love you, Thank you!

Hi Joe!
I’m thrilled about your upcoming show! It sounds like it would be perfect for Oprah’s new network, OWN. Have your people contacted her people?
Isn’t it funny how the universe grants our wishes? I’ve had similar experiences. However I can’t figure out how I attracted my house burning down & losing everything!
By the way, as a server, I’m glad to hear you’re a generous tipper – I need customers like you!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
I feel privileged to have been a witness to the expansion and miracles in your life over the last five years! You and your energy are dynamic and legendary.
My checkbook bears this phrase above the signature line:
“You and your miracle are about to meet!”
I have met many miracles along the way, including you!
Thanks for the Inspiration.
Thanks also to Jennifer McLean for the vibrancy she brings to my life.
Be Blessed,
Robin
Joe, yesterday was fascinating. Your stolen laptop incident became a strand in the rope when my wife, Linda, and I were shopping yesterday, two street thugs stole her purse. We got video of them but they got away. We went to see the Danny Gans show at the Mirage and decided to keep living. Everything is perception.
and we choose to attract love. I wonder what size the robber’s shoes were, I’d like to wear them and think about how he feels.
We love you,
Stage Hypnotist & Linda Simone
😉 A great teacher instructs by modeling their practice of the principles they teach; and you, paisan!, are a great teacher.
Walking us through your processing of the burglary was invaluable to me.
The insight that the emotional responses of those who care about you were actually (and innocently) a response to memories(aka stories) of their own events, I found very useful to ponder. Still do.
The human personality is a creation that I marvel at, including my own!:lol:
(See http://www.yourchaplain.com/yourspirituality.htm)
MANY THANKS, Joe.
Lovingly,
Lauralyn
😀 That’s a fantastic lesson in really being clear about what you want and getting into action. I hope your new laptop and iPod bring more of the good stuff your way. I recently attracted a $3500 guitar and it’s brought many unexpected gifts / lessons my way. Good luck!
Joe
Do you think you will ever write a book about how to write a book and get it to become a best seller on amazon and the new york times? like you have managed to achieve with countless of your books?
I know your probably like crazy busy with interviews, flying here there and everywhere, staying fit, playing the harmonica, playing the guitar, polishing Francine 😉 but if you ever get time.. would be great if you did a book on the steps you take from initial inspired idea through to completion.
Heck I would interview you over the phone if you dont want to write a book :)… 30 mins later … Ala carte instant Audio Product :), 24hrs later.. Transcribed PDF ebook
Anyway.. peace bro.. Blessings to you and yours!
Jon
Jon, I’ve already done this. Been selling it for years. But the basic formula is easy: create an offer few can refuse and ask other list owners to support you in the campiagn.
joe
Good luck for your show Joe. And certainly, I wholeheartedly agree that we do attract all that happens to us, so I appreciate your story and how you connected the events to your unspoken thoughts. It’s a good indicator: be careful what we think.
On the same theme of creating whatever we want, often times it is the courage to dare that is needed. I’m a reader of James Brausch blog at http://www.JamesBrausch.com and he regularly enthuses that anyone can get what they want, in business or otherwise, only determination and following a plan is needed.
Once again, thanks for sharing your experience

Good Morning Mr. Vitale!!!!
Heh, its warmer here in “winterpeg” this morning. It’s only -27 degrees C. The last week its been -45 with the windchill. Anyway I wanted to follow up from my e-mail on New Years Day. I had just finish the Attractor Factor and questioned why I attracted 2 jobs when all I want to do is my website. I finally figured it out. dah! I’m unconsciously worried about our money situation and attracted these two positions. I was just starting the 30 day test. I’ve had a few days where its been tough staying “clear” but I’m working on it. To make a long story short I took one job 2 days a week and post-poned the decision on the other position. My focus this month was to find a way to pay for the website. I decide to buy Adobe CS Web software and started a course on Dreamweaver. It beats paying a web designer $10,000 to do it all. It’s not that hard and I can probably do over half of it myself. Anyway, 1/2 way thru “the e-code now and REALLY looking forward to you TV show. Keep it up …. you’re really making a different 😀
Congratulations on your new venture “Expect Miracles” – Fantastic title too!
Best Wishes,

One more time Joe manages to put a smile on my face when I did not feel like smiling.
I have been cranky for the past month trying to revive my 2 year old (and $2500.00) computer, that just stopped working. I have spent countless hours doing all the test I can think of and even at the repair center they told me that the repair is so costly that they would recommend buying a new system. I could not believe it, my extended warranty expired 3 months ago. Why this did not happen before?
After reading your post, I had to admit that I was secretly wanting to upgrade my computer with the new Intel processor ones, but I was just telling myself that my computer was a very good one and that it still had a lot of power and selling this one to upgrade it was not necessary. specially since I had to put more money (that I did not have) on top.
Well, apparently the Universe agrees with me having a new one. I just got a freelance that will cover the cost of my new one.
This time I’m really thinking: “Be careful what you wish for”. For good or bad, it really works. Now I’m even looking forward having my new computer. (I’ll name it Joe, if you don’t mind).
Thanks, I love you.
Joe, I got up today and went downstairs to my office and my computer (semi new) was fried….. toast. I lost all of my pics, documents, articles, personal financial info, and countless other things I’m just starting to remember. I know everything happens for a reason (LOA) so I’m thinking that maybe I was getting too comfortable with my articles and not growing enough. My family pics are the only thing I will really miss but maybe it’s another sign telling me to get the book out and get to the next income level so I can move my whole family here to be with me! You can always find the bright side to any incident if you think hard enough.

Joe,
Do you realize the kind of enlightenment it takes to be robbed and actually feel grateful?
It’s no surprise to me, my friend that you have soared and shall continue to do so.
You teach by example, again, as I said to you after the meditation in Maui!
You ARE the real deal, Joe… !!!
I want to take this opportunity, once again.. To THANK YOU… for the ENORMOUS difference you have made in my life….
Thank you Joe
NAMASTE
