1. "Inspired Action" by Joe Vitale
2. Affiliate Program Updates
3. Motivational Tips
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're a business owner who wants to use spiritual
principles to increase the vitality of your business, you
might wish to familiarize yourself with the writings of Joe
Vitale. Joe is a well-known internet copywriting and
marketing expert who, at one time, wrote for new age
publications. Here's an example of his work.
~~ INSPIRED ACTION ~~
An Amazing New Short-Cut to Make All Your Dreams
Come True, by Joe Vitale
Ever since my latest book "Spiritual Marketing" became
a #1 best-seller at Amazon last June, people have been
writing me. Most of the time people are just praising the
book. Sometimes people have questions about the five-
step process in the book for creating wealth from the
inside out. By far the most common question is about
step five, the one called "Let go."
"But what do I DO if I let go?" is the question I get the
most. "If I let go, don't I just sit there?"
What I didn't fully explain in the book is that you usually
still have to do something to achieve your dreams. That
something might be as little as answering the phone. Or
making a call. Or buying a book. Or joining an association.
Or answering an email. I have no idea what that action
will be for you regarding achieving your dream. But you
usually have to do something, however small or large a
step.
But the magic answer to the question of what action to
do next is this:
You want to take what I call "Inspired Action."
Inspired Action is any action you take based on an inside
nudge.
In other words, an Inspired Action is when you suddenly
get a desire to drive to the store. You may have no idea
why you need to go to the store right now. But something
within you is urging you out the door. Follow that hunch.
It may lead you to your goal. At the store, you may meet
the right person. Or find the right product. Or pick up the
right magazine that will lead you to completing your dream.
For example, in "Spiritual Marketing" I talk about how I
managed to get into Nightingale-Conant with my own
tapeset, called "The Power of Outrageous Marketing."
I had tried to get Nightingale-Conant to pay attention to me
for over ten years. (Ten years!) Nothing I did would ever
work out. Yet I was doing all the "right things" people said
I should do -- make calls, send letters, follow a plan of
action, etc.
Nope. None of that ever worked.
So I stopped all that planned action. I didn't stop wanting
my goal of being in the famous Nightingale-Conant catalog,
of course, but I did stop struggling to make it happen. I, in
short, let go. I waited for divine inspiration to tell me what to
do next.
And then one day I started to get emails from someone asking
questions about my book on P.T. Barnum, called "There's A
Customer Born Every Minute." My gut said to answer the
questions. So my Inspired Action was simply to write back to
this stranger. That's what I felt guided to do.
I did. And after three weeks of email exchanges, this man
finally wrote me an email that rocked my world. He said, "I
appreciate all you've done for me. If you ever want your
material considered by Nightingale-Conant, I am their senior
marketing director. Just send your stuff to me."
I still get goosebumps when I think of that email. That
miracle occurred not because of any planned action, but
because of Inspired Action.
So here's how to make Inspired Action work for you:
Step One: As I explain in "Spiritual Marketing," set an
intention. An intention is your declaration about your
dream, or goal, that you want to be, do, or have. This
is your request of your subconscious, unconscious and
universe itself. The clearer your intention, the better your
results. One of my intentions was, "I intend to have a
best-selling audiotape program with Nightingale-Conant."
Another was, "I intend for my 'Spiritual Marketing' book
to become a #1 best-seller at Amazon."
Step Two: Follow your hunches. Listen to your intuition.
If you get a desire to make a plan of action, so be it. Do
it. But if you get a desire to go for a walk, or to watch
television, or to surf the web, then do that. You never
know where your Inspired Action will take you, but
because you set an intention (step one), your intuition
will find a short-cut to your dreams.
Inspired Action works because your ego can only see
limited terrain while the universe can see it all. Your ego
might say, "Write a business plan." But your intuition might
see that that won't work in your case and instead urge
you to do something else, maybe even something strange.
Trust it. Inspired Action comes from the bigger picture,
which you can't always see until you've taken the actions
you're being inspired to take.
Finally, the more you can quiet your mind, still your
thoughts, and relax your body, the more you will hear
the inner voice nudging you in the direction of your dreams.
When it speaks, move.
That's Inspired Action.
Do it and you'll find amazing new short-cuts direct to the
fulfillment of your stated desires. It's an easy path more fun,
more relaxed, and usually more profitable, than planned
action and constant struggle.
Try it and see.

~~ MOTIVATIONAL TIPS ~~
More men fail through lack of purpose than lack
of talent.
- William Ashley Sunday
When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty.
I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I
have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is
wrong.
- R. Buckminster Fuller
Beautiful young people are acts of nature, but beautiful
old people are works of art.
- Author Unknown
Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
- Karen Ravn
Always dream and shoot higher than you know how to.
Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries
or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
- William Faulkner
And so it is!
