Dr Joe Vitale's AAA Plan to Wealth - The Key to Attracting the Money You Want

Recently, one of my mentors, Dr Joe Vitale held an "Attract Wealth Seminar" where he revealed his "AAA Plan for Attracting Wealth". Dr Joe Vitale created the seminar in recognition that many people are currently experiencing tough times financially.

He covers a lot of ground in this 48 minute presentation including how to:

~ Conquer limiting beliefs that stand in the way of what you desire,

~ Attract wealth or anything else you want or need regardless of the situation you're currently in, and

~ Unlock the 'missing secret' to getting what you want in life.


The truth is wealth is a mindset and so without the right mindset you will never become wealthy or if you do you'll find that your new-found wealth quickly slips away.

As Brian Tracy says:

"The starting point of all riches is the development of a prosperity consciousness. You must become a financial success in your thinking long before you achieve it in your reality. Both poverty and riches are the result of a state of mind, and the most important single step you ever take on the road to wealth and financial independence is the decision to change your thinking, to impress into your mind an unshakable belief that youcan and will achieve your financial goals. This must happen before anything else happens."

Dr Joe Vitale who was once homeless and destitute has asked me to share his presentation. If he can turn his life around it is proof that anyone can.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the presentation and or share any challenges that you might be facing at this time.

The Secrets to Successful Networking - Create an Endless Stream of Referrals, Generate New Clients, New Business and Put More Cash in the Bank

~ Do you attend events, seminars or even parties and feel awkward when trying to make contacts and friends?

~ Is your business growth at a standstill despite attending numerous events and seminars?

~ Do you collect people's business cards and then don't do anything with them?

~ Would you like to turn complete strangers into lifetime referral partners?

~ Would you like a steady stream of endless referrals?

~ Would you like to dramatically grow your business?

Then my next teleseminar is definitely for you.

I have lined up an exclusive interview with an expert in relationship networking. He's so hot on networking that those who know him best call him the "Networking Ninja".

His name is Hal Coleman. He lives in Atlanta and operates an extermination business. I know - not everyone's cup of tea but he ensures that your home and or business is free from creepy crawlies and other pests. The thing is he has built his company from the ground up.

Hal started out as a one-man-with-a-spray-can but now runs a million dollar business. And he built his company on the back of strategic, dynamic and highly effective relationship networking. In other words, much of his business is by word-of-mouth and referrals and this you know is the most effective form of promotion.

In fact, I got to know Hal through someone I consider to be one of my mentors, Mike Stewart - the Internet Audio and Video Guy. Mike uses Hal success story as one of his case studies and so I've seen his image and heard his voice numerous times.

And you know how it is when you've seen someone in the media numerous times, you almost feel like you know them. Well, I did get to meet Hal in person recently and when I discovered he was a networking expert I was keen to interview him. He very graciously said yes and so I'll be interviewing him next Monday.

Just today I was chatting to an acquaintance who I haven't seen in quite some time. She was telling me that she attended a three-day event recently where lots of people were handing out their business cards, leaflets, etc. but that she didn't feel inclined to do 'business' with any of them because of the manner in which she had been approached. Mmm - interesting…

I had a similar experience recently where I was having dinner with some colleagues and one of them just handed out his business cards as though he was dealing a pack of playing cards. I didn't feel inclined to get to know that person further.

So just how do you approach individuals at events so that they will actively want to develop a relationship with you?

This is one of the questions that I'll be asking Hal. And, trust me, I will be probing him to extract as much from him as possible in the time we have available.

So if you would like to learn the art and science behind turning complete strangers into lifetime referral partners then I urge you to sign up for this teleseminar.

Discover the Secrets of Effective Network Marketing

Hal has over 20 years of experience of networking in groups such as The Local Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Business Principles, Power Core and BNI – "The world's largest referral organization". He knows what works and what doesn't.

On Monday, I will be gently persuading Hal to share his tried, tested and proven methods to build your list of referrals and, in so doing build your income.

So here's the link again to register for the interview:

McDonald's and Subliminal Advertising? Surely Not! You be the Judge

Last year McDonald's was accused of using subliminal advertising in one of the Food Network's most popular programs - Iron Chef.

The Food Network said it was a mistake and McDonald's, one of the sponsors of the program, said that it does not use subliminal advertising. You be the judge. Watch the YouTube video below.



McDonald's and Subliminal Advertising?

Click the link above if you cannot see YouTube video.

Now, just what are subliminal messages and why would an advertiser want to use them in the first place.

The word subliminal is derived from two Latin words - "sub" meaning under and "limen" meaning threshold. Hence subliminal literally means "below threshold" and subliminal messages are messages which are below the threshold of consciousness.

Subliminal messages are programmed or engineered in such a way as to by-pass your analytical, decision-making conscious mind. They directly target your more easily influenced and receptive sub-conscious mind.

Now, don't think for a minute that because the sub-conscious mind is easily influenced that it is weak - quite the opposite. It is all-powerful and it drives everything we do. Are you beginning to see the importance and potential impact of subliminal messages?

The use of subliminal messages was actually banned by the US Government in the 70s because of reports that they gave "individuals too much of an edge".

Subliminal messages can be in video or audio form. An image flashed on a screen for a fraction of a second will not be interpreted by the conscious mind but the sub-conscious mind processes millions of bits of data each second and the information contained within that quick flash is interpreted and recorded. This process repeated over time, even a short period of time can lead to behavioural changes as the following example illustrates.

Dr James Vicary conducted an experiment in a cinema. It involved flashing "I want popcorn" and "Drink more coke" on a movie screen for just 100-milliseconds.

No one in the movie audience consciously saw the messages but popcorn sales went up by 57.8% and coke sales increased by 18.1%. How do you like dem numbers?

We all use persuasion techniques. It's necessary for our personal and professional survival there is a difference between persuasion and manipulation as Persuasion Expert, Dave Lakhani, points out:

"There's only one true difference between true persuasion and manipulation…it's intent. If your intent is to harm someone, if your intent is inwardly focused and you only want to do something for your own personal gain regardless of the outcome for other people, regardless of what happens to other people then, you're being manipulative.

"If, on the other hand, you help lead people to their very own best conclusion using honour, integrity, ethically and appropriately leading them that way, then they persuade themselves. You don't have to use the puppy dog close, the sharp angled close or anything else. You help people through their experience with you to come to their very own best conclusion"


I use subliminal messages all the time to enhance my own personal development. I also create customised subliminal MP3s and CDs for my coaching clients.

I'm all for the use of subliminal messages when they are used for good and when they are used with an individual's consent. But I'm against the use of subliminal messages to manipulate another individual to do what you want.

Millions probably saw the Food Network show with this particular ad but very few were probably consciously aware that they saw the ad. And, of those that did literally see red, few were probably actually aware of its true significance.

Thanks to Dave Lakhani who drew my attention to this unethical use of subliminal programming. He has just published a new book called
Subliminal Persuasion: Influence & Marketing Secrets They Don't Want You To Know.

I haven't read the book yet and so cannot review it but I can say this. I regularly listen to Dave's teleseminars and interviews because they have such great content. Dave is extremely articulate and knowledgeable. I therefore have no qualms about recommending his book because I am confident that it will be a great read.

He is offering some very targeted bonuses for purchasing this book including a private teleseminar where he will reveal the latest subliminal persuasion techniques. You can discover more by reading his Subliminal Persuasion Blog.

So once you get the book forward a copy of your receipt to persuasionbook@boldapproach.com and you'll receive instructions for the teleseminar. If you've ALREADY purchased the book, and don't have your receipt just send an email that includes the first word on page 114 of the book.

Success Strategy - a Lesson From the Turkish Grand Prix - Build on Your Strengths

Lewis Hamilton made a critical decision in yesterday's pole position shootout.

He later said he regretted his decision but I believe that he was being too hard on himself and that his comment was a result of him being bitterly disappointed at not gaining P1.

During Q3, Hamilton made the decision to switch to the harder Bridgestone tyre. At first, I was flabbergasted and the commentators too expressed their surprise. You see the softer Bridgestone tyres were allowing for the faster times and in Formula 1 every 1/100th of a second counts.

Plus I had flashbacks to last season to the race in China when Hamilton was left languishing on the track with badly degrading tyres which were obviously causing him to lose speed. It was said his engineers were indecisive about which type tyre to switch to.

At the time I wanted to scream at them "Any - so long as they're new!" For indeed, Hamilton outcome for that particular race would surely been a more positive one had he simply been given fresh tyres when he needed them. It was a mistake which, even today, I cannot fathom.

So back to yesterday. Despite Hamilton sentiments I don't think he made a mistake. When I understood the rationale for his decision I was impressed by his courage.

Bridgestone's medium compound tyres may have been producing the faster times but Hamilton had been struggling a little with the softer tyres. His Q2 time, by his own admission, was terrible. So for Q3, Hamilton opted for the harder tyre.

He completed the lap in a time of 1m 27.923s - a time good enough to earn him P3 and not the coveted P1 position. He was outclassed by his teammate Heikki Kovalainen (1m 27.808s - P2) and Ferrari's Felipe Massa (1m 27.617s - P1).

This is Massa's third consecutive pole position at this circuit and, on the previous two occasions, he has also gone on to capitalize on his pole position and win at the Istanbul race track. He seems to have a natural affinity for and feels very much at home here. In fact, he boldly stated:

"I own this race track."

Now, while Hamilton may have been beaten by two drivers you have to take into account the drivers he beat to get to the second line of the grid, drivers which include the reigning world champion, Kimi Raikkonen, and this season's much-improved Robert Kubica.

Who knows what may have happened had Hamilton stuck with the softer tyres? But the truth is that Hamilton drove the hell out of those harder tyres. He identified and played to his strengths.

This is something that, in the quest to achieve our own goals, we often ignore. We focus on and try to improve our weaknesses. The latter is important to a degree because some weaknesses, if not corrected, will definitely be your Achilles' heel but generally you will achieve greater success if you focus on and build your strengths.

So what are your strengths? What are you really good at? How are you maximizing your strengths?

Remember, where possible to achieve maximum success let others take care of those tasks that fall into the category of your weaknesses. Build on and play to your strengths.

The Secret to Achieving Your Goals - Commitment

The secret to achieving your goals is commitment - something which is straightforward but not always easy to do.

Writing down your goals is one act and demonstration of commitment. You are clearly saying to yourself and the universe, "This is what I want".

Plus, the simple act of writing down your goals vastly increases the chances you will actually achieve those goals? Yet, relatively few people actually write down their goals.

So what stops people from writing down their goals and, in some cases, from even speaking their goals out loud?

The answer is FEAR.

In many cases they are afraid that they will not be able to achieve what they have said they wanted and so they prefer to yearn in secret.

Eventually, even that desire fades away as they slip into a mundane and routine existence.

They were right. They didn't achieve their goals. The goal was impossible to achieve. Or was it?

While it's true that writing down your goals helps you to achieve them, it is by no means a guarantee. When people fail to achieve their goals it is often because they were not absolutely committed to achieving those goals.

Without that absolute commitment then your goals are nothing more than empty promises and false hopes. There will be no actual plan of action to achieve your goals.

However, when you truly commit yourself to achieving your goals you redefine the meaning of impossible.

"All things are possible until they are proved impossible - and even the impossible may only be so, as of now."
Pearl S. Buck

Here's an example that demonstrates what it means to be absolutely committed to achieving a goal.

In 2000, Robert Allen accepted a challenge to raise $24,000 on the Internet in 24 hours. Nowadays, that would be small change to the top Internet marketers but it remains, nonetheless, a respectable challenge; even daunting for some.

This is how Robert Allen went about it. His first step was to contact his marketing and Internet mentors and this is how he presented his challenge to his mentors:

"Suppose you have a goal to make $24,000 in 24 hours using the Internet. Suppose it’s more than a goal - suppose, your life is on the line. If you succeed, you get to live. If you fail, you face the firing squad."

Do you think these mentors were committed to come up with a solution? You bet they were.

The result was that Robert Allen made $94,532.44 in 24hours and it didn't stop there, the money kept pouring in.

Remember the following if you have set yourself a tough goal to achieve:

"If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals."
Robert Conklin

However, there is one other secret ingredient to achieving your goals. It is desire. You have to truly want your goal. Without desire you will not be motivated to achieve your goal.

You have to have a burning passion for it otherwise you will never commit to achieving it.

"Desire is the key to motivation, but its determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek."
Mario Andretti

What goal will you irrevocably commit to achieving?

As James Womack said:

"Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality."

To Achieve Success be Prepared to Take Risks

To achieve success you cannot afford to be risk adverse.

On Friday morning I received an email with a request for an interviewer to conduct a high-profile interview later that day for an online magazine. There was no other information but since I conduct professional interviews I said I would be willing to do the interview.

However, I didn't receive confirmation until nearly 3:00pm GMT and the interview was scheduled for 11:00am EST. In other words I would have about an hour to prepare for the interview.

My interviewee was someone who operated a multi-million dollar business, had appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, had a long line of A-list celebrity clients, had been featured in Oprah, People, USA Today and InStyle magazines and, as I later discovered, had been interviewed by Barbara Walters.

Yet somehow she had escaped my radar. I had not heard of my client before and so I had nothing to go on. Fortunately, her passion was in two areas which I identified with and had a keen interest in and that certainly helped.

Thank goodness for the Internet. I was able to do some quick research on my guest. Also, thank goodness for InstantTeleseminars because, this gave me a quick, easy and professional platform from which I could conduct the interview and have it immediately recorded and available online.

I have to admit that I was a little nervous about asking my guest to phone a bridge line. She might have considered it an imposition but she was absolutely fine about it and we had a few minutes to chat before the interview officially started.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed conducting the interview. My guest was fascinating. I felt inspired listening to her tell her story of how she created her business starting with nothing and grew it into a multi-million dollar business using the power of referrals and sheer guts.

My guest shared with me some of her dreams and aspirations and when she mentioned that she had been interviewed by Barbara Walters I didn't feel intimidated. Instead, I raised my own aspirations and thought to myself that one day I want people to say with pride:

"I was interviewed by Nickolove Lovemore."

I can't share the actual interview just yet but my point in sharing this story with you is that sometimes you have to take risks to get ahead in life.

You may think that interviewing someone is easy and in many ways it is but there is an art to conducting an intimate interview. This could have backfired which would have been embarrassing not just for myself but my client.

There are several things within the interview that I know I could have done better and I am grateful for that level of awareness. Still, I felt a deep connection with my guest. I felt jazzed just by talking to her.

So, all in all, I'm glad that on Friday I listened to my intuition and went for it. And, I was honest with my guest too, saying that I had only about an hour to prepare for the interview. It wasn't that I was trying to make excuses. It was more of an apology because the interview certainly warranted more thorough preparation.

This brings me to another point - to achieve success you also have to be prepared. I had certain structures/systems in place that enabled me to take advantage of this opportunity. I also undertake training.

Whatever your field, you will know the structures and systems that you need to have in order to be effectively prepared for your day-to-day business as well as unexpected situations that can help to advance your position. You also need to know what ongoing training you need in order to keep your blade sharp.

So when presented with a potentially exciting opportunity that could also be risky have the courage to say "yes" and figure out how you're going to make it work afterwards. Have faith in your abilities that you will find a way to turn the opportunity into a success.

"Do not fear risk. All exploration, all growth is calculated. Without challenge people cannot reach their higher selves. Only if we are willing to walk over the edge can we become winners."

The picture accompanying this post is a clue to my interviewee's identity so stay tuned and see if you can guess the name of the person I interviewed.
