You probably also know that I’m getting ready to start the Energetics of Attraction 6-week teleseminar series: Basic Energy Awareness Skills for Deliberate Creators.

What you don’t know is that enrollment is going slower than I expected. Right now there are about half the number of people registered for the program than I had originally envisioned.

Now in the first few days after I opened the registration I was a bit concerned (more about that in a moment). But thanks to some great conversations with some of my leading edge, Deliberate Creator friends, I’m no longer concerned. Here’s why:

First, people are notoriously last minute when it comes to signing up for programs like this and it’s likely that several more people will join us by the time the program begins on Wednesday (May 14th).

Second, even if no one else signs up, there are enough participants to create a vibrant, dynamic group of people interested in learning how to use their personal energy systems to accelerate their ability to create an awesome life!

And third, because the recordings of this program are going to be the core content of a digital, self-paced program, having fewer people on the calls will enable me to provide focused, personalized Energy Coaching to the participants. We’ll be able to zero in on their specific questions and issues. So the recordings for the self-paced version will be chock full of highly specific and practical information that might not come out with a larger group.

So that’s all good. Now here’s the important point before I get to Mark’s email:

When I first opened registration for the course, and saw that enrollment was going very slowly I wasn’t quite as relaxed about it as I am now! And before I had those encouraging, positive conversations, I actually managed to attract four conversations in a three-day stretch that clued me into some inner work that I need to do.

You see, each of these four people responded in almost the exact same way when I voiced my concerns about the enrollment in the program. They all said:

“Well, with this recession and gas prices being so high and food costs going up, people are getting very cautious with their spending.”

I’m still amazed that every one of them used almost the exact same phrasing. It was as if they were reading from a script! (In a way, they were. Read Mark’s email below and you’ll see what I mean).

Now the fact that I had four people voice these fears to me tells me that I’ve got some internal work to do. Apparently, even though I don’t watch the news and only rarely read the paper, on some level, I’ve bought into this whole recession thing.

And obviously, many others have as well. And that brings me to Mark’s email. If you’ve been hearing lots of people around you complaining about the “recession” or gas prices or food prices, or if you’ve been catching yourself complaining about the “recession,” you’ll definitely want to read this.

[Note: The highlights are mine. Also Mark’s offer at the end is only available for another 24 hours (as of this posting) but the information in the email is definitely worth reading anyway!)

After you read Mark’s note, leave a comment below and share your thoughts. I’d love to hear how you’ve been responding to this “recession!”

Hey Ed

I hope you’re having a beautiful day!

I sure am - maybe better than I’ve had in a *long* time …

I’ll tell you why in a second. (hehe

First, there’s something I need to get off my chest before my
head pops off my shoulders.

OK …

I’m really sick of hearing one particular word every time I
turn on the TV.

Bear with me.

No, it’s not “election” or “Iraq.”

This word gets me more worked up than either of those two.

The word I’m talking about is “recession.”

First, don’t you get a sense that most of these “pundits” on TV
don’t really have any clue what they’re talking about?

I mean, not even economists agree on the definition of a
recession, or if it’s even a significant event at all.

Yet, that doesn’t stop the prime time scare-mongers from trying
to strike *fear* into the hearts of me & my family, though,
does it?

I mean, let me digest my meal in peace for Pete’s sake!

Can’t they think of another way to pump up their ratings without
toying with the hopes & dreams of the average Joe?

Ah, anyway … !

I’ll get off my soapbox.

What’s important is this.

When you strip away all of the hype from what is supposed to be
“fact-based news,” there are some things happening that should
cause us all to be a alert.

“Alert.”

Not, “so scared out of our wits that we can’t think straight.”

Warren Buffett, the greatest investor who ever lived, recently
revealed at the latest Berkshire shareholders meeting that,
“the worst of the crisis in Wall Street is over.”

Contrast that with the high-drama about a pending “financial
melt-down” the pundits are yammering on about.

Who to listen to? The greatest investor who ever lived or some
TV blow-hards?

Not a hard decision!

Yet, a clever investor is never complacent.

So, that’s why I’m going to spray myself with a whiff or two of
“Recession Repellent.”

Don’t laugh.

This may sound like something silly, but it’s not. Far from it!

Warren Buffett has done it.

Bill Gates has done it.

So has Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey and just
about every other billionaire you can name.

So, what is it?

First, you need a little “background” before you can really
understand it.

Sorry if that sounds like “talking down” - it’s not meant to be
at all.

Most people tend to dismiss this at first, but you won’t be so
fool-hardy when you are armed with the following facts.

Ready?

OK, let’s play a little game.

Can you name a group of people who, year in and year out,
weather the toughest financial storms?

Even if they lose everything these guys can get it *all* back
without breaking a sweat.

They’re not doctors.

They’re not lawyers.

Nope, they’re most definitely not stock-brokers.

Who are they?

Now, promise me you’ll keep reading after I tell you because
you may think this doesn’t apply to you, but it does.

It most certainly does.

Promise?

OK …

They are “best-selling authors.”

Now, remember your promise!

You’re about to understand why this fact can not only cause an
immediate cash windfall for you now, but also “set up” you and
your family for bedrock stability, year after year, no matter
what happens.

In the next 90 seconds, you’re about to get an education
that has taken others decades to learn. And sadly, some never
get this education at all.

Consider these facts:

FACT: A best-selling author can, because of his or her
celebrity status, get in front of large audiences almost
anywhere in the world, sometimes within hours of picking up
a phone.

One of the most challenging things for any business is to get
“traffic.”

Best-selling authors can get instant traffic, any time day or
night, like flipping a switch.

It’s a fact.

FACT: Best-selling authors have “instant trust and credibility”
with their audiences.

Another barrier that holds you hostage from the riches you know
you deserve is “trust.”

You may have a product with more selling power than “instant
hair,” but if no one knows you or trusts you, it just doesn’t
matter.

If, however, your message comes from “Best-selling author of …”
vast audiences will stop in their tracks to listen.

FACT: Products from best-selling authors are “pre-sold” so you
can sell without selling.

Let’s face it, no one likes an annoying pushy salesman, and
unfortunately, that’s what most people think the business
world requires.

That just couldn’t be further from the truth.

What happens most often in today’s world is “selling without
selling.” Pre-selling is the name of the game, but most people
just don’t understand how it’s done.

Products from best-selling authors have pre-selling built in
to them, often without the best-selling author understanding
how their products “just seem to keep selling.”

I could probably carry on like this for a few hours and barely
scratch the surface.

People often ask, “If Donald Trump has so much money why does
he keep writing books?”

And now you know why.

Not only does he get a tidy flood of cash from the sale of his
books (and the additional products he sells to his readers), but
he enjoys limitless “ripple effects” that churn more and more
profit out of every nook and cranny.

Pretty cool, huh?

Well, it gets better?

What if I told you that *you* could be a best-selling author?

And what if I told you that …

• you don’t have to have any business experience

(what I’m about to show you has worked for many who just blindly
followed the plan without even understanding it)

• you don’t have to have a “list”

• you don’t even have to write a book!

(you’ll laugh - many of the world’s best-selling authors have
never had to put pen to paper even a single time)And what if you could do all of this with minimal cash outlay?

One young man from Singapore, with barely a penny to his name,
followed a similar plan and made 100K (US currency) within weeks.

(you’ll hear his story and others)

Pretty cool, huh?

Now you’ll understand why I’m on such a “natural high” these
days!

Well, it gets even just a little bit better.

This system comes with a high price tag (if you had such a
system that actually *worked* wouldn’t you expect that?), but
if you act quickly, you can get it on a drastically reduced
price with a payment plan that makes it affordable for even
someone on a “minimum wage” budget.

Here’s the link:

Do yourself a favor and at least test this out.

You’ll know instantly after reading that page (it’s actually
fun to read and you’ll learn a ton more) that it’s all on the
“up and up.”

The man who put this together is a well-known 4 time #1
best-selling author who is endorsed by people from legendary
business luminaries to University professors to “work at home
moms” who have followed his advice and turned their lives
around.

It’s backed up by an iron-clad guarantee and they have “assumed
the risk” for you, so you’d be crazy to miss out.

OK, I’ve got to get back to work following this plan myself

My wish is that both of us, you and me, are best-selling authors
by this time next year.

You game?

It can probably happen a lot sooner (it took one of his students
just 45 days!), but let’s be realistic.

1. Registration for the Best-Seller Blueprint will close after 48 hours.

2. The program will include 4 live marathon Q&A sessions with Mark Joyner himself.

3. And it’s going to come with a limited time opportunity to get a massive bonus package of some pretty rare and valuable stuff (stuff you won’t find for sale anywhere in the world - for example some rare videos of Mark Joyner presenting to a live audience - MJ fans know these are hard to find, but pure life changing gold).

Registration opens up tonight at 8PM Eastern and will close exactly 48 hours after that (maybe sooner if they sell out), so please hurry and grab your slot.

Look, becoming a best-selling author is probably the most significant life changing event any of us will ever experience. This product will show you precisely how to do it step by step.

I’m going to be on that pre-launch call tonight. Hope you’re there too.

Even ebook “authors” have a hard time getting recognized as authors outside of the world of internet marketing. For the vast majority of people - yes even business people - the Internet and especially the blogosphere remains uncharted territory.

Want proof? When I was promoting a blogging course to my business networking group, I asked, by a show of hands, how many members knew what a blog was. You ready for this?

Out of 50 business people in that meeting, fewer than ten hands went up! I was amazed.
Now this was certainly not a statistically valid sample. But if it’s even close to the reality, it means that less than 20% of business owners know what a blog is. Which probably means that the percentage in the overall population is even lower than that.

And why is this important?

Because if you are just blogging or just writing ebooks, you are missing out on as much as 80% of your potential market. (Unless your target market is the internet marketing or blogging crowd). And not only that, you’re also missing out on the credibility that comes along with a published book. (Yes, I’m hearing this too!)

Now the reason I’m writing this today is because I just read something that shook the foundation of my business model. The ultra-refined, Cliffs Notes version of which is:

1. Use blog to build platform.
2. Use platform to attract publisher.
3. Use platform to market book.

What I just read blows that theory out of the water for a number of reasons. Here are just two of the key reasons:

• Current technology makes it possible for anyone -yes ANYONE - to become a bestselling author.
• The window of opportunity during which published authors will continue to receive increased credibility is closing. (Perhaps very quickly).

Rather than tell you more, I’d rather have you go read it for yourself. It’s a free report called Rise of The Author.

And by the way, you don’t have to be a blogger to benefit from this report. If you have ever wanted to write a book, this report could very well be the spark that lights the fire for you.

However, I just got wind of a new program that Mark Joyner is getting ready to launch. It’s part of a whole new set of Simpleology Tools called Blueprints. And this one is The Simpleology Best-Seller Blueprint.

Now if you don’t know who Mark Joyner is, I’ll tell you just a little bit about him. He’s a four-time bestselling author and is widely acknowledged as the person who created the now ubiquitous Amazon book launch campaigns. (You know the ones where you get thousands of dollars worth of bonuses when you buy the book on a certain day). He is also known for using cutting edge learning technology to create highly effective online courses including Simpleology: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want.

If you’ve always dreamed of being a bestselling author you won’t want to miss this opportunity. Now, of course, you’ll have to write the book. Mark can’t help you with that part. But I know that he can help you get your book in front of a LOT more eyeballs!

And the best part is that they’re doing a contest right now and 3 winners are going to get a custom-crafted best-seller plan from Mark Joyner! Do you have any idea what that’s worth?

Plus, just for entering the contest, you’ll get a $147 surprise gift: It will show you the speed-writing secrets of a man who has written over 95 books! (I guess Mark can help you write that book after all!)

But in order to get the bonus and possibly win the incredible prize, you’ve got to get your entry into the contest by February 26th.

So if you are a writer and want to become a bestselling author, go check out the contest and get ready to find out more about the Simpleology Best-Seller Blueprint!
