* Business lesson from Australia: While in the tropical paradise of
Palm Cove, along the Great Barrier Reef in Northern Australia,
I discovered The Opal Mine. The owner of it picked me up at my
beach hotel, drove me to his place of business, ran an eight-
minute video on opals, walked me through a simulated mine so
I could see how opals are discovered before being transformed
into gems, and then had a salesperson show me all the opals I
wanted. It was a fascinating, engaging, and fun way to shop. Does
this full service treatment work? The Opal Mine has been in business
more than 16 years, won Australia's top business award at least
once, and is famous in that region of Australia. And yes, I bought
opals! Visit their website at http://www.outbackopalmine.com.

* While in Melbourne, Australia, Winston Marsh and I went back into
the recording studio, this time to pick each other's brains dry on all
aspects of marketing. The result is a raw and sweaty six cassettes
humbly called "The Small Business Marketing Tool-Kit." Winston
is a genius at marketing and one of the best speakers I've ever heard.
Together we explore new ways to use business cards, powerful tricks
for creating Yellow Pages ads that work, headline secrets, publicity
tips, service insights, Internet marketing how-to's, and much more.
Our interaction is lively. We didn't edit out any of our grunts, or wisdom,
so you're getting the straight-from-the-bone advice on marketing. The
entire set will sell for $99.95 BUT if your order before July 5th (Barnum's
birthday) you can have it for only $69.95 postpaid. (Add $15 to ship
overseas.) Order with your credit card by FAX 281-999-1313 or by e-mail
order@mrfire.com or send a check to Joe Vitale, 303 Mill Stream, Houston,
TX 77060. You'll love our closed-door marketing confessions---guaranteed!

* I'll begin a new e-mail course on "Publicity Secrets: How to Get Rich
and Famous with a News Release and an Idea" on June 6, 2000.
Each week for five weeks I will e-mail a lesson on how to get publicity for
yourself or your business. I will also give assignments and personal
tutoring, all by e-mail. Since publicity has made some of my clients
millionaires, and has brought nationwide attention to others, this is
a course you should take. I'll reveal how to come up with publicity ideas,
how to write news releases, and what to do with them to get the best
results. You'll also get my personal coaching, by e-mail, so you get
tailor-made consulting for you and your needs. This online course will
last five weeks. Investment is only $1,500, and is probably tax deductible
for you. Since I charge about that to write one news release, getting the
entire course, with my personal involvement, is a bargain and a half.
You'll end up with several news angles for your business, at least one
news release ready to go, and the inside knowledge of what to do next.
To register, send me e-mail at joe@mrfire.com. If you register before
the end of this month, I'll give you a copy of my new tapeset (described
above) for free. NOTE: Only 15 people can attend this class, due to the
personal attention I give each. (And yes, results are guaranteed!)

* I will also again teach my "Spiritual Marketing" online class, also
beginning June 6, 2000. Same rules apply: Only 15 people can attend,
cost is $1,500 each, and lessons come once a week for five weeks.
Results from the first class were startling: One person wrote,
"I want to give you the deepest thank you for your Spiritual Marketing
class and especially Lesson #3. Some wonderful things are happening
to me." Yet another wrote, "I love this material. It's not new (in fact I
love the old sources that you've used) and, yet it's absolutely FRESH!
That's how 'truth' is!" This class will focus on a five-step method for
creating anything you want in your life. It's mind-expanding and guaranteed
to work for you. To register, send e-mail to me at joe@mrfire.com.

* While in Melbourne I picked up a copy of "The Manipulators" by Jeffrey
Robinson. It unmasks the tactics of the hidden persuaders who urge us to
buy, buy, buy. A fascinating history of advertising. Order at
http://www.bookpost.co.uk.

* If you still don't believe that you create your own reality, read
"Manifesting Your Heart's Desire" by Fengler and Varnum. It tells
the true story of two scientists who gather a group of forty people
to experiment with the question, "What happens if we assume
we can create the lives we want?" Mesmerizing and inspiring.
Get it at www.amazon.com or visit http://www.uvm.edu/~afengler/.

* Stop everything! You must get "The Emergency Handbook for Getting
Money Fast!", an incredible new book by Carole Dore. This uplifting book
reveals an "inside out" approach to making money. What Doré reveals are
strategic ways to increase your energy so that money is literally drawn to
you like a magnet. For only $28.95 (+ $4.50 shipping + tax in CA only),
you can have this wisdom, which is based on spirituality and honoring the
power center of all life. Did you know there is just one simple technigue
you can do any time, and any place that will begin to pull money to you---
almost by magic? Carole discusses it and much more in this nearly
300-page gorgeous book. Get it and see for yourself. Order it by e-mail
at caroledore@aol.com, FAX (949) 857-5122, or call 1-800-40-POWER.

* Run to the bookstore and grab "Twenty Ads That Shook the World" by
James B. Twitchell. Just get it! Available at http://www.amazon.com

* David Garfinkel's copywriting course is now online. It's terrific! Get
the full details at http://www.killercopytactics.com.

* If you like to collect P.T. Barnum autographs, or want more information
on the man I wrote about in my latest book, "There's A Customer Born
Every Minute," see http://www.authenticationguide.com/acm998/barnum.htm
