Vol. 3. Issue 12. December, 2001 (return to last menu) Subscribe to News You Can Use for Hypnotic News, Views, Tips, Secrets and More brought to you for free every month from Dr. Joe "Mr. Fire" Vitale, all designed to help you achieve your dreams through marketing, mind power, spirituality and more. "Aude aliquid dignum" (16th century Latin for "Dare something worthy")

Rage. Betrayal. Confusion. When I learned that my best female friend was manipulated and then molested by my best male friend, my world collapsed. I didn't sleep. My eyes watered nonstop. Anger welled up in me. It was Sept. 11th all over again. Somehow I've still managed to put together this month's holiday issue of "News You Can Use"...

Ever since Sept. 11th I've noticed that people are more prone to irritability, more quick to anger, and more easily depressed for the slightest of reasons. I've been subject to this fall-out, too. I encourage us to look for the rainbows in each day and to stay as clear as possible. To help you do just that, you can still read the e-version of my "Spiritual Marketing" book here: (And yes, you may pass that link to anyone you like).

What you do doesn't just affect your immediate breathing area. You send ripples out into the world. Your actions touch others. Sometimes this is obvious. When you smile at a clerk in the store, that smile may get you one in return. But what you don't usually see is how your smile led to that smile which led to other smiles that day. You created a chain of smiles.

But the same thing happens when you do something harmful. When you frown, you may cause frowns to get passed around. When someone is rude to you, you may be tempted to be rude to the next person you meet...who in return may be tempted to be rude to the next person he or she meets...and so it goes. That's a chain of pain. Do you see how this works?

When my best male friend (a therapist!) psychologically manipulated and then sexually molested my female friend (his client!), he unknowingly traumatized her. She went into denial at first. But you can't bury feelings. Within two weeks the terrible reality of what happened hit her. It wasn't pretty.

She called the suicide hot line. Then the rape crisis center. She went to her doctor and was prescribed Prozac. She also missed weeks of work, and has struggled with confusion, betrayal, and shame. Daily she fights suicidal urges. She cries herself to sleep every night. She has to take medication to get any sleep at all. She lost her best friend, who wouldn't support her during her time of crisis. She also now has to go to discreet support group meetings with other victims in order to get her life back together again.

But that's not all.

My male "friend" created a black cloud that has been passed from my female friend to me to the few others who know of this sad crime. Feelings of rage. Betrayal. It's hard to explain how deep it all goes. The hurt is now a scar.

But we still have a choice.

We can curl up and die, or we can move on.

We can choose to live.

P.T. Barnum, maybe an unlikely man for so wise a comment, once said, "We cannot all see alike, but we can all do good."

So true.

Please, for my sake, your sake, and for the sake of all those we touch in invisible ways, do good. As I mentioned in last month's newsletter, and even way back in 1997 in my book "CyberWriting," I want to create a "chain of love" in the world.

Won't you join me?

As we are going into the holidays, with the country at war, individuals scared and confused, and many businesses rocking in uncertainty, now is probably the greatest time of need---and opportunity.

Please, do good.

Spread love.

Smile.

Note: Thanks to Mandy Evans at http://www.mandyevans.com and Ann Taylor Harcus at http://www.innerhealing.com for helping me through this intense time of deep healing. Also, please support the suicide hot lines and rape crisis centers in your area. While the Red Cross is getting virtually all of the publicity these days, these other services are quietly saving lives. Help them, too.

REQUEST: For my next book, "Hypnotic Marketing," I would like to know what websites you absolutely love. There are two categories of "hypnotic" sites I'd like to hear about:

1. The ones you repeatedly visit. (That's www.amazon.com for me.) 2. The ones that got you to buy in one visit. (www.hypnoticwriting.com)

Send your ideas to me at sites@mrfire.com If I use your suggestion, I will give you full credit, and mention your own website, as well.

TIP: Get spies to watch other websites for you. I now have a spy at amazon watching for changes to my "Spiritual Marketing" review page there, and another watching auctions at ebay for books I am looking for. You can have spies working for you, too---for free. Go here http://www.spyonit.com (Thanks to Larry Chase for this idea.)

NEW: What's the hottest new way to get traffic to your site ever created? No one in history has ever seen a traffic building tool of this power. This will change the Internet forever. It's FREE, too.

IT'S GIFT GIVING TIME: Who do you know who has a pet they adore? Imagine giving him or her a unique photo of their pet---or a memorable video---created by a pet lover using Hollywood production tricks and techniques.

See samples here: http://www.FreeVideoCoding.com NOTE: You can now send free e-cards from the site, too. (Be sure to check out the new image of P.T. Barnum!)

INVITE: Meet me in New Jersey next April and hear me talk about "Spiritual Marketing" live and in person: I'll be speaking at a giant conference April 6 and 7, 2002. Get details on this remarkable event at http://www.motherearthexpos.com

* Want to be a stronger Hypnotic Writer? Get "Choosing Powerful Words" by Ronald Carpenter. It's a Toastmasters' book for public speakers and packed with wise advice on creating "eloquence that works." Reads a bit too scholarly for me, but fascinating enough to keep me riveted---when I have plenty to do. Persuasive writing isn't about writing with words, it's about choosing powerful words.

Get it at http://www.amazon.com

ANNOUNCEMENT: I've written an entire new e-book on how YOU can make money teaching your own e-classes. You'll discover how to make $5,000 or more EVERY time YOU teach an e-class. I taught famed copywriter Yanik Silver my proprietary method for creating e-classes ---classes done entirely by e-mail only---and he made $18,298.50 on his first e-class and $11,198.50 on his second. I did the same thing with executive coach Paul Lemberg. He made $16,500 on his first e-class. And I've made $73,500 (so far) teaching a few e-classes over a few months. You can do this, too---once you get my new ebook. Comes with TWO surprise bonuses.

NOTE: Don't order this book if you think you have to be well known to teach e-classes. People don't care if you're known, they care what you KNOW. If you believe in yourself, get this book. Click here: http://www.mrfire.com/Publications/ebooks.html

TIP: Are you having to save and send large image files? A solution comes from Eliska Went, who lives in the Netherlands. She writes: "I use www.ibackup.com. Why I'm using this? I'm sending the images of my chocolate gifts to the press. They always want to get high-resolution images, but these are large files and the e-mail attachment gives me quite a trouble to send it. And you know press-people better than me, they have millions of other things to do than unsuccessfully trying to get my attachments. Using secured server of IBackup is nice solution to this problem." For details see http://www.ibackup.com And for delicious, unique chocolate---with edible photos of whatever you want on it---visit Eliska's website at:

* Unbelievable find: Gary Halbert, a maverick marketer and legendary copywriter from a decade or two ago, used to write a popular and expensive newsletter called, creatively enough, "The Gary Halbert Newsletter." For some unknown reason he just put ALL his back issues online---for FREE.

See them here: http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/

* WOW! I just grabbed Roy Williams latest book, "Magical Worlds of the Wizard of Ads." It delivers tools and techniques for profitable persuasion. Insightful and even fun. Get it at http://www.amazon.com or from http://www.bardpress.com

TRIVIA: Far more women have achieved a place in history through literature than any other field of activity. One survey revealed that 39 percent of all eminent women of the past became famous as authors.

* My dear friend Todd Silva, an inspirational folk guitarist and singer, just opened his website at http://www.sagetone.com Go there to listen to inspiring music and to get his new CD, "CONSIDER." Note: Todd performs a song on that CD that he wrote for me and P.T. Barnum.

* If you want to become a celebrity online, pick up the just released great book by Bob Baker called "Poor Richard's Branding Yourself Online." Outstanding. See http://www.TopFloor.com

* If you want to learn how to sell better by reading hilarious stories of blunders & bloopers, grab a copy of "The Death of 20th Century Selling" by Dan Seidman. Truly unique. The toll-free number for ordering is 877-613-7355. With all orders, the author will also give the FREE new report, "How to Find Your Exact Buyers (in LARGE quantities) on the World Wide Web." (Excellent!) See http://www.salesautopsy.com

* Randy Gage writes thought-provoking weekly ezine articles. One of my favorites, titled "The Mental Side of Success," covers airport security, free enterprise, and limiting beliefs. Fascinating. See it here: http://www.gagedirect.com/ezine110601.html

TIP: Surveys are a great way to learn what your customers want, and to create excuses to get news for yourself. But how do you create your own surveys? Easy. SurveyMonkey.com is focused entirely on allowing YOU to create surveys quickly and easily. No programming experience is required, no software must be downloaded. It's free, too. See http://www.surveymonkey.com

* INSIGHT: People today are becoming increasingly fed up with marketing that hurts their health. Take the current Harry Potter craze. I saw the movie and thought it was the best film of the year. But then I learned that Coke bought the rights to tie all their marketing to Potter. Well, Coke isn't good for you, me, or our kids. People know it. As a result, people are taking action. Not a lot of people, but enough to cause a stink. If you are trying to market yourself or your product by associating it with a major cult figure, you best (1) be sure what you are doing is legal and (2) be sure what you are selling is good for people. If not, a group of lawyers will get you on the first count and a group of wizards AND lawyers will get you on the second. Meanwhile, you can help rescue Harry here: http://www.saveharry.com/

* If you're tired of all the gloom and doom spread by the media, get a breath of fresh air at http://www.newsforthesoul.com/

* Finally, the best book I've read in some time is an elevating one titled "Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior." This brain food for the mind can actually awaken your heart, lift your spirit, and even help all mankind. This challenging book by Dr. David Hawkins is based on a simple way to access answers to any question you can pose. The result is a new map of consciousness. This amazing book has been praised by Lee Iacocca and even Mother Teresa. Just reading it can enrich and uplift your spirit. Get it. Read it. Share it. Order at http://www.amazon.com or call (928) 282-8722.

Until next month, consider…

"In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for everyone."

-- Dr. David R. Hawkins, author of the mind-expanding book, "Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior"

"Bene agendo nunquam defessus."
