Hawaii is paradise.

Clean air. Clear skies. Warm sun. Beautiful beaches. Deep rain forests. A spiritual, healing place of wonders. The biggest highlight of the trip was spending time with Joe Sugarman, famous copywriter, direct marketing legend, and the genius behind the Blueblocker sunglasses empire. At one point Joe let me interview him for over an hour about how to build your own empire with a $50 product.

In it, he revealed his method for writing copy, manifesting wealth from a spiritual base, and more -- including his lost seventh principle for success.

Joe shared stories, tips, and insights he had never shared anywhere else.

I'll show you how you can have this rare Maui-made interview on April 5th.

And now, let's raise the curtain and roll into this month's news and views...

(You might want to print this issue out, as it is packed with information.)

GIFT: Interested in enlightenment? If so, you can now get Blair Warren's controversial "No-Nonsense Guide to Enlightenment" e-book absolutely free.

LESSON: Where are the opportunities for you to gain the wealth you seek?

Let me tell you a story that will answer your question:

While in Maui, I wanted to buy a particular Hawaiian shirt. I knew the color (rich purple), the material (silk), and the make (made in Maui).

However, I couldn't find the exact shirt I wanted. Most of them were made in China or Korea. There's nothing wrong with things made in the Orient, but I wanted to support the local community and I wanted an item made by native Hawaiian people. I'll want things made in China when I'm in China.

Do you hear an opportunity?

Nerissa knew my frustration and said, "I think you should open a store here and sell Maui made shirts."

We may do just that. We loved Maui, which is truly paradise, and talked about moving there. If and when we do, opening a store selling the item I was looking for may be a profitable idea.

The point is this: Opportunities are everywhere.

I spelled this out in last month's newsletter, when I told you about my search for wisdom on how to use my Blackberry phone.

This month I'm giving you another lesson and another reminder. The wealth you seek is hidden within the problems you complain about.

Take note: Whatever you complain about may hold your fortune.

Complain and grow rich.

Hours before our flight was to leave Maui, Nerissa dragged me into a clothing store for women.

Surprisingly, they had three men's shirts. All were 100% silk, hand painted one-of-a-kind works of art, and all were made in Maui.

Yes, one was the rich purple color I wanted, too.

I bought two of them and regret not buying the third. While expensive, they are collectibles. How often will I find hand painted wearable art with no two Maui-made silk shirts looking alike?

I think finding them was an example of the power of intention at work. So another secret is to be clear about your goals and not locked in to how you will achieve them. I mean, I found my longed for men's shirt in a women's clothing store.

Who would have thunk?

Note: The store in Maui does not have a website. (Another missed opportunity.) But you can reach them via email at silk@cymaui.com The store is CY Maui located at The Shops of Wailea. Tell the owner, Chris, I said Aloha from Texas.

In short: Opportunities are everywhere.

If you're considering moving to Hawaii, and I wouldn't blame you one bit, then get a copy of "So You Want to Live in Hawaii" by Toni Polancy.

Joe Sugarman gave me his copy after I told him we want to move to Maui. Guidebooks like this one are priceless for the target audience they were written for. I now know more about Hawaii then most people who just moved there.

How can you write something like this? Isn't there something near you, or some place you love, that people might pay to know more about?

Get Polancy's book from http://www.Amazon.com

And if you're *really* serious about exploring Maui, then get "Maui Revealed," a wonderful, classy guidebook written by Maui residents Andrew Doughty and Harriett Friedman. Get details at http://www.wizardpub.com or from Amazon.

Finally, there is a book called "Miracle in Maui." It is the updated and retitled New York Times bestseller on how to create miracles by cancer survivor and Maui resident Dr. Paul Pearsall. It reveals the healing side of this sunny island. Get it at Amazon or http://www.innerocean.com

Joel Christopher and I give you hours of information at http://www.makemoneyfromscratch.com

GADGETS: Subscriber Terri Ng knows I love 007 gadgets. She urged me to see the site her husband loves at http://www.thinkgeek.com Turns out it is terrific. I bought the James Bond Stealth Camera. It's "A High Performance 7 Function Camera in a Brushed Metal Case" -- the size of a lighter. Too cool.

If you see me about to light a cigarette, know that I'm not smoking but instead I'm taking your picture.

ALERT: Circle April 5th on your calendar. Trust me. It will be worth the second it takes to make note of that date. Besides, that's the day you can get my interview with Joe Sugarman, titled "How to Build Your Own Empire -- with a $50 Product." Again, the date is April 5th. Go write it down.

NEW: My friend Cindy Cashman started a new business called http://www.OfficialDefensiveDriving.com If you or anyone you know want to dismiss your ticket and/or lower your insurance up to 10% in Texas or Florida, you can now do it online at http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com . This is yet another example of turning a problem into a business. Excellent idea, Cindy.

HYPNOTIC: People are always asking me for examples of hypnotic writing. Well, besides all of the articles at http://www.mrfire.com you might also pick up a copy of the new book, "How to Clone the Perfect Blonde."

Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham take eight fantasies and show how science can make them come true. So whether you want to build a servant, upgrade your body, lose weight, or live forever, science is exploring ways to make it possible.

This book is hypnotic because it uses simple writing to explain often confusing methods and theories. You won't find any obvious hypnotic commands in the book. But you will find riveting chapters. Read them and ask yourself, "Why is this so fascinating? What are the authors doing with the words to make me keep reading?"

Get it at http://www.QuirkBooks.com or from Amazon.

REMINDER: Quit typing and start speaking your emails. This is a breakthrough. See http://www.SpeakandSend.com

TIP: Subscriber Eddie Smith wrote me saying, "Because of what I learned in your one night course here in Houston 15-18 years ago, my wife and I are fortunate to have written 3 best-selling books."

I barely remember those classes from two decades ago, but it's gratifying to see how they helped people.

Eddie went on to write: "Here is a tip you might use in a newsletter: http://www.searchsight.com

"It is a unique search engine, like Google. However, it shows you the home page of each URL it presents to you. So, you can type in "Life Coach" and see the home pages of more than 600 Life Coaching sites in thumbnail form.

"Value? To be able to easily analyze your competition's website design. Almost like a "swipe file" you taught me about, a swipe file of web design, an opportunity to see what colors, styles, formats are most appealing, since you are seeing a dozen Life Coaching sites (for example) on the same screen at the same time."

Great tip. Thank you, Eddie!

FIND: If you want to teach yourself copywriting, and for under $20, grab the book "Teach Yourself Copywriting" by Jonathan Gabay. It's excellent. Get it from amazon or see http://www.gabaynet.com

INSIGHT: Why do people buy things they don't need? (Like me and that James Bond stealth camera above.)

According to Pamela Danziger, in her book, "Why People Buy Things They Don't Need," the answer is in the emotional gratification they get from the purchase.

She lists 14 justifiers that give people permission to buy. They include everything from pleasure to education to stress relief. I loved her insight that people create fantasies in their head about how a product will make their life happier. These are tips you need to know when writing copy or creating a website. Remember, sell the dream.

Get the book at www.Amazon.com or see http://www.whypeoplebuy.com/

GIFT: Long time friend Larry Dotson just released an e-book on 200 ways to tell if you're addicted to the Internet. It's hilarious, insightful and yours free at http://www.ldpublishing.com/imfree.html

TIP: It's a new year and you no doubt want to look and feel your best. Get some help from my coach at http://www.naturalphysiques.com/cmd.php?af=192405 I know at least one of his products will help you.

WANTED: I'm seeking 10 people to help me orchestrate my global event on April 5th. You should be an outrageous thinker, a disciple of P.T. Barnum and Richard Branson-type events, and willing to help create a buzz from where you are located. If interested, write me a note in care of Becky at rebeccasteiner329@hotmail.com

CONSIDER: What can you learn from the man known as "The War Magician"?

Jasper Maskelyne and his hand-picked team of magicians helped fool Hitler during World War II.

They used their creativity, boldness, stage magic experience, and scientific principles to do such feats as hide the Suez Canal, move Alexandria Harbor, turn tanks into trucks, and even create an entire army -- out of shadows.

The story of Maskeyne and his Magic Gang will soon be a movie starring Tom Cruise. But you can learn from his exploits right now. Just ask yourself these questions:

Where in your business (or life) are you acting as everyone else?

Where can you add magic to bring attention your business?

The magic doesn't have to be stage illusion, but anything that brings your business to life, that helps it stand out in the crowd.

If you thought like Jasper Maskelyne, or P.T. Barnum, or Sir Richard Branson, what would you do?

Do it.

Note: If you can find the book, "The War Magician" by David Fisher, get it. Fascinating reading.

NEW: The best membership idea I've seen in a long showed up here days before Christmas. I loved it so much that I immediately paid for a full year's membership.

I'm talking about The Spiritual Cinema Circle. Every month members get a DVD with films on it that uplift and inspire. Not only is this a sound marketing strategy, but it's doing good in the world, too.

Check it out at http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com?af=19691

RESOURCE: I *love* the giant collection called "All-American Ads" edited by Jim Heimann. The volume containing ads from the 1920s was just released. It's as juicy as the other 5 collections, on ads from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 1970s. Get them all at amazon or from http://www.taschen.com

NEW: Subscriber Paul Huff sent me a copy of his inspiring new book, "Make Your Own Miracle: Surviving Cancer." It's excellent. Get details at http://www.makeyourownmiracle.com

HYPNOTIC: Years ago Robert Anue created a deck of unusual playing cards called Zebu. Each card contained a language pattern straight from the greatest hypnotist of all time: Milton Erickson. Unfortunately, Zebue is long out of print and hard to find these days, even on eBay. I still cherish the one set I have.

But along comes Jamie Stuart with a new set of unusual playing cards, this one called Salad. Don't ask me why one is called Zebu and the other Salad. Thinking about it will just cause you to buy the cards.

This new deck contains hypnotic language patterns designed to teach you how to "irresistibly influence" yourself or others.

I haven't set down and closely compared the two decks, but since Zebu is history and Salad is now available, I say just get it.

Yes, you can play cards with them, but they're also educational. Worth getting, isn't it?

"Worth getting, isn't it?" is a hypnotic line off of one of the cards. I used at least one other line off the cards here, but you'll have to get the cards to find it. Heh heh heh.

Get details and see a few samples of Salad at http://www.saladltd.co.uk/influence_cards.htm

FEARLESS: Too many people don't act on ideas, whether from me or someone else, simply due to one thing: Fear.

But how do you overcome fear? Right now the world seems like a fearful place. Taking trips or taking action all hold dread. How do we move ahead?

I stumbled across "Face Your Fear", a new book by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, that brilliantly addresses the whole fear question. It's the best thing I've read on fear since Barry Glassner's "The Culture of Fear."

Boteach goes deeper, stating that under all our fears is the nagging belief that we don't matter. He cuts through all our excuses, all the media's manipulation of us, and offers 22 strategies for banishing fear. The end result is clarity, and the ability to choose to go after what we want.

I love the book. I urge you to get it. It can help you start that business, run that marketing campaign, or just ask that attractive person out for coffee, all because it sheds light on the one dark thing stopping you: Fear.

It's at Amazon or from http://www.stmartins.com

UNUSUAL: Subscriber Daryl Ira Gonyon sent me a check for four dollars with his book, "You Can Change the World!"

He basically said if I will promote his book, I could keep it, but if I didn't promote the book, here's four bucks to send it back. Odd. It felt like blackmail or a bribe. Book reviewers get hundreds of books a day and are never expected to send them back. And when you give anyone a book, truly GIVE it to them -- with no strings attached. You never know where that book will go or who will benefit from it. Allow the owner the freedom to share it.

And here's another TIP: Sign the book. Few people give away or sell a book inscribed to them. As for Gonyon's book, it's about inspirational letter writing. Worth a look. See http://www.authorhouse.com

PERSONAL: My fitness plan continues to achieve results. On the nine hour flight to Maui, I noticed that the seats were roomy. I turned to Nerissa and asked, "Is this a new plane? The seats have more space."

She informed me that the plane was the same B767 we had been on before. What was different was me. Since I've now lost over 50 pounds, there's a lot more room in my seat. Believe me, it's a wonderful feeling.

See recent pictures of "Shrinking Joe" in the Photo Gallery.

If you want to know part of my secret to success, see http://www.govesiebold.com/cgi-bin/at.cgi?a=301459

And note: One day soon I will reveal my entire fitness story, including how a $15,000 time-machine, a secret group of Indian mystics, and a rare magic ring helped remove the final barriers to my weight-loss goal.

But that's all for now.

Until next month, consider...
