Brace yourself. This issue is short but punchy. In fact, you should print it out right now. Ready? Here we go...

I'll confess this to you...

I never expected to knock Harry Potter off the #1 spot. I was pretty sure I could get to the top 10. But #1 or #2 or even #3? Nah. Not with the Pope dying and books about him on the list. And not with Trump and Da Vinci books still bestsellers. And no one EVER beats Harry Potter. Even though the Potter book was not even printed yet, it was selling *thousands* of copies every day in advance orders. It was #1 and not budging for nuttin.

I didn't stand a chance.

So you can imagine my surprise when "The Attractor Factor" literally shot to #2 on Amazon AND Barnes and Noble online on April 5th. And you probably can't imagine my shock when my book hit #1 on the morning of April 6th, beating Harry Potter. I danced a jig that day. I flew around my office on a broom. I cast happy spells on strangers. We sold out of the entire first edition in less than 48 hours. Wiley (the publisher) was stunned. Their CEO's were scrambling to get my book reprinted, and fast. And then, on April 21st, the book beat Harry Potter AGAIN and became #1 at Barnes and Noble online again. In short, "The Attractor Factor" made history. I could not have done it without you. Your emails, love, and support have been truly moving. Your orders helped, too. :) I am incredibly grateful. Thank you.

To show my gratitude, you (or anyone you know) can still get the book and all the bonuses.

APPLY: I announced my Executive Mentoring Program a while back and we were flooded with applications. The first set of students are underway and I'm looking for the next ones.

If you are interested, see http://www.joe-vitale-executive-mentoring.com/info.html

GIFT: Jason Mangrum created online software based on "The Attractor Factor." It walks you through the 5 steps, and you end up sending your request right to the universe.

Very inspiring -- and it's freeeeeee. See http://www.UseManifestSoftware.com

NEW: Nerissa just created a mentoring program to help you create, use, edit and understand video. I strongly suggest you look into this. Video is the next big trend headed online in a very big way. http://www.thevideoqueen.com/mentor.html

NEW: I've just created a new monthly membership program called Hypnotic Gold. Every month I will create an audio CD where I reveal marketing secrets, X-ray a case study to reveal why it works (or doesn't), and even, when I feel like it, interview geniuses you may never have heard of. The premier issue is called "Secrets of the Bullworker." I interviewed a true living legend in marketing, Drayton Bird. It was astonishing. You can ONLY get these CD's if you are a member of the Hypnotic Gold program. Get details at http://www.HypnoticGold.com.

LOOK: If you'd like to see the joyful evidence that my book became #1 and beat even Harry Potter, see http://mrfire.com/WeBeatHarryPotter/index.html

LISTEN: If you'd like to hear the best interview with me, conducted by Alex Mandossian AS my book climbed the charts, see http://www.AskJoeVitale.com/replay

TIP: If you don't know the power of using greeting cards to build relationships, increase sales, and more, see http://www.makeloyalcustomers.com/joevitale

SCHOLARSHIP: I'm speaking at a marketing event in June in Las Vegas. Details on scholarships are at http://www.httlam.com/scholarship/vitale/

NEW: A neighbor of mine discovered a way to get his site listed on Google in 3 days. He was smart enough to write a short report to tell you exactly how to do it, too. Go see -- http://hop.clickbank.net/?outrageous/cwdedes

LESSON: Paul Hartunian is one of my favorite people in the entire world. He's a publicity genius, medical doctor, and lover of dogs. He has a 25-acre rescue area for pups in New Jersey. Recently he decided to offer a special deal:

Donate $1,000 and you can have a dog named after you, or someone you care about.

Sound dumb?

Think it would work?

Paul told me over breakfast in Chicago, "Nothing has ever worked better than this new method."

All of Paul's friends are donating money. I did, too. I gave $2,000 to have a pup named after Nerissa and another after my late ex, Marian. You can do this, too. See http://www.auntmarysdoghouse.com

What can you learn from this?

If I have to spell it out, you might not be ready to grasp the power of this lesson. In short, appeal to people's egos and they will give you the moon.

This isn't crass. This is human nature. Paul's cause is a worthy one. He is simply playing on human nature to create a win-win-win. The dogs get care, Paul's cause gets funding, and the donors get recognition.

Think about it.

And sign up for Paul's publicity newsletter at http://www.PaulHartunian.com

TIP: Last summer I spoke at the National Guild of Hypnotists convention. I teach hypnotic writing methods to hypnotists there. It's fun.

One person in the crowd was so moved by what he learned that he came up to me and said, "My book is done and at the publishers, but I learned so much about how to write better than I am pulling the book from them and rewriting it."

He did, too. He sent me a copy of the completely rewritten book. It's called "Tipping the Scales: It's Not About Dieting, it's about Living." Author is Dr. Harold Schulman. Get it at www.amazon.com

If you still haven't realized the power of Hypnotic Writing, see http://www.HypnoticMarketingStrategy.com

You can always improve your writing.

Always.

RESOURCE: This has to be the best online library of old ads and sales letters I've EVER seen. I have learned much from this priceless collection. Not only are the ads treasures, but the searching tips and sources I learned from this system have been a real thrill for a researcher like me. Check it out at -- http://www.ultimate-online-swipe-file.com/cmd.php?af=240413

GIFT: Pat O'Bryan put together a Special Report called, "The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Copywriting."

It's excellent and it's free at http://www.patobryan.com/copywriting.htm

GIVE: I support a lot of non-profits and causes. Here's a new one I believe in that few people address: http://childrenneedingamiraclefoundation.com/

It began when Kevin Hogan met a boy who suffered a pediatric stroke when he was just 6 weeks old. He can't comb his hair or put on his socks, and he can't walk YET. Kevin wanted to do something about it. I and others are helping. You can, too. See http://childrenneedingamiraclefoundation.com/

PERSONAL: I've now lost over 70 pounds and feel like Superman, or at least Batman.

Nerissa took pictures of me in my new gym. I look so good in them that I'm attracted to myself.

Nerissa sometimes just stares at me, in a hypnotic trance. I think she likes me.

Yes, fitness is good.

I'm also amazed at all the support I'm getting. For example, Jeff Dedrick of http://www.401dietTips.com sent me an unexpected packet with many things to help me in my fitness goals.

A true jaw-dropping surprise were several pictures of my idol, Steve Reeves of http://www.SteveReeves.com I use images of Reeves/Hercules and Frank Zane to help train my mind to create a new physical me. It's simply "The Attractor Factor" at work. Jeff was kind enough to freely give me the extra gifts.

Of course, I've had support from others, as well, including the great coach Jeremy Likness at http://www.naturalphysiques.com

I'm so excited about the new me and my progress that I am working to be a Certified Fitness Instructor.

In short, anything is possible.

What's your dream?

You can see my gym at http://www.GladiatorGym.com

INSPIRING: What could you learn from the first woman to successfully climb Mt. Everest? Or from a single mom who became a self-made millionaire? Or from the welfare mom who became a Grammy winner?

Pick up a copy of Stacey Mayo's book, "I Can't Believe I Get Paid to Do This!" It reveals 26 proven strategies for making your dreams become reality. The interviews are all inspiring. Get it. See http://www.IGetPaidToDoThis.com

READ: One of the best books I read last month was Phil Keoghan's "No Opportunity Wasted." It's a page- turner about facing your fears, having faith, shedding your inhibitions, and testing your limits.

In the chapter on excuses, he lists the number one excuse for not taking action as, "I don't have the money."

Boy, do I hear that one a lot. People don't realize that money isn't always necessary. Sure, it's handy. Yes, I love it. But no, you don't *need* it. Keoghan says:

"Instead of focusing on the amount of money lacking in your budget, focus on what you DO have: a willing spirit, an imagination filled with bright ideas, people who care about you and can perhaps help you in some way. These are the things that will enable you to do almost anything."

Drop the excuses. Take action. And read the book. It's at bookstores or from www.amazon.com

Until next month, consider...

"Everybody's got money for what they really want."
