After the Larry King show taping last week, Jack Canfield told me over wine how he struggled many years ago with the increase in his wealth.

He had been a teacher making $8,000 a year. Using the principles described in the movie The Secret, he jumped to just under $100,000 a year, and then on to a million dollars a year.

But his wealth increase didn’t stop there.

He was soon receiving royalty checks from his publisher for over one million dollars each.

This was beginning to amount to six million dollars a year.

Jack confessed that making six mill a year pushed his buttons. He could spend $20,000 a day and not hurt.

He began to deal with issues of deservingness. He asked himself who the heck was he to make this kind of money.

To get comfortable with wealth, Jack decided to split up what he was making.

He invested part, spent part, saved part, and gave away part. In this way, he allowed himself to receive great wealth. Today he’s fine with wealth, and the abundance just keeps rolling in.

I think we all have to get clear of internal blocks to receiving wealth before we actually start seeing it. And even then, we may have to get clear of other blocks in order to maintain and increase the wealth.

For me, Miracles Coaching is the best way to get clear.

I’m sure there are other ways, but having an objective soul help you stretch your mind and get clear of limiting beliefs is faster than anything else I know of.

If you can do it by reading a book or by watching a movie, more power to you.

But sometimes you just need a good coach.

If you read back over my last few blog posts, you’ll see where I struggled a little bit with wanting an exotic car. I had some counter-intentions within me, preventing me from getting the car.

But I did a session with a coach and within a day I not only found the car I wanted, but bought it — and for an incredible deal.

When you get clear, you get results.

PS – That’s me and Francine in the picture. She likes having her picture taken. She’s like a Angelina Jolie or Linda Evangelista of the exotic car world. Smart. Sexy. Fast. She’s a 1995 Panoz Esperante GTLM. A friend says I’m now a Panozaholic. I love the Panoz company and especially Francine. One day I’m going to enter a racing school to learn how to actually dance with her at top speed.

PPS – Speaking of speed…A gorgeous CNN researcher who sat beside me at dinner in Beverly Hills, looked at my picture of Francine and asked, “You know what this car screams?” I said no. She said, “TICKET!” 🙂

The studio audience asked questions of me and the other panelists when we taped the Larry King show the other day at the CNN offices in LA.

I noticed a fundamental flaw in many of the questions.

People asked how they could get their dream home while on a fixed salary, or how to deal with the negative people in their life while they went for their dreams, etc.

While Jack Canfield, James Ray, George Pratt, a woman guest who I can’t recall the name of (I’m sorry), and myself answered these questions, they were all based in error.

Each question was assuming the person’s current reality was a fixed state.

The point of the movie The Secret and my book The Attractor Factor is that you can redirect your life and transform your current reality by first focusing on what you want, without much regard to your current situation.

Jack Canfield pointed out that he went from a teacher’s salary of $8,000 a year to $6,000,000 a year as a bestselling author by ignoring the teacher’s salary and focusing on his intention. His intention brought new ideas to him, while still a teacher, which led him on the path to being a multi-millionaire today.

Larry King asked an excellent question.

He wondered if having a coach was important.

I leaped in and explained that you need someone to reflect back to you your own beliefs. Since they are your beliefs, it’s tough to see them. An objective coach can help you realize where your patterns are.

Jack Canfield did this for me after the TV show, at dinner.

I told him about my Beyond Manifestation seminar and how I limited it to 25 people. He urged me to think even bigger, and suggested I lead the spiritual retreats for hundreds of people. I didn’t realize I had a limiting belief about it until someone outside of me, being a good coach, helped me see it.

I can’t wait for the Larry King show to air. I’m told it may be in two weeks or so. As soon as I know, I’ll tell you.

Meanwhile, appeciate your current reality for being your current reality but don’t be limited by it.

State what you want your reality to be.

Then act on the impulses you get to help manifest it.

Expect miracles.

PS – I told Larry King — right on his show — about Francine. I’m sure he never heard of a Panoz before, but the world will soon know I own a 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM. I didn’t plan on mentioning the exotic car on the Larry King show, for the world to hear, but that’s the kind of hold Francine has on me. She’s always demanding attention. She’s always ordering me around. What a woman. She’s beautiful and she knows it. Now Larry King knows it, too. Have I shown you a picture of her yet?

PPS – Reminder: If you want to know The Secret of Money, plan on attending this one day event with me and Mindy Audlin next Saturday here in Wimberley, Texas. See www.unityathome.org/events.htm Note: Francine will be there. She’d love to meet you.

What a day.

A limo takes me to CNN in LA and before you can say boo I’m talking to Larry King himself.

The show was easy and fast. Jack Canfield and James Ray and myself spaared with Larry. I think we did great.

The best part was dinner afterwards with the producer and staff and guests. I just left them. Jack Canfield is a brilliant storyteller. James Ray is fun and a new buddy of mine.

Wendy, the show producer, is amazing. She’s heart driven, loving, a visionary who wants to transform television.

I kept showing pictures of Francine to everyone. Jack Canfield laughed every time.

Right now I’m alone at poolside at my hotel in Hollywood, drinking scotch and smoking a cigar. I’m totally alone.

But I’m in bliss.

PS – I held up a copy of my book, The Attractor Factor, during the interview. Jack and James teased me for always marketing. Later they admitted they wish they had brought their books, too.

PPS – They don’t know when the show will air. Possibly in November. When I know I’ll tell you.

PPPS – I still miss Francine.

I’m sitting in a Hollywood hotel waiting for a limo to take me to CNN and Larry King.

We’re taping today. Not sure when it will air yet. My focus is on this moment.

I’ve got my Rolex on so I won’t be late.

Wish me luck.

What’s the secret to customer service?

Simply stated, do what you say you will do when you say you will do it.

But what’s the secret to legendary customer service?

I think it’s this: do more than what you say you will do and do it sooner than you said you would do it.

Here are two examples of what I mean:

Story #1:

As you probably know, I ordered a Rolex. I was told it would arrive in three months. No problem. I had been warned it may take a long time, as the watches are handmade in Switzerland and there’s a wild demand for them.

While I waited, the charming saleswoman sent me a packet of information about the Rolex.

And — the watch arrived on Monday.

Three months early.

I wore it when I went to visit my Miracles Coaches that day.

Awe might describe their response.

The fact that I received the watch three months early made me happy, too.

Story #2:

The dealership handling Francine, my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM, called me Monday morning to say my car may not be ready for pickup on Tuesday.

That was bummer news. I’m headed out to be on the Larry King show, and wouldn’t be able to pick up the car until next week if I didn’t get it on Tuesday.

But I accepted the news and braced myself for the worst.

At 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, the dealership called and said my car was ready.

When I got there, they spent well over an hour talking to me about the car, giving me gifts, and congratulating me on ownership of this rare exotic car.

I drove Francine home the very same day.

In both of the above examples I was surprised with extra service and quicker turnaround than expected.

If you want your customers and clients to talk about you (in a good way), do more than what they expect, and do it sooner than they expect it.

More on this topic later.

Right now I’ve got a plane to catch.

Larry King is waiting for me.

PS – Francine is LOUD. She’s a barely street legal race car and she knows it. She wants me to know it, too. She roars in my ears as I drive. She gets attention. She wants attention. She DEMANDS attention. She has an attitude, too. She says my little BMW Z3 is a go-cart from Toys-R-Us compared to her race car engine power. As much as I love my Z3, I don’t want to argue with Francine. I have a feeling she could run me over in under three seconds. What a woman, though. I think I’m in love.
