I did. And after three weeks of email exchanges, this man finally wrote me an email that rocked my world. He said, "I appreciate all you've done for me. If you ever want your material considered by Nightingale-Conant, I am their senior marketing director. Just send your stuff to me."

I still get goosebumps when I think of that email. That miracle occurred not because of any planned action, but because of Inspired Action.

So here's how to make Inspired Action work for you:

Step One: As I explain in "Spiritual Marketing," set an intention. An intention is your declaration about your dream, or goal, that you want to be, do, or have. This is your request of your subconscious, unconscious and universe itself. The clearer your intention, better your results. One of my intentions was, "I intend to have a best-selling audiotape program with Nightingale-Conant." Another was, "I intend for my 'Spiritual Marketing' book to become a #1 best-seller at Amazon."

Step Two: Follow your hunches. Listen to your intuition. If you get a desire to make a plan of action, so be it. Do it. But if you get a desire to go for a walk, or to watch television, or to surf web, then do that. You never know where your Inspired Action will take you, but because you set an intention (step one), your intuition will find a short-cut to your dreams.

Inspired Action works because your ego can only see limited terrain while universe can see it all. Your ego might say, "Write a business plan." But your intuition might see that that won't work in your case and instead urge you to do something else, maybe even something strange. Trust it. Inspired Action comes from bigger picture, which you can't always see until you've taken actions you're being inspired to take.

Finally, more you can quiet your mind, still your thoughts, and relax your body, more you will hear inner voice nudging you in direction of your dreams.

When it speaks, move.

That's Inspired Action.

Do it and you'll find amazing new short-cuts direct to fulfillment of your stated desires. It's an easy path more fun, more relaxed, and usually more profitable, than planned action and constant struggle.

Try it and see.

Instead I sent out an email that said, "There is a mistake on her site. If you can spot it, I'll give you a gift." This caused people to be curious, a powerful motivator. It drove traffic to her site. Sales jumped.

What I, Barnum, Joyner, and Hill are doing is one thing: Taking so-called negative experiences in life and turning them into something good. I call this TIISG. It stands for Turn It Into Something Good.

You have ability to do this. It's a choice. No matter what happens, take a breath and ask, "How can I turn this into something good?"

The question redirects your mind. Instead of looking at problem, you are now looking for solutions. This is a brilliant way to learn how to operate your own brain. You become master, not slave, of your life.

Andrew Carnegie -- that tycoon who challenged Napoleon Hill to undertake his 20 year quest to uncover secrets of success -- confessed that principle key to his own staggering success was ability to operate his own mind.

He told Hill, "I am no longer cursed by poverty because I took possession of my own mind, and that mind has yielded me every material thing I want, and much more than I need. But this power of mind is a universal one, available to humblest person as it is to greatest."

It all begins with basic TIISG question: "How can I turn this into something good?"

The answer will bring you new choices, happiness, and may lead to wealth you never dreamed of before.

Just remember TIISG.
