Inner Directed Marketing - A New Way to Prosper in Tough Times

Written by Joe Vitale


One day many years ago I asked a man how he got new business. He replied, "Angels hand out my business cards."

Yes, that's really what he said. I thought he was pretty strange, too, so I didn't pursuerepparttar matter with him. But I did notice that he seemed busy and prosperous. He was getting business, some how, some way.

A year or so ago another man and I were talking. I asked himrepparttar 121783 same question. He answered, "Mostly I get business by wishing for it." He, too, seemed busy and doing well.

I'm not kidding here. But were they?

I don't think so. If you've read my latest book, "Spiritual Marketing," you know I believe in magic and miracles. But you would also know that I believe in being practical. If wishing doesn't work, it needs replaced. If angels aren't bringing in new business, they need fired.

But here'srepparttar 121784 rub:

Wishing and angels DO seem to bring in new business.

Quit rolling your eyes. Let me explain:

When I was in Las Vegas October 6, 2001, forrepparttar 121785 now famous Guerilla Marketing Boot Camp featuring best-selling author Jay Conrad Levinson and Aesop Marketing's CEO Mark Joyner, I met many "old friends" forrepparttar 121786 first time. I didn't get to spend enough time with any of them, butrepparttar 121787 brief moments I had with a couple of them were illuminating.

Joe Sugarman,repparttar 121788 genius behindrepparttar 121789 world-wide success of BluBlocker sunglasses andrepparttar 121790 author of several masterpieces on marketing, walked up to me and congratulated me on my "Spiritual Marketing" book.

"I didn't know you were so spiritual," he said. "That was a real surprise to learn. That's what I've been doing for years."

What!?

One ofrepparttar 121791 greatest marketing minds inrepparttar 121792 history of America just admitted that he used SPIRITUAL principles to make money!?!?!!?!?

And to make A LOT of money, at that!?

Days later, once he and I had returned to our homes afterrepparttar 121793 seminar, Joe sent me an email saying he practiced a simple two-step process for getting results: Visualize it and let it go.

That's it!

Okay, okay. I've got one man talking to angels, another wishing for business, and Joe Sugarman imagining his desires and letting them just, well, go.

What's happening here?

I'll tell you what's happening. It's an awakening in business. My friend John Harricharan, author ofrepparttar 121794 great book, "The Power Pause," once told me, "The next trend will be spiritual. We went throughrepparttar 121795 information age. We're now going intorepparttar 121796 spiritual age."

Justrepparttar 121797 other day John wrote me an email saying, "There is a loud cry and yearning for things ofrepparttar 121798 spirit, but not like it used to be. Nowrepparttar 121799 world is looking for "practical spirituality" -- not spirituality that spends an hour or two a week in a church, synagogue, mosque or temple. But a spirituality that pervades our business, our relationships and all phases of our lives. It's like my late, great friend, Sun Bear once said, 'If your medicine doesn't grow corn, of what use is it?'"

More and more people today are beginning to realize that their power for creating wealth inrepparttar 121800 world isn't THEIR power at all.

Instead, it'srepparttar 121801 right use of THE power---which isrepparttar 121802 energy of all that is.

But, how do you use this strange new way to get more business?

Simple. I call it "Inner Directed Marketing." Consider it a shorthand version of "Spiritual Marketing." Consider it a slight refinement of what Joe Sugarman said he does. Here's how it works:

Step One: Set an intention.

Intention rulesrepparttar 121803 earth. When you state "I WILL..." or "I AM..." and then completerepparttar 121804 sentence with a clear statement of whatever it is you want to be, do, or have, you create a command that vibrates with power. An example might be, "I WILL write an article on Inner Directed Marketing that helps people easily get better results and which will somehow lead to my receiving $50,000 every month in passive income." Tall order? Maybe. But I believe anything is possible, so why not shoot forrepparttar 121805 moon? As Robert Collier said, "Plantrepparttar 121806 seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment." It also helps if I clearly visualize this intention, and if I fully feel what it would be like to *already* have achieved it.

Step Two: Let it go.
