Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

"I’ve been asked this question many times: ‘What is the one single secret that separates successful people from failures?’ The answer can be found in this book."
–Mark Joyner, bestselling author of MindControlMarketing.com

In The 11th Element, you’ll discover a secret–the secret factor that’s absolutely essential for the creation of business success and wealth. This secret factor was originally passed to Bob Scheinfeld by his grandfather, who used it to build Manpower Inc. from a simple idea into a Fortune 500 company with billions in revenue. Bob then used it to create millions of dollars more for himself, selected clients, and protégés across multiple industries.

The 11th Element is the "X-Factor" that separates the typical get-rich-quick scheme from Scheinfeld’s well laid out and documented program. It offers you the secret advantage that fuels the world’s greatest success stories (whether large or small)–including such international success stories as Microsoft, Starbucks, Dell, and Virgin Atlantic.

Your success is shaped by a powerful set of unseen forces that are rarely discussed. The 11th Element shows you how to tap into those forces–commonly mistaken for luck–to open an avalanche of new potential and prosperity in your life.

The 11th Element is an extremely powerful and versatile system that can be customized for every aspect of business success and wealth creation. It will instantly open your eyes to all that’s possible and guide you to success in anything you choose. With it you can:

• Find lucrative business and investment opportunities
• Increase sales, profits, and wealth
• Improve your marketing performance
• Start your own business
• Find and secure your ideal job
• Develop new products and services
• Attract and keep top talent
• Raise funding for your business ideas
• Motivate yourself and others
• Dramatically increase productivity

If you have an open mind and you’re ready to achieve at a higher level than you ever thought possible, The 11th Element will change your life forever. You’ll never look at your life and what you can achieve the same way again.

More About the Author

For more than 20 years, Robert Scheinfeld has been helping people worldwide create extraordinary results, in less time, with less effort, and much more fun.

Robert captivates audiences through his unique and memorable personal stories of transformation and by sharing valuable and empowering insights from his own rich life.

Robert began his path to discovering True Success at age 12 when his tycoon grandfather (founder of Manpower, Inc. - the world's largest temporary help service and Fortune 150 company) told him True Success is based on your ability to tap power in "the invisible world." Unfortunately his grandfather died before he could finish teaching Robert about the invisible world and other secrets of his success.

Scheinfeld, however, was determined to unlock the mystery of success by discovering the inner workings of his grandfather's invisible world. During his journey, Robert spent over 33 years on what he now calls "The Treasure Hunt of the Century." Along the way, he became a multimillionaire (and self-proclaimed stressed-out maniac), plunged $153,000 in debt, and spent seven years struggling before he solved the mystery his grandfather left him with at such a young age. His "Busting Loose" body of work reveals his discoveries and how you can apply them to create True Success in your life.

Along his journey, Robert became a master of applying cutting edge sales and marketing strategies and has had in-the-trenches experience of creating profitable million dollar businesses (on and off the Internet).

For example, Robert helped grow Blue Ocean Software from $1 million to $44 million in less than four years, resulting in the company being named three times to the Inc. Magazine Inc. 500 list. That tremendous growth, accompanied by outrageous profitability, led to Blue Ocean being acquired by software giant Intuit for $177 million.

He also played a key role in growing a computer store franchise company called Connecting Point of America from $90 million to $350 million in sales. In addition, the marketing model and system Robert created was used to pack the room at Tony Robbins multi-media seminars.

Robert's keynote speeches, seminars, books, audios, and other learning resources have helped tens of thousands of people in more than 190 countries transform their definitions of success, and the pathways they follow to create "success" in their lives

More than providing more of the "same old, same old" or another rah-rah motivational pump up job that doesn't last, an interaction with Robert empowers you to see with unusual clarity, act with newfound confidence, and transform the results you produce in your life and work.

He gets you on-track, laser-focused, and tapping into a new kind of power to finally experience the True Financial Freedom you've been searching for.

Robert writes and works from his home in Virginia, where he lives with his wife Cecily, his daughter Ali, his son Aidan, and their dogs Peri and Lulu.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for me, May 14, 2004

By 

earl grey (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 11th Element: The Key to Unlocking Your Master Blueprint For Wealth and Success (Hardcover)

Give your request to your "Inner CEO", or higher self, and go your merry way. That is the gist of the book. That is not a method that has ever brought me any sort of results. I was very diappointed. This book is very similar to I Am Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams, another disappointment.
The author makes a big deal out of how other methods of achievement, such as using visualization, affirmations,the law of atrraction, making plans and taking action, do not work all of the time for all people. (He describes 10 ways in all). The author actually makes it seem like they never work and therefore you should not waste your time with any of them. Certainly, it is true that results are not always forthcoming. However, this book also says that when using the 11th Element you are only making "requests" to you Inner Ceo and that they may not be fulfilled. But apparently that is ok. Scheinfeld seems to be saying to not waste time with any other method that does not work, and instead buy his book and use the 11th Element which may not work either. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars I really used the book and it worked, July 17, 2006

By 

D.K. (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 11th Element: The Key to Unlocking Your Master Blueprint For Wealth and Success (Hardcover)

It is really funny and you see it again and again with self help books: people review the book, praise or pan it, but never ever tell you if they used it or it worked for them.

Robert Scheinfeld has two books out and a fairly expensive "on line course" that is more advanced. I have only used the books.

I used the 11th element book.

His other book, which I own, is the same thing, BUT the topics of the sample letters in the books are different. The 11th Element is about making money, paying debt, getting jobs and the other book is more about personal growth. But the way you make requests is the same, so once you get the format down, you are fine.

So I would say, buy one book and use it. If it works, buy the other book because seeing sample request in the area you wish to work on helps.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In essense he has you write a letter to your Higher Self or "Inner CEO" or subconsious (SC).

I think ONE of the reasons it works is because unlike other books, he educates your SC how to help bring things about (unlike another school of thought which says that your SC or higher self knows all and can get all).

Though not highlighted, that is what is NEW in this book, IMO.

Using the book, which is really about manifesting your hearts desire and I got a number of things: Women, women, creative concepts, jobs, and a series of outcomes that I asked for.

For Scheinfeld, when you ask: you must be clear and if you do not get your desire answered (having been clear and used his form letter for requests), it was answered anway because you make the request to your inner CEO for what you want, "or even something better". So something not happening, he would say, is for the best.

Some may not like this answer and I find it very limiting. But what I listed above was stuff I did ask for in a very specific way that came to be.

I gave the book to a friend, and she got wealth and reduced gliches in her life.

Reading the book, by the way, is the MOST work you will have to do with his system. So you have to wonder about the reviewers who read the book but did not follow up.

Here is what I did: I set up an e-mail for my inner-CEO. Each request I wrote was a simple, because I cut and pasted out of previous letters some of the standard language I had used before in other manifestation requests.

1.0 out of 5 stars More of the Same, December 14, 2004

This review is from: The 11th Element: The Key to Unlocking Your Master Blueprint For Wealth and Success (Hardcover)

I was really excited about getting this book, after reading all the reviews. It appeared as if there was something new out there. Then I read it and I am truly disappointed. It really is more of the same. I have read these concepts over and over, time and time again in various books and in the varying schools of metaphysical teachings. Yes sometimes they work, yes sometimes they don't, even here with Bob's concepts, they still don't work some of the time, so what's new???
The concepts seem to have been honed from varying resources, some which were very recognizeable,..especially the give me this or something better.
I also was bothered by the author pointing one to watch the truman show and other outside materials for a better concept of what his book was supposed to be aimed at explaining to you. His grasp of the inner ceo also was very one dimentional, and I never did get a good feel for that. One would think if the book is based on working with your inner "ceo", (better known to most who have been around the block, your higher self, or subconscious) and working the network,(better known as Jung's collective unconscious) you would first need a good feel for the inner "ceo" to begin with, I felt the author fell really flat there.
I gave it one star for one reason, I had no other choice, and I suppose it is worthy of one star as there are some people, obviously from the reviews, that just haven't been exposed to the metaphysical concepts of life. All in all I suppose it is just another book, with another secret method, that if followed diligently step by step, you will succeed at manifesting your desires.....SOME of the time!!!
