Spiritual Marketing: A Proven 5-Step Formula for Easily Creating Wealth from the Inside Out [Paperback]

Joe Vitale (Author), Bob Proctor (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 19, 2002

I admit it.I never wanted to publish this book or make it available to a wide audience.I was scared.I wrote this book for one person: My sister. Bonnie had three kids, was unemployed, and was on welfare. It hurt me to see her suffer. I knew her life could be different if she knew the five step process I developed for creating whatever she wanted. I wrote this material for her, and only for her, in 1997. She's now off welfare and doing fine. She's not rich yet, but I think I've shown her a new way to live life.I never wanted to make this book public because I was nervous about how the world would perceive me. I've written ten books so far, for such well known and conservative organizations as the American Marketing Association and the American Management Association. I also have an audiotape program with Nightingale-Conant. I figured if I told the world about my interest in spirituality, people would ridicule me, clients would fire me, and these organizations would shun me. So I played it safe and kept this book a secret.But in June, 1999 I felt the inner urge to give a copy of the manuscript to this book to Bob Proctor, at the beginning of one of his Science of Getting Rich seminars. Bob read it and loved it. And then he did something shocking.There were 250 people in that seminar in Denver. Bob stood before them and read off all of my book titles, and then introduced me to the crowd. I stood and the crowd applauded. They treated me like a celebrity and I loved the attention.But then Bob told everyone about my new book, my unpublished book, about this book. I was surprised. I wasn't ready for this. I held my breath. And then Bob told them the title to it: Spiritual Marketing.There was such a hush throughout the crowd that chills went up my spine. Not only did people favorably react to the book, but they all wanted it, and now. At least fifty people came up and said they wanted to buy the book. Bob Proctor later said he wanted to record it. And one publisher in the s

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformational Book, November 14, 2002

By 

Juliet L Easton (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiritual Marketing: A Proven 5-Step Formula for Easily Creating Wealth from the Inside Out (Paperback)

I owe Joe Vitale a debt of gratitude. I had read about intention statements before I read this book, but reading Spiritual Marketing is what finally propelled me to actually write one. I did this on August 16, 2001 and it is amazing the way my life is becoming aligned with my intentions.

My business has grown from $6,000 - $8,000 per month earlier this year to now $75,000 per month in September and October. Most of that growth is due to people I did not know contacting me out of nowhere with fantastic opportunites to promote my business.

I have also discovered numerous things that are helping me tremendously with some health problems that have plagued me for years. These discoveries were also through phone calls from people I did not know or from people who were not even interested in natural health! (This has also been a key to the growth of my business. :-)

I have had doors opening all over the place in my life since I wrote this intention statement.

Below is my intention statement. I am sharing it in hopes that it may be of benefit to others.
________________________________

I now live a balanced life, full of love, abundance, and miracles, that is flowing and smooth.

I am centered and full of energy and love.

I radiate pure love to everyone around me and it is contagious.

My presence on this planet will positively impact the lives of billions of people.

I now have positive loving relationships with everyone I see and meet.

My very presence shifts people's energy into a positive state.

I attract people into my life that can help me achieve more love, peace, and abundance and for whom I can reciprocate the same.

I am healthy, in great physical shape, and beautiful inside and out.

I am in constant connection with God and I experience almost constant cosmic inner giggles at all the amazing miracles I am experiencing everyday.

I am filled with overflowing gratitude for all the abundance and miracles in my life.

Everything I need comes into my life automatically, without effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy Joe's other book, Attractor Factor, instead!, August 20, 2006

By 

Chris Dingman "Crooked Roads Songwriter" (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiritual Marketing: A Proven 5-Step Formula for Easily Creating Wealth from the Inside Out (Paperback)

The only reason I give this book one star is because everything in it is also in Vitale's other book The Attractor Factor. Attractor is an expanded and much better version that I rated 5 stars and which I highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars A slightly misleading title, June 25, 2003

By 

J. A. Storey "John S" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Spiritual Marketing: A Proven 5-Step Formula for Easily Creating Wealth from the Inside Out (Hardcover)

I felt misled by the title when I bought this book. I expected it to be about marketing in the traditional sense, perhaps with a different twist but basically about marketing. Instead I found that the word is used in its widest possible sense that we all `market' ourselves all the time by the vibration we are giving out to the world. The book is nothing to do with traditional marketing techniques and everything to do with clarifying our personal vibration to attract the things we want into our lives.

So I felt disappointed because I have already read a number of good books along these lines. What does Joe Vitale's book add? Well, he has some personal success stories to tell, which are always interesting. Of his 5-step formula, 4 of them were not new to me, but may be new to others. However, the one step he gives most attention to, happily, was the one that was most useful to me: getting clear, in the sense of emotional clearing, identifying those limiting beliefs and emotions that might be sabotaging your best intentions. I tried one of the methods suggested in this chapter and it was a very illuminating process for me. I am also taking steps to get someone who can help further as Joe suggests.

So finally I was glad I had bought this book. It is a quick and easy read, but be aware that if you have read this kind of book before, you may not encounter much that is new to you here.
