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.

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.

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.

Once you've read any of Joe Vitale's marketing books, you are hooked - AND - they are all worth it. I started out as an engineer, so marketing doesn't come easy. But Joe "Mr. Fire" Vitale is helping me to think like a marketer. His proactive style really mixes well with mine; I think he has a knack for writer to each person as if you happen to be the one he intended the book for. Joe has written the perfect book for those of us who want our major purpose in life to be in harmony with God's plans!

Needless to say Spiritual Marketing is already playing a huge role in helping me to be a successful writer. Ever since reading the first book of Joe's, I have considered him to be a success mentor. His wisdom is easy to follow - but more than that, it is right on! I guarantee that if you read Spiritual Marketing you will have tons of marketing ideas for marketing your business and yourself so that you feel congruent with life - it's that incredible.

In his books and tapes, Joe always covers all of the proactive bases: smart thinking, system thinking, futuristic thinking, and positive thinking. If you are truly seeking the kind of success and abundance that makes your life 100% livable - you must read this book. Some of the ideas Joe promotes are found in SUCCESS BOUND, another book built on learning how to live a proactive life that is God centered and fulfilling.

My recommendation to you is, take a few minutes each day and ponder the wisdom and truths of this book and let them seep deep into your subconscious mind. Then, move out confidently towards fulfilling your dreams and goals, knowing you are one with the Creator and are truly success bound.

I have spent the day reading Spiritual Marketing by Joe Vitale.

Have you ever been frantically searching for your favorite pen or glasses and you're tearing your house apart searching and swearing and the harder you look, the more frustrated you get? The more you do the less ground you cover? Then you look in the mirror and your glasses have been on your face all along or your pen is in the other hand as you've been lifting things? LOL (yes, I've done that)

Well that's the experience I had with this book.

I have read other personal development books, money books you name it, I've probably read it...but suddenly, after searching for the answer to what exactly was blocking me.

Why would I come so close and stop myself whenever I had a goal, especially money-goals?

Then a light went on in my head! I felt a physical shift inside of me while reading and doing the simple exercises that Joe describes in his book.

I started writing about my present negative condition that I was having with money and all of a sudden, it was as if I was in a tunnel and my hand and mind were just on their own. Honestly, I didn't even see the paper I was writing on.

Like an onion, layer after layer my negative feelings came out and I realized that I knew EXACTLY what was blocking me from getting to the next level in money matters and in life. With each feeling that I wrote about another deeper layer was uncovered until something in my mind and body said "Eureka" that's it! All of a sudden the "lights" came back on and I felt 1,000 pounds lighter. I felt the feelings I've been trying not to remember and was able to release them. I felt all the pain and anger go right out of me - for real. I truly thought I had done that, but had "forgotten" about the real anger and fear that I was carrying that was buried deeply inside of my heart and mind, stopping me from moving forward.

I was shaking and light and greatful and at the same time felt so receptive to everything good that the universe has been waiting to give me that I've been stopping. I don't know how to explain it. It's like I've been walking around in the dark for years without realizing it. I felt as if I was looking at my living room for the first time ever. I felt the goodness of the universe just surround me and realized that I was the one blocking it from surrounding me in the first place.

But that's not it. I went back to my office checked my e-mail and I had two people join my team. One that I've never met and the other that I spoke to briefly and set up an appt w/ for today, but she e-mailed me and said that she just felt compelled to join right away. Then my phone rang and it was my sponsor who felt compelled to place someone under me. He said he was talking to a woman and as he was getting ready to sign her up, he thought of me and gave her my referral number instead of his. Then I got a call from someone that I spoke to about 2 months ago and he told me that he would be signing up today. My phone did not stop ringing until about 9pm last night. No one was pukey. The goal I had set up for myself a few weeks ago was reached without my struggling. Wow! Thank you, Universe!

I have always believed in miracles, after all, my daughter is a miracle, but when I prayed for her to live, I also promised that I would never ask for anything else. I would gladly give up ever wanting anything else. I blocked myself from recieving. I now realize that the universe doesn't keep a tab. It will keep giving as long as I allow it to.

I feel as if my life will never be the same again. If you haven't read this book, please do so right away.

There are no coincidences :-)

Vitale is a guru in his field, perhaps self-appointed, but a guru just the same. His steps are consise and powerful. Your life will change if you follow them. I bought "Outrageous Marketing", also by Joe. It is fantastic as well. The main idea he promotes is that you can do whatever you want, have what you want, and be who you want to be if you are willing to take certain 'spiritual steps'. These steps are nothing but absolute laws of nature that must be observed by everything on the face of the earth. I highly recommend it.

Sometimes it's not what is said, but who says it and how.

Joe Vitale is a modern day magician. He can raise the dead back to life. Dead businesses, dead marketing, and now... dead dreams.

It used to be that we looked to poets for the words that move us. But today, who knows how to trigger our emotional buttons more expertly than the geniuses of marketing and copywriting?

Like many people, I learnt about Joe Vitale through his marketing and copywriting products at his mrfire.com website.

So I was intrigued to learn about this new SPIRITUAL MARKETING book. I read it in one sitting. Then got my wife to read it. Then emailed some people to go check it out. I loved it! So did they!

Marketing is a reality-based profession. It's grounded in the here and now. Spirituality, on the other hand, can produce some real "flakes". Nice people with big ideals who haven't a clue when it comes to surviving and thriving in the real world.

Joe Vitale is a man grounded in the science of getting the results you want in the fastest, most efficient way possible.
Marketeers are explorers. Constantly looking for ways to improve what they do and who they are. Joe's search led him to some extraordinarily insightful people. With a marketeers eye, he has plundered the treasure chest of wisdom for the true gems and honed them into a system that can produce results.

I've certainly read a lot of info like this. But I respect this author and therefore listened a lot closer to what he had to say.

Joe Vitale walks his talk. And I found this book very effective, insightful and timely. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed Spiritual Marketing very much. Although I am not new to the principals the book is based on, Joe brings a fresh voice to the subject of how you can use your thoughts to create your physical reality. He is warm, humerous, effective and just plain fun. He invites you to do what he does--to enjoy the same positive success he enjoys using the same spiritual tools he employs--and he spells those out in detail. It is a light, yet powerful "read."

I have purchased other eBook products from Joe's website (www.mrfire.com) and have been pleased with those publications as well. His positive enthusiasm is contageous.
Thanks, Joe!

Joe,
I had difficulty putting into words how I felt about reading "Spiritual Marketing". I have read my share of books related to creating abundance, and I am no stranger to working with this in spiritual meditations. With that in mind it should be no surprise to you that I didn't find anything new in the contents of your book except, of course, those wonderful true events you had provided.

The theory and the steps are information I was already aware of, so why has this book started things happening in my life when all of the prior information I absorbed had little or no effect? Before I touch on that I want to be clear that I accept self responsibility and it is not up to a book to change my life, it is up to me.

Within the same day of finishing the book I received three different sources for income. In reading the book I felt a definite shift in my reality, which I can explain - sort of.

What I found in reading Spiritual Reality was that it talked to the body as well as to spirit. Whenever we try to make changes in our life we run into many body arguments to keep things just the way they are. The simple exercises in the book managed to involve the body and then get it out of the way to let the spirit do what it does best - create life.

Thank you for this little gem.

Thanks Joe Vitale!
This book has re-opened my eyes, and I am no dewey eyed innocent on the threshold of maturity, but a mature sixty with forty years of commercial and IT experience, most of it at an executive level. I have read many motivational books and found most of them interesting, but none have gripped me so strongly that I read it from first word to last without a break. Joe's book takes you back to your beginnings when the world was your oyster and shows you that it still is. Even more, he reminds you of the truth of your early feelings and attitudes which have been beaten out of you over the years, and restores the confidence you once felt. I recommend this book to anyone who has reached the stage that I had, knowing that I was swimming across the current of life or even against it, not knowing how to change direction and go with the flow again. This book is inspirational. So stop chasing your tail and read it. You will never regret it. Thanks again Joe.
