The Power of Outrageous Marketing, but it didn't happen instantaneously. I wanted to be in Nightingale-Conant for years. Every time I had a new book I would submit it. You mentioned The Seven Lost Secrets of Success. I thought for sure that book was going to be in Nightingale-Conant. If any book could be turned into an audio program and carried by Nightingale-Conant, it's The Seven Lost Secrets of Success. But they rejected it. They sent it back. I couldn't believe it! I even got on the phone and called them, and they said, ?No, it's not right for us. It's too short of a book. Can't turn it into an audio package.



Tough.? Well, I had to let go. And this is one of the key steps. I let go. I thought, ?Well, you know, I want to be in Nightingale-Conant. It would be cool if I was in Nightingale-Conant, but I don't want to be addicted to being in Nightingale-Conant.? And this is another clue.

That's exactly right. You might have an attachment to having something or have a need to have it ? that's another way of saying it. I thought, ?OK, universe, the totality of All That Is has a wider vision than Joe's ego.? I said to the universe, ?If Nightingale-Conant isn't right for me, bring me whatever is right for me. For more details go to outsource-beginners.com I would like to be in Nightingale, but if there's Very soon after that I started receiving emails from some stranger who

would ask me questions about one of my latest books, which was on P.T. Barnum, called There's a Customer Born Every Minute. I answered his questions and he would thank me and ask me another question. This went on for a week or two.

Finally, at the end of it ? and I still didn't know who this guy was ? he said, ?I really want to thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. You've been very kind.? He added, ?If you would ever like to have your material considered by Nightingale-Conant, I'm their Senior Marketing Manager. Send everything to me.?

Well, I Fed-Axed him everything I'd ever done by the next day, and this man became an evangelist for me ? so powerful of a cheerleader that he asked for a bunch of photographs of me, and he wallpapered the halls of Nightingale-Conant with my picture. And when they had Christmas that particular year, about four years ago, he took the Star of David down from the Christmas tree at the offices of Nightingale-Conant, and he put my

picture at the top of it.

That's a great observation because that's what took place. I got these emails from him and the little thing inside of me ? that signal, that voice, that feeling ? said, ?Yes, answer his questions.? And I did. I did it, not knowing where it would go because there was no clue as to what he did, or who he was, or where he lived, or anything. For more details go to www.inside-the-minds-of-winner.com There was no clue. There was nothing Joe's ego could see. But the wider universe said, ?Joe, this is a link. We've brought this man to you, so pay attention. Follow your heart.? And my heart said, ?Answer his emails.? I did and the rest is history, as they say.

I believe that the messages come from all types of avenues. They're not just nature, just radio signals, just books, just email, or just anything we can name. They can come from any source, at any direction, at any time. I'll give you an example. When I was working for Exxon, 25, 30 years again Houston, I hated my work. I'd be driving home with tears in my eyes because I was so unhappy. I would pass a road on the freeway that was

called ?Quitman.? Now anybody else that saw the word ?Quitman? just saw a road named Quitman. But, when I saw Quitman, I saw ?Quit, man.? Now, that was my signal coming from within me.

How do we become attuned to getting these signals no matter where they're coming from? I think the real key is in being quiet. Learning to meditate while living in the hectic world of life is the major challenge and the major goal for all of us in Western society. One of the greatest ways to learn how to get quiet is something I heard from a psychic. I think her name was Lillian Cosby. Several years ago we spoke on the same

seminar in Atlanta, and she was advising people to ?be so quiet? ? now listen as I say this ? to ?be so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat.?
