Today I ended up on this page after clicking a link in Joel's Adsense Secrets ebook I just purchased 3 days ago for $9.95. I just watched Part 1 of this 'A Dot Com Story' series and left a comment about how I overcome challenges and negativity in life. In this part 2, Joel mentions praying, asking God for help and believing in himself when his new-found venture World Village seemed to fall apart. I have had many similar experiences over the past 30 years, and for twenty of those years, I usually attributed my miraculous turn-arounds to my daily practice of Maharishi's technique of Transcendental meditation and advanced TM-Sidhi program (including yogic flying), which often resulted in what I called Support of Mother Nature (which can be equated to God's support). In the past ten years, however, I found out through personal experience that it is always me, my self or ego--and all the negative self-sabotaging thoughts and emotions I or my ego entertains--which are responsible for keeping my good fortune from manifesting. Even more importantly, I realized that it wasn't really God or Mother Nature which was responsible for turning my life around, but my life always turned around and got better the moment I (me) was willing to STOP creating and entertaining my negative thoughts and emotions. Not as a result of changing the circumstances which I previously blamed for feeling negative, but DIRECTLY as a result of my own personal inner choice to stop the non-sensical blaming game (which I believe to be the result of mankind's belief in cause and effect as an absolute law of Nature). I also discovered that the transformation of my life and its various circumstances is so much easier and more profound when I focus on creating freedom from the negative emotions about life and about what I don't like--WITHOUT having to change the latter first. And interestingly, when I do that--when I make the choice to no longer feel negative about stuff, and especially when I also choose to stop it for good--all the wonderful miracles that I used to attribute to God or Mother Nature are an automatic by-product or side-benefit. This doesn't mean that I no longer believe in God; it just confirms what God and all scriptures have always been saying...that God's kingdom (the experience of love, abundance, bliss, etc.) has always been there for the taking and enjoying--if only man hadn't started putting all the negativity on top of it and hadn't been stubbornly righteous about how hard life is, i.e. if only man (incl. men or women) hadn't chosen to be his or her own greatest enemy. Fortunately, there is now a simple way to turn things around by simply realizing that it's a choice, and then just making that choice of stopping the negative emotion--preferably for good. It really is that simple when I make the choice. And when I choose freedom of a particular unwanted condition for good (and I really mean it), that is what I get each time--permanent freedom from whatever the negative emotion or thought or experience was. And I then KNOW THIS deep within (and it gets confirmed over time). This leaves a free space in which I can then choose whatever else I want to choose, easily and effortlessly. It's so cool. And it's NOT mystical at all. So Joel, I am right with you on what you describe here, even though my experience of what you talk about may be slightly different.

I just bought the Adsense Secret 4 Book, apparently because it is now $10. It contains a lot of information. To me, Joel is Adsense Genius! He deserves a global award for his innovation in the field of internet business.

He is one of my virtual online mentors who I admire most.

Thanks a lot as I dedicate my new blog http://www.tellmeonline.net/ to you

One take out message from this video

GET SOLD OUT TO YOUR BUSINESS...leave the rest to GOD

Joel,

You have interesting timing here...

You and I met at Carl's Galletti seminar a couple years ago, this subject did not come up, at lunch, but I enjoyed what we all talked about. I asked the question of the table if anyone played games and at first everyone said no, then as they thought about it they did play, whether it was cell phone games or other types.

I find myself in the cycle you speak of... full-time in internet marketing, right on the edge. I have all of the pieces together, and the goal is to really help clients that need coaches for their customers. We have the coaches lined up, and ready to teach, we have the basic subjects covered by specialist who have been coaching for years, in eBay trading, Stocks and Options, Real Estate investing, Forex investing, and internet marketing. I kept having the promise of "angel investors" but none materialized, as I kept spending my life savings on the project, hoping to get traction, or investors before we ran out of cash.

This is the week... I believe in myself and that the universe will provide what is needed to keep on going, I just may have to find that it is a different direction than I thought it was... letting go of a projected $12 million dollar business right now would be hard to do.

I have run multi million dollar business units for large corporations, where funding was never an issue, lay out the plan get it approved, start the project, cash the checks...

So wondering about grocery money, when just a few sales would put us back in the black, is testing me...

I will come back and let you know how it all came together... and of course if you know anyone looking for a very healthy return on their cash... I'm all ears!

You have helped many people with your books and other training material, and I really enjoyed the TV show... so keep up the good work.

Rick

Thanx, Joel for reminding us where our help comes from!

I think you are my business angel...really. My blog still needs tweaking and perhaps more angels. I told my wife over lunch a few days ago that if nothing else works, then I do not know what to do. Then bam, Adsense Secrets for $9.95 with all the tips I wish I had when starting out!

Keep going at it Joel.I am one guy who prays there will be more guys like you on the net!

I know the 1.75c situation, I just keep believing that investor will come my way soon because I truely believe in what I have and am doing
