Sometimes you do things that are beyond logic or reason. You make a decision on impulse and thinking back on it you are wondering why on earth you were motivated to do this.

Like something I did myself last week…

It was a bright sunny morning when I woke up from a great dream. Feeling very content and happy I got dressed and made myself breakfast. The kids were already playing outside and I was enjoying the nice and quiet time by myself.

When I opened my email a little while later I was surprised to find a paypal payment notification for a software I had created over a year ago and never seriously promoted. I had been using it mostly to give away as a bonus.

(This software is called “Joe Vitale’s Hypnotic Sales Letter Analyzer” and it’s actually the bonus that Chris Elliott considered to be my only valuable one. See my post of June 30th about bonuses…)

To be completely honest - this was the very first time I made a sale with this software!

Feeling really happy and excited about this, I wrote my customer on impulse offering him the Thin Electrons package as a surprise thank you. Hit the send button the same minute and then the little voice kicked in…

  • “If you want to be successful with making money online, you shouldn’t be giving your products away when somebody makes a single purchase!”

Dur…

  • “Come on! You know perfectly well that the real success is in the ’second helping’. Satisfied and dazzled customer comes back over and over again to buy more of what you have to offer.”

Hmmm…

That’s in essence the message from Mark’s book “The Great Formula”.I wonder if after a year of attempting to guide me into becoming a successful marketer he still has any hairs left to pull out…

  • “Probably not.”

Oh shut up!

Then a couple of hours later the following email arrives:

Patricia,

Since you were so generous in offering the additional information to me I will share with you.

Do you know about http://thesecret.tv? If not go there today and check it out. We watched it twice online before our copy arrived in the mail yesterday. So nice to have the info in a visual format.

Thank you again.

Donald J.

I didn’t know about this. So I went to the site and watched. And I was blown away completely…

Today I still wouldn’t have known about ‘The Secret’ if I hadn’t decided to give away the Thin Electrons package to Donald. And in retrospect I’m very grateful I did.

You don’t become successful by being 100% rational about what you do all the time. It’s starts with being authentic. Being real and loving yourself because of it.

Then I remembered something Mark once wrote me:

Want to know my real secret?
Just be yourself.
Stop caring what other people think.
Do what you believe is right.

MJ

If this last quote causes a stir inside, you will definitely enjoy watching “The Secret” at:
http://thesecret.tv

Be happy!

Patricia

P.S.
As for some synchronicity. This experience came about because Donals purchased my Joe Vitale’s Hypnotic Sales Letter Analyzer software. Guess who’s featured in “The Secret”…
