Dear Friends,

I've been on a tear.

For the past two weeks I've spent my weekends tearing out pictures from magazines that represent what I want in all areas of my life: health, wealth, spirituality, relationships, intellect.

I was inspired by my client James Ray, one of the stars in the movie The Secret. And I wasn't the only one. Larry King will be having him on his show, Beyond Positive Thinking, on November 16th so be sure to watch. The first part of this 2 part series is on November 2 and I suggest you watch both if you're interested in focusing your attention on what you want out of your life.

What I realized, is that the things I've trained my attention on--a great relationship with my sweetie, a happy, harmonious home and clients who I love who are making a mark in the world, has all come into being. But the areas that I haven't clarified or spent time on, haven't. I'm changing that now.

There are three areas James says are necessary to make what you wish for a reality. You need to go three for three. Your thoughts, feelings and actions must be in alignment before you can get what you want. If you think it, but don't believe it and really feel it through and through, then zilch. Or, if you really feel it strongly, but don't act, zilch again.

So when I spoke to 100 women at an Ewomen Network event last week I had the thoughts, the feelings and then I took action. I asked for help for what I wanted (which is part of how they network): to put my book, "Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul®" into the hands of every person on the planet who wants to share his/her gifts with the world through publicity.

While I was writing "Sell Yourself" I envisioned that anyone who felt drawn to it would find it. I did this every single day before I sat down to write. I imagined my audience and how happy they would be to discover they didn't need to brag, beg or whore themselves to get great publicity.

But since then, I confess I've gotten caught up with so many other things that I've lost a little of the oomph. I've decided to re-envision my original intention since it's so important to me. The first thing I did was to cut out the New York Times Bestseller list from the book review section of the New York Times and paste my book's title in the #1 spot. So what if it's been out in the marketplace for three years? It's never too late to begin anything.

If you've read it and benefited from it will you pass on the word? Your friends, colleagues and co-workers can get it here. If you haven't read it, and are wanting to promote yourself with integrity and spirit, there is no better time than now.

Partnerships are incredibly powerful. Of course, you can become an affiliate first and enjoy some extra income before you pass on the word if you like at: http://prsecrets.com/affiliateinfo.html

Begin to envision what you want your PR to bring you. And go three for three. I'd love to hear about your results.

Warmly,

Susan

Blogging: Hype or High Profile?

Do any of you care what I eat for breakfast?

I don't think so. Many blogs are just too darn personal. But blogs don't have to be about your messy underwear drawer or your kid's latest tantrum, they can be an inside look at your industry or your take on the news. Here are a few tips on creating content if you're using your blog to grow your business.

1. Stick with your subject.

No one wants to hear your thoughts on parenting if you're an expert in Caribbean culture. Go native and we're all ears. Natter on about the latest sippy cups and we'll click to someone who knows what's best for baby. One of the women in my writing groups has a husband who is a flight instructor. Flying is his passion. He quit his job in high tech to fly. His blog is about flying small planes. He has a very tight niche of readers who hang on his every word.

2. Surprise us.

The best best sellers are the ones that didn't start out with the goal of selling lots of copies, but arose from passion--or what author of 27 books, Bill O'Hanlon says from being "blissed, blessed, pissed or dissed."

Julie Powell didn't want to be dissed. She began to blog at the suggestion of her husband to save herself from her government secretarial position and impending childlessness. Her concept: to cook 524 recipes in Julia Child's classic 1961 cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume 1."

A blog about systematic recipe making? Who'd have thunk it? But scores of fans followed her progress on the salon.com website and the blog went to auction as a book titled: "Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen." It's sold over 150,000 copies. Since the book is done Powell has found another blogging subject: the book tour. Not so much of a surprise, but what a way to keep her loyal fans enthralled.

3. Be a personality.

Miss Snark is a literary agent (or so she says) who schools the ill-mannered masses in literary etiquette and harps on about the publishing industry: http://misssnark.blogspot.com/. She's hip, she's snarky, she loves George Clooney. She tells us what she's read in 2006. We care because we're curious. Who is this vicious babe who poses as a high heeled heartless bookworm while we can see that she's a softie beneath the snark?

Whatever you choose to snark or comment about make sure it's relevant to the audience you want to cultivate. Blogging takes time, but it can be a quick way to develop a devoted following.

Conversations with God: The Movie

The movie, based on the book of the same name, which has sold more than 7 million copies worldwide in ten years is getting a second chance at life: much like the author himself. Neale Donald Walsch was homeless and had a broken neck before he became a best-selling author and international star. The true story dramatizes Walsch's experiences at the lowest point in his life asking God some
very hard questions.

Walsch just completed a 44 day publicity tour (here's the "action" part of encouraging reality to catch up with your dreams). The film just opened this week. You can join America's fastest growing DVD club today to watch movies making a difference.
