A
Secret About Money
by Joe Vitale
Let
me tell you a secret about money.
One
day Pat O'Bryan, a wonderful Texas musician well
known in Europe, walked into a Master Mind group
we are in and announced, "One day I'm going
to write a book titled, 'The Myth of Passive Income.'"
He
was joking. Everyone laughed. He had been working
hard on his site at www.InstantChange.com
and realized from first-hand experience that there
is little passive about passive income.
I
heard an opportunity.
"You
ought to write that book right now," I said.
Everyone
shut up. They looked at me.
"It's
a great idea," I explained. "People
think passive income is doing nothing all day
and making money while you sleep. It isn't quite
like that. So let's blow the whistle and tell
people the truth."
Pat
was beginning to learn how to act when an opportunity
popped up.
"I'll
do it," he said.
We
met in the parking lot after the group meeting.
He asked, "Would you go ahead and write a
letter asking people making money online if they
would contribute an article to our book? We just
want to know what a typical day for them is like.
I bet they don't sit around doing nothing."
Suddenly
I was the coauthor in this project. Well, I see
opportunities and jump on them, too. I agreed.
I
went home, went to my computer, and drafted a
letter. It was simple. I asked people online if
they would tell us what a day was like in their
"passive" world. I sent the letter to
Pat. He approved it almost instantly. I then sent
it out to every list owner I knew. This all happened
within maybe three hours.
Within
24 hours we had wonderful articles by David Garfinkel
and Tom Antion. Later the same day I heard from
Jim Edwards, Yanik Silver, Jo Han Mok, and other
online giants, all agreeing to send articles for
our book.
And
we just released the ebook today. (See it at MythOfPassiveIncome.com.)
Now
note what happened here:
A
spontaneous joke became a project. That project
began to take form within three hours. And within
one day the book was being written -- and not
by Pat OR me.
This
process is how I created such money-making digital
products as my online e-classes, several bestselling
e-books, and even a few online promotional campaigns.
I came up with the ideas and within minutes acted
on them. The result: Success.
So
what does money like?
Money
likes speed.
That's
the secret few know about money.
Money
comes to those who act fast.
If
you think, wonder, question, doubt, plan, meet,
discuss, or in any other way drag your feet, money
goes to the next person in line.
If
you want to know how I've managed to write so
many books and articles, it's because I act fast.
This very article is an example.
Twenty
minutes ago I got the idea to write something
about "Money liking action." I thought
I should write it some day. Then I thought, "Why
not NOW?"
Well,
here you go.
It's
done.
And
I'm now sending it out to the online world. It
will tell people about me and my products, send
some people to my site at www.MrFire.com
and others to Pat's site at www.InstantChange.com
and still others to MythOfPassiveIncome.com
and we'll both make money now and later.
It
happened because I know a secret about money.
You
now know the secret, too.
So
-- What are YOU waiting to do?
