Why would I use my blog to SELL my upcoming seminar (a seminar that lasts six months) with Michael Neill on how to create wealth through the law of creation versus crossing your fingers and hoping for the best (sometimes known as the law of attraction.)
Why would I openly sell on a blog that people innocently read? Why would anybody ever sell anything? Why exchange value? Why not SEIZE the wealth of others and redistribute it to those with the most depressing grievances?
I got an email the other day that criticized my blogs that said, "Seth Godin would never do that. Seth expresses gratitude in his blogs. Seth never markets without permission." Seth is careful not to sell because his reputation is important to him.
My reputation is not important to me. If I can help people, I will.
My favorite teacher is Byron Katie and when she says, "Personalities cannot love. They want something." I rejoice that someone has finally pointed that out. Fearless. Club fearless. Club fearless members get daily messages from me. I try to drive people from the club with messages that stretch them to the breaking point. In many cases I succeed. But many members merely grow more fearless. A message to the club is below. So you can see what daily messages to the club are like. Am I trying to sell you club fearless? Am I trying to sell you the money mastermind Michael and I are delivering to a few brave souls who have read my book 100 Ways to Create Wealth and want to move it from theory to practice?
Seth would never do that.

financially fearless cold-calling:
Come in from the storm. Have the whole conversation be safe and warm like a fire in the fireplace when snowflakes fall. And the big ponies are waiting to pull your sleigh.

financially fearless career planning:
"No valid plans for the future can be made
by those who have no capacity for living now."
~Alan Watts
When I coach people who have small businesses, or who are coaches or consultants, or who raise children or lead other people, I notice that their greatest opportunity for success is right in front of them in the very next conversation they are about to have.
Yet they fly past that conversation, tagging it, like a drive-by shooting, racing to get to their "better" future. When I recommend that they slow down it goes against their inner anxiety, that anxiety
that runs their lives, as they strain so hard against their leash they begin to lose oxygen. At night, they don't sleep, they pass out.
No wonder no valid plans for the future can be made. Those plans are all fear-based because they want a "better" world than the one that presents itself in this next conversation, this world of infinite opportunity.

Sell whatever you can, Steve, because it makes a difference in peoples' lives. I know that because your work has made a difference in mine. If you don't sell it, how will I know about it? The expensive workshops like the one with Michael Neil are inspirations that tell me, yes, I could build a business strong enough so I could go on that one day. It makes me more joyful even though I can't afford it now. Also through Club Fearless I have received so much. Sometimes just the postage on the book, for example, has been more than the club fee for that month.
So thank you Steve and please keep doing what you are doing.
best wishes,
Richard
