JOE VITALE John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page iv ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page i Praise for The Attractor Factor “I was heavily in debt and had lost my job and my car. Within 48 hours of discovering Joe’s five steps in The Attractor Factor, I got another car, which cost me nothing, and received my first freelance writing project. In less than five months, the debt was gone, I paid cash for a brand-new SUV, started my own successful online business, met my future wife, and moved to a dream setting in the Texas hill country. This book will help you attract whatever you wish to bring into your life—fast!” —Bill Hibbler, Owner, www.Gigtime.com “This book really slaps people on the head and gets them thinking. It’s the ultimate self-improvement manual and it’s gonna blow some socks off!” —Nerissa Oden, www.TheVideoQueen.com “Why do some people have all the luck and get everything they want, while others struggle? Is there a ‘secret’ that, if you only knew it, could change everything? Yes, definitely— and Joe Vitale knows what it is. I highly recommend The Attractor Factor to anyone who wants to change their relation- ship to money and prosperity—or who just enjoys reading great writing.” —Bill Harris, President, www.Centerpointe.com “Understand this is not just a book. It contains the key to un- leash the ‘genie’ in you so you can grant your own wishes on demand. Quite simply, this is the only book you need to get whatever you want from your life. Buy it now.” —Craig Perrine, www.easymiracles.com ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page ii “If ‘working hard’ worked as a wealth strategy, then every hard worker would be a multimillionaire. If dreaming alone brought you your heart’s desire, then we would all be deliri- ously happy (since we all dream, at least when we sleep). So what is the secret of health, wealth, and enduring happiness? Joe Vitale has it; I’ve tried it; we’ve both made it work (as have a select group of others), and now you can, too! Just read this book and follow its surprisingly simple directions.” —David Garfinkel, Author, Copywriting Templates “Joe Vitale’s extraordinary ability to teach through powerful and engaging storytelling has never been so effectively uti- lized as it has been with The Attractor Factor. This book should be required reading for every human being on the planet, as there is no greater lesson we can learn than that of our infinite ability to attract abundance through living our purpose and passions. Outstanding!” —Bob Doyle, Creator, www.WealthBeyondReason.com Program “I love all of Joe’s books and when I read The Attractor Factor I knew, without doubt, he had another winner. Here is the book everyone has been waiting for . that explains in simple terms the why’s and how-to’s of attracting the things you want into your life. In his inimitable style, Joe delivers the goods here without hype. It’s simply a brilliant, must-read book that an- swers all the questions and will turn your life around.” —Terri Levine, MCC, PCC, Author, and CEO of www.CoachingInstruction.com “I love Joe Vitale’s work! The Attractor Factor delivers the se- crets of success from someone who’s lived through failure and come back triumphant. It’s profound truth in a fun, easy read. Use it, and change your life forever!” —Jillian Coleman, President, www.GrantMeRich.com ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page iii THE ATTRACTOR FACTOR ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page iv ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page v THE ATTRACTOR FACTOR 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) from the Inside Out DR.

A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit. It makes as little difference to Spirit what we demand. —Frances Larimer Warner, Our Invisible Supply: Part One, 1907 ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page x ffirs.qxd 1/19/05 4:44 PM Page xi Acknowledgments am grateful to my friends Jerry and Esther Hicks for Itheir insights into the process of creating whatever you want.
