Joe meets Julius LaRosa - If you are under 60 years old, you're probaly saying who???

So this morning, I got to the radio station early, to get set up for my show JoeLive. The guest on the show just before my show was Julius LaRosa, a popular singer from the 1950's. My parents knew who he is.

see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oo6Agx_jK4

He was a popular regular on the Arthur Godfrey show and was made famous for getting fired on the air from the Bandstand show by Arthur Godfrey. However, that firing cause Godfrey to lose his public appeal. Julius has had a long and successful career as singer and actor, in addition to contributing to charities like the Jerry Lewis Telethon and Muscular Dystrophy. However, I am sure (in my opinion) in hindsight, he may have done things differently back then, knowing what he knows today... Here is an interesting review of Julius' life and career.

It is interesting to read about these early pioneers of the Radio and TV industries. They were ahead of a huge trend...those that figured out how to capitalize on it "early on" became wealthy...not just rich...they made the kind of money that means their ancestors for many generations, will never want for anything.

A full week of networking and meeting some great people at the Soundview Club in Stamford...

connecting with Nick at the CT Cigar Company - I highly recommend their hand rolled cigars... Max their roller is a master! www.ctcigarco.com

Having cocktails at the Lamborghini Dealership, with Diddel Financial www.diddel.com, who just launched a brilliant investment strategy with Atlas Capital Management. Drinking wine while leaning against a $450,000 car is kinda surreal...

Capping it off with getting VIP tickets to see Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and then meeting Johnny back stage after the show...having followed his career and enjoying his music since the mid 70's, the guy still rocks and puts on a tremendous show!

This is Leigha and I with Johnny...

Yeah, another week of being Joe G... it's dirty work, but someone has to do it...

Life is Hard? ... It's more about how hard can you get hit, get up and keep moving forward...

Liang Chow...what made that happen???

I just got back from Cape Cod, what a great place to unwind and unplug… the only thing I stayed connected to was the summer Olympics in Beijing.

During the Gold Medal Beam performance by Shawn Johnson, one of the back stories that impacted me was the story about Shawn Johnson’s coach Liang Chow.

Liang Chow grew up in Beijing. He was a member of the Chinese bronze medal-winning team at the 1989 World Championships. Chow's skill and talents made him well known and relatively wealthy in China. But two years later, the 23-year-old Chow accepted a scholarship to the University of Iowa, where he would study English and help coach the gymnastics teams.

Chow had dreams of opening a school to teach gymnastics skills to young children. His school ended up in West Des Moines, Iowa Just a few blocks away lived six-year-old Shawn Johnson. Shortly after he opened his business… Shawn Johnson enrolled in a class… with a goal to someday become an Olympian.

Chow’s having an underlying goal, to some day return to China as a successful American entrepreneur, saw the 2008 Olympics as his time to shine.

The reason this story is so powerful, both of these people, from two different parts of the world and in different stages in life…found each other to achieve their individual goals.

What makes this happen???… they both had very clear intentions, goals and aspiration… in alignment…and the universe brought them together to achieve them. How or why it happened, is a mystery…but the fact that it happened, is a result of the Universe putting them into position to get what they wanted and they allowed it to happen with dedication, hard work and a clear vision and expectation of what is to come.

We are all capable of bringing what we want into existence. By setting out intentions, having a clear idea of our desires and allowing them to come to us (even if we have to wait 10 years like Liang Chow)… the Universe will bring you whatever you want… !!!

Think about this…you are receiving these e-mails because you may have been looking for something…and you never acted on it… or you have no idea why you are getting this…maybe it’s the universe sending it to you, by design… don’t ignore your opportunity…now might be the time to act.

With the summer coming to an end, this industry is about to explode (as it does every year in the fall)… we have generate over $14,000,000 for our affiliates - that is bound to double over the next year. Extra income seekers are looking and you can be the benefactor of that flood of activity, make sure you take the action to make your dreams and goals come to you.

O.k. I am hooked...

I gotta admit it... I am a late night Olympics junkie... I am totally amazed at that these kids are doing... Like everyone else on the planet... but here's the thing... I wasn't this way years ago... what changed... them or me...? (I think we know the answer to that).

When I was in my 20s, the Olympics was something to do while drinking beer with friends in a crowded bar (don't get me wrong, it still is that today) and I understand the attraction. In my 30s it was something you hoped to watch, but the little kids in your life would have a need and pull you away. Now in my 40s, along with those kids (who are now grown teenagers) we watch from the comfort of our home on the 73" high def TV, prone on a leather couch in my media room....So I guess that is one change... but the real change is more about understanding...

Having almost 5 decades of life experience, I now watch the Olympics with an understanding of what these "kids", these incredible athletes, have to do to get to where they are today.

Think about this... in a world of Ipods, video games, computers, school work, kid politics, MTV, my big fat sweet 16 party and the all the tabloid trash....these "kids" have the mental focus and strength to gather their clarity to compete on the world stage in front of 80 million people! Honestly, I don't know if I could do it... but then... maybe??? nah, no way!

My 19 year old daughter, while we were watching Nastia Liukin on the uneven bars, said, how can she remember all of those moves...and we discussed how they have been doing these routines every day, for years, 1000s of times...with one focus in mind...to be exactly where she is...the goal was set the day she was born (her father was a Russian gold medalist 20 years ago). We discussed and compared it to things my daughter knows and does well...and how she learned them step by step and from repetition... she is good at a lot of things... however, she is a world class text messenger...she won't win a gold metal or get nationally acclaimed, but she is fast... :)

The reason all of this is resonating with me, I guess it's because I have change. My view of what these kids can do astounds me on an inspirational level...not only because I am more in tune with what it takes to do it, but maybe I am more in tune with receiving it and what it means to the world. Seeing a 16 year old girl go into her zone and focus on her goal, and to come away with perfection...was inspiring...to this 48 year old couch and computer jockey... It made me realize (again) that we are all capable of some amazing things...if we have a huge goal, take it "step by step", do it over and over again and focus on it until with get it prefect...the idea that failure is not an option drives and Olympian and business person alike.

People love to argue, well it's their genetics (Micheal Phelps), their upbringing (Natia Liukin), their this or their that... I say...it's their mindset, which is something that each of us can totally control in our lives. They decided to achieve what they have, first in their mind...the rest was all part of the process, they decided to be the best... some might say...what about someone with no legs, they can't win a 100 meter sprint...but that isn't even true any longer...Someday, we will see a physically challenged person compete with naturally capable people in our lifetimes... what will you decide to overcome in your life???

Ask yourself this question... if you knew you could, what would you do? What great things would you set out to accomplish...what income level would you achieve, what impact would you have on mankind. Unfortunately, as adults, we allow the self limiting beliefs imposed on us in our youth sneak in a block us from what we want. Once we release them, anything we want can be achieved.

I guess in some respects the Olympic athlete has to be young, so their bodies can take the punching level of exercise to get into shape and their minds are full of confidence devoid of doubt. If only we, as adults, could get our minds back to that youthful place where anything is possible...because it is...go for your dream, don't be held back and allow what you want to fulfill your life.

Onward & Upward...

American Gymnasts have the right attitude!!!

Last night the American Men's Gymnastics team said something that was really profound... Never Give Up!!!

After losing 2 of their star performers to injuries, and being forced to bring in alternates, they were not touted as a contender in Beijing... however with the leadership of a kid from Texas named Jonathan Horton, they committed to making sure the world knew what they were made of...and they did...

After 2 rotations (of the 6 events) they were leading the pack, including beating the highly favored Chinese Team. Jonathan Horton was quoted as saying... "I changed my focus from what I couldn't do to what I could do"...and his results dramatically changed...

Well, last night the Chinese did win the gold, and the American's won the bronze...but from the looks of the celebrations...you would have thought they won the gold... this unlikely team, with 2/3 of the final event staffed with replacement performers, did the seemingly impossible... medaled in 2008.

Why am I sharing this with you... because you may be interested in more information about how to generate an additional income or make some kind of a change in your life...but...for some reason you did not moved forward...maybe its money, or fear or lack of belief...whatever it is, I would encourage you to take the words of Men's American Gymnastics team and "Never Give Up"... never give up on your dream to have the income, lifestyle and financial freedom you desire...

also, take the words of Jonathan Horton, change your focus...from what you can't do to what you can do... This is the key to success, in anything. If you decide you will succeed YOU WILL!!! The reverse funnel system has generated over $14 million for people just like you... all you need to is believe you can succeed, and you will join those who are.

There are lots of Olympic events left in these summer games... along with them, there are going to be more examples of heroic accomplishments. That being said, there is going to be another $14 million of commissions generated in the next few months...and a lot more people cashing those checks... I hope you are one of them...

Here is the link to the Reverse Funnel System to find out how you can make a substantial income and have the financial freedom to enjoy it...
