The Great Idea Factory

Where do the great ideas come from?

But first, what’s a great idea?

Great inventions like the lightbulb or the Internet?   A great book idea like “The Chicken Soup For The Soul” series?  An idea adapting computer software differently, like with Macs?

Sure, all are now well proven and great ideas.

But what about YOUR great ideas?

How about that idea that adds an extra few hundred dollars a month in your pocket?

Or, what about a feeling you get to do something completely different and it works out even better than you thought it would?

You get a feeling, and intuitive hunch, to go someplace. And you think, “Why do I want to do that.” But, you know how to identify that special feeling and more importantly, when to trust it. Or do you?

You go there and meet the love of your life or something wonderful happens to you that was completely unexpected.

It can happen.

The Reluctant Intuitive

Did you see the movie "Moonstruck," where Cher's character slaps her husband, played by Nicholas Cage, and yells "Snap out of it!"

That just happened to me, but metaphorically. Oh, and not by Cher.

You may already know my two friends and associates, Judith and Jim, as they are now known across the Internet.

They are long time highly respected psychologists and best selling authors. We call ourselves, "Two Shrinks And A Marketing Guy."

After several long dinners, hearing my stories, they've "slapped" me with a challenge.

Frankly, this scares the heck out of me.

Years ago I did what is now known as Intuitive Coaching. I fell into it. A friend or someone close to me would be in a discussion, ask for advice or just my thoughts and it was like a switch turned me on.

I began working with actors, producers and many others who were stuck in some way or another. I was completely fascinated with them and this process.

I had no frame of reference for doing this, but it wasn't something to learn, it was to do. So, it flowed out.

My regular life went on while this shadow life of "coaching," which is not what we called it, went on.

I'd be called to a movie or TV set to work with someone in crisis. Or be introduced to someone living in a Bel Air mansion who wanted my services.

I was so young, in my early 20's, and I had no idea where this stuff was coming from. It scared me. I even told people not to tell anyone. I was fearful of ridicule. But I learned to trust it.

Yet the famous and the rich were paying me to deal with their challenges? I could hardly get out of my own way. But it was working.

Besides, I was trying to make my way in show biz. I was conflicted and frankly, at the time, had no one to turn to for advice.

Even when I managed the LA Playboy Club, people would come to me, we'd sit in a back booth during a show and work on a problem or whatever was needed at the time.

While I didn't want notoriety about my personal work, I was fascinated by it. I later produced and hosted some TV shows on powers of the mind and the unknown gifts that people have, and not some people either. All of us. We are ALL intuitive.

I was invited to teach a course at UCLA's Experimental College on the subject, especially on intuition and how to develop and use it.

I did a lot of research at the Society For Psychical Research in Beverly Hills, an interest group headed up mostly by scientists and psychologists who were eager to discover more about human potential.

I subsequently became the president of that group. I still hid my own abilities. I did not openly work with others on a one-to-one level, but they kept coming.

I was speaking on the topic to large and small groups, being interviewed by the media, always talking about others.

I was on Regis Philbin's show, not the current one, and he knew about my intuitive work. I asked that this not be mentioned. He did it anyway. I explained that this is not psychic, in the sense of readings, etc., though it sometimes seemed that way.

It freaked me out, being on that show, feeling so exposed.

Frankly, I couldn't handle it. I was young, unwilling to listen to my own inner voice and I didn't want to be known for that. What if someone ridiculed me?

I was besieged. I did not want to be a guru, I did not want to be labeled a psychic, nor could I handle, at that age, the energy vampires, people who could not get enough.

Judith and Jim have very lovingly urged, okay, pushed me to be more open with my true inner work again.

As I moved into marketing, entrepreneurship, consulting and coaching, all of those abilities still came into play. Since they were unexpected, clients couldn't quite understand it sometimes. So, I shut down more and more.

I wrote a piece for my blog last weekend titled, "You Deserve Financial Distress (?)" It came from an intuitive place to do that.

I've tried to tiptoe back into this intuitive world a couple of times, but quickly retreated.

Even though I've written a book and given hundreds of talks about overcoming rejection and fear I've been fearful of rejection and ridicule on this topic for a long time.

I'm still a marketing guy. I'm still a man whose clients have included Fortune 500 companies to start-ups and coaching entrepreneurs. But now, out of "the closet," with the intuitive part of this, here I go again.

I've already had a few people asking me about this and wanting to book sessions. 1 session can be difficult, so I suggest at least two within 2 weeks.

I'm having a special invitational call tomorrow night, Thursday, August 21st, at 6 PM Pacific. I'll explain more about this specific work, how it can be accomplished with you regardless of what you want to concentrate on.

I'll tell you more about what it is and what it isn't. I'm going to get started with this by booking two sessions, but far less than what I usually charge. Register for the call here:

Plus, I'll be gifting each new client this week with a series of online sessions about your power and intuition that you can take anytime you like. The value is close to $400.

There are only a limited number of time slots for these next few weeks due to my other work, so that will be first come first served.

If you want to book your sessions now, you may do so here. Once you've done that, I'll be in touch with you about times, etc.

Each 2-session package is $297. Each session is between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on circumstances. Reserve your spot here:

We can cover any area of your life you want. You may even take advantage of this pricing to work on your Internet business or get straight out marketing strategy. After all, I'm still a "marketing guy."

More power to you,

Tom

You Deserve Financial Distress (?)

Please Note: This is different than my usual post. It happened because I came across a single piece of scrap paper in my file cabinet today that was written many years ago.

I was inspired to write this now, immediately after finding that piece of paper.

You will know within a few minutes if you want to continue reading. If so, you’ll discover that I want to start a conversation with those of you who resonate with this.

Here's what triggered this:

   I was looking for something in my file cabinet today and pulled out this faded scrap of paper. I instantly remembered writing this on the beach at La Jolla California, many years ago.

It was a dark period financially and emotionally too.  I needed at least $20,000 within the next month just to get caught up. Things seemed to be going wrong all around me.

I was in a rut. So I went to church on Sunday, something I hadn’t done for some time. The minister’s sermon, which I didn’t know in advance, was, “You Deserve Financial Success.”

She went on to outline all the reason’s for God’s abundance to be channeled to anyone who asked for it. She made a sensible and rational case.

Now, I’m not a very religious person within the man-made religions, but am a big time believer in God and prayer.

The latter I have treated like a forgotten relative at times. The former, an exercise that I know works but for some reason I fail to do for periods of time.

So, that Sunday I marveled at my excellent timing and maybe even prescience for showing up at this particular church in San Diego, which was over 150 miles from my home.

I had driven there on an impulse that morning because I especially liked the preacher, Terry Cole-Whittaker, and I needed some spiritual sustenance. I probably passed 500 churches on my way there. Why there?

There was a prayer box in the lobby. So I filled out my slip with a prayer that described my need for $20,000 within four weeks.

After church I drove to LaJolla, where I sat down on one of the most beautiful beaches and views in the world, and worried.

Some Great News - Coming Events

A lot of information is cheap. Want to know what the weather is, look out the window or check online.

Want some cheap medical advice? Google for the symptoms. Thousands of articles, how-tos, pills, potions, juices, ointments, practitioners, all there to solve or sell, or both.

Of course, now you’re playing with your own well-being. Who do you trust? Cheap information abounds today.

There are some things that you deserve to know about that can greatly enhance your personal, financial and physical well being.

I have some really neat things to share with you soon. Here’s just a preview:

Do you have a commercial presence online? That is, do you have a website or blog that promotes your business or is there to offer products or services?

If so, unless someone else who’s extremely knowledgeable runs it, you need information. First, the basics, then a graduated level of knowledge to sustain and improve.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard  was to model the behavior of others who’ve already achieved what you want in life.

I’ve learned who most of the real gurus of the Internet are today. They are a small percentage of those who pose as gurus. I’ve learned from them all and continue to.

That’s why I’m really excited about what I’m about to announce.

I have the license to distribute a group of products from two of the most successful people I know online. Both of these people have consistently over delivered powerful and highly valuable information.

They made their money online selling real products to real people, not get rich quick schemes. Then, they began sharing their information to other Internet markets and those who want to be.

I was able to put together a “Guru Library” of solid impactful information that is balanced to help those recently online to the more professional and experienced.

This is a digital boatload of proven business enhancing information that every online entrepreneur or businessperson must know.

While it’s literally thousands of dollars at retail, I’ve got to price it so that it can be easily afforded by anyone serious about progressing in their online business.

Some of this material I wish I’d known last month! It’s all designed to make a positive difference and to be available for your instant research whenever you need answers.

I’ll be announcing this collection within the next day or so. I’m calling it the Internet Guru Library. So keep your eyes open. You do not want to miss this.

I am also very excited about two new affiliations I’ve just made. Neither one accepts affiliates without a thorough review.

One of these is really “out there” in ways that will amaze you when I tell you about it. Absolutely incredible and completely unique. That’s all I can say for now; except . . .

Their product is being used by literally hundreds of professional athletes, major international celebrities, and is endorsed by everyone from well known scientists to pain sufferers.

I first found it because a friend of mine who suffers chronic pain found that it evened out the pain, gave her more energy and now, after having it for a few months, she’s seeing even more relief.

Okay, stop me before I completely spill the beans. I will be sharing this with you shortly. It’s not a potion or pill either, no repeat buys will every be required.

Another relationship that I’m thrilled about is one with Dr. Al Sears, MD. I’ve followed his advice and research for years. His information and his products are second to none.

You can get on his newsletter list and see what he does right here:
Dr. Al Sears, MD .

These are just a few examples of how our well being can be positively impacted in all areas of life.

There is so much more to experience! Stay tuned!
