The headline of a forum post stopped me in my tracks:
"Stephen Pierce just did $1,079,595.00 in 2 hours..."
My first thought was, "It couldn't have happened to a nicer person!"
Excited to learn the details, I clicked on the link to his blog:
http://www.stephenlive.com/blog/
And there, I watched an amazing, inspiring video of Stephen's interview with one of his clients named Kim, who went from almost being broke to making upto $50,000 a month - following her passion.
One thing Stephen said stuck in my mind:
Desire is when you want something. Passion is when you refuse to live without it!
Think about it. Then live with passion. And be thankful for everything you already have.
This is what Stephen Pierce said about working with Kim:
We're blessed to be able to be a part of it
No wonder he's a success!
I was privileged to meet him in person and spend some time in Detroit at his 'Unleash Your Marketing Genius' event earlier this year.

By the way, I thought it worth sharing a post I made on a private forum, during the 26-week mentorship program I did with Stephen, Rich Shefren and Jay Abraham.
It was on 25th September, 2004...
Now I KNOW - Stephen Pierce Taught Me!I've had the "Moolah Map" DVD for some time. Was watching it tonight. And was amazed at the performance of a Master. His name... Mr.Stephen Pierce
In moments of doubt, I've wondered what madness could have made me fork over $5,000 to attend this protege program.
True, Jay Abraham was a guy with a big reputation, and the little I had viewed of his material was top class. But I had never even heard the name 'Rich Schefren' before this - actually, at first, I had thought it was someone else!
And while Stephen had taught some outstanding lessons in his "The Whole Truth", I hadn't bought much more from him.
Now I Know...
It is the instinctive liking I must have developed at a sub-liminal level for Stephen Pierce as an individual - for being an honest, ethical, generous and helpful person.
That must have been what worked on my mind, convinced me to invest the single biggest chunk of change, in my 8 years of working online, into this program.
Now I Know...
... that it was the right thing to do.
Hearing and watching Stephen's performance on stage was amazing. I had planned to run it in the background while working on my research - and ended up turning around, spending one full hour watching the first DVD.
Several statements in Stephen's speech at the "Big Seminar" go straight to my heart, resonate deeply in my mind, and are now written in big, bold letters on the board in front of me.
I'll share them with you - as life-changing, paradigm-defining, direction-setting messages which will guide my work, online and off, from this day forward. Here's what Stephen said...
* Make The World You Come Into Contact With, A Better Place
* Learn To Celebrate The Success Of Other People
* Bridge The Gap Between Knowing What To Do, & Doing What You Learned
* You Make A Living By What You Get, But You Make A LIFE By What You Give
* Don't Look On Giving As A Duty, Look On It As A Privilege
Each will be worth over $1000 to me - which means this alone has repaid my investment in the program in full.Thank you, Stephen Pierce, for sending me your "Moolah Map" DVD... and impacting my life.
Incidentally, Stephen replied with this note:
"Hey Dr. Mani,I would feel horrible if I didn't immediately reply to your incredible, moving and touching post. In fact, no one has ever expressed so deeply
the impact of what we do as you have.Your words leave me speechless but overflowing with an abundance
of joy and it confirms in my heart that doing this is worth it.Thank you Dr. Mani.
A right 'mutual admiration' society, eh? :)
Every day, several remarkable things cross my desk, my mind and my computer screen.
I love sharing them with you. When I send them by email, filters keep many of them out of your inbox.
That's why you have...
dr.mani says...
Remarkable is in the eye of the beholder. If the target market
wants to hear about it and wants to talk about it,
then it's remarkable. Then it's a
Purple Cow.
