I just got back from a seminar where I was inspired to create this video… which, by the way, has nothing to do with Internet Marketing. If you’ve ever been scared… If you’ve ever been afraid to chase your dream… If you’ve ever sat in front of your computer and wondered if you’d ever put it all together… I made this video for you Jim PS - If you like it, please send the link to a couple of friends and have them watch it too!

Nick The Geek :
Nice work, Jim!
I really enjoyed that … I found myself tapping my toes to the music even though it’s not the style of music I normally listen to … :o)
I don’t know about anyone else, but there was one line that really jumped out at me …
“Your focus is your reality!”
WOW! I’ve put that on my computer monitor …
I’m gonna play that video every Monday just to make sure I start my working week on the right track …
Kudos, my friend!
Nick :o)
Rob Taylor :
Jim,
A cracking little video. Really good. I hope it goes viral for you
Best

Ed Hudson :
Jim,
I knew when we departed company on Saturday that you were inspired from the weekend…. but I didn’t know you were THAT inspired.
Cool video dude!
Post it to a web page so it can spread like “The Interview…”

Sanna Väätänen :
The video was a surprise to me. It reminds us about probably the most important thing in the world. So many people don’t have the courage to believe that they can or have the right to live a life they want. Our minds are filled with disbelief and we stick with our safe lives that we actually don’t like that much, because we don’t think we could have anything better. Fear paralyzes us, trust moves us to our dream. I’ve personally noticed several times how just believing in my dream has made it happen! It’s so wonderful to see how the dream manifests itself in ways that I couldn’t have found out myself.
Adrian Bold :
Great video Jim and thanks for sharing. Sometimes things like this can be quite personal to the creator so I appreciate you making it available.

Hi Jim,’
Excellent video, and 100% spot on..
I was struggling online just managing to make a few dollars, nothing really to change my life and get all the things I wanted out of life.
Then one morning I just said to myself ” you can make a difference if you committ and change what you are doing” I started to beleive in myself and from that day forward, I started a new service online and committed to the developement of that service.
Business just started to explode, not only have I been rewarded financialy, but personally I have a feeling of self improvement and acheivement..
To your readers who are stuggling, I suggest..
Watch this video and take action, if you are not sure how..Just ask Jim, I believe he will have the answers for you.
Regards.

Jim,
This is precisely what I needed this morning, and I’m sure, for mornings to come! I recorded your mp3 on cd and listen to it all the time about how thoughts shape our reality. Seeing this video crystallized everything for me. Thank you for your time and generosity in sharing and helping others. With Blessings…

Jo Ann Carey :
This is awesome! Beautiful video. Great condensation of what you share with us in your “5 Steps to Getting Anything You Want!” Course. I already have it, and I recommend it to everyone who wants to be in harmony with the universe, to move forward with focus. I’m going to review the course today to refresh my mind and redirect it to the positive possibilities that are waiting for me.
Caleb :
Jim!
Killer Video Man!
I really like the information that was contained in it. Great Stuff.
I guess you were really inspired at the ole underground seminar…Darn my not going!
Caleb
Reg :
Thanks for this very timely and well done reminder ….and challenge!
Jeanette Cates :
Jim - Thank you for once again taking action. Your own actions and your life are the real inspiration here. The video is beautiful and well done, but it’s only a reflection of who you are. Thank you for being you - and for sharing with all of us.

Bob and I are just home from a week in Washington, DC. Three days of sightseeing (including watching Geoge W’s helicopter land on the White House lawn) and then Yanik Silver’s outstanding Underground Seminar. I’m going to post a few
Eric Graham :
Jim,
Outstanding video. Things like this are what make you such a great marketer (and person.)
You truly care about the success of others. You have a sincere desire to inspire others to achieve their own version of success.
Not just as a way to make yourself more money, but out of a real desire to improve the lives of others… Even total strangers that you have never met.
I for one have been inspired by you, long before you made this video.
Before finding your products several years ago, I had already achieved a fair degree of success in business.
However, your products and consistent flow of high quality information played a major part in helping me to take that success to levels I wouldn’t have dreamed possible.
“Just Because” of your help and inspiration over the years…
Now – I no longer wake up to an “electronic rooster”… “Just Because.”
Now – My family can go on vacation for 3 or 4 weeks each summer and my income keeps right on growing. “Just Because.”
Now – My older kids come home from school to a Dad with the time and energy to play with them as long as they want. “Just Because.”
Now - I earn more money in one month, working 20 to 30 hours a week from home, then I used to make in a year, slaving away 80 to 100 hours a week in my other businesses. “Just Because.”
Now – My youngest daughter has never known a Dad who works outside of the home. “Just Because.”
Now – I’ve had the chance to be right there when my youngest daughter said her first word and took her first steps. I missed all of that with my older two kids because I was so busy living at my other businesses that I wasn’t living my life. Now, I’m living my life… On my terms… “Just Because.”
Thanks Jim. Thanks a million (at least…)
Eric Graham
P.S. – Test adding a “Refer-a-Friend” type device to the page with your video. It will accelerate the pass along rate. Giving your visitors the chance to forward the video to others while they are at the height of emotional involvement will greatly enhance the viral component of your message.
Dale Maxwell :
This is the stuff super bowl commercials should deliver.
Thanks

Bill Taylor :
Very inspiring Jim. Put together in a terrific way that was most enjoyable. Helps one to not only understand the importance of focus, but also of being in the moment.
Best wishes

lahsen :
Jim…
Thanks for sharing an awsome movie with us.
It’s going to keep reminding me that life is not a dress rehearsal, success is a journey and you don’t have to get it right, just get it going.
Thanks.
Lahsen….
moniekk :
Great video! I wish I could save it to view it over and over again!
Big kudo’s!
William :
Some much-needed inspiration! Thanks Jim!
Laurie :
This truth will set you free. Well done, Jim.
Mark C :
Good onya Jim,
Your ‘just because’ presentation confirms we are the products of our doing.
Thanks to the support of people like you today I’m doing my best to be everything that I wasn’t yesterday. I’ll be taking more steps in the right direction tomorrow and everyday thereafter.
Love your work!
Mark
Chris :
Gidday Jim.
Love your work.
Just one request:
You know the popup on your site, offering the call transcript?
I’ve seen it several times, each time I visit your site. I know what it says.
And each time, it’s annoying that we have to page down to the bottom of the popup to click on “close this window”.
Any chance of putting an “x” in the standard top right corner, so we don’t have to see it again.
It has to score high on the annoying factor for hundreds.
Pretty please.
Theresa :
Excellent video.
I have your “5 Steps” and have already been inspired to pick up and dust off my dream of retiring to a place in space. Since it hasn’t been built yet, I have to help make it happen. With your help (through “33Days to Online Profits” and “The Mini-Site Creators Course”) I’m well on the way to setting up my “View From The Top” ezine and (eventually) the “Save Your Seat To Orbit” Project (a members only site).
I have referred to your “5 Steps” in my Bonus Special Report “How to Get and Stay Motivated to Save For Your Seat To Orbit” and would like to know if or when you will be offering the “5 Steps” program to affiliates (I’d recommend it even if you don’t; I think it’s that good).
By the way, I think you’re the best teacher I could’ve asked for when it comes to the mechanics of setting up a mini-site. That comes from someone who grew up in a family of teachers and even married one. I am impressed!
Time to get back to work on the Mini-Site Creators course.

Maurice :
We have a choice in life, take the road to the left- getting or to the right - giving.
The right road is correct as it is by giving that we get.
And when we get by giving life has true meaning, which after all is what we are all looking for.
Your video was about giving - your on the right road Jim.
kenneth svensson :
we all have a choice, we can be responsible for things that happens in our lifes, both tha bad things and the good things. we cant choose everything that happens but we can we can choose to take action or just sit back and wait and hope and accept.
if you are not satisfied with your life now - take action and be responsible for your own life and happyness.
Tony :
Thank You Jim,
Whether you realize it or not, this type of message coming through you and your work is MUCH BIGGER than “just making a lot of money online”. I have been inspired for many years by those LIKE YOU that teach freedom of the mind and spirit and in your case you consistantly share what you have learned with others and help them to “choose” a better life for themselves…Continued success to you and yours!
Graham Giblin :
Wow! Condenses all those books like “Think & Get Rich” into 4 minutes!
I love how you always surprise us.
Graham
Palyn Peterson :
Hey Jim,
It was like watching a good chick flick. I especially liked the part where Rosie O’Donell played the handicapped sister, and….
In all seriousness, this was a great moment for all of us who care about being the captain of our own “ship.” It will most definately help those who haven’t decided on success get off the fence — and for those of us that have, we need a boost too.
As far as the internet marketing niche goes, too many people don’t commit to action. READ, DO, TEST, TWEAK, lather, rinse, repeat.
Thank you for your eloquence. If we were neighbors I’d ask to borrow some.
Take care, and talk to you later,
Palyn Peterson

ITS SO TRUE!!!!!!!
Robert :
Fantastic!
That’s truly the best e-zine, newsletter… content I ever got.
Outstanding, inspirational work Jim
Laurie Kristensen :
Wow, I’m blown away. I love the pictures, the message, the music, and the pace of the movie! Truly awesome! I’m an affiliate of yours, is there a way to distribute the link to this movie and still be tied into the affiliate program? Congratulations!
Success, Wealth, Happiness, Health!

This is something we all need now and again.
I have pased it to some friends.
Thanks Jim
Scott H :
Jim:
The video is excellent - great music for the right feel, which made me feel good as well.
On another note, I really enjoy your blog and am an avid net surfer. But even I still jump a little at that “garage door fly-in ad” with you and Jeanette every time I land there.
Maybe tone it down a bit eh?
Thanks,
Scott-
Troy Laughren :
Fricken Awesome Jim!
May the force be with you…

Paul Kaliher :
Jim,
Could you tell us step-by-step how to create such an awsome video so we can do the same for our prospects/customers? What tools/programs to use, how large to make the photos, etc.
Thanks. I would greatly appreciate it, and I’m sure others would also.
Paul Kaliher
Olga Farber Becker :
Hi Jim,
I guess that’s this side of you that not many people would think it’s there. I mean, someone known of his ‘Friday smackdown’ is not easily expected to be a loving, understanding, perceptive person.
But if someone thought your smackdown was your only face, your main face, they couldn’t be more wrong. They don’t know how you care to say “you’re doing great” or “I’m so proud of you” when things seem to be scaring, stressful. You’re such a wonderful person, Jim.
About the video, you know, after hearing what Morgan said, and seeing “The Interview..” it may feel a little like just a marketing game, going viral etc. (I’d probably make the arrow at the end not so bold, may be more “how to” kind of link), but the message is so powerful, that it influences even through this resistance.
Great video, Jim.
Olga.
Andrew :
Here’s a post that may get censored, but in fairness to opinion, please hear me out.
Maybe that fact that I can’t hear the music makes a difference, but I found this video a bit repetitive and trite. I appreciate the sentiment, even though I’ve seen a variation on this many times.
As well intentioned as this is, you don’t need someone to come along and tell you that you are worth something in a video - believe that you, within yourself, are of great value and have great strength, and use the time spent looking for affirmation to help others feel better about their lives instead. Spread joy and happiness by being friendly and supportive of those around you, and do your best to brighten their day.
Your personal involvement in another person’s life will be worth far more to them than 3 minutes of cliched advice, however well intentioned.
How about this - the next person you see, wherever you are, give a friendly smile. That’s all. Just show someone you care about them, as a person, in a personal, sincere way.
Jim Clary :
Jim,
That is an awesome video. Really makes you think and dream of better things.
Thank You,
Jim Clary
Sanford Jr :
An analysis:
Very nice! (and inspiring)
Digging a bit deeper…
This is an excellent viral marketing campagin, the likes of which I have not seen since Sanford Wallace’s “passthison.com” was up and running. If you are interested in doing something like this yourself, do a google search for “taf master” and you’ll quickly find the same tell-a-friend technology being used in this example.
Olga :
Hi Jim,
I like this video, if I could, I would use it for my own downline in my business, to encourage them not to surrender, so if you decide someday to sell the rights,let me know.
Olga
M. Figgs :
Great video Jim !
Gets my vote for video short.
Go Oscar!
Tom Bice :
Jim,
You’ve done it again!! That was an awesome inspirational video that everyone should watch. I needed that today. Keep up the great work that you are doing. I will recommend it to all my friends and associates.

Mike :
Hey Jim
Great video, inspired me to make the most of things and to take action with what I have.
Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Mike
Morgan Westerman :
Wow, Jim!
Way to take action! That’s a great job in record time.
You can tell by the responses that the idea is a winner, and the approach to leading to the sales page works. A good fit. Lots of lessons to be learned from how you put this together.
I hope people catch the lesson that when you create a strong emotion, you can more effectively get your visitors to take action. Again, great job!
Keep me posted on how it goes!
ps:
Be sure and share your stats with me and I’ll be glad to use this example as a case study on one of my training calls. (I hope you’re keeping track of hits and referrals.) A great example of a viral campaign! You da man!
Morgan Westerman

Hello,Jim,

But focus is the most important discipline!!
Thank you so much for reminding so lovingly!!

Sammy :
Looks great Jim,
It looks like you got your inpspiration to create a viral campaign from Mr. Westerman at the underground seminar.
Thank for this nice reminder. You do great work.
Larry Foster :
Jim, thank you. The video grabbed me and shook me.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. The timing couldn’t have been more appropriate.
phyllis :
i was very happy what someone can teach me how to be successful.
Anita :
The inspirational video was terrific. It hit the right notes to inspire and motivate. I think that you should make this video available for download….sell it as if it were a little pocket book that people carry around for motivation. I know that I would like to have it for use on my portable devices (burned to a CD or downloaded into a portable multimedia device) so that I could look at it whenever I wanted the inspirational boost. Having it just as a streaming video means that it can disappear at any time but selling it means that it could be permanent to someone’s reference library. Hope you will consider it. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. You have a knack for motivation. You may have found a new calling!
Michael Lee :
Hi Jim.
Outstanding video! I’ve always been searching for self-improvement resources, and your video is a perfect way to remind people how strong they can become in facing life’s biggest challenges.
Keep up the great work!
William L Hughes :
Your stuff is always a welcome break in my day. Keep up the good work.
I apprciate your generosity and your injection of positive energy.
Mike Sigers :
Big Jim,
I can’t thank you enough for making this…..I hope it’s viewed 1,000,000 times, gains you 700,000 subscribers and you get blessed, blessed, blessed !
Mike
Rebecca Pye :
Jim,
Thank you so much! That was just what I needed, just when I needed it. Thanks again!

Dear Jim, you are great indeed. I’m so grateful to you for such an inspired comfort. I couldn’t stop listening and reading for an hour charmed with striking air of flying soul… May God bless
you so much more. It’s beyond of words to touch a wonderful gift from Heaven. Thanks a lot. Sevda.

Trevor :
Hey Jim,
Felt kinda depressed this morning, but after viewing your inspirational video really gave me a tremendous lift.
Steve :
Hi Jim,
Your message was encouraging, often times we can feel like giving up or feel as though we are unworthy of success and some of the hopeful reminders in the video were encouraging.
BUT - there was a continual theme of self reliance or that trusting/thinking on your desires is all that’s necessary to bring answers. But what about God? Have you allowed anything for more than just plain hope?
Who should people call on - when the problems they are experiencing seem about to crush them? It is not enough just to be positive! Sometimes money and success are NOT enough! Just look at Hollywood and see?
You also need the ability to be able to call on the Lord who made you. He is more powerful than puny human hope and answers our cries for help.
I thank the Lord that I am not just relying on me, and some feel good moments to get through life.

Thanks so much for that video. I’m still crying and happy too! I have been wanting so much to do my dreams again and feeling so sad and frustrated. I know, I’m the only one holding me back but your video motivated me and reminded me that I can do it. I’m so creative and I’m not using it and it is time to do someting about it. It is up to me!
Thanks again, it was beautiful
and very moving.

Wendy Roufosse :
Jim,
I have been very ill for the past couple of months, it was touch and go for me for awhile, and I just going through my mail when I came across your video. Your words were words of great inspiration to me. My daughter was involved with a candle company where she went and done shows in other peoples homes, she was being charged with everything from credit card fraud to altering cheques. Apparently one lady that was at one of her shows had charged $1400.00 on her credit card for “novelity” items. She obviously was having second thoughts about her purchases because her husband (military man), was going to “…?….” so she said my daughter had put these charges on her card. It turned out to be impossible because all purchases had been done directly at the stores, where you need the card. Anyway by the time she had finished spreading her rumors my daughter had 13 payment altering accusations against her. An investigation is still on going but, she has been cleared of all accusations. Sorry about the long story but, I e-mailed your video to her and she called me back and wanted me to personally thank - you for your video it had so much impact on her that she felt the weight of the world had just been lifted off her shoulders. She’s pregnant and it took away alot of the built up stress. We are both going to keep copies handy so whenever we are down we can play it. We greatly appreciate the words of wisdom and strengh and the deep emotions put into it and wanted to just say Thank-you so much. God bless you for giving such a heart warming video that applies to any and every thing in life.

I’ve been changing my ISP and have much to do changing all my contact info I used with the previous ISP, or I’ll not miss this pleasure while it was hot.
Good inspirational stuff. Enjoyed the movie.
Yes it’s a complete lifetime film.
Congratulations “Claude Lelouch”
P.S I’ve got the ebook and the mp3 early remember?
They’re great.
