Spider-Man & The Wealthy Soul

   

"I hate the comfort zone."

That's what Broadway producer Julie Taymor said on 60 Minutes.

"I don't think anything that's really creative can be done without DANGER and RISK," she stated.

Producer Julie Taymor was speaking about her latest Broadway production, "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark."

That 60 Minutes interview is incredibly inspiring to see (video above).

Spider-Man is the most spectacular -

and the most expensive -

Broadway show ever produced.

$60 million.

That's what it cost.

And it's a year late!

Production was halted in 2009 when the show ran out of money.

But they finally found additional backers.

Now it's bringing in $1 million per week.

And it's only in preview stage!

Though I don't know Julie Taymor personally,

and though I didn't have anything to do with Spider-Man,

(officially launching this coming February)

her story and her words about "the comfort zone" and about "danger and risk" sum up the last two years of my life . . .

and the reason I disappeared for 15 months.

 

======================
"Danger & Risk"
======================

During those 15 months, I put everything on the line.

And I do mean EVERYTHING.

My whole life savings.

My home.

And nearly all of my relationships.


     (A number of my friends think I've
     gone off the deep end. Some have
     even stopped speaking to me.)


In the last newsletter, I described how 6 years ago I began developing a new "Super Productivity" online tool I am close to now releasing for you.

At that time, I began developing this revolutionary tool purely for my own use -

to stop the paralyzing overwhelm I was experiencing from email, paperwork and task overload.

The tool was so effective freeing up my time, I went from spending 3 hours a day to just minutes a day handling my emails and tasks, and managing the communications from the many people helping me publicize the Wealthy Soul book series.

As a result, the books became international bestsellers 4 years in a row.

This was due to our finely coordinated laser-focused teamwork.

AND PLEASE NOTE:

this success all occurred while I was a full-time care-giver to my mother with Alzheimer's.

The most important part of this story begins on --


======================
New Year's 2009
======================

That was the day I woke up with what I call:

"The Revelation."

This revelation would change the course of my life.

And what happened as a result of that revelation has already helped more than 300 other creative people and entrepreneurs (the hand picked beta-users of this Super Productivity tool) bring their worthy projects to life.

You'll see their transformative experiences documented in upcoming videos I'll share with you this coming year.


======================
The Revelation
======================

I woke up that 2009 New Year's morning realizing I may have been doing you and all the other 127,000 Wealthy Soul Newsletter subscribers a disservice for many years.

I had spent years sharing with you true life stories that had inspired me to follow my own highest life purpose. I hoped the newsletters would inspire you to do the same.

These stories were all about overcoming great challenges, staying focused, and taking things one small step at a time to accomplish your greatest goals and highest life purpose.

The postings of those stories on the Wealthy Soul Blog received more comments than most other stories and articles on the internet.


       (Even more than Oprah often
       receives for her shows)


HOWEVER -

Despite that success,

I realized I never had shared with you the actual tool that had made it possible for me to accomplish my own goals -

the simple-to-use website tool I had created that enabled me to make the Wealthy Soul books into bestsellers.

The revelation I thus had was a simple one:

Why not make this tool available to you when you likely may be suffering from all the same problems the tool eliminated for me --


    * Being overwhelmed with email, tasks
      and paperwork

    * Having nonstop mind chatter and
      stress from being unable to keep up

    * Feeling helpless in ever being able
      to fully accomplish your goals.


======================
My Big Miscalculation
======================

With that revelation -

how much this simple tool could potentially change your life as it had so profoundly changed mine -

I decided to take the plunge.

I would do what was necessary to make it available for you.

Because I was already using the tool in a very nuts and bolts form, I figured it would take 1 or 2 months and cost about $5,000 to $10,000 to program in an even more fun and easy-to-use interface.

I figured 1 to 2 months would be enough time to also program in the many new features I had thought of during the 4 years I had used it for myself and with the people working with me -

new features that make this tool like no other that exists in the world.

So 1 to 2 months and $5k to $10k.

And that was my big miscalculation.

The biggest one of my life, in fact.

It has taken 2 full years.

It has cost more than $300,000.

And it has required the efforts of more than 15 people from 4 countries.

Four of them (including me) have worked full time on this project.

And I've put my whole life savings into the program.

I've additionally received funds from 21 separate financial supporters throughout the U.S., Europe and South America.


======================
That's why I disappeared!
======================

It has been a 12 hour a day, 7 day a week effort for 2 years.

BUT -

Finally -

The tool is ready to share with you.

But there's just one little tiny step I need to take before releasing it publicly.

I'll share what that step is in the next newsletter.


    (You'll be involved in helping me
     take it!)


Then, throughout all of 2011, everything you, me and the entire Wealthy Soul family does together will be done using this game-changing tool as a backdrop for taking well planned and precision-guided steps to accomplish each of our goals and dreams.

That much said --


======================
It will require some effort . . .
======================

Everything worth accomplishing does.

But we're going to have a BLAST.

That's what it's like when you wake up every day . . .

And you have a well-defined purpose . . .

And a well-defined plan.

And you know exactly what your next step is.

And you feel laser-focused.

And you have a game-changer of a tool to make your plans for your day, week and your life's purpose simple to accomplish . . .

It's an absolute BLAST!


======================
Just ask Julie Taymor
======================

The lady who is Spider-Man's producer.

The most spectacular and most expensive Broadway show ever produced.

About to officially open.

Imagine yourself in her shoes.

Overcoming all obstacles.

Accomplishing your own great creative goals.

Indeed, 2011 can be a turning point for you.

That's all I'll say for now.

Just put all fears, doubts and troubles from 2010
behind you.

2011 is here in a few days.

A new year is dawning.

Prepare yourself by watching the video at the top of this post.

It's a wonderful 60 Minutes interview of Julie Taymor and her celebrity partners Bono and The Edge, who wrote the music for "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark."

Their story producing Spider-Man is incredibly inspiring.

Though I didn't have a couple of rock stars helping me produce my system for you, there are a number of well-known creative people, entrepreneurs and companies passionately using the beta-version for more than a year now.

Soon you will be able to use it too.

Meanwhile watch the wonderfully inspiring video at the top of this post and prepare yourself for lift-off in 2011!
