Candid Thoughts From Steph Perez About ‘Inspired Marketing’…
By Craig Perrine
A friend of mine forwarded me this link to a YouTube video by Steph Perez where she enthusiastically reviews ‘Inspired Marketing’.
I have to say she really hit the nail on the head about the spirit of what Joe and I were trying to capture with the stories in our book.
Check out what she had to say…

Why ‘August Rush’ Is Just What You Need To Jumpstart Your Inspiration…
By Craig Perrine
If you missed the first episode of Pat OBryan’s PortableEmpire.tv show featuring me, Pat, and a special appearance by Joe Vitale, then go spend an hour and share in the fun at Pat’s blog
We had fun, the feedback was heartwarming and I’m grateful that so many people loved what we talked about.
I’m doing a small group ‘Inspiratin to Implementation’ intensive program starting next week, the whole purpose of which is to get entrepreneurs on track to following an inspired idea all the way to seeing it become a reality… and I want to share the first ‘assignment’ I’ve given them - watch the movie ‘August Rush’ (now out on DVD).
Here’s why…
So many folks today are coming from a place of desperation around money and making their business goals come true.
It’s a catch 22 - you may in fact be in a tough spot right now financially, maybe the walls feel like they are closing in.
Maybe you are consumed by dread that if what you are doing right now doesn’t work you might just not make it at all.
So you may be up late at night, basking in the LCD glow from your monitor, searching for the breakthrough you need to finally get where you want so badly to be.
Or maybe, you’re past that point… after one too many disappointments you’ve drifted toward the rocky shore of depression and have lost your way too far to feel like trying again.
I’ve been there… and I think most entrepreneurs have at one point or another in their journey from day job to living their dreams.
Wherever you find yourself right now, know that if you are reading this you are alive and still in the game.
Even if you are chugging along in your business or job and just wanting more… the path of Inspired Marketing is about tapping into something beyond desperation.
Be it hope, passion, a commitment to serving others, or determination to make a difference and love what you do… it’s all there waiting for you (believe it or not, right now).
All too often in our day to day lives we are encouraged to ‘numb up’ and ‘dumb down’ to get along and go along.
What I discovered completely without warning when I watched ‘August Rush’ last weekend was the single largest does of hope, inspiration, and connection that I’ve probably ever had from a movie.
It’s no surprise when you see who is in the cast… Robin Williams (Remember ‘Dead Poet’s Society’, ‘Good Will Hunting’?), Keri Russell (in what I believe was her last film), Johnathan Rhys Meyer, Terrence Howard, and the young gem, Freddie Highmore… I can’t imagine a better collection of actors to play out this story.
It seems every decade or so a movie just captures the human experience at it’s best and just hits one out of the park so far as to leave the atmosphere of earth altogether (think ‘Field of Dreams’)… and this is just such a masterpiece.
Yes, in business and marketing, knowing ‘what’ to do eventually ends up being essential - but feeling what you are doing is beyond just making the bottom line and racking up sales is indespensible to keep you going through the inevitable challenges and heartbreaks along the way.
There are as many ways to find your path as there are people and markets… I’m recommending ‘August Rush’ to help you tap into a dose of pure inspiration, hope, love, and good feelings that should go a long way to tap you into the best you have to give.
Go rent it… or buy it… and take a couple hours by yourself or with like minded/hearted spirits and watch it… you’ll understand, and feel, what I’m talking about.
If the media and those around you are dead set on fretting about how and when the sky will fall at any moment, you have to tap into something greater, something brighter, to guide you.
You get what you focus on, after all!
It’s yours for the watching in ‘August Rush’ on demand… and that is perhaps just what you need right now (whether you know it or not).
Do it today… and let me know what you think in the comments here.

Join Me For First Ever Online Streaming Video Interview on Inspired Marketing with Pat OBryan
By Craig Perrine
So last time I said I might be on a TV show this week… and so I wanted to give you a heads up about that…
Tomorrow at 7pm Central time I’ll be the first guest on ‘Portable Empire’ Pat OBryan’s new streaming online TV Show.
Pat and I were enjoying a cigar in Austin last week at a Starbucks (outside!) after hours.
I was telling him about the grateful and enthusiastic feedback I’d gotten from my first ever presentation about Inspired Marketing the weekend before at Mark Ryan and Joe Vitale’s ‘Attract Wealth’ Seminar (I do hope they offer the DVD’s of that event… it changed lives!).
So he suggested I join him on his brand new streaming TV show about Inspired Marketing.
Sounded good to me… so I am on at 7pm Central and here’s the link to go to at that time (it’s totally FREE to watch… and you can chat with us, too!)
One thing I know I’m going to talk about is how to take an idea from ‘inspiration’ to ‘implementation’ the easy and fun way.
It’s super easy… just go to www.portableempire.tv at showtime.
I think Pat’s onto something here with this live streaming video stuff…
So I invite you to join us tomorrow evening as he makes history with his first interview on his show.
And you know what… given how so many folks are stressing out these days, I highly recommend that you take an hour for yourself Tuesday evening with me and Pat (and reportedly a surprise guest, too) and recharge, relax, and hang out with us.
Oh, and speaking of Inspired Marketing, Mark Joyner emailed me today from Singapore… he said they got a whole stack of the book on display there!
Our book’s gone international now, very cool 
See you tomorrow?
Craig
P.S. You don’t have to have a web cam or anything… just be online, at www.portableempire.tv with your speakers on… that’s it!

Noah St. John ‘Inspired Marketing’ interview with me and Joe Vitale available for download
By Craig Perrine
Remember the other day I invited you on short notice to listen to Noah St. John interview me and Joe Vitale about "Inspired Marketing".
Well, I’ve gotten a ton of emails from folks who missed the call or couldn’t listen the whole time.
Great news…
The audio is at: http://www.NoahandJoe.com already for you to download, totally free, no opt in required.
Joe and I answered questions that I know pretty much everyone starting or running a business wrestle with.
For example…
Do you have a day job and want to find a way to get started in a business of your own?
Do you wonder how to come up with products and services that people will want to buy (so your business can succeed!)?
Do you want to feel happy, satisfied, inspired or do you want to stress out, worry and feel like you’re constantly ’selling’?
These are just some of the submitted questions that Joe and I answered… and the feedback from folks who listened to the call is that it rocked.
You can put it on your iPod, mp3 player or listen to it online… as you wish.
The audio is at: http://www.NoahandJoe.com
I’ve got more calls and webinars coming up… and even a TV show next week to tell you about so ’stay tuned’
