Guest Occupation: Attract Money Guru and Author
Guest Biography:

James Goi Jr., aka The Attract Money Guru™, is the bestselling author of How to Attract Money Using Mind Power—a book that set a new standard for concise, no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point self-help books. He condenses and simplifies abstract metaphysical concepts and powerful success principles, making this life-changing information accessible to everyone. James has thus far written ten books. You can see James in the groundbreaking docudrama, Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy

(Feel free to use or not use that last sentence as you see fit.)

Regarding questions/talking points: 

A great reference for talking points is to just refer to the table of contents of my book for subject ideas to talk about. Here are the titles of those 20 chapters for your easy reference: Desire; Belief; Expectancy; Money Mindset; Money Goals; Think End Results; Think and Feel As If; Speak As If; Act As If; Affirmations; Visualization; Environment; Organization; Laws of Money; Intuition; Plans; Right Livelihood; Self-Image; Personal Energy; Radiate Financial Increase.

And here are 7 possible questions 

1. Attracting money with mind power--that's quite a concept. What would you say to people who are wondering if that is really even possible?

2. Is this basically another form of "positive thinking?"

3. Belief seems to play a big part in what you teach. What is the importance of belief in the process of attracting money?

4. And can you explain what exactly you mean by the term "money mindset" as you use it in your book?

5. In chapter eight you write about the "speak as if" technique. What exactly does that mean, and how does the way we speak affect the way we attract money?

6. I think the "act as if" technique is one that students of metaphysics should be familiar with. How does that apply to the task of attracting money with mind power?

7. The use of affirmations seems to be popular these days. How does one use affirmations to create better financial circumstances?

Guest Occupation: Yoga therapist
Guest Biography:

Nine years ago, this October 28th, I finished treatment for iiic colon cancer. I was 47, and had been a Resource Specialist for over 25 years, mostly in San Diego. But my chances of recurrence were high, so I retired early, thinking that I had about five years to live (if I was lucky). Chemotherapy was devastating to me and not having a job was depressing and scary. I worked at home to rebuild my strength and my life’s purpose. Always a yoga enthusiast, I found I couldn’t do what I was used to doing. Others must be having the same issue – trying to find a way back to a ‘new normal’? I became a yoga teacher and yoga activist. I am a listserv consultant on many cancer sites and made a yoga cd, gave away over 3,000. The YCS cd is now available for free download, and in Spanish, too. Russian is the next language and I hope to have it translated into as many languages as possible. I speak at cancer symposiums and teach YCS yoga in San Diego. I am putting a 45 hour teacher training on line by January 2013. We hear so much about yoga to rebuild and regain strength, but for me, it was about dealing with the emotional, physical and psychological effects of cancer where yoga has done its greatest healing. I specialize in teaching patients in therapy and long-term treatment.

Jean Di Carlo-Wagner, M.A., E-RYT500, yoga therapist is a 12-year colorectal cancer survivor (2003). She used yoga to help herself regain a 'new normal' and then became a yoga teacher to help other survivors. Her work is free to cancer patients at YogaBeing.net. Jean attends cancer conferences and speaks on the benefits of yoga for cancer survivors. Survivor, advocate, activist, teacher and friend.
