We spoke only briefly, but what Seth Godin told me I have thought about ever since.

In fact, I’ve refocused my business as a publishing coach and a Healing Codes Coach/Practitioner on it.

We spoke about publishing options, and why he made the decisions he did. Here’s what Seth Godin told me: “I have built my entire career on one thing:  relationships. And I work at it every single day.”

That’s it, folks. A career and business model based on one word:  relationships. Seth’s filter for the best way to publish is, “Will this enable me to build relationships with my audience the way I want to?”

Whether you’re an author, a counselor, a business person, or leader of any kind, this filter will work for you. What will enhance your ability to build relationships?

A lawyer and professor who teaches entrepreneurship once told me, “The key ingredient of a successful entrepreneur is the ability to partner.” Again, it’s about building relationships.

In my opinion, the key factor in the success of The Healing Code is that Dr. Alex Loyd has always focused on building relationships. A core business strategy has been to build relationships with “strategic partners” who eventually helped launch his book and who continue to give him exposure to new audiences.

How do you build relationships? Two simple words: “love and truth.”

A top-notch copywriter, Brian Keith Voiles, once said the key to success as a copywriter is, “Love your prospects.” If you truly have your clients/customers/partners’ best interests in mind, not just your own, word gets around. It’s so rare that when people find “the real thing,” they tend to spread the word.

Build your career as an author on  relationships–relationships based on love and truth. And remember Seth’s last words: “I work at it every single day.”

Thanks, Seth!

If you find yourself “blocked” in any way from building the kind of relationships you want, I invite you to consider looking into The Healing Code book or my Healing Codes coaching. You can also listen to the replay of the interview I did with Dr. Alex Loyd, author of The Healing Code, on getting unblocked, here.

One fateful day I listened to an interesting teleseminar in which Alex Mandossian interviewed a man name Dr. Alex Loyd on something called The Healing Codes, a revolutionary way to look at health and healing. (It has nothing to do with Eastern or Chinese medicine, chakras or meridians, by the way. You can listen to that same teleseminar here.)

Little did I know where that teleseminar would lead me, years later.

First, I was utterly fascinated by The Healing Codes. I eventually got them more than two years ago, and I have an amazing healing story to tell. (You can email me and I’ll send it to you, diane at wordstoprofit.com.) It’s a whole new paradigm for healing, but every day studies are coming out that validate that Dr. Alex Loyd truly has discovered something revolutionary. (Interestingly, though, King Solomon talked about this 3000 years ago.)

Now I am working with Dr. Loyd on The Healing Code book, which will come out early next year. Yes, it’s interesting how one teleseminar can change one’s life.

That teleseminar led to physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for me. But there’s more.

It was another teleseminar that changed my life as an author and business person-and by the same person, Alex Mandossian.

That teleseminar was the Preview call for Virtual Book Tour Secrets, in 2006. I immediately saw how elegant that system was, how perfect for using as a centerpiece for marketing one’s book. I took Alex’s VBT course, began doing Virtual Book Tours for authors and publishers (more info here), and that opened a whole new career direction for me.

Having experienced the quality of training I got through VBT Secrets, I wanted to take the more in-depth Teleseminar Secrets course as soon as I could. It never disappointed me.

You get so much from Alex Mandossian’s training as a student. For instance, you can get some free video training right now, by signing up for his pre-training.

The Preview Call will extend the training. And if you go for the whole course, just  look at all the bonuses, all the testimonials. It really is that good. And as an alum, you get to take it over and over every year at no cost. It truly is an investment. It paid me back within three months.

Alex says he turned his yearly income into monthly income in three years. It’s been two years now for me. As I looked at my figures, I am amazed to say that I’m on track for that myself!

What can a teleseminar do for you? Attend his Teleseminar Secrets Preview training and find out for yourself. These Preview calls are truly worth $99, as he gives you very actionable steps that you can take to the bank. But you won’t have to pay $99, since I got you a VIP discount of $79, so it’s only $20. And you can listen to it again and again. You’ll get an Action Guide to take notes on and review later.

I urge you to attend the Preview call on December 3. And if you possibly can, if this is a time when you can invest in yourself (remember, I only recommend things I truly believe are investments that will pay off for you, literally), then take the course. If you can’t do that right now, at least put into practice what you learn on the Preview call and save up your money to take the Virtual Book Tour Secrets in the summer, or Teleseminar Secrets a year from now.

UPDATE: I am offering a free Virtual Book Tour and 7 other bonuses for those who sign up for Teleseminar Secrets. Details here.

Who knows-maybe this will be the teleseminar that changes your life, too. Or maybe you’ll put on a teleseminar yourself from what you learn, that will change someone else’s life forever, as Alex Mandossian’s teleseminar with Dr. Alex Loyd changed mine.

You gave such helpful and intelligent responses!

We have a clear title winner: The Healing Code: Harness the Seven Secrets of Life, Health, and Prosperity

(If you’re curious about this whole topic, there is a great interview on The Healing Codes site.  The Healing Codes is a system that thousands of people around the world have used to heal virtually any health, success, or relationship issue–including Lou Gehrig’s disease, for which there is no cure or even treatment. It does so by healing the source of what modern science is finding is the at the root of just about any issue in life. The book will explain how it all works, and give a “Master Code” for healing, as well as a technique for dealing with circumstantial stress. It does take something of a paradigm shift to accept it, though it’s simple to learn and use. BTW, it is a unique system, and does not have anything to do with chakras, Reiki, or meridians. Listen to the interview. I found it fascinating when I first heard it, three years or so ago. I’ve been checking this out for 2 years now. It’s the real deal.)
