Hi, it's John,
I've been planning— and (it's transparency time) procrastinating— doing what I'm about to in this BeliefBusters Report for a number of weeks. Now, I'm ready (as I'll ever be).
What I'll be showing and telling you about here is my new book, Belove It!.
What's here for you is an "Author's Working Manuscript Copy" as of 12.12.08. It's 36 pages. I've done more since, but you'll get the gist and then some of what I'm up to and what the book is like— and what there is for you to like.
It's good fun how it came about, too.
I was emailing with a new "virtual" friend, Ann-Marie Caffrey, from Dublin, Erin. She's the creator of The Smart-Attractor Blog. AM, as she signs on and off, encouraged me to… you know what? I'll cut/paste the email she sent me in this Report. It's her "thinking" that got me to start writing the book.
I do have a request for you: Please, tell me what you think and feel about Belove It!. What you like best and why? What would be ideal? And what's not quite right— yet.
Thanks for doing that. I appreciate you. So, here goes…
Brief "news" item before I begin. We're working on a Special Offer that will end at year's end that combines the 13 week BeliefBusters Course PLUS a FREE three-month Membership in the BeliefBusters Inner Circle. It's not ready yet. Next week for sure. You'll be the second to know.
BTW, if you don't have the richly rewarding relationships you desire… the intimate, empowering partnerships you deserve… and the satisfying, successful career that provides the money, freedom, fulfillment and fun you dream of… it's because of your beliefs…
You Can Change Your Beliefs TODAY!
WTH are you waiting for? (Really. No kidding. Why wait?)
I forgot to say your transformation is "guaranteed." (It is!)

A Quote About Belief
The new definition of belief the Belover shared with us came from her taking a look at the two parts of the word itself: Be, which means to exist, to have reality or life. And lieve, which comes from the Indo-European root leubh, which means to care, desire… to love.
Belief as Be Love.
— John Milton Fogg
from the new book Belove It!
Ann-Marie's Inspiring Email: "Tell the story…"
Here's a < snip > from the eMail that inspired the writing of the book.
Over the past few years, with the huge popularity of Law of Attraction, the self-help book market is saturated with everybody trying to find something new to say or a new way to say it.
But, in the end— all those books are equally ineffective.
The reason being they try to effect change by presenting the reader with very clear instructions of what they must do to improve their lives… the clearer the instruction, the better it seems!
But is that true?
All those bold statements and bullet points make sense on an intellectual level: i.e. 'Here is what you need to change— and here is why.'
But, does it make sense to our subconscious?
Nope!
Therefore, we all build a stock pile of self help books in our homes— while retaining our hang-ups, our self sabotaging beliefs.
All that happens when we read these books is we increase our awareness of our bad habits— but remain powerless to change them.
Net result— We end up feeling worse instead of better!
So, what DOES work?
Let's go back to your Greatest Networker… book.
You wrote a story!
Instead of trying to argue your message across— that's why your softly- softly approach was so powerful.
You've probably heard of a guy called Milton Ericson… well known hypnotist— he created a technique of story telling to help his patients— with very successful results. The technique was called 'Therapeutic Metaphor.'
Erickson maintained that it was not possible to consciously instruct the unconscious mind, and that authoritarian suggestions were likely to be met with resistance. The unconscious mind responds to openings, opportunities, metaphors and contradictions. Effective hypnotic suggestion, then, should be 'artfully vague', leaving space for the subject to fill in the gaps with their own unconscious understandings— even if they do not consciously grasp what is happening.
Hopefully you're still with me here— I'm getting to the point…
Take your BeliefBusters material and construct a story— or series of stories— around each lesson.
So, instead of telling someone "it is better to be patient in life" or to that they ought to "play the inner game," instead, weave a story around the message— your protagonist works his way through an experience where mistakes are made, but never explicitly talked about.
The reader keeps thinking, "For heaven's sakes, why can't that guy just be more patient?" or "It's no wonder she never succeeds, her mindset is all wrong," etceteras.
The after-effects of the story keep working on the reader.
A bit like a stealth missile— the lesson gets delivered straight to the subconscious mind. Without any effort, the reader has just shifted his beliefs!
Now, THAT'S a classic, self-improvement book I would definitely want to have on my bookshelf!
Well, I took to head and heart what Ann-Marie told me and… that's what you'll be downloading below. Not sure I can pull-off the all-story deal. I'm already over the line of telling rather than showing. But… let me know what you think.
Needing to say, "Thanks Ann-Marie. I appreciate you. And, I BeLove you!"
BELOVE IT!
Self-Esteem… Be Healthy, Wealthy and Happy NOW!
— John Milton Fogg
Introduction
This is a book about belief— the awesome power of belief to transform your life and to change the world.
This is a book about a new definition of belief— a dramatic 180-degree shift from meaning with absolute certainty and accepting as true, to belief as be love.
This is a book about changing unwanted, self-sabotaging beliefs that limit you to beliefs that empower and serve you; to beliefs that assure your success and meaningful achievement in any and every area of your life for the better… forever… starting right now.
This is a book about you living your life in 3D— as you deeply and completely Desire, Dream and Deserve.
This is a book that will not tell you how to do all the above— it will simply show you.
This is a book. It's just a book. It cannot and will not change your life. Only you can do that.
And you can… do that.
