What led me to creating this monthly audio was all the response I got in the past year from people whose lives and finances were dramatically and positively influenced by my 1987 Moneylove tape series from Nightingale-Conant. I’ve mentioned before what an amazing and gratifying surprise it was to come out of 12 years in prison and discover that my ideas and concepts were alive and well, even though few people knew that I was. Googling my name and getting thousands of hits, quotes, recommendations, testimonials, was an amazing experience. It led me to the decision to revise and annotate the original Moneylove book, and to start offering personal coaching, and now this audio club.
I strongly believe that one of the reasons my material has had such an impact over so many years is because I discovered early on in my teaching seminars that giving people different kinds of information in different modalities activated more of the subconscious mind and made a more powerful impact in effecting change.
For example, when I did a workshop, I would intentionally break it up, so that my agenda might look like this:
1. Lecture.
2. Visualization led by me.
3. Breaking into small discussion groups.
4. Pairing into twosomes for a prosperity exercise.
5. More lecture.
6. Large group experience or game.
7. Individual sharing in whole group.
I would bounce back and forth, so that we never spent more than fifteen minutes in any one format, and thus it would never be boring and the mind would have to stay alert and keep paying attention. Scientists have since found that this is a way to activate more parts of the brain. And I have no doubt that some of the people who subscribe to my monthly audio will expand their prosperity significantly even if they are already reading my blogs, or my books, or taking one-to-one coaching. Each of these reaches different parts of the brain, and the more forms you can use to take in information and inspiration, the more potent the internal mix will be.
As an aside, I have a dear friend who talks about all the books she reads, but she actually doesn’t read any books, she listens to them as audiobooks. For some people, including her, this is a great way to experience novels and nonfiction, especially as you can listen to a book on an iPod while doing other physical chores or driving.
But I assert that there is a part of the brain that isn’t getting exercised if you aren’t reading words on a page in a real book. People who choose one or the other form as the only way to experience books are missing out and depriving themselves and their brains.
So I caution and advise you that no matter how much value and pleasure and inspiration you may get from my monthly audios, don’t let them replace all the other ways of taking in information.
And as part of my commitment to create this mind mix, I am now learning some skills in producing videos, which I will add to my repertoire later this year. For it is also true that in addition to taking in stuff at a more potent level if you receive it in several different ways, delivering information in different ways also expands our horizons and mental skills.

Jerry,
When I divy up my workday with alternating tasks – reading, blogging, tweeting, talking, etc – I feel more energetic. Some days I listen to music while working, other days I’m more silent. Some days more phone work, other days more chatting. The variety lends to longer and lighter workdays, which is the perfect combination for me.
I agree that different forms of input increase brain power. Thanks for sharing your always valuable insight.
