"Inspired Marketing! is, quite simply, a lesson in life itself. It is that rare book which teaches you to not just think in monetary terms, but to, instead, follow a path from the heart. Joe and Craig reveal that the easiest way to success is to follow your passion, conquer fear and procrastination, and be a genuine giver. I could think of no better advice in the world!
"Many people are simply not ready for success; and, therefore, are destined to fail. Inspired Marketing! prepares you for what means most to you, how you can make a difference, and how to share your inspiration with others. Sometimes, your mind is your toughest critic--teach your mind to work for you, not against you. Pick up a copy of Inspired Marketing! today!"
-"DJ" Dave Bernstein, www.HiFiWebGuy.com
"The difference between an entrepreneur and a dreamer is action. I love the stories in this book! Seeing how these brilliant minds take their ideas, their dreams, their passions and turn them into successful businesses is what my uncle calls, 'the very essence!' Many of the people in this book, including Dr. Joe Vitale, Craig Perrine, and Armand Morin have greatly inspired my success. Their stories are extremely enlightening and will show you what to do with your great ideas, your great dreams, and your great passions. I wish I read Inspired Marketing! twenty years ago, but as I learned from Armand's chapter, the time must not have been right!"
-Steve Rosenbaum, author, Big terrible Home Sale, www.BigBadHomeSale.com

Reader Reviews
An Inspirational Disappointment Although Joe Vitale and Craig Perrine are both listed as the authors, this book is primarily the work of Craig Perrine. It appears to me that Joe Vitale basically lent his name to the book for marketing purposes. Thirteen of the fourteen chapters are the work of Perrine. This book is an example of what you hear a lot about today in the product development arena: leveraging your content. Each of the chapters is a cleaned-up section of a telephone conversation or interview. The first chapter is a conversation between the two authors, Vitale and Perrine. The remaining 13 chapters are conversations/interviews between Perrine and famous and not so famous Internet marketers, each telling their own story. The idea for the book apparently came out of a mastermind group involving Vitale, Perrine and several others whose stories are contained in the book. While the idea may have been inspiring, I found the end product to fall terribly short of being inspirational. While some of the individual stories in the book did contain instances of brilliant inspiration and insight, in total, I think the book leaves a lot to be desired. This is clearly not one of Joe Vitale's better books. While Craig Perrine may be an Internet marketing superstar, this book does not help his case as an author. Overall, I am pretty uninspired by the book. To me, the book lacks continuity or cohesiveness. And oh by the way, I guess because of all the different stories presented, I missed the step-by-step model eluded to on the front flap of the book's dust jacket. If you are thinking about buying this book, save yourself the money and get the book from your library or have them Interlibrary Loan a copy of the book for you.
