Power of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Michael Kwan, who blogs for Pho, has a cute post titled Power of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. Basically, if you truly believe that something is going to happen, there’s a good chance that it is going to manifest itself. In other words, whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. I wonder if Kwan has been reading Think and Grow Rich?

Hey John,
Thank you for the link. And no, I have never sold Ice to Eskimos, but Fire in Hell on the other hand…
Great to see you Derek getting recognition for your awesome post.
I’m loving the Star Trek vs Star Wars episode! Awesome stuff!
Thanks for mentioning the CSS book. I’m finally going to get that one.
Too bad, I can’t come to the Dot Com Pho as I live in India.
Thank you for the free e-book tip!!! Your site always provides something for me daily!!!
Do you usually do your earnings report on the 1st of every month??
Most of the time, yes.
Thanks for great ebook and sales article!
that video was awesome until darth somehow unrealistically used force through a video link… that was incredibly LAME!
I don’t think Vader has enough Force skill to choke the entire crew of the Enterprise. One of two people, sure. But a crew of 1500? No way!
Thanks for the eBook advice. Am having to always Google everytime I have to work with my themes. You have a lot of good stuff for the Pho, envious once again to not live in Vancouver.
I think maybe Kwan stayed up last night watching the secret on dvd. Regardless of what inspired him it is extremely true. If you want to achieve great success you need to truly believe that you can, otherwise you are just wasting your time. I know I do not read this blog because I went to high school with John. He is extremely successful at what he does and I hope to learn from him. Great post Michael. A big thanks on the ebook tip as well.
Thanks for the free e-book tip. Your site always provides something
Heading to Vic for the weekend, enjoy your pho!
John Thanks for the free ebook.
Lol darth vader.. old school character!
Love the plug for the free CSS book! Thanks again, John!
John,
Excellent post. The depth and breadth of the information you provide on your blog is truly amazing! Such good information and all for free!
I’m planning a massive donation launch next week, Nate of Unique Blog Designs has been requested to create the web pages and donation button. If he agrees we should launch sometime next week.
Beneficiaries? KIDS!
I wanted to do something for others during the holiday season. Will provide more detail as we get closer to the launch. It’s going to be huge!

There is definitely some truth to believing you can do something and accomplishing it. I know that it is intuitive but you not only have to believe but you have to do something about it. You have to make sacrifices and live a disciplined life. It’s like Godin’s book “Dip” and Kenny Rodger you have to “know when hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run” (I know you want to sing it!!!)
Good Video,
I would have like to have seen Capt. Kirk but either way good stuff. I think Star Wars won!!
Cool video, don’t mess with the force
Another fun Dot Com Pho. Can’t wait to see the video.
I love the star trex video too… funny
Sitepoint’s ebook seems very informative.
Good stuff on Derek’s blog. I’m ready to sell diet supplements to skinny people.
Good information! Let me mail you for my birth. Thanks.
