FIRST – a sincere “THANK YOU!” to everyone who helped make the book a # 1 Bestseller by ordering a copy on the release date.

[NOTE - the book and special release date bonus package is still available, even though Amazon is showing, "Temporarily Out of Stock".
See > http://www.yourfitnessbook.com/amazon/ ]

I post this article today – not to toot my own horn – but rather to show you what can be achieved when you set your mind to something.

First we start with a cool screen shot of my book, Fatness to Fitness, sitting in the top spot on the Exercise and Fitness Bestseller List on Amazon.com. (as I’m typing this – it is STILL in the # 1 spot).

#1 Bestseller: ‘Fatness to Fitness’
———————————————————————————

We hit # 1 around midday yesterday and have been there ever since.

Now – here is why this is important….

Several weeks ago the book wasn’t even printed – in other words, ‘there was no book’… yet.

BUT – it was in the works – as about 3 years ago I decided to ‘write a book’…. AND make it a Bestseller.

That was just the beginning.

Everything that followed that decision was fueled by ‘focused intention’. In other words – I did whatever I needed to do – to fulfill my goal.

The fact that you see my book in THE top spot should light a fire in you. It should make you truly understand that YOU are capable of achieving much more than you might believe at this point in your life.

See – to the book/publishing world – before yesterday – ‘Joey Atlas’ was a ‘nobody’. Joey Atlas didn’t exist.

Well, that’s different today.

Because, literally – from a ‘million miles away’ – I was preparing to strike like lightening. And that I did.

Now – you must understand that the books that sit at the top of the bestseller lists are backed by the biggest publishing companies in the world with a LOT of money to spend on marketing and advertising.

BUT – again, I go back to this: When you put your mind to something – you can achieve great things.

You make a decision…

Then you assess your current status. You learn what tools are needed. You find out what paths are available. You decide which path fits you best. You map out a plan. And then you follow your plan – with an open mind, ‘flexibility’, and enthusiasm – with the end result in focus.

That’s how I went from ‘nobody’ (I say that facetiously) to # 1 Bestseller (I say that with all seriousness). And it’s exactly how you can go after your own goals – whatever it or they may be.

A few cool notes about the book release. We also hit # 19 on the OVERALL Amazon Bestseller list yesterday (I think we are currently # 24). This is amazing considering the names that you see on that list – some real heavy hitters who get tons and tons of media exposure every single day – and that there are a few million books on Amazon.

And we are also at # 4 in the ‘Health, Mind & Body’ Bestseller list. When you look at some of the books and authors that we leap-frogged yesterday – its a bit ‘energizing’ to say the least.

For those of you asking…

“Yes!” – my next book is in the works… and I want you in it!

The title is ‘Fitness – The Atlas Way’ – and YOU have the opportunity to be featured in that book and be part of my next Bestseller. All the details are in the last chapter of Fatness to Fitness.

Essentially – you turn yourself into your own success story by following my advice while tracking your progress along the way – and when you reach your goal – you send me your ‘Before and After’ success story, interview questionnaire and photos. If it’s good – you are in the next book.

Thats in for now – Don’t forget to leave your comments below – I’ll be waiting to hear from you.

Snoop Dogg, Batman and Joey Atlas

May 29th, 2008

- by Joey Atlas
———————————————————————————-

What do Snoop Dogg, Batman and Joey Atlas have in common?

No – It’s not a # 1 Selling Rap Album (that was Snoop Dogg, I think)

No – It’s not the ability to beat the crap out of 7 bad guys in 3 minutes (that was Batman, but I could do it if I had to)

No – It’s not a # 1 Best Selling Fitness, Nutrition and Life Enhancement Book (that’s gonna be me next week, on June 5th)

Here is what the 3 of us do have in common. We each own a Chrysler 300 – but each is very different from the others – especially mine…

Here is Snoop Doggs’ – as you can see it’s been ‘pimped out’:

Below is Batman’s (well, really Adam West) – pretty mild – no flames coming out the back like the Batmobile:

And below is mine – keep in mind – it’s a 1962 Chrysler 300, about 43 years older than the ones you see above. And – it needs a makeover of it’s own – which is happening while we speak…

Atlas Chrysler 300

Below is what it will look like after the ‘makeover’ – just a bit cooler though – and it will be all black…

1962 chrysler 300

Why a 1962 Chrysler 300?, you ask…

Well, 2 reasons:

1 – We needed an official promotional vehicle for my book launch and ongoing book promotion tour – and long term promotion events. And I found this one a few weeks ago at the exact right moment – the experience was ‘magnetic’.

2 – I am a classic/muscle car fanatic and doing a restoration project like this has been a dream of mine since childhood.

So you must be wondering about the book launch next week. Right now we are hard at work preparing for the launch – lots of small details to get in order when working with Amazon – to get everything set up properly.

The official launch date is June 5th – Thursday of next week (this will be different – of course, in other parts of the world.)

So stay tuned – and in the meantime – leave me your comments below – I’d love to hear from you.

Your trainer,

Fat Loss – Struggle of a Lifetime or Reward of a Better Life?

March 28th, 2008

As per the dictionary – there are about 3 or 4 definitions of the word ‘fitness’. In the real world, however, there are as many definitions as there are people willing to volunteer their answer. Many factors go into this ‘infinite meanings of fitness’ scenario – but one of the most influential, is one’s own place in their journey to a better quality of life – a state of optimal fitness.

I remind you – when I use the phrase ‘optimal fitness’ – I am not saying we must all look like the models that cover the pages of the glossy fitness and glamour magazines (although there is nothing wrong if you do) – I’m talking about fitness that goes beneath our outer layer – fitness that includes your health/medical profile, your moods, your energy, your longevity and the vitality of your spirit… Fitness is not just about ‘ripped abs’, ’super hot bodies’ and ‘chiseled muscles’ – no its much broader and deeper than that.

We each have circumstances, experiences and life situations – that influence who we are, how we think and the actions we take. At any given point we have the ability to go inside ourselves to take more control of ‘who we are and what we choose to do’ – There is a great example of someone doing this right now in her brief but very insightful article, (click to read => The Struggle of a Lifetime.

Many of you – male or female, fitness beginner or seasoned fitness pro, will get something out of reading this article and following Leanne’s progress. The photo overlay of her fat loss she shows, is very neat – …never saw one like that. Her story is one that MANY of you will be able to identify with – and on the other hand some of you will have no idea of what she has gone through – BUT – you may know someone who has or is going through what she talks about.

Learn from her words and see what you can do to help yourself or someone you know who may be looking for some support and encouragement. In world loaded with isolated health and fitness tips – a ‘true to life’ story can be the big catalyst that moves people into action and toward permanent success.

Don’t Be Like Everybody Else… Be Fit!

PS – much praise and lots of questions coming in to us regarding this site/blog and the new book. One answer is, Yes. – I will be covering a wide array of health, fitness and exercise information in the articles I post on this site. Topics ranging from ‘proactive mindset’ to circuit training and beyond – just too much to list here – so just stay tuned…
