The 11th Element: The Key to Unlocking Your Master Blueprint for Wealth and Success

The 11th element is about tapping into your Inner CEO, aka your intuition, and accessing the invisible network for guidance and success in your life. Techniques include naming your Inner CEO, and communicating by talking and writing letters to your 'IC' and stating what it is you think you want or need based on the limited perspective of your concious mind, and if that's not in line with your inner CEO's plan for you, then you ask for something even better. This explains that even though we are mostly unconcious of it, our Inner CEO is constantly working, orchestrating and planning behind the scenes on our behalf. The author gives a plethora of examples of famous successful people who have made it to where they are because of listening to their Inner CEO. I listened to this book on cd, and enjoyed it. Listening to John McDonough's narration of this with his softened scruffy voice made me feel like I was sitting down listening to God give me advice. Although I enjoyed the cd, I think that having the book would be more helpful in that you could go back and re-read or highlight certain areas that are of interest and especially for reading over the author's sample letters. It's good to have on cd though, for when you're traveling maybe to and from work so that you can absorb the information.

It is really funny and you see it again and again with self help books: people review the book, praise or pan it, but never ever tell you if they used it or it worked for them. Robert Scheinfeld has two books out and a fairly expensive "on line course" that is more advanced. I have only used the books. I used the 11th element book. His other book, which I own, is the same thing, BUT the topics of the sample letters in the books are different. The 11th Element is about making money, paying debt, getting jobs and the other book is more about personal growth. But the way you make requests is the same, so once you get the format down, you are fine. So I would say, buy one book and use it. If it works, buy the other book because seeing sample request in the area you wish to work on helps. ABOUT THE BOOK In essense he has you write a letter to your Higher Self or "Inner CEO" or subconsious (SC). I think ONE of the reasons it works is because unlike other books, he educates your SC how to help bring things about (unlike another school of thought which says that your SC or higher self knows all and can get all). Though not highlighted, that is what is NEW in this book, IMO. Using the book, which is really about manifesting your hearts desire and I got a number of things: Women, women, creative concepts, jobs, and a series of outcomes that I asked for. For Scheinfeld, when you ask: you must be clear and if you do not get your desire answered (having been clear and used his form letter for requests), it was answered anway because you make the request to your inner CEO for what you want, "or even something better". So something not happening, he would say, is for the best. Some may not like this answer and I find it very limiting. But what I listed above was stuff I did ask for in a very specific way that came to be. I gave the book to a friend, and she got wealth and reduced gliches in her life. Reading the book, by the way, is the MOST work you will have to do with his system. So you have to wonder about the reviewers who read the book but did not follow up. Here is what I did: I set up an e-mail for my inner-CEO. Each request I wrote was a simple, because I cut and pasted out of previous letters some of the standard language I had used before in other manifestation requests.

Just finished this book and loved it. Great advice and written in a compelling way. I am a CEO, and agree with the concept of finding your inner CEO, so I believe this book will be useful for those who strive to lead and those who are in positions of leadership. I strongly recommend another book, Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self which has given my people the mental software to make the most of the most challenging situations, optimize their dealings with others and master feelings (instead of avoiding them). I recommend these books as solid cutting-edge contributions for the new millenium.

The 11th Element opened my eyes to the "invisible network" that has been guiding me my entire life, even though I wasn't aware of it. Now that I am, I have been using it to accomplish things in my personal and professional life that I never thought were possible!

I admit I'm a skeptic ... but I read The 11th Element with an open mind. This book is easy to read and I found that my skepticism slipped away as simple ways to tackle problems in business were revealed. I followed Bob Scheinfeld's template to craft a request for help for something simple. It was answered in a few days!! So, I followed the same template, asking for help in something harder. This time, the answer came in a slightly longer period, but it was still answered! I consider this a must read for anyone looking to achieve wealth and success, fuel the growth of their business, and enjoy the pleasures of life.
