eckhart and oprah

eckhart and oprah have collaborated on a webcast that i think we can learn from.

the marketing plan
eckhart tolle is in the knowledge/expertise business just like a lot us us at entrepreneurs' connection.
first he writes a book.
he speaks continually all the time and apparently travels with his own video production crew. [he has over 6000 videos on youtube]
he sells his videos and his mp3 podcasts
he has his own subscription video service

and now he's done a webcast with oprah
even though both eckhart and oprah are well known all over ther globe, i think we can apply the marketing plan to our own businesses.

eckhart teaches
eckhart teaches meditation - sort of.
the buddhist call it mindfulness
christians call it the lord's prayer [Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven]
nevermind the different rituals and theology,
meditation has physical benefits [you will live longer, get sick less often, and heal faster]
meditation has emotional benefits [it will lower your stress level]
meditation has spiritual benefits [it will connect you to "Thy will be done"]
the taoists have a short explanation that is both doctrine and ritual free; and i paraphrase:

if the king[you] keeps his mind in heaven, his kingdom[your life] will be full of peace and prosperity
but if the king[you] keeps his mind on earthly things, his kingdom[your life] will be full of war, famine and pestilence

and if you are thinking "but they are chinese!" moses teaches the same thing in deuteronomy.
