j.joshua beisel, sometimes known as “The Attraction King” is the CEO and founder of “My Phone Room” (myphoneroom.com) was born in Texas. Josh grew up in the back woods of Mississippi in a coon-hunting, ranching, rural kind of area. His nearest neighbor was a mile away. As he approached high school they moved to Savannah, Georgia. He got to live by the beach and it was a whole different lifestyle.

Josh spent a little time at college. He was honored with full-paid scholarships to pretty much any college he wanted, but unfortunately according to Josh, at the time he wasn’t smart enough to realize what he had. He did about a year of college and – at least at the time – thought he could make a lot more money by not wasting time in college and just getting right into his career. He has always regretted it, but that was then.

The college was a local university in Atlanta, Georgia with a beautiful campus. Reflecting on his time there Josh notes that the difference between high school and college was that in high school he had a lot of people looking out for what he needed to do and in college the biggest change was that there was no oversight. Nobody was reminding him to do what he needed to do and the harsh realities of the world kind of hit him. “I am alone. It’s got to be up to me.”

A year or so outside of college was when Josh first realized that that was the case. Failing in college was pretty much the first time josh had ever really failed in life. To be able to reflect on that and see that he missed the opportunity because he wasn’t taking responsibility to create his own future was one of the lessons he learned. He didn’t learn it right away; it took him a few years of looking back to figure it out. But the lesson has served him well in preparing him for what he is now doing.

Josh’s first job began right as he went into college. He was eighteen years old and had moved to Atlanta – which was the first big city he had ever lived in. Having grown up in the country and the backwoods of Mississippi, Josh didn’t really know a lot about the world. He had never really heard of the term telemarketing before.

His first job while going to college, living in the big city, was telemarketing. They gave him quite an education about sales and marketing and he found it very interesting. With the benefit of a lot of great trainers and people that really showed him the ropes, Josh found that he was really good at it right out of the gate. That was his first real world business experience other than the farm stuff he was around as a kid.

Even though he didn’t have much prior business experience, Josh has always been somewhat of an entrepreneur. He started with his first network marketing opportunity when he was sixteen. His dad had to sign him up for it because you had to be 18 to join, but from then and going forward the next five or six years, every single few months he was doing one program or another – just something to make money, whether it was trying to make money stuffing envelopes or trying to do easy crafts from home or take pictures for a living. Josh always had this idea that he was an entrepreneur between networking marketing and traditional business, between the ages of 16 and 25, Josh probably worked with a hundred or so different ones. Most of them didn’t turn out to be anything.

One of Josh’s most successful early part-time businesses was where he used to go door to door in neighborhoods and would sell a service where he marked somebody’s address on the curb. He was making pretty good money doing it. Josh put out a flier one day and then the next morning they would put check or cash out at the door with his little orange flier and he would spray paint their address on the curb to make it a little bit easier for people to see.

Success in network marketing eluded Josh until he was about 29 or 30. It took him working part time years and years. He became successful in corporate America in direct response marketing long before he began to understand what networking was all about.

Josh had heard a lot about attraction marketing his entire life, just because he studied a lot of personal development, but really didn’t have the first clue about it until he read the book The Secret. When Josh read that book, it really exposed him to the idea that we can attract into our universe that which we focus on. With support and additional resources from his mentor of several years, Josh really started this journey in attraction marketing in late 2008. Two years later at 35 the tangible results are showing.

Now, as he looks back on his life, Josh realizes that in times of great stress, at times of great difficulty or great challenge, He was often able to summon the positive energy, the focus, the patience to sit down with a calm head and say, “Here’s what we really need; let’s focus on what we really need. What can we do to make this happen?” Josh is beginning to understand that he was successful because he was using attraction marketing the entire time, but he didn’t realize that that’s what it was.

Josh became completely consciously aware of what he was doing in late 2008 and as he began to implement that, and moved into 2009 he started to see some massive changes and improvements in his business. Josh went from somewhere around 500 people that he added into his different businesses in 2008; to over 5,000 in 2009. In fact, in January of 2009, Josh added about 500 people into one company.

“That’s really where it started to take off for me and I started to understand that what I want – if I am really specific about saying, “Hey this is what I want,” – and I focus on it and identify the different aspects of it, and I start communicating with other people and asking other people to help me manifest what I want by asking them to participate in the creative process in accomplishing a goal, then I was able to really manifest what I would have previously felt was impossible, and basically become what some people would call an overnight success. Though it did take me years and years to get here, what ultimately pushed me over the edge and gave me the momentum to succeed was attraction marketing and the law of attraction.” – j.josua beisel
