Sacramento-Folsom Resident Creates Award-Winning New Movie Exploring "Zero Limits"

A name recognized worldwide for his bestselling books and appearance in the hit movie The Secret, Vitale’s journey from homelessness to becoming an acclaimed author, speaker, mentor and musician is not just about achieving personal success; it is about inspiring others to believe that anything is possible. His latest project, Zero Limits, is a powerful film about doing what others might consider impossible; a powerful testament to his philosophy that there are no limits to what anyone can achieve if they believe and act.

A Dream Turned Reality: The Birth of Zero Limits

Joe Vitale’s career has long been intertwined with personal growth and motivational teachings. He received the US President Lifetime Achievement award in 2024 and the Los Angeles Tribune Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021. He’s written over 90 books, including The Attractor Factor and The Miracle. He’s recorded 15 music albums. He entered Mixed Martial Arts at age 71. Yet, it was his deep desire to do more, to reach beyond just writing books and giving speeches, that led him to create Zero Limits the movie.

Filmed locally in the Sacramento-Folsom area, the indie film takes audiences on a transformative journey about breaking through personal boundaries and overcoming self-imposed limitations. Vitale wanted the film to be an embodiment of his "Zero Limits" philosophy, challenging viewers to confront their beliefs, limitations, and fears. He and a cast of nearly two dozen experts, teachers, authors and speakers reveal their stories about transcending limits.

The film’s release has been nothing short of remarkable, earning 38 international film award nominations and winning 18 prestigious awards so far. Streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV, Zero Limits is a cinematic documentary that speaks to anyone seeking empowerment, regardless of their current circumstances.

A Path of Resilience: From Homelessness to Global Recognition

Joe Vitale’s life is a powerful testament to the importance of belief and persistence. Once homeless and struggling to make ends meet, Vitale’s journey from the streets to worldwide recognition was anything but easy. Overcoming numerous obstacles, including financial hardships and personal doubts, he discovered his true calling as a motivational figure. “I got into self help because I needed help,” he says with a smile. “I didn’t know it would become my life mission.”

From his humble beginnings, Vitale has written 90 books, appeared in the groundbreaking film The Secret, and worked with countless individuals, from CEO’s to presidents and royalty and more, to help them overcome their own barriers. His story is one of perseverance, demonstrating that success does not come without challenges but is made possible through resilience and self-belief.

“The real key is not just dreaming big, but acting on those dreams with the unshakable belief that you can make them happen,” Vitale says. "The mindset of Zero Limits isn’t about wishing things will change—it’s about taking action with the belief that you have the power to change your life."

The Creation of Zero Limits: A Film That Reflects His Journey

After years of sharing his message through books and speaking engagements, Vitale wanted to create something that would not only inspire but also challenge viewers in a deeper way. Zero Limits was born from his desire to craft a story that went beyond typical motivational rhetoric. 

“I saw the impact a movie could have when I was in the movie The Secret,” he explains. “I knew I could reach more people than my books could by having a film about my message.”

The film explores the idea that limits are only in our minds. Through the experiences of its stars, Zero Limits shows the transformative power of releasing past baggage, forgiving oneself, and embracing the limitless possibilities within each of us. It’s a story of triumph, healing, and the courage to embrace change. 

At the heart of the film is ho’oponopono, a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Vitale has written several books about the practice, in Zero Limits and At Zero, but the film is the first movie to ever explain the once secret practice of ho’oponopono. 

Vitale’s personal involvement in the production of the film brought an additional layer of authenticity. As someone who has lived through struggles and achieved success, Vitale’s insights permeate the film, making it relatable to viewers at all stages of their own journeys.

What Sets Zero Limits Apart

Joe Vitale’s approach to his work is unique in that it is rooted in personal experience. Having transitioned from homelessness to international fame, his message is grounded in reality rather than theory. His own life serves as proof that it is possible to overcome even the most daunting obstacles. At age 55 he enrolled in fitness contests and won three medals. At age 60 he became a musician and recorded 15 albums. At age 65 he learned strongman training and bent horseshoes and steel bars. At age 71 he enrolled in Kovar’s Martial Arts in Folsom.

Vitale’s decision to enroll in mixed martial arts at the age of 71 further demonstrates his commitment to the idea that age or circumstance should not limit personal growth. Through both his career and personal actions, he continuously challenges the status quo and encourages others to do the same. 

“I still struggle when I try something new,” he admits, “but I know with persistence and support, and self belief, anything is possible.”

“My philosophy is simple: don’t settle for what you think you can do. Break past your perceived limits,” Vitale says. “The journey doesn’t end when you reach a goal; that’s when the real growth begins.”
