Actually,

I'm not going to share the secret here. I was just testing the headline. Did you enjoy it?

It appears that synchronicity lives even with my grandparents. My grandmother's brother has been a nutrition for decades, studying, specifically, chicken. Yes, he is a poultry nutritionist. He has been writing articles and giving lectures at seminars and even playing soccer ... at the tender young age of 84.

Recently, he was contacted by a woman on the Internet. She liked one of his articles, and wanted to publish it. He gave his permission and they entered into an agreement for him to contribute more writings.

My great-uncle lives in South Dakota and has a farm that he works on. He does, however, travel often. He was down in Arizona when he learned of a nutrition convention in the area, and decided to attend.

As he sat in the audience, he struck up a conversation with the individual sitting next to him.

It turned out to be the very woman he had met online.

Coincidence is for the birds.

We signed up for Netflix. Actually, we rejoined. I loaded my queue with movies I believe have a sort of "entrepreneurial" impact. Titles like What the bleep... and The Big Kahuna.

I also joined a new university. I'm back at school, after all. This time, it is the MLMU ... the multi-level marketing university. A year long course, with homework and everything.

Here is where it gets a bit synchronistic.

I mentioned earlier (even wrote to my list) how my good friend, client, and coach Dr. Joe Vitale released his awesome new book, the Attractor Factor. When I began network marketing, my mentor suggested I read several books. One of those was Spiritual Marketing, by Joe Vitale. It was impactful. To make a short story boring, I picked up the Attractor Factor and read it cover to cover in one night (I traded sleep for personal development). When I joined the MLMU, my preliminary coach suggested three books for me to read.

One of them was the Attractor Factor. I had to grin and laugh, and share that I just closed the cover on the last page.

When I went to my very first network marketing seminar, I met a gentleman by the name of John DiLemme. John is a former seven-figure income earner in network marketing. He was also a stutterer for years and is now an international motivational speaker. My mentor in the company hired one Jeffrey Combs to share with us his information on our international team call. Jeffrey struck a chord with me when he talked about how many people use their full time job as an excuse to not get involved with their part time business, so I promptly fired my boss! He referred to it as "jumping from the cliff, and figuring out how to make the parachute on the way down." That's what I've been doing. :)

So if this is not synchronistic enough for you, both Jeffrey and John DiLemme were together at an event - More Heart than Talent it was called, and was hosted by Jeffrey. At that event, I met Mark Victor Hansen — perhaps one of the greatest marketers on the face of the planet, because who else managed to create an entire section in the bookstores using their brand name? That is awesome, and he has energy (hey, my grandfather saw him speak years ago in Sioux Falls, go figure, we're all connected, right?)

More importantly, however, I felt a connection with Mr. Combs and joined his program, Breakthroughs to Success. Part of the program is hosted by Frederic Lehrman, who is a prosperity coach and someone who thinks in a higher dimension than most. I guess the best way for me to describe it is like Monty Python meets 2001: A Space Odyssey and then gives a serious lecture on prosperity. Frederic refers to an obscure book by Carlos Cansteneda, called the Active Side of Infinity ... an exploration of tapping into the "Source" to get things done. In other words, "Let go, and let God."

So, remember how I mentioned my MLMU coach suggested three books? Well, the second book was one I was familiar with. As my CD set is being examined for its feasibility to be offered through an online shopping network, I was watching it to see how other authors/CD vendors did their shows. One Dr. Wayne W. Dyer appeared to promote the Power of Intention. This was something I watched a few days ago and became curious about ordering, and lo and behold, it ended up as #2 on my book list. I purchased it yesterday and was surprised to see Carlos jump out again very early in the book.

I could go on and on, but so many people spend time and energy blaming events on chance. Is this really the case? Or can we become aware of the connections in our lives, and realize it is the universe tapping us on the head shouting, "WAKE UP! HERE IS THE SIGN?"

How about this one ...

I completed a few "challenges" and placed in the former EAS Body-for-LIFE competition (Top 2000, seems like a lot but when you read they claim 750,000 applications were turned in, turns out to be quite an honor indeed). I wrote before how I attended a charity event in Evansville, Indiana, met about 30 complete strangers of whom almost 1/3rd ended up being Top 2000 Finishers. In fact, my most recent clients are a couple from Texas that I met through a Jeffrey Combs event. The woman is a huge fan of Artemis Limpert, a former BFL Champion (year 2000). Oh, wait, the woman herself is ... a Top 2000 Finisher.

Rewinding, however, when I was living in Atlanta, I met a man by the name of Bob Doyle. He interviewed me for Bodychangers.com (twice, in fact). We got really excited about fitness and decided we wanted to leave our day jobs. We first approached the idea of creating a company together, then found we had some different views on how it would function and where we would go (hey, we did hand over a business plan to Porter Freeman ... haven't heard back from Porter, but I don't blame him, I shudder to think of what that business plan looked like). We kept in touch, and he finally left his full time job and started his own company and then I did and I moved. We had lunch and he talked about some of his online strategies, and that was a strong core to what Natural Physiques has become.

So, here I am, back at the Attractor Factor, thumbing through, when who should I see? Bob Doyle, author of Wealth Beyond Reason ... mentioned by Joe for his testimonial and suggested as a resource for manifesting money in the back of the book. There are how many millions of authors and people in this world? Of course, it is all connected.

It's just like what happened with my own network marketing business. I joined a company I had never heard of before by learning about it from someone who lives in Australia and who I met at a seminar in Canada. One of the members of the medical advisory board, Dr. Ray Strand, had a book out that I bought. I took it to my mother and showed it to her, and she flipped it over, looked at the picture, and was amazed ... it turns out that Dr. Ray Strand was her physician. He delivered me when I was born.

When I went to our international seminar, I sought him out and shared my story. We chatted. I would have liked to talk more, but it was a busy event and he was hosting classes, signing books, and sharing his knowledge. So we parted ways. However, the universe apparently knew the conversation wasn't over, so God arranged for us to be seated next to each other on the same flight on our way back home to South Dakota. Convenient, no? It was a completely booked flight and believe it or not, hundreds of people DO fly into South Dakota.

Have you heard of the movie that talks about this strange way energy attracts ... What the Bleep ...? One of the first teleconference calls that I was a guest on, hosted by friend Joe Kasper, who actually visited my site, suggested a friend look at it ... then that friend of Joe's went to a seminar ... that my wife was at, and she was wearing a Natural Physiques shirt, so he said .. WOW I was just at that site, is that really your husband? So he suggested I contact Joe, I ended up on Joe's call, and that first call I listened to before coming on as a guest featured a woman who played a major role in the movie.

Interesting, huh?

I'm going to close this out before it gets any stranger. I imagine at this point you either ...

1. Don't believe a word I am saying, or
2. Trust me but feel these are all explainable coincidences, or
3. Either are starting to really think about synchronicity and the signals in your life and whether you notice coincidences or create them. Perhaps you already live by the power of tapping into this.

What the $#$%#$% do we really know, anyway?

Which one of you reading this deserves to spend a half hour with me each week as I work with you to transform your life? I have a few slots available for my coaching package. This is the cadillac of packages. I have a few people I am working closely with and look forward to share their testimonials, but I know I will be raising my rates soon simply due to the demand. For some reason I feel a stronger responsiveness from my loyal blog readers, so I feel you deserve for me to share that this is the time to get started before the investment goes up.

Okay, now I'm really going to conclude this blog. I am going to put on my nighttime skin care regimen, share tea and listen to some personal development material with my wife, then do 15 minutes of bible study before meditating and going to sleep.

Blessed be,

Jeremy Likness
