Synchronicity, Opportunity and Signs from Above

Clue From Above

It has been a long time since I have written and much has happened in the past month or so. I will do my best to outline a few of the highlights. First of all I had my first platform presentation in Orlando at Bill Walsh’s event Inspiration 2020 which I will speak at again in October in Las Vegas.  This was a great event and thanks to Bill for putting it on and having me there, I shared the stage with a bunch of fascinating people including John Asaraf from The Secret, Ted Thomas, Ron Legrand and  Marco Kozlowski a fascinating real estate expert who we are bringing to Alberta early August be sure you catch Marco at these Inner Circle Mastery Evenings.

For perspective when I got on the plane it was freezing in Calgary and it was BEAUTIFUL in Orlando! At this event I am in the conference from 9 am  – 10 pm each morning passing this beautiful pool and water slide each morning and I gaze longingly at the pool and I promised myself that I would  spend at least some time by the pool.  That said I was so fascinated by the people who were presenting I could not tear myself away from the event.

During this time  meet Roger Salam who runs The Winners Circle TWC and I connected and he was working me (I mean seriously working me, everywhere I turned there he was saying “are you coming to the mastermind?”  it was actually pretty funny) to stay in Florida longer and attend one of his masterminds.  I was totally interested and fascinated as Colin and I spent 2 years running similar groups together, but I was REALLY missing Cory and the kids, so I was torn.  Finally I decide that I will simply take a half hour by the pool, sit in the sun have a nice cold beer and consider what I should do.

So there I sit enjoying the sun my brain literally overflowing from the amazing content of a multitude of speakers, wondering if I should just get my but home or should I stay to experience this mastermind.  It is clear to me that the future of Personal Best is outside of Alberta/Western Canada…it is clear to me that I will take a completely different approach to building the organization than I did in the past, and it is clear to me that there are more opportunities than I would be able to pursue in 10 lifetimes.  As I have these realizations I look up into the sky and there is skywriter just finishing the word “TRUST”.  A huge smile crosses my face and I think what a perfect sign for me at this moment in time.  I go back to drinking my beer, I have a short visit with a couple of fellow attendees by the pool and am content to just “BE” for awhile.  I prepare to leave the pool and make my final decision about staying for the mastermind when I look to the sky and the plane is just finishing the letter “J”!!

The picture above is an untouched sign from above that said “J TRUST” the trust word is starting to get blown around but when it was originally finished is was as clear as the letter J.

Well clearly I listened to the sign and I stayed for The Winners Circle Mastermind which was outstanding and I met some fantastic people. I did tease Roger that hiring a skywriter is going a little far to acquire a new client, but I did appreciate the nudge. I will share my experience of the TWC mastermind in a future entry it too was full of fascinating synchronicity.

My questions for you are:

What are the signs around you that are nudging you?

Are you paying attention to the synchronicity of the universe?

What do the signs actually mean?

What must you take action on today?

Remember:

There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller (1759 – 1805)

Until next time, Jay

Is Wayne Dyer Really a Sex Maniac?

Does This Man Look Like a Sex Maniac to You?

Given that Personal Best is sponsoring the upcoming Wayne Dyer event in Calgary on May 17th 2011, I thought that I would share an embarrassing tidbit from my past, and how Wayne Dyer had huge (if unintended) impact on me, my life and my career.

Imagine me about 1980, 13 years old, fascinated by anything and everything sex. For perspective Oprah had a expert that says that males have an image or thought about sex or sexual stimulation every three seconds. Now I know that many people that that is an exaggeration, however I think for me as a teenage boy it was a gross underestimation…perhaps they just said it wrong, it was supposed to be 3 times a second. Now that is getting closer to the truth, but I digress.

I am 13 years old and in my Mom’s bedroom and and there I see on her bedside table a SEX book! Now I should tell you that my family has always been very open about sex and sexuality and that her leaving a book about sex out was well within the realm of possible.

It’s title was even perfectly clear “Your Erogenous Zones” and it was complete with a picture of a sex maniac who had clearly just been left very satisfied!

Well obviously I HAD to read this book it was going to tell me all I needed to know about the hidden erotic and sexy spots that every 13 year old boy on a mission needed to know.

As open as my family was about sex, I did not feel right asking to borrow the book, so I took to going into my mom’s room while she was at work and reading “Your Erogenous Zones” sitting on the floor hidden by the bed so I could quickly replace the book on her bedside table and get out of her room when I heard her come home.

At the time I considered myself a pretty smart kid, but I must tell you that I was more than a little confused by this book. Where were the sexy parts? What are the locations of the female body that drive them wild? It must be in here…somewhere. So I keep reading and reading and reading and reading. I cannot tell you the number of times I looked at the cover, reread the title and looked into the freshly satisfied sex maniac’s face, each time thinking “well the sex stuff has to be in here somewhere”.

In the entire book I can honestly say I learned nothing about sex. However I did learn quite alot about what motivates me and other people, and it did help me navigate my teen years, my parents divorce and dare I say even helped me get laid ; ) I will be forever grateful to Wayne for planting seeds that germinated and sprouted 5 years later when I took Personal Best Seminars and ultimately influenced my career path, Thank you Wayne!

If only I was as interested in the dictionary when I was 13, I could have simply looked up the word erroneous and saved myself plenty of reading and I could have spent all that time chasing girls!

On a serious note, Wayne has been a thought leader for over 35 years, it is a privilege to be in his presence and hear him speak. Get your tickets at http://www.ticketmaster.ca and save 10% using our code PERSONALBEST

PS: When I talk to him at the VIP session I am going to ask him for some sex tips, he has got to have some, look at that picture!
