How to increase Synchronicities in your life!

This is a rich & lengthy subject, but I've highlighted some key points below, & will be sharing more with you in future series' :)


1. Raise your Vibration! The higher your vibration, the more likely you are to experience synchronicities and ride the loving current of universal flow, receiving magical blessings as you go!

How do you raise your vibration? There are numerous ways to do so on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, which I'll be sharing more about in future issues.

For the purposes of this article, I'll nutshell some examples...

Love is the highest vibration in the universe; hence love for yourself, others and your world will ALWAYS raise your vibration. And gratitude can help open your heart to more of that love.

I cover 10 ways to raise your vibration in the Vibrational Manifesting Guide section of my Miracle Mind Manifesting Program.

Essentially, the happier and more love-filled you are, the more aligned you are with your true nature and Source, and the more open a receptor you are to synchronicities and blessings and receiving in general, which is key!

One powerful way to raise your vibration is to work energetically to anchor in high pure universal energies of love and light.

I guide you through a process for doing this in my ‘Earth Light' meditation (that also comes with the Intuition Zone Program), which grounds love and light frequencies through your being.

2. Another way to increase synchronicities in your life is to believe in them more, and keep your eye out for them!

Understanding the illusory nature of reality, that everything is energy, can open you more to everyday magic!

You are a spiritual being having a physical experience. Reality is not the solid world you believe it to be. Magic and miracles are WAY possible! Energy is malleable. Reality is a trick of the light.

There is love, insights and wonders that want to be gifted to you from higher realms if you open and allow, and start to take of the blindfolds of consensus thinking that can limit the WONDER and MAGIC of each moment!

3. Know you loved totally and unconditionally by the source of creation, whatever name you hold for that. Know that this loving infinitely intelligent source wants the very best for you in every moment! You are the only one that can stand in your way, and the limiting beliefs, thoughts and feelings you hold that can block the love and success you desire and deserve.

You are loved more than you will ever know!

And you deserve whether you believe it or not, so BELIEVE IT!

Know that you worthy of all good things, and open to receive! :)

Some of the main core limiting self-beliefs that we hold are covered in the Belief Buster Kit, along with how to clear them of course, including the Belief Buster Meditation that rids them at a subconscious level.

4. Set goals. Ask for what you want. Write out a wish list. Affirm your intentions. Say your desires out loud or silently in your mind before sleep and/or on waking. In whatever way you like, affirm your desires to yourself and the universe.

The Vision Sheets section of the Miracle Mind Manifesting Program contains a procedure for setting goals aligned to your heart's desires.

When you set goals and specify desired outcomes, and visualize these, stepping into the shoes of that future you (which you can do with the Manifesting Blueprint meditation as part of the Miracle Mind Manifesting Program at this link), you set the ball in motion and the universe will start arranging things for your benefit! :)

You create your reality – do your bit with the power of your heart and mind by visualizing your dreams regularly, clearing limiting beliefs that stand in the way, and feeling the outcomes richly and tangibly ahead of time to call them into existence in the present.

5. Have FUN! Fun throws of the shackles of denser energy and negative states, elevating you to higher happy realms where flow and synchronicities abound!

Fun attracts positivity like iron filings to a magnet. It is the antidote to stress, struggle, tediousness and seriousness. When you are having fun you are open and sharing of who you are and ride on the current of spontaneity and joy. What brings you fun, happiness and joy? Commit to more of it in all areas of your life.

6. Start awakening to and decoding the ‘magical messages ' present in your everyday life!

I cover this in the Decoding Inner and Outer Reality section of my Intuition Zone program at: www.intuitionzone.com

It includes lots of examples, and a looks at the various ‘message platforms' in day-to-day life, as well as specific examples of signs and metaphors, and what to look out for.

Just as night dreams are rich in symbolic meaning, so is your waking reality!

It is essentially an illusion, a sea of vibrating energy that appears very solid, but is not at all!

When you understand the nature of reality at a deeper level, you realize it can be a vehicle through which you can receive insights, nudges and opportunities.

Awakening to this can be magical, illuminating, and transformational, especially when you become more adept at decoding these messages!

Become a detective of your outer reality! Unveil and unravel its secrets!

I LOVE listening to the ‘whispers' and decoding the hidden meanings and messages inherent in the situations, people and circumstances I attract.

Even the title of a book someone's reading next to you on a plane, email subject lines, overheard snippets of conversation, a song that comes on the radio, advertising headlines, a flyer that crosses your path etc., can all hold relevance.

Life is not just some random set of experiences separate from you.

As quantum physics now proves, you and your world are inextricably linked!

Understanding the communications in your world is not only fascinating and illuminating, but for me has been totally LIFE-CHANGING!

The insights and messages I've received with an intuitive path have led to the manifestation of success, abundance, and living the life of my dreams.

I have had countless magic moments and wondrous synchronicities and opportunities by opening my eyes and mind to the metaphoric nature of reality and the gifts and guidance there-in, which I explore fully in the Intuition Zone.

Decoding reality is what makes life so magical to me, and an exciting journey of investigation and discovery!

Engaging this new dimension of guidance will enable you to take your manifestation to the next level and CATAPULT the Law of Attraction to new domains, because it will help guide you rapidly to what's in your highest; to brightest futures and dreams-come-true!

11 Things That Annoy Decision Makers

Selling in today’s highly competitive business world requires more effort and energy than ever. However, there are certain things that can work against you, especially when you sell in a B2B environment.

Sales people do a variety of things that annoy decision makers and prospects and prevent them from moving the sales process forward.

Here are a few things that irk decision makers.

1. Sales people who can’t articulate their value proposition. Far too few sales people can adequately and clearly state the value that their product(s) or service offers. Forget what your marketing department tells you to say. Instead, speak in terms that matter to your prospect and help them see—within 15-30 seconds—how your product, service or solution will benefit them.

2. Sales people who call to “touch base” or “check in.” Decision makers are far too busy to talk to people who don’t have a genuine or valuable offer to consider. “Checking in” is no longer a viable sales strategy. You need to ensure that you are providing some type of value in EVERY interaction you have with a prospect or existing customer.

3. Sales people that go overtime during sales calls and presentations. Most decision makers spend the bulk of their day in meetings and have little tolerance for sales calls that go into overtime. Respect your prospect’s time and strive to finish every meeting early or ahead of schedule.

4. Sales people who misrepresent themselves to executive assistants in order to get connected with the decision maker. It boggles my mind that people actually believe this strategy will help them close a deal! Yet, it happens every day. A better approach is to befriend the EA and enlist her help.

5. Sales people that ask basic questions that could be answered by a subordinate or a quick browse through the prospect’s website. I made this mistake a number of years when talking to the President of a mid-sized business. Instead of asking high-value questions that were strategic in nature I focused on details that could easily have been answered by a Regional Manager—which, not surprisingly, is where I ended up getting shunted to.

6. Sales people that deliver a canned pitch, presentation or proposal. I still can’t believe how many reps launch into a canned pitch instead of adapting and tailoring their presentation to each prospect’s situation. Of course, this is usually a result of doing little or no research prior to the meeting.

7. Sales people who leave a long and rambling voice mail message with little or no value. “Hi Mr. Prospect, it’s Derek with No Claim Insurance. We specialize in helping businesses like yours reduce their insurance premiums. We have been doing this since 1978 and our client list includes companies like…” You get the idea. A VM with little or no value will be deleted within seconds.

8. Sales people who claim their solution is “easy” to implement. Nothing in business is easy anymore and pretending otherwise just reduces your credibility. It is far more effective to tell people up front what will be required and follow that up with exactly how you will help them integrate your solution into their business.

9. Sales people that use outdated closing tactics. “Would you prefer red or black?” “If I could show you how my product will save you time will you buy it?” I shudder every time I hear someone use a tactic that was developed in the mid-late 1990s. Times have changed. Prospects and decision makers are smarter, wiser and using tired, manipulative closing tactics only alienates them.

10. Sales people that waste time trying to “build rapport”. “Hey, I see you fish; I fish too. Where do you like to fish?” Gaaaaag! Do you REALLY think a busy decision maker wants to talk about his fishing excursions?

Although it’s possible, it’s more likely he (or she) wants you to get to the point of the meeting and the reason for your call. True rapport happens when you demonstrate that you respect their time, understand their business issues AND can offer a solution to those problems.

11. Sales people who misrepresent their offering. If you took everything some people said at face value, their product could cure all of life’s miseries and every problem a business faces. But we know that isn’t reality. Unfortunately, many sales people still feel compelled to overstate the capabilities of their solution in an effort to capture the deal.

Hopefully, you aren’t guilty of irking your prospects with these. Once you instigate the irk factor, it becomes much more difficult to move the sales process forward.

6 Low-Cost Marketing Strategies

Small businesses must be extra imaginative with their marketing efforts in order to attract customers and get them to open their wallets. Even more challenging is that most entrepreneurs have shallow pockets and shoppers are being more selective as a result of the sluggish economy and volatile stock market. The following are six proven low-cost marketing ideas that help small businesses increase sales and generate referrals, ultimately helping you build your cash cow, while spending very little

Get Out and Walk
Next time you walk down a street with high foot-traffic, pay attention to storefront windows underutilized. Approach the store owner and offer to pay a small fee to advertise your business in their window. Imagine, you pay $50 per month for a location that costs someone else $2500 a month in rent. This idea also works in reverse. If you’re the store owner with great window visibility, approach other entrepreneurs and offer them an affordable advertising opportunity.

Special Deal Today Only
The next time business is slow, try sending out an email to your prospect list that reads, "Please call me. I have a special deal I can offer you if you call me today. You'll be glad you did! (978) 000-0000. Thanks, Sharron." This method really works. Prospects call because of the urgency you create using such a short deadline and to make sure they don’t miss out on a worthy opportunity. Be careful. You’ll lose credibility with your prospects if your offer isn’t aggressive enough, i.e., 10% off won’t cut it!

Under Your Nose
Are your vendors doing business with you? Why not? Here’s a short list of the prospects you should contact within 48 hours of reading this article, your: accountant, attorney, plumber, electrician, daycare provider, housekeeper, greens keeper, mechanic, realtor, friends, family, minister/priest/rabbi, etc., dentist, physician, gynecologist, nail technician, hairdresser, Mary Kay Consultant, marriage counselor, coach, personal trainer, financial advisor, etc. If you and your vendor are not a match, he or she probably knows someone who should be doing business with you. All you have to do is ask your vendor to provide some word-of-mouth about you. At minimum, ask to display your business cards and flyers at their office, or to mention your business in their customer newsletter. Take a moment and make sure people in your immediate circle understand what you’re selling.

Customers on the Fence
Before you send off your next proposal, call your prospect and tell her the proposal she requested is ready. Tell her you'd like to forward the proposal, but before you do, ask her what time tomorrow would be convenient to discuss the proposal. Remember, always set up your next appointment before releasing any information.

Charge at Least Five Bucks
Always charge a fee for all your event marketing efforts. Fee-paid seminars and workshops almost always generate more participants than free events. The fee does two things. First, when you charge for something, there’s an implied "value" built in. Your prospect will believe they "get more" when they pay, versus not paying. Second, when a prospect pays you, they’re showing a commitment and are now a more qualified prospect and more likely to show up. Don’t just take my word for it; test it. It’s true.

Stimulate Customer Senses
Do you think the smell of fresh baking bread flowing throughout the grocery store or music playing is by chance? Absolutely not. Retail businesses have been going out of their way for years to stimulate shoppers and keep them browsing. Stimulating the senses works outside of bricks and mortars too. For example, let’s say you're a business development expert and you're getting ready to mail your quarterly newsletter on white stock. Instead, try a red or pink-hued paper. Or, if you’d prefer to remain conservative, use a white textured stock. Another example: There's nothing worse than the smell of a disinfectant used in a doctor's office. Try burning vanilla candles in the waiting room, they’ll help sooth your customers while they wait. If your business is notorious for long waiting room times, fresh baked cookies work well.

Remember, the more comfortable we keep our customers, the longer they’ll stay, the more memorable experience they’ll have and the more they’ll spend, or pass on positive word-of-mouth. When you’re planning your next marketing activity, remember to stimulate your customers’ senses, including eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Tips to Overcome Brain Fog

Everyone experiences brain fog at some point in their life. It is often expressed by an inability to focus or perhaps confusion and forgetfulness over what you are supposed to be concentrating on. Some people will find themselves staring off at the wall with a completely blank mind while others experience racing thoughts and a brain that can't seem to calm down or stabilize. If you are dealing with this too frequently, the following tips will help you overcome the foggy brain that can be so disruptive to daily life.

The environment around you can determine whether you get brain fog or avoid it altogether. For instance, a cluttered environment is more likely to bring on the fog while a clean and well organized space can prevent it from developing by helping you stay focused.

Sugar is another thing that contributes to brain fog. If you ate birthday cake on an empty stomach and then tried to go work a complicated mathematics problem you would understand exactly why sugar is never a good idea. It is a main contributor to a fogged brain.

Just going out for walks could be the best thing you ever do for your brain. When you get out in the fresh air and just move your body you contribute to a clear, focused mind that functions better. Just watch and science will be backing this up at some point. I just know it!

You can also improve your mental functioning and focus by making sure that your get adequate sleep. This means getting enough hours each night as well as making sure those hours are high quality. Every person has a different need for sleep, but make sure to get at least four or five hours. Beyond that amount of sleep, the quality of the sleep is more important than quantity.

Finally, try to avoid tasks that bore you to tears as they will quickly zap your focus. If something boring has to be done remind yourself why it is important and keep going as best you can.

Ridding Yourself of Brain Fog Forever

Stress is a big factor in relieving brain fog because it causes excessive worry and displaces mental focus from the work at hand to the problems in your mind. You can try taking very deep breaths, inhaling through the nose and blowing out slowly through the mouth. Try to hold the breath for a moment before releasing, focusing on releasing tension from your body and mind prior to blowing out.

In many cases that won't work and you can apply a different strategy to relieving brain fog: meditating on your thoughts. Close your eyes, sit back and relax. Now simply focus on the thoughts going through your mind, paying attention to negative thoughts that may be ruining your ability to focus and think positive.


Once you identify what is causing your concern and distracting your mind, it's time to remedy the problem so you can get it out of your mind. If there is something that you can do on the spot to remedy the concern, do it. If not, make a plan to solve the problem soon or simply remind yourself that there is nothing you can do about it right now. If there is nothing to be done now, why worry about it now?

Brain fog is not a natural mental occurrence. It is caused by distracting thoughts or factors in our surrounding environments. If you take the time to determine what the distraction is and find a cure, then your mind will naturally be able to focus again!
