Is It Really Just A Coincidence?
By Jim Francis

Many see coincidences as embedded in a higher, transcendental force, a cosmic “glue,” as it were, which binds random events together in a meaningful and coherent pattern. The question has always been: could such a harmonizing principle actually exist?

Or are skeptics right in regarding this as a product of wishful thinking, a consoling myth spawned by the intellectual discomfort and capriciousness of chance?

Mathematician Warren Weaver, in his book, Lady Luck: The Theory of Probability, recounts a fascinating tale of coincidence that stretches our traditional notions of chance to their breaking point.

The story originally appeared in Life magazine. Weaver writes:

All fifteen members of a church choir in Beatrice, Nebraska, due at practice at 7:20, were late on the evening of March 1, 1950.

• The minister and his wife and daughter had one reason (his wife delayed to iron the daughter’s dress);
• one girl waited to finish a geometry problem;
  one couldn’t start her car;
• two lingered to hear the end of an especially exciting radio program;
• one mother and daughter were late because the mother had to call the daughter twice to wake her from a nap;
• and so on.

The reasons seemed rather ordinary. But there were ten separate and quite unconnected reasons for the lateness of the fifteen persons. It was rather fortunate that none of the fifteen arrived on time at 7:20, for at 7:25 the church building was destroyed in an explosion.

The members of the choir, Life reported, wondered if their delay was “an act of God.” Weaver calculates the staggering odds against chance for this uncanny event as about one chance in a million.

Coincidences such as these, some say, are almost too purposeful, too orderly, to be a product of random chance, which strains somewhat to accommodate them. But then how do we explain them?

Another definition for SYNCHRONICITY

Synchronicity at this point can be defined as a series of seemingly unrelated events which are connected via a hidden agenda.

The recent publication of the SUPERSTRING theory indicates that there may well be ten dimensions in existence, not merely the four that ones senses are currently aware of. (Length, breadth, width, time)

There is now considerable mathematical proof to indicate that ten dimensions exist. And most quantum physicists have given serious consideration to this theory. It would appear that the “hidden agenda” of synchronistic events may be transparent and obvious in one or more of these ten dimensions, but become opaque and difficult to fathom when viewed in our current restricted four dimensions.

And there is now at last a small amount of evidence to indicate that when an individuals subconscious mind-set is modified to encourage positive PK synchronistic events (luck) then synchronistic elements may be set into play which materialistic as PK Luck events in our “real time” dimension.

And conversely when a person becomes aware of a series of synchronistic events they can use this special knowledge to trigger a burst of luck.

What has been definitely proven however is that the mind-set of an individual influences their interaction with the environment, to an extent which can leave a person “stunned” at the positive results.

What I have discovered over the past 4 years is that if I call up a dream program to “induce” synchronistic events in my waking life ….then instruct my mind to consciously recognize these events as a synchronistic train….I can usually recognize where they are leading to and be there at the right time and place to take advantage of them.

I have personally had at least a dozen of these recognizable synchronicity trains in the past 3 years and each one has bought me sometimes quite incredible luck. So much so that friends here in Vanuatu keep telling me how lucky I am!!

I suggest you read this and NOT do what I did!  I hope you enjoy it and if you have not yet checked out the Warrior Forum best make that your next stop.

“A MILLIONAIRES SECRET”

Washington DC was nasty as could be. As I sat on the bench waiting for my bus to arrive I couldn’t wait to get back to the backwoods of Louisiana. I had almost sat in a pool of blood that was on the far end of the bench and I was ready to go. I truly hope people coming to visit our country don’t make DC one of their stops.

Anyway, before my bus arrived I was approached by a nicely dressed elderly gentleman in need of directions. I told him I had no idea what he was looking for as I too was just passing through. To this day I’m not sure why, but we started talking as if we had known each other for years.

We talked about life, people and eventually the conversation turned to business. It was here that the gentlemen saw something in me, I suppose, that made him feel like sharing what he said was the greatest secret ever told. He said everyone had heard it but almost no one paid any attention to it, even though it was the one thing that could bestow a fortune upon any man or woman who used it.

My ears where definitely starting to perk up. Something about his tone told me this man knew from whereof he spoke. And I wanted to know what the secret was with a passion. He must have sensed my anxiousness because at that very moment he gave me a warning that was almost a scolding.

I’ll try to recount here as best I can the rest of our conversation…

Man: “Do not make the mistake of shrugging off what I am about to tell you because you have heard it before.
No doubt you have heard it already from at least one person in your life. You may have even heard it many times.
Do you have any aversion to religion Mr. Says?”

Me: “No I don’t. I don’t believe many preachers know what they are talking about or even what they are trying to teach, but I do know the Bible has a lot of great knowledge in it.”

Man: “Good. I would not want you to discount what I am about to tell you because it does come directly from the Bible. But its applications reach far beyond what most people can conceive of. It will take thought, intense pondering on your part, to begin to get some inkling of its power.”

“This simple secret, when applied to business, will draw money to you as easily as water runs down a mountain. Even a fool can apply it and prosper. When applied to relationships, it will create more friends than you can handle” (laughing heartily)

Me: “What is it, I’m dying to know now?”

Man: “Patience Mr. Says, Patience. I will not give it to you as it has always been repeated by fools who have no respect or knowledge of what it even means.
No. I will give it to you another way.”
“What type of business are you interested in?”

Me: “Well, I’m dabbling in Mail Order right now. I would like to place ads and sell books.”

Man: “Fine. Fine. Mail Order it is. Let me tell you how to create a fortune in this Mail Order. All you have to do is create the product you want to buy”

Me: “I don’t understand”

Man: “You will”

“You see, you are your market. Whatever you want, there are millions of other people wanting the same thing. That elusive product you are looking for is the product millions of others are also looking for right now.”

“All you have to do is create the product you want to buy, the product you yourself have been looking for. Once you have this product, what would you want the sales message to say so that you know this is the product you have been looking for?”

“If someone else where selling this product, what would you want the ad to say, what would get you to buy this product?. When you have that answer, that is the ad you want to create.”

Me: “I see” (hesitantly)

Man: “See the business across the street here? Pizza. I could triple the business that place does inside of 10 minutes. That’s what I do by the way” (smiling)

“All I would do is walk into the business as a customer. I would sit there and imagine all the things that could be done to me that would make me a loyal customer to that business for life.
What could they do for me that would make me feel this way?”

“Once I had the answers to that question, I would implement them across the board. Every customer would be treated the way I had imagined. And without any doubt what so ever that business would triple the profits it now makes.”

Me: “I think I know…”

Man: “Wait, you don’t really know anything yet. That’s the problem with people. They brush something off because of where it came from or because they heard it many times. Leave that for fools.
You won’t “know it” until you have deeply pondered it and put it to use.”

Me: “Ok”

Man: “What I am telling you has power undreamed of. The simple words used to describe it cannot contain it.
Does not do justice to it, and has been prostituted by blabber mouths who let wisdom fall off their lips with not even a single brain cell grasping what they are rambling about.”

“What I am telling you is Law, not man’s Law, but the very Law’s of nature herself. It’s the way things work and those who truly understand it rise to the top in every field known to man.”

“What people don’t understand is that it applies to everything. This secret can be applied with virtually every step you take, everything you do, every word you speak and everyone concerned profits by it.”

• “If you are a writer, write like you would like to be written to”
• “If you are a salesman, sell like you would like to be sold to”
• “If you are a speaker, speak like you would like to be spoken to”
• “If you want more love, then love like you would like to be loved”
• “If you want more friends, be the friend you would like to see”

“When you infuse everything you do with this secret it takes on a magical power.
Businesses dominate the market, books become best sellers, leaders attract huge and loyal followings.”
“How would you like it?”
“How would you respond to it?”
“How would it make you feel?”

“Those are great questions to think about every time you do or create something. You will get into the hearts and minds of everyone who comes under your influence if you will first think how you would have it done to you.”

“I’m certain you already know the quote from the Bible I’m referring to. But don’t repeat it, just ponder it and pratice it.”

Me: “I do. But I’ve never thought of how it could actually apply to everything in life. I too was one of those fools who passed it over without so much as a second thought.
I really want to thank you for sharing this with me.”

Man: “It’s been a real pleasure talking with you Mr. Says, have a safe journey home.”

And with that, he was gone. The funny thing was, as I was riding home on the bus I realized I never got his name, nor do I remember ever giving him mine.
Maybe he saw my luggage tag. I’m not sure. It really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I’ve profited from that advice for the last 15 years.

I’m not even really any good at it either and I’ve still pulled in huge amounts of money. Especially from the Internet. This is one place this knowledge can really shine.
People have always asked me my secret. How come the Warriors is still here, with the same products, with all this competition, after all these years?

This one simple secret is the answer. I always ask myself:

• How would I like to be treated by this company?
• What would I like to see?
• What would I like to get?
• How would I like to be dealt with?

Those simple questions are all you have to answer. When you do get the answers, put them into action and watch what happens.

I just bet that every retailer, wholesaler, vendor or merchant is probably wondering
about this question.  With the state of the economy everyone is watching sales drop
and many products are on shelves and websites not moving at all.

Consumers are being wary of where and what they are spending their dollars on not
sure of what tomorrow will bring.  Napolean Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich” began
his rise to millions in the depression of the early 30′s, selling information, newspapers!

Today’s post is by Willie Crawford, a noted Internet Marketer, and shares some of his
experience with the downturned economy.

Hope you enjoy it and be sure to leave your comments at the end.

What Products Still Sell During This Recession?

Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford
In a recent Twitter discussion on products I sell, I was asked,
“but what if none of your products sell?”
The real question that I was being asked there was,
“What products still sell now?”

Regardless of economic conditions, some products will
always sell.
In fact, many millionaires are made during every major
recession or depression. It’s just a matter of figuring out
what your market wants and offering it to them.

I have noticed a downturn in sales of many of the products
that I market, but have also noticed an increase in sales of
some of my products.

In the “Internet marketing niche” where I often operate,I’ve
noticed that many customers have tightened their belts,and that
lower priced items are the only ones moving really briskly for me. So,
I’ve offered a lot more inexpensive items, using my standard marketing
methods such as:
a) article marketing,
b) video marketing,
c) marketing via social media, blogging, and using
ezine editorials.
Those items are selling well. I do still manage to sell
a good number of big ticket items, but here is the key:

“... The items that sell best are the items that address a

real PAIN that my market is already aware of.”

If they are not already aware of the pain, and already looking
for the solution, it’s a harder job selling many products
(solutions) under any economic conditions.
Having to educate your customer as to the fact that:
1) they have a problem,
2) you have the solution,
3) what your product does and why it’s the ideal solution,
is an uphill battle.

When you think of real pain, think of the teenagers battling
acne, as they are in their prime dating years. They will do
almost ANYTHING to keep those pimples at bay.
Transfer that concept to my niche of Internet marketing,
and what are some of the obviously painful problems.

Several that immediately come to mind are:
- Lack of sufficient website traffic
- Lack of enough motivated joint venture partners to do a
large product launch
- Lack of enough time to do everything required to operate
an Internet business
- Locating products that actually sell
- Writing effective web copy
- Motivating and training affiliates
- Choosing a profitable niche
- one where customers are still making lots of purchases

If you frequent my blog, you’ll notice that I address many
of these issues in my
blog posts, and in the products that I review/offer. That’s
because I instinctively
notice these problems and seek out solutions.

That is why I am still making lots of sales despite this recession.
To give you a few more specific examples:

1) I address the topic of choosing a niche that’s still profitableby pointing out
that the market of teaching ecommerce to, and consulting with offline businesses, is HUGE.

Offline businesses have marketing budgets, and if you show them that
you can deliver measurable results,they will spend their dollars with you. I market
products that teach Internet marketers how to conduct 1-day seminars in their cities,
and earn $10,000 or more in a day by teaching ecommerce to local offline businesses.

You can see the package that I offer, one that sells well at:
http://TeachingEcommerceToLocalBusinesses.com

2) Many Internet marketers now realize that a membership
site is the perfect model for setting up some residual income.
Yet, many of them are intimidated by the software and
processes needed to run these sites.

So, I market an easy-to-install, and very inexpensive script for running
membership sites. I also give away a report on how to run a profitable
membership site.
This script sells like hotcakes!

I even generously include master resale rights with the script package,
all for less than $20.
This is an absolutely irresistible deal, and so my Paypal account is
constantly “singing”
You can check out that set-up at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/SMS/

3) To address the problem of motivating and training
affiliates, I do two things.
First, I offer a free course that trains struggling
affiliate marketers. This course is the entry
into my funnel where, as I train affiliate marketers, I also
recruit some of them as affiliates
for my products. That is a win-win proposition. I actually
share tactics and techniques that
have worked amazingly well for me in selling affiliate
products in my free course. The affiliates
that I teach this to begin to experience more success, and
delivering tremendous value first
turns many of them into my loyal affiliates. You can see how
I offer my free affiliate training at:

http://WillieCrawford.com/FreeAffiliateTraining/

While many people struggle to grow their lists, and to
recruit new affiliates, I average 200 new signups a DAY. By
the way, if you’d like to set up a similar system,you can
begin with the
“affiliate training program in a box” at:
http://WillieCrawford.com/TrainYourAffiliates/

Notice that I just addressed another problem. Many new
product owners, who have never run an affiliate program
before, don’t have the time or energy to put together an
affiliate training program.
Yet, if they don’t train their affiliates, they will make
very few sales. Most new affiliates simply don’t know HOW
to make sales. I addressed that painful and obvious problem
by offering an affiliate training program in a box. All they
need to do is upload it to their autoresponders, and upload
a few videos (supplemental training) to their servers, and
they are all set.

Getting back to the question of what still sells.

You absolutely must sell something the market wants and is already looking for.

You must sell something that solves an obvious and very painful problem.

Do that, and you WILL continue to make brisk sales regardless of economic conditions.
