The other day my Subliminal Manifestation partner Mark Ryan and my Inspired Marketing coauthor Craig Perrine got to experience the exhilaration of a ride in Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)’s rare 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster, which I now own and call Ladybug.
They also got to drive the car.
They were like little kids experiencing their first roller coaster thrill ride.
But the really interesting experience took place after we were done driving and drooling and stood around the car, admiring her.
Craig noticed that a ladybug landed on the car.
When I first received the car a few months ago, and wondered what to name it, a ladybug landed on it.
I rarely see ladybugs here in Texas. I’m sure they’re here; I just don’t look for them. Seeing one land on Steven Tyler’s car seemed telling. So I named the Roadster “Ladybug” right then and there.
Craig and Mark took turns trying to take a clear picture of the bug on my Ladybug. (That’s Craig above.) They both knew it would be great blog material. 🙂
Synchronicities like these are how I learn I’m on the right path. They are green flags.
Whenever I have a decision to make, I look for signs that I’m making the right one. “Right” meaning appropriate for me, not necessarily for you or anyone else.
I’ve written about signs and green/red flags before, of course. In The Attractor Factor I told the story of seeing a street sign that helped me decide what to do when I worked at a job I disliked.
The road sign was “Quitman.”
My mind read it as a command: “Quit man” as in “Quit the job, man!”
Here’s an example from today:
I heard comedian Steve Martin just published a new book, his autobiography, titled Born Standing Up. I like Martin and was curious about the book, but I didn’t run out and buy it.
But then I saw a review of it in a magic magazine.
And then another review in another magazine.
And then someone sent me an Amazon gift certificate.
I bought the book, and something curious happened.
Amazon sent it to me overnight – and they sent two copies.
I guess I’m supposed to read it twice.
Turns out the book is riveting. It shows how much hard work goes into creating an “overnight” success.
But that’s not the point of this blog post.
The point is to watch for the “ladybugs” in your life.
Try this: When you are considering getting a gift for someone for the holiday next week, see if there are signs that resonate with you suggesting what to get or affirming a choice you already made.
This is a fun way to enjoy each moment, as the signs remind you that you are one with all there is.
Enjoy.

PS – If you celebrate Christmas, please have a merry one. And if you don’t, please have a merry one anyway.
Note: I have no idea what kind of ladybug landed on my car. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species and more than 450 native to North America alone. Who knows what kind Texas has. So don’t ask. 🙂
With the New Year rapidly approaching, you may be thinking what is the best way to get in shape?
I’m going to let you in on a little secret.
My trainer, Scott York, wants your body.
Scott has the ability to train you “online” using a state of the art training system.
It’s affordable; it’s convenient.
You’ll get more energy, build muscle, lose fat and become more productive in your business.
Don’t have equipment?
No problem.
Scott can design fat-burning programs for you to do at home, or even while you travel, with little to no equipment.
For over a year I have been using Scott’s program. Every evening he emails my workout to me.
It’s easy to follow because a little figure in the email comes to life and demonstrates exactly how to do the exercise.
All I do next is get up in the morning and just do it.
And if I have any questions, I simply send an email to Scott. He replies by email and I’m all set to keep rocking and rolling toward my fitness goals.
I still meet with Scott once a week in my gym, but because I travel so much, often weeks go by with me doing nothing but the workouts he sends me by email.
So this is truly coaching-by-email.
Scott can only accept a handful of clients into this program, because of the personal service he gives.
Email Scott at [email protected] for more info and to see a free demo of this state of the art online training program.
Go for it!

When I was in Maui a few weeks ago, Steve Freid interviewed me for his televison show, Life on Maui. He just posted it in five parts on youtube. You can see the first part by clicking on the below image or by going to www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=569D0714CFBEFF0D where you will find all five segments. Enjoy.
What did I do right after seeing Tony Robbins speak in Chicago a few months ago?
