Several days ago, I received a call from a friend of mine stating I needed to contact him immediately. He was in Las Vegas and was meeting with one of his associates. The associate told him that he had gone to a concert at the Foundation Room and had the opportunity to meet the featured artist Sarah Thiele. The associate and his wife developed a relationship with Sarah. Their conversations centered on the discussion of the power of music and how it’s related to synchronicity. Sarah decided to send him copy of a book, titled Focused Synergy. A few weeks later, the associate met up with my friend and shared his story along with the discussions he had with Sarah. He told him that Sarah sent him a book called Focused Synergy that related music to everyday living. My friend asked him if the author was Robert Van Arlen and his response was yes it is. The call I received once again confirms that there are zero degrees of separation, when you are aware of what’s going on around you.

Each year I develop a list for my clients based not just on my recommendations but from others. I appreciate your help and will be posting the list. Thanks in advance and send your recommendations to me personally at robert@robertvanarlen.com.
New Year, New Goals
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I love the New Year 
because it’s like renewal and gives us the opportunity to establish calendar year goals. I started setting mine last year and I heard something new that I’m going to try this year. The concept centers on a new way of manifesting your goals. Yes, you should have a vision board because it’s important for you to see your goals daily and during the day. But this concept goes to another level where you develop a network of like-minded people or friends that you can talk to about your goals as if you’ve already achieved them. For example, if your goal is purchase a new car, you might say to someone in your network that you are going to drive over in your new car. It sounds pretty simple, but the mind is an interesting thing and has the power to supercharge you into way you want to live. Don’t be afraid to set goals that are big and audacious. If you do, you have the opportunity to achieve them, but if you don’t, guess what…you’ll never have that satisfaction!
