You’re in a steel mill. You’ve donned your hard hat, your goggles, your fireproof denim jacket and steel-toed shoes.
200 feet away is a blast furnace. The noise is deafening. Molten steel pours out of a ladle into a giant vat. Every time it does so, a horn sounds warning that lethal 2200 degree liquid pours overhead. Above the raucous din you hear the sound of men shouting and giant otherworldly vehicles rumbling by.
Just then, a woman approaches you. She takes a wine glass out of her pocket and places it on the table in the supervisor’s office. She licks her finger and begins sliding it in a circular motion on the wine glass.
She looks into your eyes as the wine glass begins to sing with that resonating, piercing pure tone.
Even in 110 decibels of noise, *everyone* can hear that delicate, unadulterated note.
That, my friend, is the power of resonance. Unfocused noise, no matter how loud, is no match for a pure tone.
Everything resonates. Everything vibrates. Everything has a natural frequency. Everything.
The human heart is no exception. When you match its frequency, all attention turns to you. The soul is summoned and the mind focuses. Your message, your story, your call to action. All else is irrelevant.
It may be that the #1 thing standing between you and more influence, more reach, more power over your prospects is simply that you’re missing a few vital frequencies. They already exist, they’re yearning to be activated; you’re just ignoring them.
You can pierce that noise with not one but two or even three completely different wine glasses, with completely different tones. You get twice the attention for the same money.
I’m broadcasting a conference call on this twice today. With extremely specific instructions on how to match that resonance. Along with three other guests. You can register at

Match the natural frequency of your audience. Watch as all eyes turn to you.

Everybody has a different frequency and finding that frequency is the key to success…you have to find it and adjust to it.
Thanks so much!

I appreciate the story and the moral of the story. Keeping in harmony with the energy around you is a concept I learned in aikido, and still resonates with me today.
The challenge is remaining there in business, life, family etc.
Thanks again.
