Happy New Year, everyone! I realize it has been a long time since I’ve written a blog post. The main reason? I’ve been busy. I know, I know; everyone is busy. What’s my excuse? In short, I have been working with an online educational platform called Edusity to bring my school program online. As some of you may know, I had created a school program back in 2009 which taught communications, leadership and social skills. It evolved over the years and had several names. Its final iteration is called CLASS (An acronym for communications, leadership and social skills).
For years, I regularly commuted by plane down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, where my program was sponsored by the Miami Marlins, Bank of America and the Broward Educational Foundation. Because it was in multiple schools within Broward County, I decided I needed to video record the lessons. I obviously could not do them in person, as there were too many classes. It was at that time I discussed with my friend and business partner, Chris, that the future of the program was not in schools, but rather online for everyone.
Long story short, that was 2018. Little did we know that the events of the world actually played into our favor, business-wise. I am referring to the explosion in online learning, along with an enormous increase in homeschooling. Now, young people (or adults, too) world-wide can have access to CLASS. I’ve always said CLASS teaches you what schools rarely do anymore. It teaches how to speak well, build self-confidence, think critically, learn how your mind works and how to control it, as well as social skills (aka Manners). The program requires no specific background, no degree, no high IQ. I consider it the most comprehensive self-improvement course because it teaches all three of the skills necessary for success in your life and career.
Anyway, I don’t want for you to think this is a commercial for the program. Frankly, Edusity will be handling all of the marketing; freeing me up to keep making improvements. The actual reason I am telling you this is because of how it all came together. I know we have all heard about the Law of Attraction and how we attract to ourselves the embodiment of our desires. Well, this is a case of just that. As I look back over the past several years, along with everything that has happened, along with the manner in which it did, I can see this Universal Principle clearly at work.
But there is far more than just wishing for something. Instead, I can attest that the Universe (Or God, Source, whichever you call it), gives you everything you need, when you need it. The manner in which things aligned, when seen through hindsight, is extraordinary. Actually, it is miraculous. And it all started with a thought. A thought which resulted from the experience I was having. I had the thought to bring this course online. To do so, the very first thing we needed to do was learn online marketing (Again, I’m keeping this brief). Out of nowhere, an opportunity arose for my business partner (who actually lives in Miami, btw) in which he got to work side by side with someone who was already extremely successful in that industry.
Over the ensuing years, he not only learned the business, but he has also become one of the most successful in the industry. But as Covid changed education, it became apparent that my program was going to come online at a time when students have become used to online learning (I am not debating whether remote learning is good or bad, just that it is a thing). In addition, homeschooling exploded and has practically doubled since 2016. I knew my target markets and now, thankfully, money to promote and create it was no object.
I created the first version of the program, and we test marketed the communications portion to see how it would sell. It didn’t. Granted there was an issue. The people my partner hired to work with me and market the program has no experience in marketing educational courses. So back to the drawing board? Now here was the issue. Chris became so busy managing a multi-million dollar business that my little program seemed insignificant. Luckily, he didn’t think so, and I meditated at great length at what to do?
It is important to point out that this is usually the point when people give up or get angry thinking that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work. You know, because we always think we know how it’s going to manifest your goal. Well, low and behold, I signed onto Linkedin for the first time in months. I had plenty of connection requests to go through, as well as messages. 99% of the time, the messages are from people trying to sell you on their product or services. But one of them was not. It was from someone from Edusity who found me and sought me out.
And so as to not make this an epic length post, one message led to another. Then it led to a Zoom call with the CEO and the head of marketing. Turns out they were actively seeking educators who can create quality content. Well, they liked my program so much, it has become their point of focus. So, I rescripted and re-recorded all of the lessons in each category, and we are in the process of finishing up. We will be launching it this Winter! Yay!
The point of this entire story is to demonstrate how everything that I needed always showed up. Luckily, I never got angry or frustrated. I had grown enough Spiritually over the years that I had developed the faith in how the Universe works. We are basically using the exact same Powers of Creation as the Creator Itself. After all, we are each a creation of It and possess the same powers. So, it is important to remember that regardless of how things appear or look to you on the surface, always know that everything is being handled for you behind the scenes. Just allow the Universe to literally re-arrange itself to bring about everything you need: people, circumstances, events, ideas, etc. You won’t notice it when you are in the midst of it. However, the view from above as I look back at how it all happened it delicious!
There is a great deal more about CLASS and how and what I see it evolving toward. But I’ll leave all of that for another time. Just know that if you want your goals, dreams, desires to come to you in 2022, trust that everything you need to bring them about are happening in the unseen first. It never goes according to your plan. But when it goes, boy does it go!
Wishing for all of you perfect health, happiness and joy in the coming year!
