The Intuitive Wisdom of Animals: Trusting Their Insights in Our Lives

Thursday, March 12, 2026

The other day I was standing in the kitchen portioning out containers of homemade pet food and it reminded me of why you should register for the free Online Income Playbook summit by clicking here.

It’s a routine around here. I cook a big batch, let it cool on the counter, and then pack it into containers for the freezer.

What always amazes me is what happens next.

At first the kitchen is empty.

Then suddenly, before I even start spooning out the food… they appear.

One cat jumps onto a chair.
Another sits by the refrigerator.
The dog materializes beside the island.

Within about thirty seconds, the whole crew is there staring at me like a very polite but determined audience.

No one called them.

No one sent an invitation.

They just knew.

Somehow the moment the food was ready… they showed up.

It made me laugh, but it also made me think about something I talk about a lot with business owners.

Because honestly?

That’s exactly how your marketing should work.

Not chasing people.

Not convincing people.

Not spending hours sending messages hoping someone responds.

Instead, creating the kind of signal that makes the right people show up before you even call them.

When your offer is clear and your message is right, something interesting happens.

People start finding you.

They recognize themselves in what you’re saying.

They raise their hand.

And suddenly business feels a lot less like hunting… and a lot more like serving the people who were already looking for you.

That’s one of the reasons I’m excited about the Online Income Playbook Summit happening March 16–20.

Over five days, you’ll hear from entrepreneurs who have figured out how to build businesses that attract the right audience, create simple income streams, and grow without feeling like they have to be everywhere all the time.

If you’d like to join us, you can reserve your free seat here:

I think you’ll walk away with a lot of ideas for how to make your business feel a little more like my kitchen when it filled up with animals.

Quiet… and then suddenly full of exactly the right kind of attention.

And if you happen to hear a mysterious noise in the kitchen later today, don’t worry.

​It’s probably just Ming announcing that dinner is ready.
