The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity By Trish & Rob Macgregor [Book Review]

On Tuesday,I enjoyed the Luxury talk with my Boss, The Group Managing Director of Courteville Business Solutions Plc, Mr Bola Akindele. It was an awesome time with the man who had built an empire that should outlive him and be a pride to the African continent in the area of technology.

The first question I asked the 52year old man was about synchronicity; he said everything that has happened in his life he believed had been as a result of Synchronicity, “I would not have been here if not for Synchronicity which is from God."

Sir.B as he is popularly called explained how God ordered his steps in starting his own company ten years ago which is now worth more than 4 billion naira, enjoying the robustness on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. It has since been determined as one of the best company to work in Nigeria by; “Great Places to work”.

While on this mind exhibition with Sir.B, he gave the credit to his abundant success not to his brilliance or to his high and mighty friends but all to God which he called the Synchronicity in his life.

Before I asked him that does that mean one needs not to work or have vision because there is something called Synchroncity? He voiced out my thought that without you working on something 'legal' I added that, Synchronicity will not work for you which I believe 100%.

During our conversation, I asked him about books, immediately he stood up from his executive chair, walked to his all glass book shelf and brought out the biography of Sam Walton, he said the book talked about how the man built the largest retail outlet in the world and he told me he has all Malcolm Gladwell's collections which made me blush because I have read two of his books 'Outliers & The Tipping Point’.

I quickly asked him about the 10,000hours in Outliers one of Malcolm Gladwell's books and he said "being good at something is different from being wealthy, it's not how long you work on something" but by God's grace he added.

He had given all his staffs a copy of the book "How to Read More" by: Martin Udogie, the book made an exposition on how the reading culture is going into extinction in Africa, how we can preserve it and how people can actually enjoy reading. It highlighted some insights that would help you see that reading is not hard but something you can enjoy.

I have not read 'How To Read More' very well but Azeez Zakariyau , my colleague is using all the available time he has to crunch every words in the book, my gist on the book will come after I read it but you can get a copy. It is a wonderful book believing the words of Dr.B and Azeez on the book. Get a Copy!

I also read the extract from The 7 Secrets of Synchronicity By; Trish & Rob Macgregor, it is a wonderful book that explains how Synchronicity is working in our everyday lives, you can also read the extract from the book here http://www.hayhouse.co.za/userfiles/file/7%20Secrets%20extract%20-%20final.pdf and i am very sure you will like to get the complete book.

One of the things I enjoyed from Mr.Akindele is the relationship I have with him; there is a saying that if you want to know where a man will be in ten years check two things, the Book he reads and his association. Where would you be in the next Ten years?
