Last week I made a post about an idea I wanted to patent. Yesterday and today I am contacted by two new clients who have had the exact same idea and want my help producing a proof of concept. One of them talked about patenting it. I'm going to find out when they had this idea, but if I had to guess, it was probably sometime last week...

Just seems too coincidental. What does it mean?

I've had similar things happen a few times. It could be the conditions that lead to your inspiration were also experienced by your clients. Potentially there is some kind of interconnectedness too.
