I’ll be an assistant instructor for Igor Ledochowski’s Conversational Hypnosis Certification course. 7 whole days of really great training and practice with some of the best hypnotists in the world at the end of September. I’ll be sharing with students there how I built a great practice and what it takes to become a successful hypnotherapist.

The Abundance Conference

The Abundance Conference is going to be starting in 16 days. This will be the first of many Abundance Conferences and as the founder, I’m happy to be presenting alongside two really great speakers. I’ll give readers of this blog half off if they contact me.

Here’s a preview of what I’ll be teaching.

Motivation
– Learn great techniques to keep yourself motivated and to motivate others.

Action/Attitude
– Taking action in life that’s fueled by your motivation. Motivation without action is just dreaming. Having the attitude to go along with it and getting some great tools to shift your attitude around life.

Games/Goals
– Playing games and having goals is essential. Without a goal to shoot for or a game to play, we can still take action, but when you play a game and have goals set up properly, then you can have actions that are working towards something big.

Influence
– Playing games and having goals while taking action only take you so far on your own. You have to be able to lead others so that you can have a team that will back you up and help you get what you want in life. You’ll learn about how to lead people in powerful ways that have people contribute to you.

Clarity
– No isn’t a four letter word and having clarity and focus around all of the things you are doing is the key to being able to get what you want. There are so many opportunities and distractions out there that learning how to prune down choices in the right way is a critical skill to learn so that you can grow the opportunities and connections that are right for you.

In addition to what I’ll be teaching, the 2 other speakers, Alexandra and TR will be teaching about marketing yourself in unique and powerful ways and social capital and getting people trained around you to refer people to opportunities in your life.

A Quick Way To Disappear Problems In Your Life

I learned a handy trick a few days ago that is really worth sharing. It will help you make problems disappear in your life and give you a way toward solutions. So first, think of a problem you’ve been having. Since we’re practicing here, let’s make the problem small to medium. Nothing large right now, but it can certainly be used on large problems. Got one? Great. Let’s get started.

Many times in life, there are problems that we just can’t seem to solve. They just stay with us no matter what we do for some reason. Stuff like:

  • I want to lose weight, but I love to eat.
  • I want to quit smoking, but I need to talk with my friends who are smokers.
  • I want to get a new job, but I don’t know where to look.
  • I want to be in a relationship, but I’m not dating.

If you notice, all of the problems above are in the format “I want to X, but Y.” I’ll bet you can reformat the problem you thought about just a moment ago into something that fits that form. That’s the first step and you are on your way to success.

Now, thinking about that problem, you’ve probably worked a lot on the Y part. You’ve thought hard about dieting, or quitting smoking, or going to the gym more, or found 27 tips on dating. Nothing seems to be working. The harder you work on the “problem”, it seems that what you want is so much further away.

Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be. All you need to do is change a single word: but. Let’s try it out with the examples above.

  • I want to lose weight, and I love to eat.
  • I want to quit smoking, and I need to talk with my friends who are smokers.
  • I want to get a new job, and I don’t know where to look.
  • I want to be in a relationship, and I’m not dating.

Notice that there is a subtle change there. Changing “but” to “and” has given you some power in the situation. You’ve disconnected two things that actually are separate in reality. You want to lose weight AND you love to eat. Plenty of slim people love to eat too. Loving food isn’t what’s stopping you. Let’s try another one. You want to get a new job AND you don’t know where to look. Did you see how that problem opened up and started to disappear? What action could you take now to get a job?

Let’s try it with your problem now. Start by saying, out loud, “I want to X, but Y.” Now say, “I want to X, AND Y” and notice how different you feel when you say “and” instead of “but.” Now you’re correctly separating your problem into two statements. If you look at it now, it feels different, solvable. There’s something you want in life, and there’s also something you do (or don’t do) in life. They are actually separate things. The last step then, is to notice that they are separate and take action based on that new knowledge.

Go ahead and try this out with other problems in your life. Find out how easily you can see the actions you can take when you change just a single word. Try it out with friends too. Help them lose their “but.” You’ll be known as a problem solving genius.

Have As Much Willpower As You Want

Scientists are confirming what hypnotists have known for a long time. You can have as much willpower as you want. It is just a matter of what your subconscious mind believes.

“If you think of willpower as something that’s biologically limited, you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task…but, if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted, you can go on and on.”

Imagine having the stamina to do whatever you like. Maybe that project you’ve been putting off because you tell yourself it’s too hard or will take too much time. Maybe you just procrastinate on stuff you need to get done anyway. All of that could go away pretty quickly if you go to a hypnotist. Want proof? Call and set up an appointment with me or contact me right now. I’ll help you have more willpower than you thought you could ever have right over the phone, in less than an hour.

Hypnosis Myth: My Mind Is Weakened By Hypnosis

It is a common myth that hypnosis can somehow weaken your mind and even that a hypnotist will always have control over you once they hypnotize you. I actually get this question a lot and many people are afraid to experience hypnosis even when their friends confirm that it is fun and safe because they think this way.

So, I’m setting the record straight. No, your mind isn’t weakened by hypnosis. Actually, the smarter you are and the stronger your mind is, the easier it is for you to do hypnosis. That’s confirmed by thousands of hypnotists worldwide. We always find the smartest people the easiest to work with simply because they understand what’s going on and are willing to try something new.

A hypnotist also does not have control over you forever once they hypnotize you. Think of a hypnotist as a guide. You could go hiking with a guide and they will show you where to go to have a good time and stay safe. You are the one that still has to do the hiking though. After that, does the guide have control of you? It’s the same thing with a hypnotist.

“But I saw my friend act like a chicken!” All I can say to that is that they wanted to. The hypnotist just helped them do it. You figure that one out. You have weird friends :)

Golf Hypnosis

I’ve just gotten involved with Bill Ranson to help his golf game using hypnosis. Bill is a professional golf instructor that is going to be touring on the pro circuit as a player. The hypnosis I’ll be doing with him is geared toward sports in a special way and allows the mind to fully connect with the body, enhancing his performance. We’re going to be making some videos in December, so stay tuned for more news.
