Five things you can do right now to begin achieving your dreams

People see the success my clients and students achieve and ask me, “What can I do to be that successful?”

The mentality is that there’s some kind of “magic bullet” that will automatically transform their life without any kind of investment or effort.

Unfortunately, there isn’t. But there is something you can do right now from the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (also known as NLP) to jump-start your success...

What is NLP?

So many people ask me, “What is Neuro-Linguistic Programming and why would I want to learn it?”

What if you could make your real life match all those fantasies and dreams you have in your head?

What if you could…

• Create your ideal career and love what you do for a living
• Be with your perfect mate (including making your existing relationship magical)
• Have the body you’ve always desired
• Create rich, deep connections with your friends and family
• Communicate with people in a way that makes you most influential, persuasive and insightful
• Understand the human mind to such an extent, it’s almost as though you can tell what people are thinking

Would that be useful to you?

Are your Presidential candidates hypnotizing you?

We’ve all heard rumors that governmental figures are using “mass hypnosis” to influence and sway the people of our great nations.

Most of the time, this sounds like some silly conspiracy theory. But after all the recent news about the elections, I think it's time to find out if there's any truth to the rumors.

I sat down to analyze the speech patterns of the top three candidates at the time of this writing (Mar 08): Hilary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama.

Of course, without something to compare them to, numbers are just numbers. So I wanted to get some radically clear benchmarks for contrast. I picked one person who I'm fairly certain has no hypnotic skills – Bill Gates of Microsoft – and one who was notorious for his ability to hypnotize and influence the masses – Adolf Hitler.

In testing for hypnotic ability, I looked for these specific language patterns in a 500 word excerpt from each subject:

Important notes about the recession from a hypnotist

“The recession.”

Those words are ominous, aren’t they?

It seems that every time an election comes up where it looks like the non-incumbent party will win, we are in a “recession.”

We had the Carter/Reagan recession. The Bush/Clinton recession. The Clinton/Bush recession. And now the Bush/???? “recession.” And each blames it on the other.

It’s all so politically convenient.

It’s all so damning.

But, who is it that decides that we’re recessing?

Every-day hypnotic language

“So you’re sitting there, looking at your screen screen, reading this article while your eyes scan across the page taking in each letter, each and every word, becoming even more curious about hypnosis with each and every breath you take.”

What you probably don’t realize is that the above sentence is hypnotic in nature.

When we talk to people, for the most part, we are trying to influence them. We’re taking a concept from our mind and trying to communicate it in words that will hopefully make the same concept in their mind...
