Well, it has been five-and-a-half long, satisfying weeks.
Our once-per-year round of NLP trainings, starting with NLP Practitioner, then NLP Master Practitioner, and finally NLP Trainer’s Training has come to a close.
After graduation and a few days off for relaxation and reflection, it’s time to get back to the work of spreading the message.
And it really is a simple message: We have the inner-mind tools to change people’s lives, and ANYONE can learn them.
You can learn them to eliminate all the negativity from your life and create happiness, health, wealth and abundance for yourself.
You can learn them to help your family – parents, siblings, kids, whomever – to change their lives for the better.
You can learn them to help others overcome all the obstacles that have ever held them back and charge hundreds of dollars per hour to do something truly amazing.
And you can learn to train others to do all of that and to create immense prosperity at the same time...
People are always surprised when I tell them I’m a hypnotist.
It starts with a twinkle in their eye, then a curiosity builds. Sometimes they put up their fingers in the sign of a cross and jokingly say, “Don’t look at me!”
But mostly, people wonder what the limits really are. Is it just for fun? Can it be used to hurt people? Isn’t it all just in your mind?
All good questions, but let’s look at the last...
As a Master Practitioner and Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, people are always looking to me for advice about how to live your life to the fullest, and to have, be, and do what you want in life.
I’m always happy to share my ideas and philosophies, and people are always thankful to receive them.
In the past, my message was one of hope, and desire.
Now, it has become one of necessity...
What are you going to choose to do this weekend?
No matter what is on TV, you can always TiVo it and choose to change your life for the better.
The real question is, which life-changing skill do you learn this weekend?
On the one hand, you can completely eliminate stage fright, become a powerful public speaker, and learn to use subtle group hypnosis patterns like our new President.
On the other hand, you can learn how to hypnotize people (including yourself) one-on-one and become certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist in just one weekend.
Tough choice! Let's explore...
Are you motivated?
Do you know what kind of motivation you have?
Most people don’t think about it, but there are actually different kinds of motivation – two, to be exact: “Toward” motivations and “Away” motivations.
The common analogy is “the Carrot vs the Stick.” While that’s a well known analogy, most people don’t realize that it does describe an actual personality trait. Nor do they take the time to figure out which one motivates the people they interact with.
These motivation styles are an example of another NLP Meta Program called Motivation Direction Filter (refer to my previous post on NLP Meta Programs if you haven’t read it yet for other metaprograms).
Are you one of the millions of people who saw the movie, The Secret?
I’ll bet you’ve been diligently wishing for your new life ever since.
Maybe you’re sitting in your recliner with your hands on an imaginary steering wheel trying to attract a new car.
Perhaps you’re going to your mailbox wholly expecting with heart and mind to find piles of money in the form of checks, rather than bills.
Or maybe you’re changing the paintings in your home to attract that passionate romantic lover you’ve been waiting a lifetime for.
The fact is, none of that works.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble. The Secret is an amazing movie, and it’s incredibly inspirational, but they left out one, big, important step…
People always ask me, “Hey, Michael, you’re a master hypnotist. Do you know a way that I can be hypnotic so people listen to everything I say carefully?”
Of course I do!
I remember when I was in NLP Trainer’s Training. We covered nested loops quite a bit. It was amazing. I know you’ve been in a situation where everything that’s said is of the utmost importance, and you focus your attention on just one thing. Me, I know this stuff is riveting. And, as we continued sitting in our chairs, wondering about nested loops, soaking all this up, the most amazing thing happened...
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...
I found out about an new, secret, celebrity hypnotist today!
Dilbert creator, Scott Adams, is a trained hypnotherapist!
Who knew?!
You can read about his experience and opinions here:

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…
Would that be useful to you?
