Are You at Cause For Your Health? An NLP Perspective

One of the biggest issues we have facing us in the modern world is that people have been conditioned to believe that health is not a personal responsibility.

Society blames health on our genetics, our upbringing, our environment, our government (or lack of government), for-profit corporations, our age... anything BUT the personal choices we have made and the personal choices we continue to make each and every day.

People have been conditioned to believe that health primarily comes in a bottle full of chemicals, reactively given to you only through the permission of a medical system that has assumed far more power than it can competently handle. THIS is primarily why we are in the position of health we are in today as a society...

Breaking the Pattern of Relationships with Narcissists and People With Personality Disorders

So many people say you cannot spot a narcissist or someone with a personality disorder until it's too late, but then they will tell you about the string of narcissists they have been in relationships with.

This is a clue.

While they may not consciously recognize the narcissist at the onset of the relationship the fact they keep "falling" into relationships with them is no accident.

I used to run this negative pattern in my own life with people who have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder. Similar to narcissism, but more toxic). There is definitely something subconscious going on, because "normal" people are not attracted to narcissists.

A Homeless Man Sleeps in the Back of a Denny's Restaurant...

Most people assume he's a dirty menace. He's kicked out in the middle of the night because he doesn't have enough money for a cup of coffee.

They don't realize the impossible downward spiral he's stuck in that put him there. They don't know that, even though he is homeless, he cleans and grooms himself every day in a locked Del Taco bathroom and washes his clothes at the laundromat with the precious little money he has to keep his sanity so he doesn't slip down the rabbit hole of becoming a "bum." They don't realize the support of his family and friends has run out (or at least he thinks it has).

They don't know him and they don't want to. Would you want to know him?

The Five Second Rule: An NLP Perspective

There has been a lot of talk lately about “the five second rule,” the subject of a book and media campaign by Mel Robbins.

The premise is that your brain is your enemy when it comes to success and achievement, so you have to "trick it" to be good at anything.

The author explains how procrastination and apathy caused her life to spiral out of control – a failing marriage, a career she hated, etc. – and the only thing that turned it around and “fixed” her life was counting down backward from five and taking action the second she gets to zero.

Why?

Using NLP to Develop a Perfect Memory

Have you ever forgotten someone’s name?

Of course, you have… it’s one of the most common (and embarrassing) situations.

What about a phone number?  Or a to-do item on your task list?

If you’re like most people, you think you have a less-than-perfect memory.

In fact, you’re wrong... Research has shown for decades that the subconscious mind absorbs and records at an astonishing rate (over 2,000,000 bits of information per second) that your conscious mind (which processes only 126 bits per second) isn’t even aware of.

The NLP Marketing Experiment: Is Your Subconscious Mind a Sponge?

Are you an “aware” person?

Most people think they’re pretty aware and observant, but the fact is, our conscious awareness is tiny compared to the subconscious mind.

I’ll give you an example…

Take a moment to look around your environment. As you do, I want you to notice everything brown in your environment. Just take inventory of everything brown in your environment.  Take about 30 to 60 seconds to try this.

Great. Got it? Good. Now...

Asking Powerful Questions to Close More Sales with NLP

Your sales results depend largely on your ability to build personal and emotional value for your prospects.

I have made countless purchases based purely on emotional appeal, while very few of my purchases in life have been based wholly on logic. If you think about your past purchases, you’ll probably say the same.

Using NLP to Develop Sales Questions

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of influencing the subconscious mind through every-day conversation...

Five Ways to Make Money with NLP

As an NLP trainer, people always ask me, “How can I make money with NLP?”

I remember starting out in this field. As an owner of my own software company, I was already versed in business and marketing, so I was able to break six-figures my first year in NLP. One of the biggest ways I help struggling NLP Practitioners, NLP Master Practitioners and NLP Trainers these days is by teaching them business skills to help them thrive with their NLP skills...

How to Close More Sales and Put More Cash In Your Pocket with NLP

Go to any sales training (I've been through a ton of them) and you will be inundated with the same old stuff.

The Ben Franklin close, the sharp angle close, the take-away, distraction techniques...

A lot of that stuff worked well in the 70s, 80s, and even the 90s, but today's audiences are more sophisticated, more cynical and less trusting today than ever before.

So how do we get through to people whose shields are always "up"?

My NLP, Hypnosis and Motivation Quotes

Some people have been asking me to post some of my quotes in one place. Here you go:

“Think of all the things you want in life. All of your hopes, dreams and desires. They are the cost of not stepping out of your comfort zone and not taking action.”

“Transformation begins not by waiting for the right circumstances, but my making commitments that create the right circumstances, right now.”

“Ships have heavy anchors that keep them stuck in one place. You have an anchor, too… it’s your index finger. And as long as it is pointing at someone else, you’re stuck. Want to raise your anchor? Learn to be at Cause for everything in your own personal reality. Then you can sail anywhere.”

“The worst things in life are not those things that happen to you, but rather the things you never do. Excuse is the monster in Opportunity’s closet.”
