Proven Ways To Gain Self Confidence, Boost Your Self Esteem and End Self Doubt

For the last three weeks I’ve been running a survey asking people about their levels of confidence and self-esteem.  I promised I would share my findings now that the results are in.

The average survey respondent described themselves as appearing quietly confident, but deep down 48% tend towards self-doubt.  In fact they see themselves as sympathetic and warm with other people, but they are often unsure of their own thoughts – and often don’t trust their own feelings.  Ever felt like that?

When unexpected problems occur, they don’t always tackle them as well as they’d like.  In fact, one quarter said they feel completely useless in these situations.   

52% of responders wished they were more confident at work, as well as in everyday disagreements like at the shops, or over parking spaces.  Curiously the majority were happy to speak to groups or in public, but only provided they knew what they were going to be talking about.

A whopping 61% of those surveyed say that they are very critical of themselves and dread looking like a fool front of other, and after dealing with a person they will go away mentally analysing everything they themselves did and said, focussing mainly on their mistakes than what they did well.  Does this sound like you?

One third of responders had previously been told by someone close to them “Oh you’re just being overly sensitive”.

To build their confidence people have tried self-help material, visualisation, asking a partner who will “prop them up”, but that mostly didn’t work.

Where people have felt a boost in self-esteem was where they got support from other people, including going for counselling and hypnotherapy.  Just getting out there and meeting people seemed to help massively, if they could get themselves to do it.

When you surf the web searching for terms like “how to be confident” and “confidence building”, you tend to get dictionary definitions, or dumb platitudes like “Think nice thoughts” or “Shower more often” accompanied by childish cartoons.

I don’t care if you’re an HR Manager of a self-confessed nerd, there will be times when you feel small and powerless, and scared to open your mouth.

I spent most of primary and secondary school feeling TORTURED like that – wound up tight, avoiding eye contact, trusting only a very small number of trusted friends, and by the time I was 19 years old I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer, brought on by toxic thoughts of shyness and worry.  And then worrying about the worrying, if you know what I mean.

Where it changed for me, when I dig back far enough into my past, was reading my brother’s psychology books for his degree – I was fascinated to realise that I’d managed to burn a hole in my stomach with my own brain.  A crap superpower.  But what power!  What could you do if you turned it outwards?

And that started me on a journey in positive thinking, visualisation, then more advanced mind tools like NLP and Hypnosis.  The good news is that there ARE practical, useful things that work in the real world, that are easy to learn and really change how you feel, think and move.  Now I have an optimistic outlook, a healthy self-image, a usually supportive internal voice and I know how to move, breathe and speak to feel strong and in control most of the time.  And my stomach ulcer disappeared.

On September 23rd I’ll be running a free 1 hour webinar on how to go from timid mouse to superhero [at least in your own head] and you can learn all about that HERE.  I’m going to share 6 quick steps – real practical “how to” techniques – to make you feel more assertive and stronger inside.  And you can “lurk” and not even have to speak!

I hope you’ll join us J

Ho'o Pono Pono, Zero Limits and Huna that works

Just finished re-reading a great book called "Zero Limits" by internet marketer Joe Vitale and Hawaiian Dr Hew Len.  Very thought provoking, and because I studied Huna in Hawaii over a period of 3 years, it called to me in a big way.  And I had a stunning health event which really anchored strong feelings to this book.

In the book, they start off by clearly stating that mind techniques are toys that your conscious mind plays with, to keep you thinking that you're in charge of your life.  In fact, you're not in charge, and miracles come when you let go of the toys, and instead trust in a silent place inside yourself.  You want to get beyond all those mental techniques.

Here's the irony - the book then teaches a ten word mantra.  Isn't that just another conscious, mind technique?  You're bound to have heard of it by now: "I'm sorry, I love you, please forgive me, thank you".  Say it over and over to "clear" old programs and miracles will happen.  Hmmm... But does it actually do what it says on the tin?  Let's face it, we all know people who think positive thoughts all day long and are still broke, unhappy and ill.  We can all get together in our communes and retreats and have deep meaningful discussions under the stars, but after the scent of the incense has faded, has anything actually improved?

Esoteric study, metaphysics and qualtum physics all agree - Creation and manifestation begin in the void - the quantum field - the source - whatever you want to call it, where there are no words, no thoughts, no intentions.  The void, or the I'o in Huna, is the great balancer or equaliser - indestructible, infinite and timeless.  Everyone has a model of the world that they view the world through.  You ideally want to dissolve yours...

It's funny, I have worked in the world of therapy and hypnosis for over 20 years.  Yet most therapists never notice that in every therapy appointment they attend, there's always one person present.  Them.

 Think about it.  Every time you have a problem, you are present.  Therapists think they are there to help the client heal.  Wrong.  Actually their job is to heal themselves of the program they see in their client.   That's the basis of the psychiatric healing that Hew Len is famous for, and the main reason Joe Vitale spotted the opportunity for a best selling book on Amazon.

Carl Jung once said "Who looks outside dreams.  Who looks inside wakes".

The Void is timeless, boundless and infinite.  Memories are stuck in time, connected to a location and full of uncertain emotions.   Start by accepting that all of your life experiences are 3D holograms of either your memories, or your inspirations.  The question to ask yourself is "What is going on in me that I have caused this problem?  And how can I rectify this problem in me?"

Think about it, when you delete a file from your computer's hard drive, where does it go?  Its actually still there - ask any laptop repair company.  Or your local crime lab.  As are your memories.  So you either come from old memories, or new inspiration.  Old programs or divine message?  So the aim is to get into the Void.  Or get to "zero".  No memories.  No intentions.  When you're in the void, everything is available.  When you're in the conscious mind, everything is inherently limited by space, time, measurement and dimension.  Therefore immediately finite.  Your mind is preventing you from feeling the peace that your mind is craving.  The voice in your head isn't you.  Divinity and inspiration are behind that voice.

As long as you're using affirmations, or intentions, you're resisting, fighting and wishing things away.  Instead, give in to inspiration coming in.  HUGE learning for me here - Don't go inside WITH something, go inside and LISTEN.  Free conscious will can still dismiss or accept the inspiration that comes in, and you can choose to act on it or not.  Its free will, or free won't.  Memory is thinking, inspiration is allowing.  But its not about results.  Its about peace.  Let go of the worry, be empty, and the solution is downloaded.  Otherwise if you get hooked on being stuck, you remain stuck.
Impulse > free will > act or not.

Morrnah Simeona was a Kahuna who died in 1992.  She added a more modern twist to the method which was originally called Ho'o Pono Pono.  And the newer Joe Vitale method has been heavily criticised from being too far removed from the traditional Hawaiian origins.  I've used it ten word mantra personally and tested the method and quite frankly found it to be  practically useless.  OK it might make you feel like you're doing something helpful, but in terms of actual change in the physical world - zero [pun intended].

How to build a recurring revenue as a highly-paid author, speaker, coach, seminar leader, or online marketer.

This is just a short video [well, short for me!] which poses one question - How do you take your life’s wisdom and experience and take it out of your head and put it into a product or programme and monetise it?

What do you know right now – what are you good at that can inspire other people or instruct them so that they get more results, an easier life, better quality of life, and you also get paid for it.

Testimonial for The Guru Factory

You'll have no doubt seen my promotions for The Guru factory which launches with the live weekend event in 7 days time.

But what you may not know is that back in January I ran a small trial run with only a few select individuals from my private client bank to test it out.

Here's what one of these pioneers had to say:

 "My name is Paul and my business is Get Results Fitness. We run a Personal Training business that help people look better, feel better and move better

Before guru I had very little knowledge of how to develop my reputation online. Also I had bits of an online marketing program but needed someone to help me pull it all together.

Guru made things idiot proof and easy to follow.

Guru has helped me create an idea for an online product that will hopefully help me achieve some residual income in the near future.

If you don’t join guru you will likely be overwhelmed not knowing where to start, and weeks and months will pass without you really moving forward. Guru gives you the support and knowledge to get it done."

You can learn all about this innovative NEW programme that turns you into a published author with a platform, presence and residual income streams... in just 90 days!

http://www.TheGuruFactory.co.uk

How to be a highly-paid author, speaker, coach, seminar leader, or online marketer.

I have a question for you - How do you take your life story and the advice you have for other people on how they can improve their life and build their business and build a 6 figure income from it?  Well it’s something I figured out how to do over the last 20 years. And I’d like to share some insider secrets with you.

In this video I'm going to teach you 5 advanced strategies

If you want to become the next guru in your field then take out a pen and paper cos you’re going to want to write this stuff down.

Give Me Just 5 Minutes And I'll Show You How To Make A Difference

I've just loaded a sneak preview of my latest [and the one I'm most proud of] programme --The Guru Factory -- on Youtube, and the video is below...

A lot of people have been asking me questions about this programme, so I thought I'd answer most of them below...

What is The Guru factory?

It's a 2 day LIVE event followed by a 90 day programme where I work with you to monetise who you are and what you know. Together we will build you a recurring revenue as a highly-paid author, speaker, coach, seminar leader, or online marketer.

The system is designed to show you exactly how you can easily create engaging content that will attract your target market to you and position yourself as an expert.

We go beyond the theory and rather than show you exactly how to do it, WE ACTUALLY DO IT TOGETHER.  AND we provide you with the tools you need to get rapid results without being a techie.

Are you ready to implement and take action on what you learn? If you aren’t, that’s OK, but if you are willing to take action and build an engaged audience who sees you as the expert, then we are ready to show you how.

You can make money as fast as you implement the tools and take action. In my previous "Fully Booked Bootcamp" and "The Alchemy Challenge" programmes, we have had students literally take what they learned during our pre-training and use that information to close deals with it.

If you are deliberate about implementing what we teach, and if you follow the action steps, we know you will see results.

CONCERN: Is it Easy? Can I Do This?

SOLUTION: A couple of you said "I don't want another thing on my to do list". One of the great things about our process is that it is so easy to implement. In an afternoon, we'll show you how you can turn the knowledge in your head into podcasts, livecasts, webinars and books.

CONCERN: What if I fall behind? Or miss a lesson?

SOLUTION: Don't worry - you will have access to each lesson after they originally happen. Everything will be recorded and you can go back and rewatch any lesson or watch it for the first time on your own schedule. You may even find that you get so busy implementing what you learn in the first couple lessons, that you want to pause the training so you can get the assignments done. Our format will let you do that. If you are watching recorded lessons, you can go in any order you choose so you can focus on the parts you want to see again, or go directly to training on a section you want to implement right away.

CONCERN: What if I'm just lazy and unmotivated?

SOLUTION: Well, is that really the case? Or is it that you’ve never had someone hold your hand and show you a step-by-step system on how to build an engaged audience?

We are even going to work with you 1 on 1 to make sure your tools get set up right away. If you are truly lazy, unmotivated, and won't take the steps necessary to turn your expertise into great content, then don't join. If you're willing to do some work, study, and implement, then this will work for you.

CONCERN: What if I am not an expert?

SOLUTION: If you have ever helped anyone solve a problem, you can provide a service as an expert, and get paid well for doing so.  Can you answer 10-20 questions about a topic? Then you can execute on what we teach. If you can’t pull out the expertise from yourself and run with it, then we’ll show you how you can borrow other’s peoples expertise and facilitate for them, and how you can interview other experts to build an audience.

The truth is no matter what business you're in or want to be in," your business isn't different." All businesses need leads. All businesses need customers. Every business can benefit by having a strong engaged audience online.

Regardless of what you sell, positioning yourself as an expert and building a platform for leadership and change in your industry by publishing improves your connection to your customers and will help generate leads for your business and attract the right customers to you. You’ll also learn how to turn those interested in learning into real leads you can follow up with and close.

CONCERN: How easy is it to learn to use? I’m not very technical. I’m not an experienced writer.

SOLUTION: I’ve designed the system to be easy to use even if you are not technical. You’ll get step-by-step training inside the system as well as a systematic approach to creating books for the purpose of building a business and strategies for expanding your platform. We have help videos that literally walk you through everything. On top of that you can schedule a 1 on 1 session with me to help you get everything setup.

CONCERN: What if I don’t even have a business yet?

SOLUTION: You don’t need a business to start engaging with an audience and start building a list. We’ll show you how you can take the knowledge you have about your business, something you are passionate about or want to learn about and use it to create an engaged audience.

CONCERN: What if I don't know how to write or publish a book?

SOLUTION: That is exactly what this course will teach you. We have templates and structure created right in the course to take you through the whole process from beginning to end. In fact I have had 4 clients so far who have gone through the programme without any book writing experience and in less than 30 days completely written and launched their books

CONCERN: What if I fall behind?

SOLUTION: This is a fast-paced course and this is YOUR PRODUCT. If you need to take a break, the materials will all be here when you come back. However, we encourage you to stay on track with our curriculum to build momentum and get the maximum benefit out of the programme. Also by staying up with the sessions you’ll be able to ask questions Live when they are recorded.

You'll have access to the complete programme so you can come back as often as you need to review the training materials and access the resources.

CONCERN: What if I try it, and it’s not for me?

SOLUTION: I stand by this course with a 100% money-back guarantee. I’ve tested these techniques and strategies extensively and I have proven that they work. I have success story after success story, so I can take on the risk myselfs. Try the course out for 30 days and decide if it’s right for you. However - and this is important - only join if you intend on implementing what you learn. This course is not just to give you a bunch of information. You’ll need to take action to be successful. If you do decide that it’s not for you just ask for a refund in the first 30 days.

CONCERN: What if I don't know where to start?

SOLUTION: One of the great things about this system is we take you by the hand and show you step-by-step how to start and where to get started…even if you have no idea how to get leads...or even how to get started. We even get on a 1 on 1 joint call with you to help get you going.

CONCERN: What if I don't know anything about marketing, technology or product creation?

SOLUTION: No problem. This programme is designed for anyone who wants to build their platform, increase their value and start making money by publishing and building a business off of their book, podcast or publishing to other media. We have people in this programme with very little to no experience in marketing, technology or product creation as well as more experienced customers. You will learn everything you need to know, step by step.

How everyday people can make money sharing their advice

Have you ever imagined yourself receiving an award on stage?  Have you ever dreamed of speaking in front of hundreds of people, delivering your message with authority and credibility?  What if you could be not only recognised for your talents, accomplishments and expertise, but you could double your income by doing it?

At a time when millions of people are retiring or looking for second incomes, and millions more are hungry for advice and guidance on how to improve their lives or grow their businesses, I ask you “Why not use your knowledge and life’s experience to inspire and help others?”  You can easily package your knowledge and share it with them in a way that earns you money.

If you believe you are here to make a difference in this world, the best way to do that is to package your knowledge and advice (on your chosen topic) to help others succeed.  In this day and age, anyone can be a “publisher” and help other people improve their lives.  Why not you?

Your life experience, your knowledge and your viewpoint – what you’ve learned throughout life and want to share with the world – has greater importance and market value that you probably imagined…  You can get paid for sharing advice and how-to information, and in the process build a lucrative income and a profoundly meaningful life.

This programme is about becoming the expert, authority and “go to” person in your area where you communicate your message to the public and finally get paid what you’re truly worth.  Whether you’ve published a book or you’ve never even considered being an author, this may seem daunting. 

Fortunately I’ve systematised the journey for you by breaking it down into a 90 day blueprint that will save you years of time, money and effort.

The Guru Factory is designed to turn your know-how and knowledge into an income stream that gives you influence, access and recognition – and makes you money while you sleep.  How to share your message and advice on any topic with thousands of people, all the while building a real career and business as an expert.

I believe that the system I’ve developed in The Guru Factory is one of the simplest and fastest ways to grow a business in as little as 90 days.  Of course it’s up to you to do the work, but I’ll be with you every step of the way.  This is a DONE WITH YOU programme.

If any of this sounds unbelievable – especially the bit about getting paid for sharing your knowhow – then that’s only because you’re not yet aware of the pretty secretive industry that has existed for decades – the “expert industry”.

These are the people you see on TV and on the web giving advice on any number of fields.  Average, ordinary people who have packaged what they know into advcice for others – whether that’s being a better parent, how to restore classic cars, how to build aviaries, or any other topic.

They have articles, blogs, DVD home study courses,, videos and more – all of which are extremely cheap and quick to produce thanks to the internet.

And don’t worry about the words “guru” and “factory” if you have weird connotations to them – this is simply a fill in the blanks process where we combine various parts of your intellectual property in  way that is easy to consume and helps other people in their lives.  It’s not about becoming a motivational or inspirational speaker [though you can do that if you want as part of this programme] Becoming an expert is simply a matter of positioning and packaging who you are and what you know so that you can help the greatest number of your ideal clients.  And I’m going to walk you through each step of the way.

You really can reach thousands of people with YOUR message, and you can earn good money doing so.  I have proven it and so have my clients.  So keep reading and you may discover a whole new career for yourself, and a higher calling…

Your starting point isn’t important – whether you’re starting from scratch, or you’ve been in business for decades – this programme is about reinventing yourself.  Take advantage of this incredible technology and the community that exist in this programme and don’t waste another minute – it’s your time to shine.

IT’S YOUR TURN – you’ve surfed the internet and listened to other people’s audios long enough.  Now is the time to learn step by step how to get hired as a speaker, hold your own seminars, make money online and build a real business coaching and training other people.

THIS YEAR you can have

·        Your own paperback book on Amazon

·        Speaking gigs and lucrative seminars

·        Coaching clients and recurring income

·        Thousands of people impacted by YOUR STORY and YOUR ADVICE in your passion

You can start from scratch and you can start right now, and in 90 days you will have your own book published on Amazon, your own website to sell it, your own web presence on Facebook and YouTube, your own product for sale and your own subscription website where people pay you every month for your information and advice.  Are you ready?
