Do The Law Of Attraction, The Secret & Self Help Actually Work?

Hi there,

 How you doing?

 It's a blowy Saturday morning and I'm sitting outside the school where Luke's at his usual violin lesson. Every week he goes to class, gets instruction from an experience teacher who's good at what she does, and he learns and improves his skills and he's really coming on. Which is kind of what I want to talk to you about.

 See I've been into personal development and self help for 25 years - I started with a wee correspondence course on confident psychology, then started reading positive mental attitude books before going onto audio tapes by Zig Ziglar, then NLP, Tony Robbins - all the usual gurus. I've studied and been certified with 3 different NLP training companies at practitioner, master practitioner and even nlp trainer. I went to Hawaii 5 times to study Huna and western high magic. I've used goal setting, law of attraction, time management, visualisation, you name it. And I've earned a good living as a master hypnotherapist and NLP trainer, running courses and working with over 2000 private clients.

 But here's the thing - I've met loads of people who have read all the books, listened to all the CDs, they say they applied all the principles, and it hasn't made a blind bit of difference. They're still ill, or broke, or divorced, or scared, or phobics, and they say personal development is nonsense.

 See if there are the 4 levels of life - the spiritual the mental the emotional and the physical, my theory is that everyone wants change in the physical world - money, lovers, houses, cars, things. Mental is nice, spiritual can be profound, emotional makes you feel better but my belief is that people want tangible 3d proof.

 So I'd like to hear from you in particular - if you're a fan of personal development, if you're a seminar junkie like me, has it made a difference? Did it work? Did the law of attraction being you what you wanted? Did the money and wealth courses make you money? Were there real, tangible improvements in the world of physical? Or did it just give you a warm fuzzy feeling?

 Leave your comments below and I'll reposed to the personally.

And if you haven't read my report called "If NLP and coaching are so hot where's my range rover?"  yet,the link is RIGHT HERE

What kinds of feelings do you want more of?

You’ve probably heard of Ivan Pavlov – you know the guy who rang a bell and the dogs salivated?  Cos they were hungry?  He’d show them some meat and while they were gagging for it he’d ring a bell.  Eventually he could just ring the bell and have no meat present, and the dogs would salivate.  Yeah?  (It was actually a tuning fork but let’s not be picky).  That was an anchor – the bell became the anchor. 

At school the bell was an anchor. t was either time for you to get back in there and into your class, or it was time for you to get out of there and get home as quickly as possible.  Or maybe you were late, and the bell became an anchor for how little time you’ve got to get down the road and into school.  Remember this stuff?

     We can all think of things that act as triggers in our lives- that whenever they happen they fire off certain states.  Maybe a song that you hear that puts you into a sad state, cos last time you heard that song you were in a sad state, and the two became neurologically linked.  Or maybe there’s a particular smell (and the perfume industry knows this one) that whenever you smell it you go into a nice, pleasant state.

     These are anchors – triggers that are hard wired into your neurology, so you have no conscious control when they’re fired off – you’ll go into that state automatically.  Imagine that!  Now if it’s a nice state than we’ll leave it alone, but if it’s a negative one, there are ways to collapse the anchor, or neutralise it, so it doesn’t control you anymore. We show you how to do that, which means no longer are you one of Pavlov’s dogs – you’re no longer a conditioned animal, you actually have a choice about it & you can choose not to react.

     In my history there was a village that I’d drive through, and every time I did I went into a negative state, because of what I associated to that place, even though those events happened 20 years ago!  Wouldn’t it be great to be able to cancel it out so it doesn’t affect you?  You can probably think of some triggers like that, yes?  Songs or pictures or things that maybe flash into your head….

     Equally it’s very useful to be able to set positive anchors.  Maybe you’d like to be more excited more often, or more driven more often.  Imagine if you could basically have that state “on tap” and anytime you wanted to feel that way you could fire it off, and you’d go into that state.  That then begs the question – what kinds of emotional states would you like to feel more often?  Because we can show you how to anchor them into yourself so you can go into those feelings anytime you want to.

Here’s how you can do this

     The way I do this is, I give you the entire course up-front on audio CD.  So, you can listen to that at your own pace before you come on the training-course.  That’s actually your apprenticeship.  You know, you listen to the CDs at your own leisure and you can learn what you want to learn, read the manual, get your head around the concepts, re-listen to it as many times as you want.  So, by the time you actually come to the course, your conscious mind’s like a formatted disc, it’s got the basic ground-rules all laid down.

     What’s going to happen now is that you’re going to spend the 8 days actually doing the stuff and being taken through it by myself and by HGE™ Practitioners and Master Practitioners who already use these methods.  So, your conscious mind is fully prepared, and your unconscious mind can then just learn like a learning-machine. 

  You will be really surprised how well you’ll pick it up, because on some level you’ve already heard it before.  It also deepens your knowledge, because you can leave the course and re-listen to the CD set, which, as you probably know, the more often you hear the deeper it sticks.  It means you also have a permanent reference library, you can always go back if you want to brush up on re-framing for instance, or something else.  You can dig the discs out again and listen to them, just to keep your skills up. 

If this has piqued your curiosity – give me a call or email me and we can have a chat first.

So this is Jonathan Clark.  Thanks for watching the video, take care, bye!

Jonathan Clark NLP learning how to learn

What’s the best way to learn so you can stay on top of things and not look like an idiot?

One of my favourite topics, while it sounds basic, is LEARNING how to learn.

You can save yourself time and get more of what you want (in person and on the phone).

And you can avoid arguments by connecting at a deeper level.  But only if you don’t buy into the myth about men and women.

Here’s a complimentary training on exactly how you can learn how to learn and keep up with all the information that’s coming at us every day.

DISCLAIMER: This will be a packed training because it affects every human being, but I know you’ll find it fascinating.

I was terrified of speaking at school and thus avoided going to university, and developed a duodenal ulcer by the time I was 16 through fear.  I went on to become a successful speaker, author and trainer because I learned how to learn, and how to communicate.   If you want to get good a getting your message across, then this is a must watch.

Jonathan

P.S. I was asked how I keep on top of my many projects and still read several books a month.  This video provides the answer.  Be sure to post any questions in the comments section below the video and I’ll personally respond.

NLP Practitioner Training Courses In Glasgow - What Others Have Said

If you're considering doing an NLP Practitioner Course then you must be looking to develop yourself.  Now most of my students are private individuals who want to work on themselves, not necessarily looking for Certification to become an NLP or HGE Practitioner as such.

Having worked as a therapist and Coach for over 20 years, I do resonate with other helping professionals, especially those that want to earn a living by helping people and grow a successful practice.

One of the reasons people come to me is because I am happy to teach them how to get clients and actually see a return on the investment they've just made.  So many people pay thousands of pounds every year to attend training courses, then never actually make any money from their new skills, and that's a pity.

Train with me and your life will actually get easier --  not just because you've dumped a lot of past luggage, and are running your head instead of it running you - but also because you can add 3 or 4 figures a month to your income.  Now I call that life changing money - enough to pay the mortgage, or pay a loan off, or get a new car.

You'll also hold certification in both NLP and HGE - the former internationally recognised qualification, and the latter unique to my Company and extremely few in number.  And that's because I don't believe in "Hiring in masses and training in classes".  I like smaller groups with lots of individual attention.

So you probably feel like you should be demonstrating more in life than you are, and you feel you deserve better than you're getting.  But despite all the books, cd's and seminars, you still have no idea how to make significant improvements.  if you did then you'd be doing it.

Whether its more energy, more money, better health or more free time, you goal is probably similar to most people that I attract - to make the most of the years you have left.  But you're terrified that all the naysayers might be right and all that "pop psychology" was a waste of time. [In truth a lot of it IS]

So let's end the frustration and let me teach you the tools you can use to make tangible, real fruitage in your life.

I don't want you to go through any more disappointments or longing. Come and learn what really works in the real world, so you can look forward to a life full of contribution, progress and fun. That's where I'm headed, and if you want to jump on board, now's the time.

Here's what Nicola had to say...

Why isn't it easy to get what you want?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably asked yourself the same question. Problem is, the most obvious answers – the ones everyone tells you – aren’t true…

It ISN’T about desire – you can desperately want a result and still never achieve it, can’t you?
It ISN’T determination – how many times have you vowed to change and still did nothing about it? Honestly, haven’t we all?
It ISN’T taking action – you can do all the right things, follow all the rules, and still have your hopes dashed. That ever happened to you?

Here's what it is: http://www.thenlpcourse.com/master-practitioner-handout.html

If you can relate to the frustration of consistently being denied the things you really crave in your life – in spite of your best efforts and desire – then here’s the news:

*** Meet the “silent partner” who’s been running your life***

Imagine if you owned a small business and the wrong products are coming in, orders are getting mixed up, numbers don’t add up. You’re doing everything right but the results are all wrong, and you’re baffled. What’s going on?

Now imagine finding out that your silent partner – someone you rarely speak to or meet with – has been overriding all of your decisions and has been running the show himself!

This scenario takes place every day, only the business is your life, and the partner pulling the strings is your unconscious mind…

From the way you handle your money, the people you’re attracted to, the food you eat…even the state of your health…all of your behaviours, actions and attitudes are ruled by your unconscious mind.

These beliefs and habits have their origins in deep rooted past experiences that are often long-forgotten by you, but your unconscious mind NEVER forgets. And sometimes, like a scolded child, it overreacts and interprets events in a way that creates obstacles for you, AND YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON IN THERE!

Take weight loss for example. You can diet, exercise, stop eating carbs, hire a fitness trainer, do all the best things you can think of to lose excess pounds. But what if your unconscious mind thinks that the extra weight is “body armour” to protect you, or that to be powerful you’ve got to be big like Aunt Marjory was…? Guess who wins?

The same holds true in money, relationships, health, social life, any situation you can think of – if your logical conscious mind wants one thing, but your emotional unconscious mind likes things the way they are, good luck! Its simply not going to happen!

What if you could reprogram the unconscious, by learning to talk its language? And what if it could talk back? Whoah!

Once you know how to do that , you’ll be able to make changes that you’ve struggled with for years – even changes you might have thought were impossible for you, because you’ll be working WITH your silent partner, not AGAINST them. Imagine for a moment – if it has the power to stop you, what can you achieve with it working FOR you?

What would it be like if you got offered every job you were

Imagine you could stand up in public and blow people's socks
off with your talk...

Just suppose you were so good at selling that your sales
increased by 40%

How much more acknowledgement and recognition would you gain
if you became the most respected local expert?

How flattering would it be to have dozens of people trying to
BE you?

Imagine you're a Financial Adviser and you do two appointment
sales - first the factfind, then prepare a proposal, then go
back and present it to the client and hopefully make the sale!

Picture yourself doing 3000 miles per month and living in a
Vauxhall Vectra. But as soon as you learned NLP your
appointments halved, your mileage halved and your sales went
up! In contrast, a week later your manager has a heart attack
in the same month his manager is diagnosed diabetic.

That's partly what motivates you to escape the rat race and
resign, be your own boss and grow your own six figure business.
Or you can stay where you are and shine in a company that's
scared to change.

Imagine the day you use NLP to get Morgan Stanley to hire you,
and the sales training that you present to THEIR sales trainers
increases their sales by 40% in 3 months! How much would you
charge them?

Starting on Saturday the 19th of June we're going to spend
5 days practicing state of the art business psychology skills
for communication, influence, coaching, presenting and selling
that enabled me to do exactly what I've just described. But
you'd better hurry...

Anchoring states, hypnotic language, NLP presenting skills,
negotiation techniques, become a living lie detector...
So many unfair advantages that leave you feeling in control,
the best you can be, motivated and loving your work.

Imagine you come to a gorgeous rural retreat, we implant a
"Business Power Chip" in your head programmed with the thinking
patterns of the Dragons, The Apprentices, The Bransons And
The Sugars of this world. That level of influence. That level
of drive. Heck, what if it only gave you 10% of that...

Now this is not for people who will settle for staying tired,
struggling and praying for a miracle. Ridiculous targets,
under pressure, low morale and endless paperwork...pointless
meetings, banal training while ever under the threat of redundancy.

This is for you if you want to join the increasing number of my
students who are out there DOING it, using my model to build a
name for themselves whilst proving it works. And I even help you
to get your first clients...

Visit http://budurl.com/BizPrac

And if its only the money stopping you, well we can talk about
that. This is the ONLY Business NLP course in 2010, we start
Saturday 10am and I can't wait!

Speak soon,
