Training NLP In Spain...And A VIP Bonus

OK, we're locked in.

The Liberator Programme goes live at precisely 1:00pm on Wednesday the
13th of May, at http://www.ReleaseRetreat.com

When you book your place, you're not just getting the latest in human
change techniques and complete emotional freedom. Oh you'll get that,
don't worry.

Here's what else you get:

The course will be 2 Practitioner Certifications, NLP and HGE, and you'll
get 31 audio cds and a stunning full colour manual to be your reference
library, so you can always come back and listen to the training again
forever more.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's my latest idea that i'm mad to offer you, but heck why not!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're also going to get my best advice on exactly how to earn all your money
back and get a return on your investment. If you ever wanted to have an
additional income stream, or be paid to help people, I'm including that too...

In fact, I'm going to give you a LIFETIME membership to my practice building
programme called Full Practices. This is the exact 'how to' steps to start
using what you know to earn a nice living & be your own boss for once. I’m
going to hand you 26 specific steps on a golden platter with EVERYTHING you
need to start turning your passion into profits…

You’ll Learn Step-By-Step How To Build Your Own Personal Growth Money Maker
– AND With Zero Risk! It is called The Liberator!

Now I know you’re smart. I know you work hard, and you’re maybe already one
of the few who are sitting peacefully with everything sorted out. But the
odds are – if you’re like most of my self help enthusiast friends – that you
have valuable skills and knowledge that could really help people and make a
difference, but you have no idea how to turn it into financial security.

So I will hold your hand and help you do everything you need to do to turn
your knowledge into a good income stream. What could you do with an extra
£1000 per month? How would you feel?

Now I know you might not have any aspirations to be a therapist or Coach,
but what if you had your own line of visualisation cd's on eBay? Or your own
weekly Podcast Show on iTunes? I'll teach you how, and you'll love how easy
it can be...

This way, you'll have a completely unfair advantage over all the neuro typicals
who'll pay way more to learn NLP and will never get a return on their investment.

Also - we've negotiated with La Manga and we've arranged Half price on all
their spa treatments, including massage, body scrubs and even chocotherapy! So
not only will you get a natural tan, your skin will be smooth and glowing.
"Because you're worth it!"

You'll see the rest of the package on Wednesday at http://www.ReleaseRetreat.com

Speak soon,

Jonathan

P.S. This just dawned on me - the Full Practices students paid over £4,000
each to learn this live. But you're getting an apprenticeship for free. That
means that this isn't an expense, it's an investment.

Please leave your comments or questions below...

Where Will You Be Tuesday?

Can you clear your calendar on May 12th?

The reason I’m asking is because I want to offer
you FREE access to a very exclusive event at 8pm,
when I’ll be talking LIVE about my book, “Ignite &
Unshackle The Latent Power of You”

Listen in on my May 12th Virtual Book Tour to learn how!

> > > 'What's A Virtual Book Tour?' < < <

In just 24 hours, you will have the opportunity to participate in my 'Virtual Book Tour,' when we anticipate loads of like minded people calling in from their homes, cars, or offices from all over the world to listen to me answer your questions about how to break free from the past and create freedom inside and out.

Here's your chance to ask me directly and get registered for
my call on May 12th (starts promptly at 8pm UK time, 3pm EST).

************************************************************

Q: Will there be a REPLAY of the call?

I realise that you might be putting the children to bed or still working at the time of the call. For this reason, I'm going to leave the recorded version up.

But you will ABSOLUTELY want to be on the LIVE call if you're available! Why?

Because precisely 10:00 minutes before the end of the call, I'm going to be turning off the recorder and making an announcement that ONLY the live participants will hear. [Hint – Liberation!]

If you're not on LIVE, you won't hear the announcement. So if you CAN join us LIVE...BE THERE! I don't want you to miss out!

Speak To You Soon,

Training NLP Is So Good? Prove It!

There were a lot of great contributions sent in on the “If Only…” teleseminar last Thursday night. I read every one and appreciate you helping me make my stuff better. If you missed it then let me give you the link to the replay here:

http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=7138308

I’ve been looking through all the emails and I just found this one from Colin:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Jonathan, can we see examples of the kinds of results your students get and some of the real differences they’ve made? Please show us a real story that is YOURS or one of your clients so I can see proof this is real.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And you know what? HE’S GOT A POINT.

So as you read this, I’m posting some videos that SHOW YOU OUR ACTUAL RESULTS …to give you a bird’s eye view of what people are using this stuff for.

I don’t know why so many “gurus” refuse to follow up with their students and show you the results when the post-seminar ‘afterglow’ has faded, but I’m happy to do it.

In fact, I’m going to show you the feedback from students DURING one of my courses, the Sunday Mail’s own six week follow up on my slimming, smoking and driving test ladies, an entire BBC radio interview about anxiety to confidence, a SNEAK PEEK preview of the luxury Liberator Programme venue, and even the one student who looks bored stiff…

The videos are up and it’s all laid bare to see – you be the judge. Enjoy:

http://www.thenlpcourse.com/training-NLP-results.html

Talk soon,

Jonathan

P.S. I’ve also had a few emails asking “Aren’t you going to sell something?”

And the answer is…of course I am!

But the truth is I didn’t know so many people would be interested in Liberator. And I’m really surprised that we have the number of VIP’s on the early bird list that we have. [Not complaining – almost everyone has been really receptive to the NLP Summer Holiday Spa idea, apart from a couple of “Swine Flu Phobics” who’ve been brainwashed by media propaganda experts into not flying] We know that our self-help world is a sort of closed community of sorts…and I appreciate your loyalty

So yes…I’ll offer some course places pretty soon, but I decided to lay all the cards on the table for you NOW so you can see if this is something you’ll invest in.

Training NLP To Achieve Freedom & Peace

After the "If Only..." teleseminar on Thursday night, I promised I'd collate the answers to the Big 4 questions that reveal your core identity given by the folks on the call [that might include you!].

Breaking personal development news that concerns you…

I’m wondering if you’ve heard this story before:

"In 1953, researchers studying goal setting surveyed the graduating seniors from Yale University on their goals for the future. Only 3% had specific, written goals and objectives. 20 years later, when they tracked down the same graduates, the researchers were astounded by the results. The same 3% were more successful, and worth more in terms of wealth than the other 97% put together. They also tend to have better health and relationships than the other 97%."

I’m sure you’ve heard this, or something like this before, along with other myths that are often used within the personal development market.

Now what if I revealed to you that Judy Schiff, Yale University’s Chief Research Archivist in Manuscripts and Archives, has indeed confirmed it LAST WEEK to be a complete myth. It’s simply not true. It’s just another piece of sloppy propaganda the “gurus” use to misrepresent the validity of their paper-thin teachings.

Here’s my question to you – where are you now compared to where you thought you’d be 20 years ago? Are you who you thought you would be? Are you where you thought you’d be at? Whatever the answer, I’d like to invite you to my next Teleseminar to talk about why you might not be, and why some REAL people are…and how they REALY do it. Would you be interested? I thought so 

EVENT: If Only I Could Stop Saying "If Only..." Teleseminar

DATE & TIME: Thursday, April 30th at 3:00pm EST, 8:00pm UK

FORMAT: Simulcast! (Attend via Phone or Webcast -- it's your choice)

TO ATTEND THIS EVENT, CLICK THIS LINK NOW...
http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=7138308

I only want you to call in if you’re serious, are actually willing to follow directions, are willing to share your results with your fellow classmates, and are willing to implement new and proven ideas. The fact is that not everyone who’ll want in will fit the bill. Some folks walk their talk while others just talk.

Please call in about 5 minutes early to introduce yourself, and I’ll “see you” then.

Take care,

Jonathan

P.S. There’s a very unusual story behind this class, and I’m embarrassed to say that it reveals several of my past failures. You can get the details at http://instantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=7138308

It's NOT your fault!

Hi here,

It's NOT your fault that you haven't achieved the level of freedom and
security that you'd hoped for by now...yet. The truth is...we've been
misled by the so-called "gurus"! You see, 90% of the "self-improvement"
methods and techniques out there are nothing but HOT AIR!

In fact, many of them will make you just more frustrated and maybe even
heartily disappointed.

For example, most self-help teachers will tell you to visualise your goals
every day. Listen, I have more books on visualisation than I ever
visualised having! So what does that tell you?

But everybody knows that you HAVE to focus on what you want and take total
responsibility for your life, right?

The real trick is to have the discipline to take action and do the tangible
things that will bring the goals into manifested reality.

WARNING: If you can do both, be prepared to have your friends STALKING you
for the secret to your success!

But let me ask you a question,

If they're not telling you this, what else are they hiding from you?

Plenty. They don't want you to be master of your own life, because if you
were, you'd never have to buy another product from them ever again!

That little tip I just gave you was only a quick example of what's being
exposed here:

http://www.thenlpcourse.com/Liberate-Yourself-in-2009

That's why some personal growth people don't like my style...for telling
the truth about this field. But that's nothing! Wait till you read about
the Russian Military and how they use our kind of techniques.

I got my head down and wrote this 14 page report to explain some of the
subtle tips that I teach in my practice building programme, so if you are a
Therapist or Coach [or want to set yourself up as one] then you can start
applying it to your business right now. Don't make the same old mistakes
other people make :-)

It's done and it's ready for you to download. Just go here:

http://www.thenlpcourse.com/Liberate-Yourself-in-2009

Now at the end of the 14 page report I put a link that will take you to
another page where you can join the VIP notification list for my next
project.

Here's the weird part - I've had just over 30 people just like you join the
VIP list in the last 24 hours. I had no idea it would be this popular. I'm
flattered, and a little surprised by that. So this web page must be
getting spread around just by word of mouth.

No doubt there will be questions and I'll probably announce a teleseminar
to answer them all in the next few days, if I can figure out how to do it.

Anyway, be on the lookout for my next message, which will tell you more.
HINT - if you're still looking to book a summmer holiday, I've just done it
for you!

Just make sure you read the whole report and don't forget to click on the
link at the end.

Take care,

Jonathan

Ancient Hawaiian Huna Secrets 1

Ancient Hawaiian Huna Training Part 2

Traditional Hawaiian Huna Energy Boost!

Previously Illegal Huna Teachings From Ancient Hawaii

Have you fallen for The Big Lie?

You see it everyday...predators taking advantage of well meaning people.
Sometimes because you work on yourself and want more out of life means
you attract people who don't give a damn and who just take.

Sometimes you're just so pushed for time or you're just too tired, the
kids are being so exhausting...and that's when you get exploited.

I was having lunch with One of my best friends Stephanie [not her real
name of course] in Princes Square yesterday. Steph is 39, married with
two adorable but demanding children [her words], and a husband who humours
her interest in self-help, though deep down thinks its all mumbo jumbo and
common sense pop psychology.

I know for a fact that as long as she's still a "yummy Mummy" and the kids
are happy, then he's happy [His words not mine]. She's using visualisation
and affirmations and wonders why they're not working. I told her that
I've got more books on visualisation than I ever visualised I'd have...

They're just back from a sailing holiday in Spain on their new boat, and
to all intents and purposes they're "living the dream", but here's the
honest truth - she's miserable. She says she feels old before her time,
tired and invisible. I should also tell you that Steph is very touchy
feely, has very strong morals but keeps attracting pushy salesmen, tradesmen
and sleazy Spanish letharios [her words not mine!]

So we got into a deep and meaningful discussion about what people really
want and The Big Lie - that we've been sold the idea that we should buy
things, when what we really want is experiences. I asked her 4 short
questions, and she gladly paid for lunch in return! But it left us both
wondering, and that's where you come in...

I think I'm right about the experience vs. things idea - and I need you
to tell me if I'm right. Which side are you on?

For the Big 4 questions I asked Steph, and 2 gifts for just sharing your
opinion, please go to

http://hunanow.com/personaldevelopment.html

and help me out.

Take care,

Jonathan

P.S. Even though these gifts are free...don't discount the value of them.
In fact, they hold some clues to getting everything you want far faster
than you might think, and I had to go to Hawaii to learn them. Let me
know what you think now:

Presidential Hypnosis?

THE EVIDENCE IS HERE: This document contains over 60 pages of evidence and analysis proving Barack Obama’s use of a little-known and highly deceptive and manipulative form of “hack” hypnosis on millions of unaware Americans, and reveals what only a few psychologists and hypnosis/NLP experts know.

Barack Obama’s speeches contain the hypnosis techniques of Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D. who developed a form of “conversational” hypnosis that could be hidden in seemingly normal speech and used on patients without their knowledge for therapy purposes.

Obama’s speeches intentionally contain:


Trance Inductions

Hypnotic Anchoring

Pacing and Leading

Pacing, Distraction and Utilization

Critical Factor Bypass

Stacking Language Patterns

Preprogrammed Response Adaptation

Linking Statements/ Causality Bridges

Secondary Hidden Meanings/Imbedded Suggestions

Emotion Transfer

Non-Dominant Hemisphere Programming


Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches

3 days notice ... last chance

OK, we're getting really close now... in just about 4 days we
are going to close down our Feng Shui Secrets Live special.

This is literally your last chance to jump on board and take
advantage of live Feng Shui training where I'll actually be
assessing the Feng Shui of your own home or business personally.

The Feng Shui Secrets Special Report was downloaded hundreds of
times within hours of my email going out. The current economy
means people are trying EVERYTHING to get out of the mire,
including metaphysical techniques like Feng Shui. If you haven't
grabbed your copy yet just go to http://www.fengshuibedroomblog.com

Remember that this is the only time I'll be holding this event in
2009, and if you act now, you can also grab a great new piece of
Feng Shui software which maps out your house or office on the
screen and calculates everything for you. Here is the link:


http://jonathanclark.org/page/1498565


Unfortunately, I know there are some people reading this email
right now that will procrastinate for one reason or another, and
will miss this opportunity to learn Feng Shui from me in person,
AND for the first time in 9 years.

I may not have been teaching it, but I use it every day and it
runs my business and the businesses of my most successful
students. Come and join me on this new weekend seminar, hold my
feet to the fire and put me to the test!

You might be sceptical, you might not understand it, but at least
let me explain it to you face to face so you can make an informed
decision. That’s what I call “Knowing I’m taking a placebo”. In
other words, do it even if you’re not sure you believe in it and
trust that it is working, and it usually does…

What if it works and people dismiss it? Many of the comments on
the blog revealed hesitation and anxiety like that. But even
worse, for every day that they wait to sign up, they will be
losing out on the luck-generating, coincidence-pulling power of
Feng Shui.

Don't be one of those people... go here now:


http://jonathanclark.org/page/1498565


Take care,

Jonathan Clark


PS: Don't forget, we have an amazing guarantee that literally
removes ALL the risk from your decision. This is the first time I've
taught Feng Shui to a group in 9 years. This system is literally a
"can't lose" proposition. If you aren't happy by the end of the
seminar, you get all your money back.

PPS: We'll also be holding a "students only" teleseminar 30 days
later to check on your progress and to prove that these methods
work in the real world. Why 30 days? Because that's usually how
fast Feng Shui works...

My Feng Shui Secrets Are Out...

I recently asked for your questions about Feng Shui, and then I spent hours looking at all of them, and gave them my best answers. Many of you have been conned or baffled by IRABO’s.

The good news is that the MOST of my loyal readers are fans and are enthusiastic about learning these principles. That’s great news as I haven’t taught Feng Shui in over 9 years, but now is the time to let it reemerge as I’ve entered a 3 Tree House [sprouting].

THERE IS BAD NEWS HOWEVER…

And a lot of it! In fact, I’ve finished a valuable report that reveals 8 crucial questions that you MUST ASK (AND VERY FEW ACTUALLY HAVE) to ensure you’re taking specalist advice from an experienced consultant. Just type in your name and email address HERE and I’ll email it to you.

This special report truly reveals why most people get confused about compass directions, conflicting Feng Shui advice and get caught out by IRABO’s [explained in the report]

I may upset a few people with this report so, I may take it down at any time if I see too many negative comments.

Frankly, I like the FACT that most people need to be conviced about Feng Shui.

I hope you enjoy “Feng Shui Secrets”!

Wishing You Success,

Jonathan

Running In Traffic

Last night Cheryl & I went to the Glasgow Film Theatre to see the cast & crew screening of the new independent film "Running In Traffic" starring, directed and written by my good friend and BAFTA winner Bryan Larkin.

The stamina, passion and endurance Bryan has displayed promoting, driving and holding the vision for this film has been both admirable and quite frankly unnerving at times!

Little did I realise that it was quite so autobiographical - you get sucked in immediately to this intense tale of coincidence, money, death, synchronicity, and friendship. The tension builds as these two people go through a desperate series of events...and the rest you'll have to watch for yourself.

The film is dedicated to Bryan's Dad who passed away while the film was being made. Then Cheryl & I realised that our first "date" was at the Glasgow Film Theatre shortly after my Dad died. Coincidence?

Take a look HERE

Ji Chou, and a favour

That's Happy Chinese New Year! 2009 is the year of the Ox in the Chinese calendar.

Now what has this to do with you, other than being of mild curiousity? The thing that you might not know about me is that long before I was known as "the NLP + HGE guy", my work was mainly around Feng Shui. That's right, your wee friend Shooey. The Chinese art of placement and environment.

Now I may not be the stereotypical old Chinese man in a black mandarin suit, but I did do professional Feng Shui consultations for Marriott Hotels, Texstyle World, Fiona Decorum, Virgin Cinemas as well as hundreds of 1:1 house and office consultations over the years

The simple truth is this - according to Japanese Astrology, there are certain good years and certain bad years, and it pays to know what kind of a year you're in. Some years you SHOULD launch a business or start a family, and some years you really should avoid!

So why am I telling you this?

Well... this is something of an "open secret"... I have been waiting to give you the exact same system that I am using.

In fact, I have been waiting on this for almost three years. I even started a waiting list, and some folks have been on that list for a VERY long time. But it just wasn't appropriate until we entered a new year. THIS year in particular.

Well, the wait is ALMOST over. It looks like we are only a few short weeks away from opening my first Feng Shui Secrets Weekend Seminar in 9 years.

But before I unleash this thing, I want to do one final check to make sure that this training really has everything that YOU need. So I have this one question for you...

What is your one biggest question about attracting good luck, more money, being healthy or having meaningful relationships?

I really want to know... please enter your questions HERE.

With so many readers, I can't guarantee a personal response... but I can guarantee that I will personally read your questionsl. So go ahead and let me know - what is your one biggest question about Feng Shui?

That's all for now...

Wishing you success,

Jonathan

P.S. I am very serious about this - and I really DO value your feedback. I need to know your answer so I make sure my Feng Shui Secrets seminar is perfect... what do you want to know about Feng Shui? Please type it in HERE now...

What Do People Think About You?

Naughty [but nice] fat burning technique

"How To Lose 70 lbs in ONE WEEK..."

Something weird was happening at my gym...

Three weeks ago, there was this guy, Dave, who joined and looked
like he had about a good 100 lbs or so to lose.

I saw him again the next week and he looked like he was ALREADY
making amazing progress!

A week later he had lost so much weight, I thought he had fallen
asleep on the liposuction machine!

But by the end of the 3rd week, he had dropped the ENTIRE 100 lbs
and looked 20 years younger!

Of course I HAD to ask him his "secret", right?

=========================================
Here's His Amazing "Success Story"...
=========================================

Dave said that 3 weeks ago he called a company to order their
"5-day/10 pound" weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before
him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but
a pair of running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduced herself as a representative of the weight loss
company.

The sign reads, 'If you can catch me, you can have me.'

Without a second thought, he took off after her. A few miles later
puffing and puffing, he finally gave up.

That same girl continued to show up for the next 4 days and the
same thing happened each time.

On the fifth day, he weighed himself and was amazed that he really
DID lose 10 lbs. as promised!

=========================================
So OF COURSE He Called The Company Back!
=========================================

This time, Dave decided to order their "5-day/20 pound" program.

The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most
stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life.

She's wearing nothing but a pair of running shoes and a sign around
her neck that reads, 'If you catch me you can have me'.

Well, Dave shot out the door but this girl was in excellent shape.
He did his best, but no such luck.

So for the next 4 days, the same routine happens with him gradually
getting in better and better shape.

On the 5th day he weighed himself and discovered that he had lost
another 20 lbs. as promised.

Dave decided to go for broke!

He called the company back to order the "7-day/50 pound" program.

"Are you sure?" asked the representative on the phone. "This is our
most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," said Dave, "I haven't felt this good in years!"

The next day there's a knock at Dave's door and when he opens it he
finds a HUGE muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink
running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch
you, you're MINE!"

Dave lost 63 pounds that week!

Miraculous coincidence on the Hudson...

I'm sure you by now have seen the news about what they're calling the "Miracle on the Hudson." By spooky coincidence, one of Tony Robbins' security team was on that plane - Dave Sanderson.

Watch Tony's tribute on the video here:

http://tonyrobbinstraining.com/67/heroes/

If you've caught the story on the news, you may have heard about Dave - he was the last man out and made sure that everyone was safely off the plane.

What a perfect way to start the year - a story of courage, inspiration, determination and compassion. I wish each of you a joyous, happy, healthy, and fulfilling new year and I look forward to being in touch again soon.

Alchemy - What Does It Cost?

OK, it seems like the #1 question on everyone's
mind about The Alchemy Challenge is the "Price
Question". In other words... what is this new
“turn your passion into profits” programme going
to cost?

That seems like a fair enough question... BUT IT'S
THE WRONG QUESTION !!!!!
Now I don't want to be too hard on you here - I
know that you probably have a book case full of
personal growth books and cd’s [wait till you see
mine!] that you spent a small fortune on.

However, that collection is probably NOT bringing
any direct income into your household – it’s much
like the black hole of useless stock on a liquidated
high street store…

The real question you should be asking is:

"How much is this programme going to make me?"

You see, a properly launched product or service will pull
new leads and cashflow into your bank account. It will
not COST you anything. In fact, it will more than
pay for itself... and it will GROW YOUR BOTTOM
LINE!

For the last couple of weeks I have been trying to
change the way you look at your intellectual property.
It truly is a personal growth –enthusiasts dream tool –
but only if you use it correctly.

It should be a huge profit-producing source of
business. It should pay for itself. It shouldn't
be an expense.

Think of it this way... if you could purchase a
Magick tool for £2,000.00 that turned lead into
£5,000.00 worth of gold every month, would
you buy it?

Of course you would. In fact, you would probably
try to find a way to buy ten of them.

Well, The Alchemy Challenge is not going to cost
anywhere near £2,000.00 a month. And it will pull
profits into your business like nothing you have
ever seen before.

To your success,
Jonathan Clark

P.S. One thing I forgot to mention - if you want
the latest news see the videos at

http://www.AlchemyChallenge.com/latest.html

P.P.S. I know many of you are anxious to get
started. Well, we are ALMOST ready to release the
system - we just have a few final tweaks. I can't
commit to a release date yet - but keep Monday the
29th clear in your diary :-)

P.P.P.S. We have been asked about how many places
will be available, and whether we are going to limit the
number we are going to offer. I will be addressing
this question soon. All I can say right now is you
want to be among the first 10 to grab one of
these places. That means you should act quickly
once we launch since there are more than 4,000
people on my email list.

Frankly I'm just plain stunned!

7 Days days ago I sent out an email asking
about the two most important questions you have about
turning your passions and interests into a tangible
reward... and I just can't believe the response!

The emails came FLOODING into my inbox - and I
completely stunned by how many folks took the time
to write back to me.

(And by the way, if you haven't written
yet, I would still love to hear from
you!)

I tell you one thing that is really clear -
there are a lot of personal development enthusiasts
out there that are stuggling financially, or who are
incredibly frustrated because they can't make a decent
living out of what they know or are trained in.

After spending a virtual fortune on books, cd's, going
to seminars and even training courses, a lot of my
subscribers are scared to death that they might have
wasted all that time and expense on "wack-backy"
alternative or complementary study. Please don't make all
the critics right and me wrong!

Oh boy, don't get me started on that - I could
rant for a good long time, and that isn't why I am
writing to you...

What I've done is compiled all those emails you sent in -
I thought it would be interesting to come up with a list of
the top things that your fellow self-help enthusiasts need
to see a return on their investment. This is something we
can ALL learn from.

In fact, I have created a valuable report that reveals 7
crucial steps that you MUST TAKE (AND VERY FEW ACTUALLY HAVE)
to convert your studies into a recession-proof income stream

Something to think about...

As we rapidly approach Christmas, everywhere there is symbolism. There's a long tradition of displaying a small re-creation of the Nativity scene for instance. The scene traditionally includes the 3 Wise Men - Balthazar, Melchior, and Caspar, who followed the Star of Bethlehem, found Jesus, and presented gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Symbols are all around us, and they profoundly impact the unconscious mind, making them emotionally impactful, and easy to remember.

One such symbol is above, and it comes from the philosophy and science of Alchemy - the intention of which was to achieve ultimate wisdom as well as immortality, through the gradual development of the alchemist -- abbreviated to "chemist" and eventually the science called "Chemistry" -- as well as manufacturing tools and substances possessing unusual [almost magickal] properties. The best-known goals of the alchemists were the transmutation of common metals like lead into gold...

Which brings us to you -- and a favour I'd like to ask. Continue here...

“Discover how to end the struggling practice and make sure that by this time next year you’re booked solid, even turning clients away

12 months of strategy setting, marketing makeover, tactical manoeuvres, rapid revenues, staff handling, competitor out witting, problem solving and opportunity laden sessions - with my continual advice, guidance and mentoring STARTS 13th JANUARY 2009

Chances are you've been struggling, yes? And it's not because you're less capable. Its because -- chances are -- you were not brought up with an entrepreneur, possibility thinking, profit oriented mindset. The great majority of us are brought up and educated to believe in limitation, false ceilings, hard slog, luck and lack.

I love how Joe Polish of Piranha Marketing terms it - "you want an ELF business - easy, lucrative and fun. Right now you have a HALF business - Hard, Annoying, Lame and Frustrating!"

Fill your diary with paying clients Express your uniqueness at work
Take days off whenever you want Virtualy guarantee a rewarding future
Double your income while helping people Breathe new life and fun into your practice
Be able to tell people what you do in a way that makes them want it! Remember why you got into this profession in the first place!
Stop thinking like a therapist & think like a business owner Market & promote yourself in fun ways - even if you hate marketing
Turn your ideas into income streams Dissolve any fears that are holding you back

Powerful marketing strategy is critical, but it's by no means enough. It takes a systemised series of in-depth training days spanning months, that begins with a broad and deep analysis of you and your business as you are today, then the creation of a powerful step-by-step growth leap, backed up with a bullet-proof attitude and psychology of excellence.

It takes mentorship, driving forward every week by you, with my constant input and coaching. It takes accountability, encouragement, support, regular re-exposure to the game plan, and live events where we create letters, adverts, websites, emails, systems and procedures.

AND I'll Coach You For A Full 4 Weeks To Help You Step By Step To Get Out Of Debt And Grow A Nest Egg That Will Spare You From Eating Cat Food On Crackers When You're Seventy..."

Dear Financial Freedom Seeker,

FACT: One third of all borrowers lie to the bank about the real reason for taking out a loan. Did you?

If your level of debt and monthly repayments are spiralling out of control - even to the point of leaving you feeling physically sick, hopeless and in despair - then drop everything you're doing and read this critically important message, this very instant.

FACT: Parents typically spend £165,668 raising a child from birth to age 21. Are you?

If you’re as fed up as I am with crumbling bank institutions, scaremongering news headlines and the gradual creeping up of daily expenses, then I’d like to ask you to STOP and read this 5 minute message.

FACT: One in four pensioners survives on less that £7,500 per year. Could you?

If you'd like to get out of debt, get control over your money and never lose a night's sleep over finances again, then this might be the most important message you'll ever read.

Why?

If you have credit card debt that's gone wild, a mortgage that's hovering above your neck, or payments on a personal loan that knocks you overboard each and every month...then I have a solution for you:

Just Imagine...

Just imagine you could stand up in front of a group and present to them, feeling safe, calm, in control and running the room.

Picture yourself using NLP language techniques which work faster than the interventions you might already know.

How much easier would your life be knowing what you really need at the deepest level, and how to get it?

What would happen if you cleared up any hidden limiting beliefs about deserving more money that you don't know you have?

How would you like to know what's bound to be coming next in your personal growth?

And does the title "Master Practitioner of NLP" after your name appeal to you?

Is it true that you still have pain and hurt left over from the past? If you let all of that go and aligned yourself to race forward in life, who would you most like to emulate? And what skills do they have that you could learn through NLP modelling? And what if you could do all this on weekends so you don't use up all your annual leave or holidays?

You see, your unconscious mind know the root cause of EVERY problem in your life, and there are only 7. Don't believe me?

Episode 3 of NLP Master Practitioner

Part 2 of A Good NLP Master Practitioner Syllabus

NLP Master Practitioner On the Weekends

Enough’s Enough - How to make the most of the recession:

You can’t get away from the propaganda – the US stock market nosedive, home repossessions, house prices falling, banks being nationalised. Lots of people are scared and anxious about their mortgage, their job and their finances. Remember that the media make money by scaring us – the more we’re scared, the more we buy papers and watch the news. There’s no money in good news.

I’ve been watching this from the sidelines and now its time to speak up. Let’s look at things from a different angle. The fact is, people still have money – your wage hasn’t gone down, but your expenses have gone up. Chicken is more expensive, petrol, bread, everything costs more. So you probably have less disposable income per month. That means people are being cautious. They’re being more choosy about what they buy. They want to know more about the details and they want to get a good deal. But people still have needs and wants, and that means they still spend money.

Then there’s the law of cycles and rhythms – this is a sine wave, and it always turns out OK. The good times will return. Like fashion, economics, trends. Up and down then up again. There’s no need to panic. Recessions make millionaires – certain informed people make more in troubled times than in any other time in history. You can decide if you are going to struggle, or thrive in the recession…

So here’s 4 points to think about.

1. The self employed entrepreneur adapts – we’re proactive, we alter our approach. We change tack. The average person is reactive - eats up the propaganda and stays scared, at the beck and call of the media.
2. Our business relies on sales by providing valuable products and services to the public. Others care about bling, keeping up with the Jones’ and having the best toys. Expensive and superficial.
3. We think about abundance and optimising, looking for opportunities. Most of the population will focus on scarcity and will medicate themselves with food, alcohol and other numbing habits.
4. Marketing is the key – direct response marketing that asks for action. Everyone else will engage in the activity called “waiting”. Remember that waiting is an activity.

OK so there is an economic problem – that we can all agree on. But here’s the thing, in a recession people make fortunes. This is an opportunity. The average person is going to panic and freeze like a rabbit in the headlights. It’s not the economy that determines how well your business performs – it’s how you react to it.

What you need to do is to market more effectively, make your message more punchy and to the point. Increase your free taster sessions, become the industry watchdog and guided counsel. Educate your target market more and they’ll reward you with their business.

Body & Soul Event In Glasgow August

Oh dear. I used to do these events and have a stand as an exhibitor, and to be really honest, I couldn't remember why I stopped. But having done this one, now it all comes flooding back to me...

In a room full of therapists, psychics [well, some of them maybe...] and alternative retailers I set up my stand to promote my practice building programme at www.fullpractices.com I figured this was a good place to meet my target market client. There's a piccy of my stand.

I had 2 psychics on either side of me - one had a pal working the door and sending her leads, the other had loads of repeat customers from their last visit. Both saw a client every 30 minutes at £35 per time, over the 2 days. Do the math. Time to get my palmistry books out again... No problem filling their practices! Then one of the other psychics clocked them and an argument ensued. Never seen a bust up at an alternative event before.

What I found astounding was the fact that several stands in there were really quiet, yet not one of the exhibitors asked me about how I could help them. Therapists working on other therapists cos there was noone else coming close. Some stands even made it really difficult to know what they were promoting!

Didn't get many enquiries, but the ones I did get were all quality people who really want to grow their business. Some have joined Full Practices as a result. And I'm booked to do the next one, but unless I become a Druid I'm not so sure...

Can't Read Can't Write

Superb series running on Channel 4 with the rebellious [and therefore successful] Phil Beadle, who you may remember from a previous series called The Unteachables teaching equally rebellious children how to learn. This time he's got 6 months to turn a group of adults around. And its working!

"Today in Britain, over five million adults have a reading age of 12 or less or, worse, cannot read at all. From dealing with bills, letters, helping with their children's homework, shopping, and finding work, this illiteracy blights nearly every aspect of their lives, especially their self-esteem. Ashamed and embarrassed, many keep the fact that they can't read a secret, sometimes even from their own family."

I love this series - watch as a 58 year old woman who's never read a book before reads one aloud to her mother just to prove how far she's come in such a short time. And the kinesthetic learner who just wasn't "getting it" until Phil made pipe-cleaner letters on the floor and she could get her hands onto them, thus building the neurological connections. Pure NLP at its best in the real world!

There is a quick and easy 20 question free dyslexia test on the website http://www.xtraordinarypeople.com/ but this is not a diagnostic test.

Revealed: How To Get Everything You Want, & Change Anything You Don’t!

Tired of dragging around a painful past, or facing a dull looking future? GET out of your own way and meet the silent partner who's been running your life!

You can let go of past hurts, old hang-ups and bad habits that up until now you haven't been able to shake. And you can do it in September…

My name’s Jonathan Clark and I'd like to gift you a Profound Mind Technology with all of the answers to help you run your own head, reprogramme your habits and boost your self-confidence in a fun and easy way. Let me train you in HGE™

How? With my 10 day live seminar “Get Everything You Want, Change Anything You Don’t”.

There are lots of -ologies out there with no heart, that are too cold and "techniquey". They exclude people who want a more spiritual approach, are usually stuck in the 70's and haven't evolved much since then. They also tend to ignore the physical body, which is your foundation for everything else.

Instead, this 10 day course is the VERY LATEST personal development system that integrates every mind action approach you can think of, both mainstream and the esoteric, so you can change physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It even covers ALL of the NLP syllabus, and a lot more!.

You’ll get a complete training in Hypnosis for self and others, a complete training in Time Line Therapy, cutting edge emotional balance techniques and all of the surprisingly fast NLP tools for change. You'll be able to let go of any past pain or trauma in minutes not years, AND design your future the way you want it.

Finally, you'll be able to destroy problems and build new solutions, in yourself and anyone else. You'll be able to change dumb beliefs that hold you back, neutralise triggers that fire you off, and increase your motivation and confidence - all in 10 days!

How? Using simple self-relaxation exercises you'll have the key that unlocks the vault to your brain, dump the rubbish and replace them with healthier thoughts, more upbeat feelings and more useful habits.

“I have received everything I expected and a whole lot more. This has been a very emotional, fun and profound experience. If people are interested at all in growing and changing for the better, you have to start training with Jonathan!” – Liesha Ross, Firewalk Instructor

According to the Office of National Statistics, 1 in 6 adults between the ages of 16 and 74 years old have a neurotic disorder - a phobia, depression or anxiety. They also said these disorders affect women more than men. A lifetime of stress can eventually lead to physical illness and disease. Don't become another statistic…

If you could change just one thing about your feelings, beliefs or habits, what would you change?

Full Hypnosis training, Time Line Therapy and all of the NLP tools -- plus the pre-study materials on 31 CDs and a full colour 193 page, easy to read manual.

• 2 Certificates for the price of 1 – NLP and HGE™
• Full money back guarantee so your money is safe.
• Repeat the training as often as you want for only 10%
• Come back and assist me on future courses and I'll pay you.

Most people come for their own personal development. Others want to become therapists or coaches, and we can even show you how to get clients & fill your practice.

Live Phobia Cure On BBC Radio

On Friday the 11th of July I was a guest on BBC Radio Scotland's Fred MacAulay show. This was all arranged by a friend of a friend. We had a spider phobic called Martin, a tarantula called "Rosebud" and a spider handler called Clare... you can see where this is going.

Basically the challenge was could I "fix" the phobia on air in 30 minutes. The good news is I did, and the photos of Martin holding Rosebud are on my website below. The bad news is that it happened after the show in the green room!

You can listen to the replay at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cd5lz

You can see the webpage I'd already set up in advance at www.jonathanclark.org The big hairy spider pics are RIGHT at the bottom of the page [not for the feint hearted!]

Welcome Technorati

Technorati Profile

You Mean There's 4 of You?

The Kahuna explains - FORMATION OF THE 4 BODIES

The four bodies mature at different times in your life. The Emotional body develops between 18 and 22, the Mental Body between age 28 and 32, and the Spiritual Body between 38 and 42. Most people experience big shifts in their identity during those periods as the body activates and grows. How about you? These are huge learning curves, and we may or may not optimise that body’s development at that time.

The spiritual body activation is often called a “mid life crisis”. Unresolved emotional issues come up, and if they are cleared, all is well. If not, men may find problems with relationships, expressing intimacy, and family values. This can lead to heart disease if unresolved. In women, who they are and what they want comes up. If resolved, the life shocks will spill out and she’ll become very expressive. If blocked, it can cause thyroid problems. Again, all the more reason to learn Huna, build your energy and clear out any unresolved issues.

ENERGY
Mana is life force energy. It’s called Chi in China, Ki in Japan, Shakti or Prana in east Indian system. The hypnotist Mesmer called it “animal magnetism”. Huna was originally called Ho’o mana – the Hawaiians said there was only one real difference between someone who was dead and someone who was alive – one has energy, or mana. And only one’s breathing…

Really simple, and really profound. But then, profound things are really simple. Like that last sentence.

Anything that adds life – is good. Anything that takes away life/decreases aliveness is bad. So some days you have tons of energy and you race to work. Other days are heavy gravity days, when you look over the quilt, the sun is too bright, the sheet wraps itself around your ankle and you just slide slowly back into sleep…

So begin now to pay attention to the energy in your body. The Huna diet book would be one page:

Eat it and have low energy, stop eating it. Eat & energy up? Eat more!

What is your energy doing inside you? How is it feeling inside of you?

You see low levels of mana leads to sickness and dis-ease, and premature ageing. Most esoteric studies taught that if life force energy was low or depleted, or maybe stuck and stagnant, ultimately that would lead to physical dis-ease. High levels of mana leads to empowerment and health, youthfulness and longevity. Imagine sending mana up to the Higher Self, and then having it come back down into the Unconscious Mind, turbo charged. Like rocket fuel.

Max Doubt Replies: OK, so now there's 4 of me? C'mon, you only have one body and that's the one I'm about to bitchslap you with in a minute... The other things aren't 'bodies' - my emotions, my thoughts and my spiritual beliefs are just electricity and chemicals in my bloodstream, making me feel things. And they're part of me, like everyone else.

Trying to say that people go through big stuff at key ages is a big claim to make.

Mid life crisis is just you looking back and taking stock - there's nothing "spiritual" to it, its just time to add up the scores on the doors and see how well, or how badly, you've played the game. And its a good excuse to start chasing skirt that's half your age! I'll show you some animal magetism darlin'....

Profound things are really simple yeah - like this is all tree-hugging hippy crap! See? Simple!

By the way, its a well known fact that every animal that eats gets tired afterwards cos it's digesting the food and that takes it out of you - Christmas pudding and the Queen's speech - works every time.

Who's right? VOTE NOW!

What Exactly Is A Kahuna, And Where Do I Buy One?

The Kahuna went on…

Let’s start with the definition of word “Kahuna”

Ka the light
Huna secret, spiritual, concealed knowledge or wisdom protected like a treasure
Kahu honoured or high servant who takes charge of persons, property or knowledge
Na calm, centred, balanced

So a Kahuna is anyone with specialised knowledge, PhD, a Jedi Master. Someone who protected a state of calmness and balance. Keeper of the calm, centred state. There were all types of Kahuna – in politics, government, planting, fishing, child birth, negotiation, farming, canoe building, navigation, tiki (statue) carving. The areas we’re interested in here include:

La’au Lapa’au doctors of medicine, herbal
La’au Kahea Literally “We call the medicine” - psychologists, faith healers
Kilikilo prediction, divination, runes
Na’auao mystics

It is rumoured that Huna was the secret teaching behind all other secret teachings. Certainly there are legends of an advanced island civilisation sinking and the people of the land sailing to the four corners of the globe, talking their lore with them. The Hawaiian islands are mountain tops centred on a tectonic plate resting above an active hotspot. The volcano on the Big Island is active to this day.

Polynesian is the oldest language on the planet. In fact 80% of the content of Huna has never been published in writing. Originally it was called “Ho’o mana”.

Ho’o = to make
Mana = Energy, Chi, Ki, Life force [as in mana from heaven]
Ho’o Mana = empowering yourself.

Think about it - everything you do requires energy, and the more energy you have, the longer you will live, and the more you can do with your life. Huna is all about making connections with sources of Mana. Now that may sound weird and “out there” to you, but there are corresponding systems that you may already be familiar with:

Having a Higher Self/Guardian Spirit— Native American, Hermetic(western Europe) and alchemy
4/5 Elements— Alchemy, Hermetics, Egyptian Magic, Tantra, Western and Japanese astrology
Entering the Dream Time (Moe Uhane)— Native American, Maori in New Zealand, Aborigine in Australia.
Herbs in Healing— Native American, Chinese, etc.
Energy Healing— Philippines psychic surgery, Reiki, Chinese Acupuncture
Numerology— Cabalah, Pythagoras, Japanese astrology, numbers and their vibrational essence
Astrology— Most systems use the stars and planets to predict
Chanting - Native American, Aborigine, Maori, Tantra

Of course these should all correspond if they all came from the same source…? Now is the time for the revival of ancient teachings – a shift is occurring…

Max Doubt’s response?

One way to “big up” yourself is to give yourself a fancy shmancy title! I thought a Ka was a crap motor!

You hear the words “Na” and “Ho!” on the streets of Glasgow ever day!

Methinks that these people keep a calm centred state by smokin’ the wacky backy!

See, you lost me at “faith healer” – are you honestly yelling me that people believe in this hokum? That I can heal myself through the power of spirit or divine intervention or whatever mumbo jumbo you’re pushing? I’ll stick with crawling up to the health centre and coming back with a bottle of penicillin mate! That’s white man’s “Ju ju”

Prediction and runes- it gets worse. You can find these freaks at any health fair, pretending they can read the future from the shape of your belly button fluff. Please! I predict I’m going to stop reading this shortly.

Come back Arthur C. Clarke, all is forgiven.

You get energy from calories, which is food and drink. And the occasional can of Red Bull. Looking at the average Hawaiian I’ve seen on TV there’s no shortage of McDonalds on those islands!

The Muppets had a song about this. “Mana mana doo doo do do do”

Wait a minute – Tantra you say? That’s that kinky stuff that Sting gets up to? Now this might be getting interesting…

Its your turn – tell us who’s right HERE

Can't Accept You If You'll Misuse It

The Kahuna was explaining that there are numerous ways to express the same thing. Sometimes people get caught up in their philosophy, getting almost righteous about it and that’s always bothered her. People try and tell you the real reason why something is the way it is. According to whom right? And in the process of teaching this she’s trying to stay true and to honour the original teachings.

Any training in esoteric studies should increase the positive character traits in the student. I think we’d all agree with that? It should bring increasing balance of the mind. What is the point of achieving a connection with the creator and infinite possibility, if you lose your rationality, livelihood, possessions and friends? The result should always be balance. You have 4 aspects to your personality – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – any esoteric study should balance all of these. If not, there’s something wrong…

The Huna author Laura Kealoha Yardley said that “The key to becoming a strong, self-contained Kahuna means creating an inner balance so strong that nothing in the external material world or the internal spiritual world can throw one off centre without the individual being aware of it and possessing the ability to re-establish that balance at will. The reason for this is that balance is not a static state that, once achieved, remains forever. Balance is ever changing, constantly shifting and rearranging itself in order to be established. There is no such thing as static balance. Therefore, in order to experience balance, a Kahuna must learn to constantly shift and rearrange himself or herself according to the exterior world he or she is experiencing. And experience is the key.”

And no real teacher would ever withhold knowledge from anyone who was worthy to receive it. On the other hand, he or she cannot accept as a pupil someone who would misuse that knowledge or betray that trust.

Max Doubt’s response: Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. And facts are facts – you can’t argue with facts. This is the way it is – this is all there is. I believe it when I see it. I can touch it, see it, smell it – it’s real. There ain’t anything else.

OK, I can understand being true to your roots. But what’s this Hawaiian mumbo-jumbo got to do with the price of cheese?

Increase positive traits? Dunno about that. People are people, and they don’t change. I’ve been hoping the wife would change for years! Nah, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

My connection with my creator will be when I pop my clogs! But, I do agree with the old dame – if you’re expecting me to shave my head and wear robes then you can shove it! That’s a quick way to lose my friends all right!

There’s the physical yes – me, my car, my house and my money. And my kids. That’s the emotional part. And yeah it can be mental! Spiritual I’ll leave to the happy clappys and the bible bashers.

Listen, shit happens, that’s all there is to it. You deal with it. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Balance IS ever shifting – especially after a few pints!

And as for trust – you keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

Join The Great Debate...

The Kahuna sat on a tall stool in the room with the lights turned down a little, and her students sat looking up at her in expectation of what was to come. They were a small group of enthusiastic beginners who’d heard stories about Hawaiian Huna and were keen to learn more.

“Aloha!” she began, which means welcome, share my breath[ha], share my space.

We’re going to explore some of the ancient teachings of old Hawaii – get our hands into some real hands on concepts you can take away and use after this week. We’re going to be talking about Spiritual growth, healing and psychology in an art that was rich in language, song and legends. Now Huna’s not for everyone – some people see it and are turned off by the “s” word – spirituality. So it can be a tricky subject to look at. I’d like to show you some ancient ways that I’ve looked into and I’ve certainly had my horizons expanded as a result, and I hope you’ll have the same insights.

These concepts are easy to learn, and easy to use in daily life. There are some gems here that you’ll find nowhere else. So lets begin, and the best way to begin is to begin at the beginning…. And so let’s begin in the ancient way with a chant. In Hawaii the highest compliment you can pay someone is to write a song for someone, or better, sing a song to them…. This is a traditional chant to the goddess Laka, and it says:

Oh goddess Laka
0 wildwood bouquet, 0 Laka
0 Laka, queen of the voice
0 Laka, giver of gifts
0 Laka, giver of bounty
0 Laka, giver of all things
I greet you with love.

The Initiation Chant: “E Laka E”

E Laka e
Pupu we'uwe'u, e Laka e
E Laka i ka leo
E Laka i ka loa'a
E Laka i ka wai wai
E Laka i na mea a pau
Ano ai ke aloha e

…and with that, they’d begun.

Max Doubt says: Oh here we go – a happy clappy new age meeting! Room full of saddos who need to get out more. And to think they’re actually paying for this!

For starters, we’re not Hawaiian, so who cares? Give me some fags, Big Brother and a Saturday night out and I’m a happy man. I mean, what else is there?

Spiritual growth? I’ll show you a 50 year old malt whiskey – now that’s spiritual growth! Listen, here’s the deal - you’re born, you work hard and if you’re lucky you get a watch, then you die. End of. Nothing more to it. No afterlife, no higher power – you’re just gone. Game over. El deleto.

All of this pseudo-religious stuff is just a fall back option for folk who need propping up. Life’s hard – live with it. We’ve all got battle scars, and it toughens you up. Life’s really simple – learn your craft, work hard, save the pennies and hope for the best, because that’s all there is. And if you’re lucky you make it to the end with all your faculties. Some poor buggers don’t – they get kept in the basement for 20 years, or gassed by their suicidal Dad’s exhaust fumes. That’s them, not me. Nothing I can do about it.

And there’s the kicker – a Hawaiian chant?! I’ve always been a good wee chanter myself! But C’mon, what’s that all about? GET A LIFE!

Meditation On The Spanish Retreat

This week I'm in the Murcia region of Spain at the world class La Manga resort. Walking up the hill in the blazing sunshine I said to Cheryl that I didn't feel any real connection with Spain. Totally unlike Hawaii, where everyting is sacred - the
trees, the winds, the land, the rocks. To me, and only having been here for 3 days, I felt no affinity or bond with this country.

Then Cheryl made me stop and wonder - she said that was because I'd had no spiritual training or history with Spain, whereas I first started studying Hawaiian Huna in 1996 and then subsequently trained in Hawaii over two and a half years. And I've
often said that when my feet touched the ground in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, I immediately felt that "homecoming" feeling that I'd only ever read about. In sharp contrast, Spain felt arid, dry and impersonal.

Until today - today we spent the afternoon at La Cala [pictured above] - a small, private beach surrounded by tall cliffs and thrashing ocean, and there I felt compelled to repeat a 5 Element Meditation on the lava rocks jutting out into the sea, just as I'd done at the city of refuge Ho'naunau in Hawaii...

Feeling the scorching fire element on my skin, thankfully cooled by the air element of the sea breeze, sitting on roasting hot lava rock with sand particles between my toes connecting me back to earth. All the while looking out over the powerful water element rhythmically pounding the outcrop down to a smooth, polished ramp that slopes steeply into the frothing waves...

And then it struck me - the five elements have no nationality, no regional accent and no political preference. They're just there. Ever present. It doesn't matter where you are. The Hawaiians say Hawaii is a place inside you - its a feeling - its
a connectedness to the five elements [including the etheric I'o that permeates everything] that make up everything, even you and me.

So Spain now feels different. Or rather, I do. I had a hunch that coming to Spain to run a Retreat would have other effects on me...

Life Coach & Therapist Training Funded For You...Or Not?

As you did your training to become a Life Coach or Therapist, you might have come across training providers who were members of the Career Development Loan scheme.

This arrangement allows you to take out a loan from a high steet bank to fund your training, and you pay it back as you go along. Its a fairly good way for people to fund their qualifications.

Now I've run over 20 NLP Practitioner Certifications over the last 7 years and had Registered Provider status with the CDL organistion since 2003. After a
cabinet reshuffle within that organisation, I was recently asked to renew my status by reapplying. The whole process took over 2 months waiting to hear back from them.

Imagine my surprise last week when I was told they rejected my application, on the grounds that, and I quote: "There is no evidence to suggest that an NLP Practitioner can make an adequate income doing NLP".

I'd better go back to a 5 figure income and start lookin for a real job then...

Know Your Debt Consolidation Options And Avoid The Money Minefield

Standing in the gents loo in a service station on the M76 last week, I was reading one of those strategically placed posters. It gave an example of a couple £30,000 in credit card debt and paying over £700 per month in loans.

The poster claimed that after using the advertised service, they were now paying £300 per month and would be debt free in 2 years. Then I read the very small print, and I was ready to write to trading standards [if only my hands weren’t full at the time].

If I could sum up the pros and cons of 9 of the most often peddled debt-recovery options (including bankruptcy, debt consolidation, and IVAs), then you will gain an insight into why I usually advise against each and every one, and why I almost insist you do too.

Bankruptcy – Huge social stigma attached to it, takes years to shake off afterwards, your self-esteem and credibility will take a hard knock – this is the last resort. It will be displayed in the local newspaper under Public Notices. Anything of value that you have, or acquire, can be seized to pay off the debt. You have to shut down any and all bank and building society accounts so you can’t get paid by BACS. And with no ability to set up Direct Debits, Standing Orders or cash cheques, you’d better get familiar with the Post Office, cos you’ll be in the queue a lot from now on.

Informal agreements – you write and ask for a compromise, and a renegotiated timetable for repayment. Not legally binding though, so they can revoke it at will. Speak to Citizens Advice about it.

Debt management – some companies will offer to act as middle man and will charge a fee to handle your affairs for you. This usually means lower monthly payments and over a longer term. Sounds good, but overall you end up paying more in the long run, so you’re actually getting in deeper.

Credit counsellors – Professional advice freely available. They may even negotiate terms for you with your creditors. Watch out for cowboys who offer to clean your credit record for large fees [I fell for that one once]. Watch out for heavy sales patter and pressure.

Remortgage – borrow more money against the equity in your home. Good way of reducing the interest rate, but beware of adding credit card debt to a mortgage. That £3000 holiday may now take 25 years to pay off, making it more like a £12,000 holiday long term. Hope the beaches were nice. You’ve also just turned an unsecured debt [your home under no risk] into a secured debt [you’d better glue it to the ground!]

Individual Voluntary Agreements – a third party acts as middle man between you and the creditors, usually over 5 years. Repayments are renegotiated, and sometimes small balances are written off. However, there are admin costs and that puts you more in the red.

Administration – If there are CCJ’s against you then an administration order may be issued. You pay through the court, but if you later break the agreement, it’s as bad as bankruptcy long term.

Debt consolidation – you see these ads on TV every day. Pile all of your debts into one to them, and now the only people who need paid is the debt consolidation company. Lower payments, and longer to pay them, which looks good on paper. Simplifies the whole picture, because now its one debt. But the monthly fees stack up and again long term you end up paying more.

Personal loan – you go to your bank and ask for a good deal. As an existing customer they will probably offer you a good deal. But again look what you’ve really done – never mind Peter, you’ve just robbed Paul to pay the next guy in the line…

The simple solution is to dig yourself out of the hole, make amicable arrangements with your creditors, increase your income, decrease your outgoings and get to work working your plan. There's virtually no debt situation that cannot be recovered, and recovered quite quickly.
