The greatest
Several months ago I had the opportunity to work with Inga Chamberlain. I've spent most of my life dieting and was tired of always gaining the weight back.
Inga's skills as a hypnotherapist and coach are extraordinary. She seemed to know just the right approach. I have now lost over 30 lbs and look forward to continuing to make positve changes in my self . There truly are no quick fixes but with the right mind set, its possible to lose weight and keep it off.
The Secret Behind the Secret
Everyone has heard of the “Secret” and many people try to live what they understand the secret to be. They think that if they focus on what they want to the exclusion of all else they will receive from the universe everything they desire. One thing they overlook is the fact that with the law of attraction there is action that needs to follow the thought. The other thing these seekers overlook is the fact that they are incapable of exclusively thinking in any particular way.
Changing the way you think is impossible when done in the conscious mind. The conscious mind acts as a filter and colors our perception of everything. The only way to change your thinking is to overcome the repetitive negative thinking that has been programmed into your subconscious. Once the thoughts change you will at least be capable of thinking and focusing the way you would like.
But I still hear people say to me that they believe if they sit on their couch and focus on manifesting business it will simply flow to them. This was never written in the law of attraction. The law of attraction states that there must be action in order for anything to manifest in your life. Also it doesn’t say when this will happen. So the seed time or the time it takes to manifest has to be considered as well.
As is the case with the supposed real estate gurus, the law of attraction teachers are making money not from using the secret. They are making money teaching everyone else about the secret. If the secret worked in the way that these teachers say it does there should then be millions of people who are now manifesting wealth and abundance all over the place.
When you change your thinking you change yourself. hypnosis/NLP is one of the fastest ways to change your thinking. But simply thinking positive is not enough. To become truly successful in life takes action. Using hypnosis and NLP creates within the ability to overcome old negative programming which is the cause of procrastination. In other words when you get out of your own way you can accomplish amazing things. Getting your thoughts to be congruent with your goals and then taking action to accomplish them is the true SECRET.

New Year’s Goals that Work
Every year people set New Year’s Resolutions and every year they forget about them within a couple of weeks. The average person doesn’t even make it to 1 month post New Years on working toward a goal.
What is the reason for this? As an expert in human behavior it is obvious that these people are not truly committed to these goals. Also the goals themselves are not crafted in a way that will drive the goal setter toward achievement. The “resolutions” are generally not specific. The fact is that the most well defined goals are the easiest to achieve. Take for example stopping smoking. This is one specific habit and so once you add a time frame with the day you will stop and you commit to it you will stop smoking.
The commitment to achieving the goal is the other key to success. This is the part where I see the most problems. It is not possible to totally commit to 10 goals at once. In fact 3 goals is the maximum that should be set at any given time in order for them to be achieved. If you have a goal to lose weight, spend more time with family, exercise more. Those three goals will require a large investment of time in order to achieve.
So how do you write achievable goals? I like to use a modified SMART goals format.
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Realistic
- Timed
- Inspired
I added the inspired because I find that without having an emotional connection or true commitment to having the goal you will not achieve it. By setting goals that can be achieved and connecting to the feeling of having a specific goal you make the process of change smoother and take the guess work out of effective goal setting.

Psychology Of The Stock Market
The stock market and its downward motion are at the top of the news today. Market strategists know that when the market drops it creates a psychology of fear and results in the market dropping further and creating even more fear. Since most Americans have their savings and retirement disappearing at record rates is it any wonder that fear runs rampant today? The problem with all this is that at some point someone or something needs to create confidence in the markets ability to grow. The downward momentum needs to be stopped and turned around. The stock market is a great analogy for the human mind. When we perceive a threat we go into the "fight or flight" response. This response is no longer needed in the same way as it was thousands of years ago. Consistently triggering this response is not only physically unhealthy but also creates Anxiety, panic attacks and sometimes even phobic reactions. This increase in fear, increases stress hormones. This increase in stress hormones triggers more feelings of Anxiety and fear. Not only that but excess cortisol actually shrinks the brain. It becomes an unhealthy downward spiral. Most readers of this article will now be ruminating on the stock market and their brains destruction. But all is not lost. We may not be able to control the stock markets, or the world at large. But we can control our perception of reality. Because it is that perception that creates our world. Every person has a different perception of reality. One person might see the market swings as opportunity for personal growth. While another simply gets so freaked out that they make bad decisions and make their situation even worse. Some great ways to stop the mental spiral are:
- Take a break from the news. Unless you are going to do something with the information watching things seem to worsen only makes you feel worse.
- Change the way you think. By shifting negative, fearful thoughts and consciously changing them to positive you can have a huge impact on your mind set.
- Get perspective by feeling grateful for what you have.
- Take some action. Well considered action will give you heightened feelings of control.
- Laugh more. Take the time to read or watch something funny or inspirational.
- Get some exercise. It’s a great way to burn off extra cortisol and you might even lose some weight.
And remember, the only thing we can control is our perception of reality. So choose a better way of seeing things, change your thinking and you change your life.

Paralyzed by Fear
Are you paralyzed by fear? Powerful words indeed. Or as FDR once stated, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Another incredibly powerful statement of the power that fear exerts over all of us. So what is it about fear that makes it such a powerful emotion?? Its power lies in our instinct to survive. That primal, basic part of the brain, the limbic system sounds the alarm and then a cascade of neurologic activity follows. The fear response is based upon our memories and experiences, our learned fears from the past. However worries and anxieties are out in our future. So obviously since it helps us to survive we need it, right? We need fear as a call to action when something dangerous to our survival happens. However as FDR so succinctly stated, fear is something to be feared as well. The problem lies in too much fear. Unrelenting chronic fear is based on the possibility of danger and is derogatory to our health and wellbeing. It creates high levels of stress hormones and that creates disease. Also unrealistic fears or phobias are capable of totally controlling our lives. So what else can we learn about fear? It is based on the past and we can trigger it by worrying about the future. But right now there is no fear. If we stay in the present moment. We let go of old memories and fears from our past and stop focusing on the possibility of terrible things happening in our future. Fear disappears. In order to do this we need to change the way we think. We need to take back some of the control. Fear is an out of control emotion. If you let circumstances control you when good things happen then you will also allow fear and negativity to rule your life when things are not going well. As reasonable people we need to be living in reality. If things are really in a negative place in your life then thinking to yourself that your life is great is a delusion. However when things are going well in life and we spend our free time worrying about what might happen to change our life for the negative, that is also deluded thinking. So many business people today whether in sales or as an entrepreneur are finding their production and effectiveness declining due to fear. Fear has always been a problem in sales and many others in business people have fear evidenced as procrastination and Anxiety. Overcoming fear is simple and yet as many simple things it can be fairly complex as well. Just change the way you think, right? Oftentimes that is easier said than done When things go in a less then positive direction in my life I get into training for success…. 1. Change self talk using: Gratitude meditation self-hypnosis 2. Take control of your body/exercise to get out of fear. 3. Role model /have a vicarious experience of success. 4. Take action feel the fear and do it anyway. 5. Visualize what you want and not what you fear. By utilizing these techniques you will gain a feeling of control and soon fear will be a thing of the past.

What Makes a Better Salesperson?
There are many traits that make up someone who is the consummate salesperson. Things like confidence, elegant communication, empathy, the closing instinct and the ability to motivate oneself without instant gratification.
So you are not a “salesperson”. Why should you keep reading? Because anyone who is an entrepreneur or just wants to be more successful in personal relationships can benefit by being better at influencing others. I could go into the details at length of how to be better at selling. In fact I will go into some of those details next time. But today I am going to tell you the one thing that sets the average sales person, entrepreneur or business person apart from those who really succeed. That thing is the desire to constantly improve.
Whether it’s improving your close ratio or your attitude. The best sales people are the ones who constantly learn the techniques that will set them apart from the rest. They don’t “try” anything. What they do is take committed action.
I recently conducted a sales training for a large bank. I taught them techniques from NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) which they could use to up there close ratio and also tools to keep a consistent positive attitude. Afterwards I had several account executives come to me for more info on my sales performance program. When I spoke to their national sales manager at the close of the seminar, she mentioned how it was the top reps who were interested in the program. She wondered how to get the average reps to be more motivated. This is a common dilemma, without the desire to learn and improve those sales reps will remain average.
So the question is do you want to be average? If not then get up, get out and learn or do something new. Because if you do what you have always done you will get the same results you have always gotten.
