Many people I have had the pleasure to meet are in business for themselves. As a consequence of the many challenges of never having a steady paycheck, these people are presented with numerous opportunities to self-evolve. When I think about it though, are we not all in business for ourselves, even if we work for another organization? The people who make a difference within an organization, those who contribute from a place of wholeness and integrity are most definitely entrepreneurs. They perceive the possibility of something great when everyone around them only perceives what is broken or hopeless. My thoughts for this newsletter take me to a few of the gems that have assisted me throughout a career spanning over thirty years as a entrepreneur. These seven precepts are what saved me during the darkest times of uncertainty, and they hold true to this day:

1. Align your work, whatever it is with your values. Know what is really important to you.
2. Live your values in thought and in action. This builds self esteem and self worth.
3. From a deep foundation of self worth your character will be built.
4. Your character will act as a magnet for opportunity.
5. Design your beliefs to support your possibilities. Mediocre beliefs will produce mediocre results. Learn the technology to shift from limiting belief patterns to un-limiting ones. Your beliefs will drive your passion or kill it.
6. Embrace the attitude even when you have no experience to support it.
7. Don’t wait for things to happen; invest your money and time in things that will help you succeed. You are the source, not the recipient, of life.

The most important decision you will ever make in business, is the sale of your worth to yourself. To create professional success requires you to immediately and continuously take ownership of the power that is you, and the only moment of power you will ever have is now. Once now is gone, you have missed the opportunity forever. Act as if your every word, thought, and action were building the success of your tomorrows, for in truth they are!

Be Flexible

Specificity is a tenet of the HNLP model of communication. The specifics of your speech produce the emotions you feel. When you speak with specificity, it awakens your emotions so that your subconscious can more accurately manifest your spoken word. When your spoken word is aligned with your heartfelt emotions, creation begins.

Have you ever sat in an audience and listened to a presenter speak from a place that was not connected to his/her heart? How did you feel when that happened? When a presenter speaks distinctly from the heart, what does it do to you? What would happen if every word you uttered was distinctly from your heart? How much more impact would you have as you walked in the world?

Of course, it’s easy to be clever with words. But being clever and speaking wholeheartedly are not necessarily the same thing. Maybe you know this already. How often have you held back in your speech because you sensed that such heartfelt words would have too powerful a result?

Your thoughts and your language are creative. As you think and speak, you produce emotions, and those emotions create new neuro-networks in the brain and throughout the body. The electrical charge from your thoughts will follow the path of least resistance, and through classical conditioning and repetition, those thoughts and repeated emotional states form deeper and more complex neuro-networks until they harden into your character. This is how you reinvent yourself physiologically over and over again. Using specific perceptual patterns unique to you, you have habitually thought, languaged, imagined, and felt you into existence.

This can go on forever, but it’s your choice who you will create next. When you are alert to the specifics you stay emotionally connected to your language. Emotions are the key to creating new ways of creating the you that you desire to become. Vague, generalized language is a form of fear and does not produce enough specificity for your subconscious to manifest your word. Your subconscious mind interprets feeling as fact. By asking simple questions such as Who? When? What? Where? With whom? and How? you can produce the emotions that will manifest desired outcomes.

Stop speaking about the past and focus on your outcomes for the future using specifics. Experience the feeling of your dream already manifested. This will bring your future to now, manifesting your destiny with every word you speak.

Conversely, the less you use outcome specific language and the more you disconnect emotionally from your dream, the more you will distance yourself from your divine right to create your life from your heartfelt desires. When you speak with specificity, you begin to feel more deeply, more accurately, more powerfully. Specificity drives the emotional body. Once you understand how it is you create and what filters you are using to interpret the world, you can change how you create and filter in the future. You can manifest choice. This is the goal for all practitioners of HNLP because scarcity of choice is the greatest source of pain you will ever feel. And abundance of choice will be your greatest joy. Choose your language carefully.

How We Think

We have no requirement to find God; we are already found. Yet, on some days, suffering appears to be both all around us and within us. How is this so?

Have you ever put a stick in a pond and watched how the ripples distort your reflection? All you have to do to be found by God, whatever or whomever you deem God to be, is take the stick out of the pond, let the water’s surface become smooth, and see who you are. That stick represents your fear, and it represents the victim archetype. The image you see in the pond looking back at you is a reflection of the internal representations in your mind, many of which are buried in your subconscious.

But you are not a victim of your subconscious any more than you are compelled by some imaginary force to place the stick in the pond.

When you feel like a victim it is because you feel as if you have no choices. Now, what would happen if you learned how the mind this force with eight million miles of zeroes of possibilities behind, it actually worked? What if you knew how it constructed your reality? What if you then learned how to deconstruct your reality and rebuild it into something joyful?

The subconscious is in fact a powerful gateway to these millions of functions buried within the human mind. Of course, our lives are too harried to consciously activate every single one of those functions; however, at the subconscious level, the possibilities are countless if they are not completely endless (eight million miles, for the purpose of this discussion, might as well be infinity!).

If we agree that there are millions of functions, literally millions of possibilities resting like an unopened gift beneath your cranium, then not learning how to direct those functions robs you and the world around you of your own human potential. By learning how to direct the subconscious mind, you acquire the ability to create, to potentialize. In turn, your life and the world around you changes radically.

All the world religions say man and woman are made in the image and likeness of God. The one thing that all world religions can agree upon is that God is creative. So, if we are made in the image and likeness of this thing called God, does that not presuppose that we create?

You are consciously creating the world moment by moment. At any time you can take the stick out of the pond and say, “If I knew that I had choice in my life and that I could direct my subconscious to actually make outcomes happen, then would I be in as much fear? Or would I be in that slipstream of the creative power that gives me choice, that takes me out of fear and allows me to be still?

The principal responsibility we each have is to awaken our ability to transform fear into its opposite. The technology is available. The only question to be answered is, will you learn it? And in the stilling of your story of what did and did not happen to you, you will see your reflection, your divine reflection, and realize all things past, present, and to come are designed to return you back to love. This is conscious creation. This is the power of HNLP.

Have You Heard?

 My lifes work as a trainer, coach, and master practitioner of  Humanistic, Neuro-Linguistic, Physiology (HNLP). Whatever major change you are seeking, be it related to your career, your relationships, your business venture, or anything else that matters to you. You cannot move forward with purpose and intent unless you first understand the workings of your mind.

This is because:

Nothing happens without someone thinking, feeling, or saying it first.

While pop psychology may teach you that greatness is about attitude, positive thinking, or even manipulating your environment to better serve your own ends, I am here to share with you a different paradigm entirely. Through “Changes” my Newsletter, you will be accessing ideas and insights simply not found anywhere else on the Internet, on television, or even in a book (although that’s coming soon!). I will share with you the tools and methods I have used for almost 25 years to help thousands of people around the world discover their purpose and live in complete alignment with that purpose. So get ready for a wonderful ride you simply cannot afford to miss. And remember, Changes is always 100% free. You may forward any issue of Changes to friends or colleagues whom you feel would benefit from our inspirational teachings. I look forward to sharing with you.
