      Tell me what are you going to do with your successful business once you are a Master Trainer?
      If you have read and done Project No. 1 and Project 1a. you have noticed that there is a bigger goal I asked you to think of, which is beyond your individual business goal. I am asking you to think much bigger. This bigger goal is connected to your life path, to your mission in life, and to your life values. This is a goal which is bigger than the mundane activities that we are all concerned with in our daily lives. This purpose could be at planetary level that truly influences masses of people and creates a transformative wave not only for you personally but which
      a) Is bigger than you
      b) Is driving and motivating you when you encounter difficulties so you can get past them
      c) Takes care of ecology
      d) Gives you the bigger umbrella and (possibly) pushes you through to higher values levels thinking
      e) Takes into account the previous question: what are you going to do with your successful business once you are a Master Trainer?

      You already know ours: TRANSFORM THE PLANET one person at the time, by working with the mind (as in mind clarity, critical thinking, freedom of thought and emotion, growth of consciousness and awareness, etc., etc!
      Post all your answers in the forum. I will be looking for them.

      The way I see it…Master Trainers train Trainers…and the biggest downhill ripple effect a person in the field of NLP can create is when they’re at the level of a Master Trainer. Knowing that when more people are awake…the planet will become more awake and maybe just maybe we can course correct the future timeline and direction of this planet. That’s what gets me out of bed everyday and keeps me going no matter how I feel everyday.

      Right there with you Steph. The future is not written. We are writing it every day by our actions and level of awareness. Each of us counts, and all of us together, we can make a huge impact for positive change. If people’s thinking is awake as you say, and really critical, if they learn how to question (by the correct understanding of language) we can create a future which is way beyond ad above what we imagine today because creativity and imagination is then doubled up by the ability to think freely and the mind is not constrained by propaganda and carefully crafted language techniques. There is no price one can pay for that! Now that’s really a big picture I want to be involved in and I hope many others will join. It makes life worth living and getting out of bed every day to go to work!!!!

      This is an idea I have played with and thought about for a while

      After loosing my mate when he was 28 after he took his own life and seeing how his life evolved and started heading down hill from about the age of 16, I have wanted to have the ability to give back to the community in the form of a foundation and network of coaches that can assist teenage kids, especially boys that may not be able to afford coaching services, but really really want to do what it takes to be on their correct path in life.

      Assisting the young adults of tomorrow be their best.

      My vision is to assist the evolution of people to be their best for a better world

        Hey Cameron, it is always the tough events that change our lives, isn’t it? But your goal, and your vision is worth living for. You can make such a difference in the lives of many young people (because this is what teenage kids are) who get trapped in despair, confusion and hopelessness. We are right here with you and hopefully though everything that we share here on the forum, and the projects that we’ll do together, we will be able to assist you in fulfilling this goal. Yes, stuff like this make a career worth having!!! It is a purpose bigger than you! Wonderful!

      My biggest goal is making positive mental health accessible to everyone. How best to do this by educating the masses? Why is it that if we cut ourselves or have the flu or broken a bone, we have no hesitation but rush to the doctors? Why is that if we have something broken inside our minds, we do not seek help? Is it the cost or is it not admitting that we need help? And why must most people wait until their minds are so broken before they seek help (or education)? I imagine a world where it is OK to seek help to become a better version of ourselves. I imagine a world, rich or poor can access psychoeducation about thinking critically and how to use the powers of their mind to achieve goals and how to live healthier and happier lives. We have Maths, Chemistry, Biology and so forth as part of our curriculum but why is critical thinking and how to use the powers of our mind not taught, unless we pursue it for ourselves as personal development? I have a big dream indeed but I also know that big dreams need to start with big and small steps. I welcome everyoneโ€™s input in making the essential steps. I’m also superbly excited I can be supervised by Adriana to turn this dream into reality.

        I like what you say: “Why is that if we have something broken inside our minds, we do not seek help? ” I guess there is a complete blackout in regards to the mind. I keep saying in the trainings that the biggest war that’s always been perpetrated on humanity is the war on human mind and yet, very few people pay attention to their own minds. Somewhere the connection between the ability to have an awakened mind and the results in life (not only business, but also in general health, happiness, wellbeing, satisfaction and the like) is broken. As I said in the webinar, very few people understand that the mind is the builder. If the mind is not thinking critically, clearly, and is lured into the confusing maze of beliefs, values and decisions suitable for the control system, then nothing else will work to one’s fulfillment of ones life in general. It is not understood that one creates with the mind – this is where everything starts. Then is the part of taking action. The control system, whenever it is – and it is different from generatin to generation- has only one purpose: to strengthen itself. Individuals don’t matter. I wrote a lot about this in the “Values and the Evolution of Consciousness” book. Growing up in an oppressive system, I learned this at an early age. Did everyone learn this? No! This is why, if we really want to make a difference AND in the process continue our own development, here is where we come in and show people through the trainings we do how to free this part of themselves (the mind). Once they accomplish this, everything else changes.
        As about the small steps, here is where we’ll do that together, one step at the time. Master that one, and then we move on.

      For me, as a Master trainer I am going to help people become empowered and be the Masters of their own lives. Help them move to Cause and realize that it is up to each and every one to be awaken and to get the results they want. To know what they want. To acknowledge that they can create freely & ecologically what they want in their lives.
      Also to understand that this Mastery is a daily practice and habit and is the most engaging and rewarding practice of your life.

      My vision is to influence as many as I can to develop their minds and consciousness which will empower them to let go of the things and the patterns that hold them back so they can realize their full potential. One person at a time I have focused on. Becomming a trainer means that I can influence so many more. To make it a bit more personal I have a heart for the vulnerable and oppressed in our community – maybe levels 1 and 2 and 3 and even 4!! in some respects. I want to train the professionals who work with these vulnerables in NLP Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy(R) so they can influence effectively also. I just feel called to help people reach their full potential starting with myself and contribute to transforming the planet.

        That’s good Georgina. That’s so big it’s beyond you and you alone. This has the potential of driving and motivating you even when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or when you encounter challenges in business and life for that matter. That’s the whole thing!
        Funny though…oh, not funny as ha!ha! But funny as in very good because without thinking of it, you are already on your way of clearly defining your niche. I am impressed with the clarity you have. You don’t go for “everything”, but for defining those people in your field who are open and looking for “something else” thus teaching them TLT as a modality of intervention. This is a clearly defined niche already, and as we get to the project of defining your niche, you are already several steps ahead as you will see. That’s about your niche. You may end up teaching them everything anyway, but what you teach and how you define your niche are two different things. Good job!

      As we will see the Big Question is incredibly relevant in what your niche is concerned. Do not take this project lightly. Do it thoroughly. I know many of you are impatient. How do i find the niche, how to i do my marketing? you ask. Finding your niche and doing your marketing require some specific thinking. We are teaching you here how to get here and all the steps we take ARE PART OF THIS! So stay with the program, and understand that all the steps we take are part of what you are searching for. Everything we do now is part of your marketing and sales, and networking and finding your niche.
      Here is a little tidbit from the “Finding Your Niche” file I will post for you when we get to that project. This project will be full of specific steps you will take, action calls, and so on. But patience, we’ll get there soon!

      “A business enterprise has two basic functions: marketing and innovation. If we want to know what a business is, we have to start with its purpose. [Thatโ€™s why I asked you to chunk up to the bigger picture of the bigger picture as in Project 1b. If you did that correctly now you already have that piece of the puzzle. If you did not complete Project 1b go back and do it now.]

      And the purpose must lie outside the business itself. In fact, it must lie in society, since a business enterprise is an organ of society. [This has to do with YOUR impact in the world around you and I gave you as a challenge, your impact on the whole evolution of the planet, if this is your calling. If not, then find what it is, something big, bigger than you and something you may not ever complete in this lifetime but worth waking up every morning, something that is your calling, that you know life is worth living for.]

      There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer. The customer is a foundation of a business and keeps it in existence. The customer alone gives employment. And it is to supply the customer that society entrusts wealth-producing resources to the business enterprise.
      Because it is the purpose to create a customer, any business enterprise has two โ€“ and only two โ€“ basic functions: marketing and innovation. These are the entrepreneurial functions. Marketing is the distinguishing, the unique function of the business.โ€

      The quote comes from one of the originators of business consulting, Dr. Peter Drucker

      Ha, what is beyond me… Transforming people’s lives for the better. Be an inspiration for them in not giving up on themselves but standing up for themselves. Assist them in becoming aware of their purpose in life and of the fact that they are in charge of writing and re- writing their own story every day with the choices they make, the beliefs, values and attitudes they hold, with the actions they take. Whenever things don’t go their way or feeling stuck, whenever being blinded by a problem that drains out all the energy and life out of them, encourage them to move out of there, help them become strong and regain charge of their own lives. Help them rediscover the joy of living.

      Adriana James

      Good Cristina, this is a great big picture. As you will see already in the next project, all this work will become the starting point and of extreme relevance. From here we will chunk down into specificity. You cannot find the niche you’re looking for without first knowing the big picture of why you’re doing what you’re doing. The niche is directly related to this. Then we’ll have a project about you’re preferred customer, and this project follows the same pattern. Then we get into how to devise your marketing plan ….but again, if you don’t have the big picture, you cannot do any of that. Then we get into how to do networking once you know your niche and your preferred customer, and so on. So put this aside, and as we proceed notice how the next projects refer to it. It will come automatically as the instructions in the next projects will refer to it.

      Goal is to train people that are going to take action!!! People that are going to take it all the way. I have been setting my goals and imaging that I will attract student for my Practitioner and I see them going all the way through TT and some all way through APEP So humanity as a whole can evolve in values levels (the ones that are ready)

      I have this vision of a net work of individuals that are all doing there own specialty, our training company in NLP Time Line Therapy, other MT all over the world and others such as Jon Rappoport, Catherine Austin Fitts, or Dolan working together and separate at the same time. There are many people who are awake and they still don’t have the tool to let go of their neg. etc. which keeps them stuck and unable to see the big picture. The way Adriana and Tad have designed the trainings are so powerful is because it helps student to wake up…and at the same time giving them to the tools to let go of neg emotions to free the thinking and connect all the dots.

    • #2156

      So, Deb, one of the characteristics of your niche and preferred customers (which is not one and the same but overlap) is to take action. You say “people that are going to take action”. keep this in mind, as the next project is about your “niche”.

      For as long as I can remember I have been helping people, communicating with everyone without differentiation, feeling like I was here to help make a better world.

      In my mindโ€™s eye I have been 200 years into the future and experienced the possibilities of a much better world, one which has moved past all the obstacles to its existence. I believe it is possible and hold it in my mind.

      Being a therapist was helpful to hundreds of people, but it would take too long to affect all the people I want to. NLP gave me the tools to effect change much more positively and rapidly, so I can affect more. NLP Trainer enabled me to teach others to do what I did and thereby affect many more people than I could alone. Becoming Master Trainer increases that process by a level of magnitude.

      The more I achieve, the closer that future image comes to me. The combination of all our efforts defines the direction we are heading in, and there are many others around the Planet engaged in similar activities, and helping people step out of the old paradigm or morphogenic field, and into a better one. Change occurs at the individual level, personal empowerment, and this contributes to the movement towards the better world I know can and will exist.

      It could happen in a lot less than 200 years of course, but even when it does, the world will still be a better place in 200 years. I only went that far ahead to move past any obstacles which would nee to be circumnavigated along the way.

      I will die happy because I will see the fruits of my labours, and the labours of similar minded people everywhere, in initiating an inevitable process of change in the direction of this world towards the best of all possible futures.
      I am passionate about this and I am told it affects others around me and inspires them into making changes themselves.

        That is a goal and a life worth living for, Marc. Very good! There are 3 main ages in the life of every person. Youth, maturity and wisdom. This is why I ways say that knowledge will lead you (hopefully) to wisdom. Most people who are not having the skills, by the time they get to wisdom, they’re burned out. Life is not something trivial and easy. It makes us face problems and difficulties for a purpose. Without this greater vision, one ends up burned out and instead of getting into wisdom, many choose to check out early. You got it. Live by your purpose and for it and the rest is details we go through together as to HOW to make it happen. I.e. Your wisdom to be shared in a way which it makes it worthwhile even 200 years from now.

        Wow Darren, this is not a small task. I love it! But you need to be clear as to what is consciousness. Be sue it is not mindfulness, it is not meditation, it is not logic, it is not reason…it is all of the above and far more. So in order to help others, you have put yourself in the position to have to learn and experience all this yourself. Otherwise you cannot teach others.

      for me personally, I’ve been in the helping profession for many years… working in social work, previously working with young offenders and child protection and transferring into the area of health as a fitness trainer, registered nutritionist and now trainer of NLP, Hypnosis and TLT. My main goal is to help people transform their lives by transforming their thinking – challenging their beliefs. Diving into emotional health and healing… many women I’ve worked with have weight issues because of childhood trauma or abuse and my goal is to help them release the trauma, and releasing the weight of armor, protection around them so they can be free of it…

      I am looking to work with smart, busy professional women who are overweight and want change and transformation. They are between the ages of 35 and 55 and have an income of 50k plus. They are willing to do the work and be coached on health, healing and nutrition. They are motivated to reach their goals because they know what they will gain (energy, health, vitality, better sleep, better sex, confidence, emotional well-being etc). when they release the weight, not lose it.

        So, you have your niche already pretty well defined Lynn. Make sure that inside your niche you have also well defined characteristics of your preffered customer/client. As I answered Nathan on another thread, this will help with saving your time and energy. You cannot be everything for everybody, but you seem to understand this well already.

      My vision is to contribute to a world where people have courage to follow their heart, pursue what they love and rewarded handsomely for their authentic and gifted services. To gather a world of people who can align their head and heart, lower self and higher self, conscious mind and subconscious mind, masculine energy and famine energy, knowledge and action. To awaken people from their ego centric world and see the lights at the end of the tunnel, and finally recognize that they are the lights and one consciousness all along.

      What you describe presupposes integration between CM and UM. This is best achieved by teaching TLT and Hypnosis. You will see how difficult it is for people in general (and I am making a generalization here) to get this done. It is a huge task. Massive.

      I am not sure what you mean when you say “egocentric” world.
      In my translation, this’ll means people operating from an unconscious CM, which is most the case for every individual no trained. To follow one’s heart without a clear vision for the future and a clear direction from the CM (which presupposes business skills, control over one’s creation, etc. ) -which denotes a well trained CM – is fraught with danger. We know that the UM is in control anyway, as it directs the body, the emotions who can direct the thinking. This is why people react with a knee jerk reaction to the environment. However, from the prime directives of the UM we know that the UM takes directions from the CM. If the CM is not aware enough, one will give the UM wrong thinking (wrong beliefs, wrong values, wrong concerns, etc.) and the results can be unpredictable.

      Please watch all the videos and read the articles posted by me and other folks under the “Videos and Artifels of Inetrest” forum. They all have to do with awareness and mind. Once you begin to be aware of these things, you will understand better where your students are (usually and as a broad generalization much less of an understanding and awareness than you do). The you know where and how to teach them so they can develops and get from under mind control which does not allow for spirituality training per se.

      I don’t know if you get this, yet. But everyone has and is consciousness. However, the translation, the transducing of consciousness via the mind is skewed – because the mind is not a friend for most people. Like a dog pet, the mind can be the greatest friend and protector or it can become a beast that bites and creates havoc, and this is not me saying it; it is part of the teachings of old. So think of it carefully. So in a way, the best way to awareness and spirituality is to teach NLP and TLT the way we teach it. I am saying that advisably as not everyone teaches it this way.
      Please don’t be misguided. If you think that NLP and TLT and Hyonosis and NLPCoaching do not have anything to do with consciousness you are mistaken. And if you think that meditation techniques ARE consciousness, you are also misguided. Meditation techniques like NLP and TLT have their role. But they are not in and of themselves enhancing consciousness no matter what you’ve been told. And I can argue a logical and reasonable case with anybody in the world in support of this statement.

      Thank you very much Adriana. I understand what you mean 100%. Personally I am a heart centre person, as much as I also have an very active mind with a strong AD (Auditory Digital). I went into Buddhism to practice living in the present moment (heavily influenced by Eckhart Tolle’s Power of Now) and also influenced by the heart-centred teaching of the New Age (such as Osho, who reckons that our mind is the best tool but the worst master. Our head should follow our heart but not the other way around), this for me is the spirituality I know so far.

      Please let me know how you think. For me, guided meditation is another way of saying Hypnosis, as they are practically the same thing.

      My life path: Empowerment
      To ease peopleโ€™s suffering, through awakening/awareness and action, and show them how the pain in their world, is created by them, and therefore, they can choose not to create itโ€ฆto be Empowered.

      The big question:
      These are my first thoughts, it’s actually been something that I have had in mind for a while now. I will leave it here, welcome all feedback, and look at it again, later in the week, to see if I get any more clarity.

      “Imagine a world where you didnโ€™t have to undo everything that you learnt, thought, believed, did…โ€ฆbecause NLP was there even before you were born!”

      We (NLP Trainers, Practitioners, Therapists) are, right now, teaching people to re-consider how they live, think, act, believe etc…imagine a world when everyone already knows this, because we have taught every adult, and they have taken it onboard and now, every child brought into this world, is exposed to it directly, through their parents, teachers, everyone in the community…no longer will someone be told, you canโ€™t do this, and if they are, they will know to reject it, question it or find a way to do it. Imagine.

      Imagine, then, what humanity can achieve, when each person, therefore, has the knowledge and tools, and uses their resources efficiently eg time…think of the time spent and the problems created in people’s lives, home, work, community etc, because they were searching, or struggling and didn’t know how or what to do…the pain created in their lives and others….on a global scale also, the wars, bullying, politics etc. So, imagine then what can be achieved when they don’t have to do that, because they have NLP.

      (HEAL THE WORLD AND) CREATE ONE EMPOWERED COMMUNITY
      to get to the point of where the NLP beliefs and mind and language processes become deep, deep unconscious processes/values, beliefs and attitudes, so that we, as Master Trainers, Trainers and Practitioners, are upskilling/developing, not teaching/changing people later in life โ€“ and we will do that by training people before they become parents, before they become teachers or leaders, so that eventually every child will be raised in an environment where NLP principles, beliefs etc are our life principles and practices.

      Thank you so much for your feedback Adrianna.
      NLP and Time Line Therapy(R) neich is helping me to expoand my clients from not only healing and freedom for the vulnerable and oppressed but also tap into more functional higher values levels people. There will be a purpose in this perhaps to feedback somehow into the vunereable people, those in poverty, Trafficking, feeling trapped in prostitution, drug addiction and traumatized in other ways. So this project side can be supported by the work with higher values levels and also helps me to balance my own health and wellbeing in the journey. I hope its ok to get a bit philosophical, reading all the comments about the big picture is inspiring of all you great people and makes me think of the John Lennon song “Imagine all the people living life as one” – that is the new earth I imagine and dream about.

      Love this question and one I have pondered for a long time and one reason I took my NLP journey
      My goal is two fold firstly as a sufferer of PTSD depression and anxiety I want to help others, one person at a time to see that there is light at the end of that very dark tunnel and that it is ok to be you. I want to empower these individuals so much so that they also embark on the journey and then go out and touch other’s lives I am but one person but empowering others will help them help others and so on and so forth, a domino effect.
      I often say to my clients and circles
      “alone we are but a drop causing a ripple together we can create a wave”

      Secondly I hope to see a world free from suffering and pain where everyone lives in harmony with self first enabling them to then live in harmony with all of humanity

        WOW! Annie, that’s such a huge goal. In order to fulfill that, you understand that YOU will have to change tremendously and learn about the actual state of human kind to begin with, in order to get moving toward that goal. Who are we as humnas? Where are we coming from? What’s our role? On and off the planet? Hehehee…you’re in for a great journey! Very exciting!

      โ€œThis bigger goal is connected to your life path, to your mission in life, and to your life values.โ€
      In my lifeโ€™s path, I have always gravitated toward a leadership position. Also, from a young age, I was interested in natural healing and spirituality. I studied occupational therapy and worked in psychiatric rehab.

      My dad had his own business and traveled globally, and as a side business was a Dale Carnegie instructor so I grew up on a diet of positive thinking and the power of the mind.

      My ex-husband also had a business which operated globally. I became very involved in the property development side of the business.
      Iโ€™ve dealt with suffering; lost my beloved dad when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child, had two children with life-threatening disease, one of whom died 13 years ago at age 14. A few years later I was divorced after a 25 year marriage.
      Through it all, I strive for excellence. Whether this involved being the best medical caretaker of my children or to get through the divorce and up on my feet as quickly as possible. It was a lot about doing, and not being. (no uc awareness) Although I love my children fiercely, at times I felt like a machine with no emotions; albeit an exhausted machine.

      Post-divorce, after a business degree, I went on to study enneagram and NLP. NLP opened the door to great healing and personal growth.

      So on my life path thereโ€™s this combo of leadership, business, acting with excellence, the power of integration between uc and cm, healing and dealing with trauma.
      Thus I would articulate my bigger goal as:

      โ€Help others become an authentic expression of their magnificent selves.
      Transform the walking wounded into inspirational individuals who embrace life with flexibility, spontaneity, functionality and compassion.โ€

      Maybe expressed in a shorter version:
      โ€œThinking toward excellence, action with eleganceโ€

      These are essentially my iterations of โ€œTransform the Planetโ€ as the latter inspires me.

        Jenny, the condensed version is absolutely phenomenal. Love it.
        And isn’t it that the hardest challenges in life make us transform and change for the better? If we have the power to continue (as you did) and pick ourselves up after major upheavals, we become living examples for others and then congruency really shines through. It is not only about intellectual realizarion or comprehension of things (and it is) but also about experiential “getting it” at a far deeper level.

      It is my vision to develop authentic leaders in life and business, who are able to empower others because they understand what it feels like be empowered because they have gone through the journey.

      Instead of thinking that people work for them, I want them to think; “What can I do for the people that work with me.”

      It will start to create a ripple effect.

      People will discover their purpose. On a personal level this means fulfilment and happiness, for organisations, it means an increase in profit.

      Everybody has their unique strengths, and only (self) empowered leaders can bring that out in others.

      My life purpose, of which Master Trainer of NLP/TLT and Hypnosis, is an extension is: To lead, teach and inspire myself and others toward excellence and possibilities while having fun.” I think of the axiom to be so busy improving that I have no time to criticize or complain. Imagine if everyone was too busy improving themselves and the possibilities of evolving themselves and others that they had no time for hurting others.

      Lately, I also feel a special calling to do this work globally, beginning with my ties in South Korea. Perhaps the ripples of healing will spread to North Korea and will lead to the unification of the peninsula, a long-standing goal of South Korea. As a Master Trainer, I see no limits on what is possible.

      Hi Adriana – for me it has always come down to one thing , not matter what modality I use.
      “To end suffering” – specifically – to empower people so they can realise that their current state is not the end state.
      I would probably reword this from ‘To End Suffering” to “Empower the world, one person at a time”

      Thanks for the great question.

      My vision is that people will realize the resources they have within, unleash the potential and power and live the life they are meant to live. People will not be bound by limiting IR saying “I can’t. It’s impossible.” Instead, we will dare to dream big and achieving the dreams and live a fulfilling life.

      If you read my goal, you would have seen I plan to change the mindsets of youth toward a better future for themselves, but the bigger plan for this, is to install processes that they can use to help others. If we can change the kids minds to be aware of a larger community and how their actions impact others, we could stamp out self harm practices, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, the list goes on. The saying ‘the children are our future’ may seem so cliche but the world is changeing rapidly and if we don’t get the kids to see a kinder future now, then i pity the world my grandkids will live in. I heard a saying the other day that was, “dont ask your kids what they want to be when they grow up, because their jobs aren’t created yet. Instead, ask them what do they want to achieve and what problems do they want to fix’. This process doesn’t pidgeon hole them into a set career but induces thought that they can do anything they put their mind to.

        I also thought I answered this already also as I did for the posting from Mia, but I don’t see the posting. Hmmm….device trouble!

        Yup! And you’re so right! Great goal, huge effort, but if successful it’ll be of enormous impact in the younger generation.

        There is a movement now in the EU toward “skill based hiring” – looking for entrepreneurship, or entrepreneurial mindset. In other words, the DO-ers not the talkers or the entitled or the whiners.
        Truth to the table, the younger generation is not taught entrepreneurial skills. In fact they are discouraged from being “individualistic” as this is equated with selfish. One has nothing to do with the other. You can work for the benefit of community at large which is the normal course, AND be an individual.
        I like the line you posted: “Don’t ask your kids what they want to be when they grow up, because their jobs arenโ€™t created yet. Instead, ask them what do they want to achieve and what problems do they want to fix with self-confidence.”
        I see a lot of possibilities for business there, right in that sentence.

      Hmmm… big question indeed, I know it in my head, but describing it seems to be more difficult.

      Empower people to become highly self-aware and enlightened. Enabling them to realise their infinite capabilities and their broader contribution to the planet.

      I find that so many people are distracted with all the little stresses in their lives that they lose who they really are, don’t pay attention to what they really want, or have no idea what they really want and get stuck in a world of mediocre or “not bad” (at best). I am crazy passionate about helping people realise how powerful they are, how many options they have, to think bigger and beyond.

      There has been a quote that has floated around my mind for years: “I want to inspire people, I want someone to look at me and say because of you I did not give up.”-Unknown. It is definitely something that still speaks to me to this day. Now let me clarify, I do not want to fix anyone or make the changes for them; I understand that it fully up to the individual to do so. However I want to have such a positive life and therefore a positive impact on those around me and those I work with that they find the driving force within themselves to keep going, to evolve, to challenge themselves, to progress and find fulfillment or whatever they are looking for. This quote is part of my value of fulfillment. I feel fulfilled when I help others and make a change in the world.

      So my BIG picture goal is to CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE! I can make a difference in the world, one person at a time through coaching yet when I train I enable more people to join me and my dad on our quest to create this positive change on a much larger scale. It is like throwing a rock into a body of water and watching all the ripples radiate out from the center. I want to be at the center creating the force that causes change!

      Here is my big picture (as big as I can think of):

      To transform the Planet (or upgrade the human race) by waking up people’s inner genius and magnificence, so they are connected to their body mind & spirit in the way that all aligned and all in ONE. To help people to tap into their infinite source and inspire people to embrace their love, power and wisdom. By going beyond duality, they realise they are the creator of their own reality.

      I want to transform the planet into one dominated by VL7 or above thinking, and bring about a new golden age of human civilization spanning the galaxy and potentially the universe and other dimensions. But I don’t want it to really be an age because an age implies a cycle that will end. I want us to break free, once and for all, of the VL2-6 cycle and finally propel ourselves toward a new, spiritual version of humanity that embodies our infinite potential at an exponentially accelerating rate, from a state of union with our Higher Selves, which we experience as eternal ecstasy, joy, and love.

      I want to achieve this through an integrated approach that spans from the spiritual plane all the way down to the physical. So I want to be coaching and training people on the mental/emotional/physical plane to help them transcend their baggage, discover their spiritual power and power to create in the physical world, and learn critical thinking skills that will allow them to consciously create this new Golden Era.

      On the mental/physical plane interface, I want to ensure that the relationship between man and machine is a symbiotic, harmonious, and prosperous one for humanity, for the machines, and for all life on this planet and throughout the cosmos. AI is coming, like it or not, so I want to apply the principle of utilization to use this force for good to create the world we want. As a computer programmer, and entrepreneur, a Master Trainer of NLP, and an APEP graduate, I want to be a leader in the ecological use of AI for the good of all life, training other programmers and tech leaders to help them become more conscious, so that the systems they build will be more in harmony with the laws of nature and more beneficial to all life. I also want to participate in building these systems, with a focus on:

      – Ecology: cause and effect with regard to the systems we build and their effect on all other systems, both natural and artificial
      – Distributed systems for optimal freedom and autonomy
      – Security
      – Privacy
      – Free, open, secure, and private communications
      – IoT with integrity (the above values baked in by design, not as an afterthought)

      With a background in the oil industry, and as a budding serial entrepreneur, I want to continue expanding to other industrial businesses, firmly planted in the physical plane, to create the physical world we want. Key areas of interest/focus include:

      – Distributed systems:
      – Small-scale power generation (ideally moving beyond fossil fuels and wind/solar to something a bit more… modern/powerful let’s say)
      – Organic/biodynamic agriculture
      – Manufacturing (3D printing, etc. to lower barriers of entry and foster small business manufacturing/product development, as well as off the grid living for do-it-yourselfers)
      – Transportation (I love trains and have always been intrigued by high speed rail/maglev, but could also involve flying cars, spacecraft, etc.)
      – Natural resource extraction/development (minerals, responsible forestry… maybe even asteroid mining one day)
      – Construction of self-sufficient, environmentally friendly buildings with their own power generation, water recycling, green roofs, etc., but also that are consecrated spaces. Building spaces that generate positive frequencies that uplift human consciousness. Also interested in construction of entire cities… finding ways to design cities to optimize human joy, prosperity, and consciousness, in harmony with nature.

      So perhaps this is a vision for multiple lifetimes. Or I will be very busy. Or yes. Some of these may be businesses I start and some may be investments. I can invest in ecological businesses that are changing the world for the better and then train the leadership team in NLP to both maximize their level of consciousness and maximize the results and profits they are able to generate. So a very interesting model of the trainer/investor… taking the model of Shark Tank or The Profit one step further by upgrading the management team’s neurology. This model has the added advantage that I would be focusing my training efforts on the doers of the world… people who are actively involved in and highly motivated to transform the planet.

      Just read your post – twice! WOW! Thanks for sharing your amazing BIG question! You have a lot of design work going on in your head! I looked up the word ERA to read more about the synonyms and antonyms. Fascinating.

      As you are leading this large scale change, have you put the design on paper? Do you know what the flow on effects are of the doers? I ask because this will be strengthening your integrated approach and I can only imagine how powerful the outcomes are already!

      Where are you now with your journey? I would love to hear some more!

        Thank you, Gina! I have put bits and pieces on paper, but it continues to evolve as I learn and grow. To some extent, this kind of vision cannot be reduced to a pen and paper plan, because it is too big with too many variables. As fast as the world is changing today, there is no way to know which technologies will be developed when, which people will solve which problems when, etc., so for me to say something like “I want to build a 3D printing company 15 years from now” doesn’t really make sense, because by then it may be irrelev. I’ve heard Tony Robbins talk about how he stopped making long term plans because he found that they were wildly inaccurate, so his approach now is that he knows which mountain he is headed towards, but he doesn’t know all the specifics of how he will get there, beyond more short term planning.

        There are so many moving pieces in what I wrote above, that it is really beyond the capacity of a single conscious mind to figure out. It requires tapping into and listening carefully to higher sources of intelligence, and working with many other conscious minds on the component pieces. I don’t want to be some kind of technocrat and come up with a singular grand utopic vision all by myself… the very design and implementation of what I’m describing must take place via all of us as a distributed system, sharing intelligence with each other via conscious communication and via the collective unconscious, while using the conscious mind to plan and create the component pieces that each of us are focused on. As Catherine Austin Fitts like to say, none of us is as smart as all of us. So I can have a somewhat abstract vision, with a few key specifics (e.g. VL7+ society, or specifics about the form I want my coaching/training company to take, which I am figuring out through these projects), but in terms of a comprehensive plan for the whole shebang, I don’t think that’s feasible or really effective, because it is guaranteed to be wrong. The conscious mind thinks linearly, while the UM and HS think in parallel, so I am setting some key CM parameters in terms of vision and values, and then trusting the UM and HS to guide me to the right opportunities at the right time, and apply the CM at that time to execute those opportunities. Having done lots of research and learning with the CM, I will be more and more able to recognize these opportunities as they appear. I’m also using the CM to research how the world really works now, so I can know what is before changing it, as Adriana often says.

        So the shorter term planning I can do with the CM, and that needs to be fleshed out on paper more. But where I’m at now is that I’ve been building my family oil company, giving me experience in starting a company, finding investment opportunities, financing large-scale industrial projects, and managing those projects. I have also been building my tech/programming skills developing an IoT system to remotely monitor and control our oilfield operations, as well as other apps. Plus of course I have been building my NLP skills. So this has been a massive learning and skill-building period for me.

        Now I can start building my NLP business while also continuing to build out my tech presence and starting to commercialize some of the technologies I have been developing. That can lead into learning about and developing AI. Building the oil business also builds a strong economic platform that will give me capital to start investing in other businesses such as the ones I described above. That’s about where the planning (CM) ends and serendipity (UM + CM ability to recognize opportunities) takes over. As I get closer to that point in time, as I better understand the problems of the world and how to change them, and given the technologies available at that time, I will make decisions about which opportunities to pursue to make the greatest positive impact (as the unconscious becomes conscious I will make conscious plans accordingly).

        If anyone has other thoughts about effective long-term planning, I would love to hear them. The above is my approach so far, and I will continue to refine it on paper and make it as concrete as I can, but really what I’m saying is that even if the “How” is in flux as the world changes, the “What” of a prosperous, humanistic, life-affirming, VL7+ society stays the same.

      “Planning”…..I like simple things so I can play along the way. I have done plans on one page – very visual so I can see how things can move and change. I’d like to do the ‘plan’ in 3D – like a hologram ๐Ÿ™‚ something like a system with things coming in, moving around and so on. Very much needs to be an open system.

        Hi Gina. The 3D hologram sounds cool… like Tony Stark from Ironman with his AI assistant.

        I use a mind mapping tool I like called XMind, which has a free version with most of the features you need. I created a view that’s a hierarchy of ideas flowing from details on the left to big picture on the right, which makes it also a sort of chronological view. So I have the 6 main areas of life on the far right (Career, Health, Personal Development, etc.), and then going to the left I chunk down career for example into the various businesses/business areas (oil, tech, NLP). Then from there I chunk down into projects, and then from projects into key tasks (just the big ones… it gets a little busy and confusing for my taste if I add all my todos). Then your eye can follow chronologically from left to right from short term details into long term goals. If it starts getting too busy then re-chunk accordingly. You can also expand or hide any part of the hierarchy to focus in on a particular area if you want. It also has some basic project planning features including its own integrated Gantt chart so you can set start and end dates for your goals and tasks, and note dependencies between tasks so you can figure out the critical path to get to your goals. This is overkill in many cases, but very useful when the steps and timeframes are well understood and well defined.

        Adam, my question is why don’t you use NLP in the oil, tech etc.
        Not everyone uses NLP skills to do trainings. Of course this is great, but what prevents you from doing short weekend trainings to increment and assist clear thinking for the people in your business (the one with your parents).
        It could be business and income related.
        Why either/or? Why not and/both?
        Or are you doing that already?

        Thanks Adriana, I definitely want to do what you described and do NLP trainings and coaching breakthroughs for the leadership and employees of any and all businesses that I start or invest in. As for right now, we just have my parents and two employees in the company, and I guess now that I think about it, there is fear there about training my parents, especially since they have shown some resistance to NLP. As for the two employees, I have talked to one of them about NLP and he didn’t really show any interest. The other is our operations guy out in the field, and I haven’t really talked much to him about NLP. I will have to think more about how to put NLP in his terms.

        Also coaching and training other oil companies and especially the service companies can be a big opportunity. You have companies that are renting out or selling heavy equipment and services for huge dollars… say a single frac job for one well might cost $500,000 for some wells and last a day, so if I help a salesperson sell one more of those every year… there’s a 100x ROI. Or companies that rent out drill rigs for over $10,000 per day… if I help those salespeople increase their sales by 10% I will be making hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars of extra sales for their companies, depending on how many of their salespeople I train/coach. So that is a massive opportunity. There is a lot of money in this industry so it’s a big juicy target. Not to mention that having more conscious people in the oil industry would do wonders for the environment, safety of oilfield workers (many people may not be aware how many people die or lose fingers/limbs/etc every year so that they can fill up their gas tank), etc.

        One of the big things that has been holding me back is that I have been isolating myself and just focusing on oil business work to take that business to the next level, and I guess I’m realizing now that I’m being driven by a fear of that business failing, or not going anywhere. So I have not been networking, though that has also been driven by fear of networking. So I need to create my business card and get out there and just start talking to people. As you mentioned in another thread, it would help me a lot not to put pressure on myself to get results by networking, but just get in the habit of getting out and talking to people, and say hey btw I do coaching/training (insert elevator pitch here), are you interested or not? I’m also afraid that if I get out there and start talking to people about NLP and I make a fool of myself, that it could look bad on the oil company as well, and it’s a small town and word travels fast. Or that people might think our company is not doing so well or that I’m not really committed to the business if I have a side gig. And people are watching us and our progress. So there is a lot of pressure to succeed and not fail. So anyway, I know what to do about those fears, and your question is helping me bring them to light. Thank you.

      Hi Adam -…or you can tell the other people and oil companies that are watching you that you have become so consistently successful by applying NLP and doing transformation work on yourself first. There are many businesses people that limit their business with their own limiting beliefs or away from in their values. And it is difficult to become aware of that unless somebody/a coach listens to them and asks some questions. And problems love eachother’s company. For ex I am working with this business owner who went bankrupt although he had many clients and lots of projects to work on. But because of his relationship issues he would find refuge in the business and become burnt out and lost track of his financial results. And with NLP you have this ability to unravel the whole problem architecture and structure and then help these businesses owners breakthrough in their business as well as other areas of their lives.

        Thanks, Cristina! I agree that there are many businesses that could use my help. The problem is that I don’t feel like I’m consistently successful, so who am I to solve your problems? And the bind is that one of the things I need to do to become consistently successful is get out there and coach and train people. And frankly I relate to the client you just worked on, because I do the same. I work myself to the point of burnout in hopes that if I just work a little harder then I will finally become successful and build my self-esteem. That’s another thing… who wants a low self-esteem coach? Hi I’m a coach and I’m going to help you boost your self-esteem… but I don’t have any. Ok so build my self-esteem by working with people…

        I have been working so hard on myself with NLP, doing many many interventions on myself every single day, and it’s getting to the point where I’m getting quite frustrated, disillusioned, and despondent about it because no matter what I do, it’s not good enough and I don’t get what I want. There are many signs that I am making incremental progress and having incremental successes and growth, but not the sea change that I would expect from a breakthrough. So I feel highly incongruent about NLP, because I’m still trying to prove to myself if it works, and if it works with the speed, depth, and lasting results promised. And then I get mad at myself for doubting it and making it not work, and ask myself what’s wrong with me that I’m choosing to make it not work, so it’s a nice lose-lose I’ve created for myself.

        And the other part I’m realizing is not just fear of sales, but just fear of people and interacting with people in general. I’m often afraid of rejection by my own close friends and family. There’s no one I can really trust except my dog. I find myself needing validation from clients or prospective clients. How am I supposed to be your coach if I need your approval?

        I will do a great intervention on myself and feel great for a few minutes, and then WHAM the next unconscious thing hits me in the face and I don’t feel good again. So I’m definitely doing the universal model of change, frantically trying to climb back up to VL4, and I keep falling back down in the crevasse. But at least I keep pulling myself out and trying again. But man this is an agonizing process.

        So anyway, I need some help. If anyone would like to trade coaching, I would appreciate it. There are plenty of clues for you in my language above. I really don’t like having to ask for help, because it makes me feel like I can’t do it on my own, but what I’m doing obviously isn’t working, so I need to change my approach. Thanks.

        Just briefly before I run to the training room.
        Trust issues are lastly an issue of VL4-5.
        The trust problem is one and you said it – I don’t trust anyone but my dog.
        Adam, what if you trust and verify?
        You can continue not to trust anyone but that makes for a very sad life. And you describe it above, becoming dependent, etc. So you’ll have to trust a small and well selected number of people, knowing fully that you will encounter betrayal of trust. It’s called life.
        You’re not afraid to trust, you’re afraid of being hurt. Betrayal hurts. However if you don’t trust anyone including yourself, what are you doing?

        And about who are you to do this? Who is anyone? You happen to be a guy that has a bunch of knowledge and techniques and to not do anything with what you have is really to say I don’t trust these work. Which – which all due respect – is a baloney! Ya ya! Excuse!
        You don’t need more intervention, you need to feel the fear and do it anyway.
        And ….focus on what you want! S&S long as you doubt everything about you and what you do, you’ll get more doubt! And you get to be right!
        In any case, you get to be right! ?

        Thanks for taking the time to post that in the midst of training, Adriana. Yes it is fear of getting hurt. And in reflecting on your message I’m seeing how the trust issue is holding me back in so many ways. I haven’t been able to expand beyond a certain point because to continue expanding you have to trust your UM to create the universe the way you want it, and trust the universe to support you. I have been searching for “proof” so I can be convinced of things, and yet life just gets more and more uncertain, so proof is not possible. So then trust is essential.

        So I started just in my mind visualizing trusting people, and trusting myself and the universe in general, and lo and behold an hour later I got an Uber driver who just happens to be starting out as a life coach, who was telling me how she used to worry what her friends and family thought of her, and she was actually a nurse, and then she realized she could make more money as an Uber driver. So she stopped caring what her friends and family thought and just started making more money, and then getting into coaching. So she’s doing VL5 now as an Uber driver and coach. And that blew me away because she doesn’t appear to have had the advantages in life that I have, but she’s just hustling her way to the top. So she taught me a lot. And the kicker is that her name is… Grace. How’s that for a message from the universe?? Grace is a byproduct of trust!

      For so long when I was a paramedic, all I did was put bandaids on people’s problems. There were times when those bandaids saved lives, but looking back and knowing what I know now, it made me want to create something that can help people heal their minds and therefore their bodies. I watch my first responder family “deal with” the stressors of their work and have witnessed too many people take their lives because their mind became their prison.

      As a Master Trainer, I want to create a ripple effect that touches the lives of the people that feel this way because this is how I made my way out. The mind is a powerful and beautiful tool and I want to teach as many people as possible to have the knowledge they need to use their mind to empower themselves and take action towards living a life they want. A life of love, happiness, joy, and positivity. I want to remove as much pain from this world as humanly possible and I know that working with groups is the way to make a greater impact.

      It is my intention between now and completion of the Master Trainer Program to build a retreat in Pambula on land (which we have) to run pracs and master pracs and also utilise for the breakthrough weekends.

      Once I complete the Master Trainer Program it is my intention to focus on training and supporting the very best NLP trainers in working with individuals for deep trauma recovery, comorbidity, addiction, relationships, discontentment and self-mastery.

      I recognise that the client chooses the practitioner and that is why practitioners require visibility – everyone should have access to the freedom which NLP brings and it is my intention to support the integration of NLP into both the education and mental health systems.

      I want to build a tribe of practitioners that value integrity and excellence and support them in supporting others to transform their lives.

      “It’s time to anchor your soul and be an anchor for others.” That is on our logo!

      Cheers

      Elevate self-belief. When we believe, we take action!

      I have seen so many people, including myself, sitting on the fence of wanting to make a change in their life or take action. Yet something holds them back and so often it is the belief in themselves. If society could be rid of limiting beliefs so that everyone had the belief, courage, confidence to go for what they truly desire in life, I would love to know what difference that would have on individuals, society and the planet!

      What am I going to do with my successful business once Iโ€™m a master trainer?
      Once Iโ€™m a master trainer I train Trainers, to spread the wave of change.
      In the years leading to my master trainer I have influenced many people and trained them in clear and critical thinking. Lots of them coming back to become trainers themselves. Supporting the bigger goal to transform this planet. To transform this planet to be a more beautiful place and where the critical mass of people have value level 7 and above thinking.

      Best wishes

      Charlotte, this resonates with why I do what I do as well!

      Plus….from a completely selfish place as well I want to live in a world where we are surrounded by people who love and appreciate themselves/others and go for their dreams and are happy spreading positivity and go out of their way to create win-win in everything they do and every action that they take!

      When I am a Master Trainer, I will build a tribe of people connected and one with the rest of the world with the goal of transforming the whole planet using the power of our minds. People who are free to choose and intelligent and limitless, able to achieve their goals even with great challenges in life.

      I see myself holding more trainings for coaches and master practitioners and train trainers especially in underdeveloped countries (in terms of the level of thinking) like the Philippines outside of Australia face to face or online. The goal is to create more people who have a passion for changing and transforming the self that will represent the whole picture of the world and the universe. Everything starts from every single one of us, thus as a Master Trainer, one of the goals is to massively produce thinkers, influencers, and leaders leading more people to awaken to what is really the truth and unleash the freedom from within.

      On 23 February 2019 my mission became clear to me on the planet. My mission is to empower 5M women to be seen + heard through authentic self-expression and wellbeing and I do that through my world class trainings, 1:1 coaching, private retreats.

      Currently, I have 480 members in my private group which started off with tarot and angel card readings and healings. These still remain part of who I am and my bigger mission because my mission is to heal the inhabitants on the planet which in turn will heal the planet.

      My purpose is my mission and my mission my purpose. Spirituality is a big part of everything I do.

      This is such a good question… and I’ve been thinking about this past week or so.

      I have two years remaining in Master Trainer Program and I appreciate the sharing from all of you.

      What led me to the Master Trainer Program is that the world is an ever-changing place, systems constantly working and changing at the micro and macro level and there are multiple opportunities and issues in our world now and we know there will be in the future. To be in balance with Earth and the Universe, to transform the planet, to be adaptable, to influence and lead, to be an agent of change etc, I believe we want our consciousness to evolve and function in a way that our systems here on Earth and beyond truly benefit and to do that education is key. Yes, I’ll be doing trainings and I will be coaching. Trainings will evolve too because there is always more and our trainings, even though we have a fantastic model to follow from Tad and Adriana, we refine our frames and examples to bring relevance to the experience and adapting to what is happening in the world along the way. Consciousness is more than education, it’s what we do with the education – the application. Training others is about empowerment and this brings me back to global empowerment and leadership.

      Hope this makes sense. Gina

      Hi!
      Tell me what are you going to do with your successful business once you are a Master Trainer?

      I have thought about this a lot.

      I’m clear that at my core I’m a healer. My journey in learning, practicing, and training in NLP, Hypnosis has been driven by the desire to heal at the individual, group, and societal level. At the moment, one of my current life assignments is to use the tools of this work to help dismantle systemic racism and oppression, and to heal internalized trauma from such oppression. I’m starting with people of color. I notice that there seem to not be a lot of black and brown people around me that know about this work. At present my work is to educate, dispel myths, and then invite our community (black, latinx, indigenous, people of color) to learn and use these tools for self healing, decolonization of mindset, and thought evolution. One of the things I have always remembered about my trainings with Tad and Adriana is that they always stressed the importance of critical thinking and thinking for oneself.

      Part of my business model is to train students to the Master Practitioner level (during the MT program) and have a select set of students come into my organization to continue doing Personal Transformation work with our clients while I focus on the training.

      When I become a Master Trainer, my focus will be to produce more NLP trainers that can take over some of the Practitioner and Master Practitioner Trainers, so that I can have more leisure time with family, as well as time to be in the community facilitating NLP based learning programs for youth (which I intend to have created by the fall of this year). I’m going to be training my son, nieces and nephews…and if he (or one of the family members) take interest in this work, I will likely leave it to them to carry on legacy when I retire.

        Hi Maiysha,

        Thank you so much for sharing… you are clearly focused on making an impact and you have an amazing open mind! Having family involved will sow the seeds to further transformation of our planet! Your vision of a legacy is very powerful and this is how further transformation will happen – building the future! I imagine that you have an amazing plan in place to make all this happen ๐Ÿ™‚

        Question – what will you do in retirement?

        Looking forward to talking one-to-one some time this week? Gina ๐Ÿ™‚

      Gina,
      Its funny. I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do in retirement.
      I only imagined retirement being a space where I work b/c I want to not because I have to.
      I’d probably continue to speak, educate and train… but I won’t be needed by the company to do so.

      I know I’d love to travel and spend time with loved ones (friends and family).

      Thanks for asking!
      Looking forward to speaking soon!

        People often ask me “Gina when will you retire?” And immediately I get this picture of sitting under a shady tree near the beach just watching the ocean… and then jump to where I am… Am enjoying what I do. I picked up that you said that you will continue to speak, educate and train. I love that. Three very action oriented words. Am sure that the world will want to hear all that you have to share! Yes, we will talk very soon! ๐Ÿ™‚
