This information is so well packaged and I’m excited about the next part already. If I don’t catch it live I’ll be watching it ASAP after. Thanks again Adriana.

This site is such a great idea. I am setting up a group in Liverpool as part of ongoing support of the development of my graduates, with the first evening a few days after the Prac next week. I feel I already have lots of information and experience to share with them and this site helps me take it to the next level.

Such a powerful topic that for some of us we would prefer to shy away from and at the same time for those of us who are seeking to be masters of our own lives and have our word be law in our universe it is a necessary step on that journey toward self mastery and true freedom. For those of us who are in business and in my opinion if you are in this forum you are in business, then you will know that it is very difficult to succeed if you have not yet surveyed the land and understand the laws in which govern it.

Imagine yourself playing a game of basketball where you were completely unaware there was another team playing against you – and every time you would make progress toward your goal an invisible force would snatch the ball out of your hands and within seconds the ball would fly through the air through the hoop scoring another point against you.

Just like this imaginary game of basketball if we are unaware of the law’s or control mechanisms that are being used against us how can possibly hope to succeed in our overall objective?

Noam Chomsky who is one of the most notable linguists of our time said the following:

“Citizens of the democratic societies should undertake a course of intellectual self defense to protect themselves from manipulation and control, and to lay the basis for meaningful democracy.”

What better intellectual self defense to equip ourselves with then to be a Master Trainer of NLP which also enables us to equip others with the same defenses, Noam Chomsky is also a gentlemen who I see time and time again formulating “arguments” which are bullet proof by using the right information with the right thinking he creates the most exquisite rhetoric by using this Trivium (Grammar, logic & Rhetoric – See Adriana’s Hidden Magical Language Course) he also arms himself with the ability or “flexibility” (Law of Requisite Variety) to educate and inform others in a way that is credible, concise and valid.

By educating/training our students in this way we set ourselves up for a long and healthy career as we watch the fruits of our labor expressed in the success of our graduates through there ability to be the most flexible in the “system” which I believe is the key to transforming the planet!

I loved both videos – thank you Adriana – its amazing how even though you may know some things its so important to receive a refresher. Business structures are very much a passion and I absolutely loved the sections on creating your niche – its the number 1 reason businesses fail – does the market exist at the scale you need. We love our baby so believe everyone else will yet we don’t know until we test. Even though I knew this theory I still made this mistake with a business I launched as I was convinced of the market without testing. What does the market need by what social constructs (Language labels) and what are they prepared to pay a sum for.

In Business Innovation theory there is a lot of literature regarding Inclusive Diversity for richness of ideas as we all see the world differently (NLP) and what I love about this forum is it gives us the richness to test our concepts and enables “co-independence” (Kal). An eco-system and a community which I feel is very needed and welcomed.

My focus is business and I have been testing a number of various packages that I would love to bounce off anyone with an interest in Business?

Lastly I also just want to highlight something – in business we need to establish whether we are building a business or a lifestyle – a business is an entity that survives without you. So whilst you may be doing the training now – what is your future plan that does not rely solely on your presence. Again I am working on a few concepts and welcome discussions in this area. Collaboration is the business model of the future.

[Adriana James]

Thank you Wendy. I am happy you found the videos useful and beneficial and you enjoy the forum.
You mentioned a VERY important if not essential point in thinking about your niche: ‘ We love our baby so believe everyone else will yet we don’t know until we test.‘ Yes, indeed! Therefore, we are going back to the little detail in goal setting – let go of your need to have it in a certain way. Even if we think an idea is great, and we are in love with it as it gave us grand experiences, it does not mean that the market will respond accordingly. So… throw it out if it does not test right and start again! Or if you want to push it really hard in the mind of the consumer, it will require enormous amounts of money for advertising, because you have to create that marketplace. This is something which most of us, common folks who don’t pertain to class of shareholders of transnational corporations, cannot afford, nor would it be beneficial to us.

Then as you correctly mention comes the issue of ‘What does the market need by what social constructs (Language labels) and what are they prepared to pay a sum for.” Here we go again. Linguistics!!! Going back to basics. What’s the hardest thing to teach in all the trainings? Linguistics! Language skills, even if this is THE most ubiquitous way by which mind manipulations happens.
That’s the whole thing, isn’t it? If you find out THAT, and use it wisely, you’re in business!
I know you have been super-busy, but go through the Hidden Magical Language when you make some time – it will set you free in terms of using language for advertising, marketing and dealing with objections. Imagine dancing dances around someone’s logical fallacies and wrong CEq. It will be worth your time.

I hope the other folks in the MT program are reading your post as it is so to the point!

You mentioned also something else which I completely agree with but which based on how it is going so far, it’ll take some time to get into all the Master Trainer’s participants’ heads: ‘this forum […] gives us the richness to test our concepts and enables “co-independence”.’
Exactly. But we also need to remember that the Master Trainer participants are operating at different values levels and not everyone sees the ‘co-independence’ issue for what it really is. I am fond of saying that you cannot give up eating McDonald until you have gone through the period of eating it first. So, co-dependence, in-dependence, inter-dependence or co-independence. it may take some time for some folks to get the real values of what we are offering here and how spectacular their participation can help them and everyone else. And that’s fine. We are patient! 🙂

Hi Everyone,

I would like to thank you Adriana for creating the System of Mind Control. It is was the ultimate reframe that I needed after having the Marketing event we had on Wednesday night. Everything seemed to go wrong! All my projections where right in my face. All of the people that had characteristics of my worst fears, were in the audience of 26 people. It was kind of like TT where you create the worst case scenario. Well we almost experienced it. Our opening was terrible and nothing was flowing. Because we where off rhythm, I rushed through content. BIG mistake! Then I froze up and so did Brandon. It is so crazy because we know the content but It just wouldn’t come out right. The group was low on energy and we where having trouble keeping rapport. Because we didn’t open up well, it felt like half way through ½ of them wanted to leave. One of the guys kept rolling his eyes then finally left at the end. It was like we where in a bus barreling down a hill and unable to stop it. Finally we said Fxxx it and broke out to do a value elicitation exercise that kind of pulled it around and got the group engaged. At the end I was so out of it I forgot to do the pitch thank goodness Brandon pulled up the slide of our upcoming practitioner training finished out all in all with good questions and a lot curiosity. When we where done I was super upset. I have such high expectations for what I know what we can do based upon our past performances and how much we can improve each time. I could barely sleep Wednesday night because I kept going over what we COULD have done differently and what we SHOULD have done. The next day we had another networking event and I didn’t want to go I felt like a failure everything I know logically there is no failure only feedback trying to get the learning so I could let it go and move on. I was practicing my pitch and it wasn’t coming out right. Then I put the recording on for Mind Control the System and I realized again that none of this matters It is all just an illusion lol. This is part of being successful it’s to fail over and over and get feedback and incorporate. I could hear Tad in the back of my mind telling me about Babe Ruth and how many times he stuck out as the greatest baseball player! (Lol) Not everyone is a client and we don’t want everyone for a client, like TJ & AJ have been telling us for years. I reconnected with my purpose and mission of “transforming the planet” and waking people up to help them evolve and grow. Knowing as we expand out of our comfort zones, clients will do things that press our buttons so we can learn then evolve. I know this isn’t the first failure and certainly not my last learning but it’s what it takes to grow and this mission is not going to be easy and it is worth it. So we went to 2 networking events on Thursday and I knocked it out of the park with my pitches and got some really good leads. Earlier today I got a text from one of the participants from the event the night before that they really had a break-though and want to take it to the next level and come to our Pract. Training. We have a discovery call scheduled for next week. So apparently the Meetup on Wed. night wasn’t a complete failure it just felt that way.

OH Deb, this is excellent! I don’t mean to say that your heartache experience was excellent as how it felt in the moment – i am sure it was terrible. However, what you gained because of it, is invaluable.

Please remember something important. Everyone is afraid of failing, or unfulfilled expectations, or of being disappointed, or hurt, or laughed at, or becoming a failure. BUT THESE ARE ALL MADE UP! They are all FUTURE possibilities none of which happeNED!
Just because they have happened in the past it does not mean they will happen again in the future. but your mind constructs it this way, and then it is afraid to try again – and i talked about this in the first Zoom Webinar – i hope you have downloaded it! It is a protective neurological function of the brain.

Please get that what i am writing further is not meant as a criticism and i applaud your courage to put your message out. I am absolutely convinced that many of our MT participants have the same issues, but are not even talking about them openly and your sharing will resonate with many of them and serve as a learning experience.

That being said, i want to bring to your attention the following passage from ‘What Does It Take To Be A Master’ file: ‘Therefore, when in the training context one becomes inspired by self-interest alone, one will be precluded to see the students for what they really are. One’s mind becomes so cluttered by self-preoccupation that forgets what is there for. How do I look? Am I making a fool out of myself? Will I know what to say? Will I say the truth or just please my students? Are these people just stupid, or it is me that’s not making sense? These are just a few examples of the destructive mind patterns which are far removed from mastery.

In your case it was not self-interest as in super inflated ego, or selfishness, or egocentricity, or narcissism. But you were so busy with being afraid of NOT making a mistake and being perfect (focus on YOU) that you forgot that you were there also for the participants (focus on THEM). When you did the values elicitation you forgot about you and your focus allowed you to flow and you reached mastery. See Deb (and Brandon), it is not an either/or. It is an and/both. We are forced by our environment to think and behave at VL 7 if we are to navigate successfully these transitional times. to put it country simple, of course you always remember the purpose for which you do an networking event – otherwise why bother to go there and speak? AND at the same time, while doing it, as we taught you in TT all your attention is on the audience. Trainer state, extend your energy throughout the whole room, connect with every person, and speak from the heart all the while leading toward your purpose for being there and doing that event.

That being said, now that you have gone through this experience be very happy it happened. I am not kidding! This is an invaluable lesson and i have an inkling that you were somehow ‘magically’ – and i put magically in quotes as you can see – guided to go through it as an invaluable lesson for the future. Most people would like to avoid it like the plague. Nevertheless, it is not by experiencing only joy and happiness that we grow, it is by disturbing and problem-creating events and periods in our lives that the greatest growth is experienced no matter how much it hurts and how much we kick and scream at the moment.

Illusion or not, when you go through it …hmmm… it feels VERY real!!! As i said in the same file: ‘Many people get things mixed up: they think that the unconscious re-actions are self-initiated.[…] They are by definition re-active and not initiating.‘
Because of negative emotional state, you were both reactive and not initiating and the audience responded accordingly. Now you know how it works. 🙂
But if this is what it took for you to disconnect the negative state and get into the trainer state (which you both were not in from the beginning – AHEM!!!!), so be it!
“Everything is possible, but only IF YOU WORK AT IT.
If you do so, what you obtain will be so certain that no one will ever be able to take it from you.”

Congratulations! Keep going! Both of you!

[Deborah Yager]

Thank you so much for you reply last week! You are right this was the best thing that could have happened to me! And yes it was painful to the ego and I grew so much. I needed to get a little dose of rejection so I could get over my self being perfect. LOL Also I need to learn how to recover from failure (Brandon is great at by the way!) failure is something I have’t been able to handle in the past. When you said “Just because they have happened in the past it does not mean they will happen again in the future” Stuck with me as I was preparing for a Corporate training we had the following Tues. I found myself first doubting my capability and fearing that I would repeat the performance But I nipped it in the butt and focused the outcome that I wanted remembered it is not about ME….AND remembered to get into Trainers state! We did awesome!!!!!

We Now have 8 people enrolled in Pract. upcoming in May AND 8 pending 🙂
