Introducing

You are the owner and operator of the most amazing, beautiful, and complicated computing device ever invented – your brain.

When you buy a new camera, or a new printer, or a new microwave oven, you most likely take some time to look through the manual and learn about what your new purchase can do, and how to operate it and get the most use out of it.

Yet your brain did not come with an owner’s manual (how many pages long would something like that be, anyway?). So it’s no surprise that people have occasional difficulty controlling how their brain works.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can be described as studying how each of us builds our own mental and conceptual map of the world that we live in.

NLP means different things to different people, since there is no central governing authority or set of rules regarding its definition and practice.

But basically NLP helps us get out of our own way. We build up an arsenal of often-unconscious ways of reacting to certain situations in our lives, and often those reactions have become
outmoded and unproductive. If we identify and become conscious of those unproductive reactions, we can choose to change them, thereby removing roadblocks to our progress in creating the lives we really want.

Our reality map is unique to each of us; no one else has the exact same reality.
Furthermore, NLP can be used to change the way we interact with our reality, with huge implications for every area of our lives.

Furthermore, NLP can be used to change the way we interact with our reality, with huge implications for every area of our lives.

NLP draws its inspirations from a number of different areas of psychology and science. It’s sort of an “open-source” system, with a large number of people constantly adding to its growing knowledge base.

In essence, and unlike many strands of mainstream psychology and therapy, NLP is less concerned with “curing” whatever is “wrong” with a person and instead focusing on what makes people effective and on what works well.

You may be familiar with the saying that “insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.” NLP assumes that every person is already working perfectly, and that what appears to be “wrong” with someone is actually the perfect response to their current map of their world.

Preparing the Ground

If you have not already read Think and Grow Rich, then I want to encourage you to do so: you can get a free copy of this classic book from the White Dove Books site. Use the Free eBooks button above to get your copy. Remember, it’s not a classic for nothing. It was the result of a lifework on the principles of success and it really does contain everything you need to know about how to get rich.

When I first read the book, I remember putting it down and thinking to myself … ‘now what exactly is this secret he keeps talking about?’. It turns out to be a not uncommon experience. Despite the fact that in every chapter of the book, mention has apparently been made of the ‘money making secret that has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men’, many people have reported great difficulty in actually locating the secret.

In a recent movie – The Secret – the underlying scientific thinking is thoroughly explored. Hype, concerning the movie, The Secret, is all over the internet at present; and, there is no question about it, it’s a good movie too! It will do you absolutely no harm to watch it. But – let’s be quite direct here – many people who have also watched The Secret movie still just don’t get-it! The reason, I think, is that the focus of the movie is the business of convincing people that there is a secret and that it can be trusted to work.

Napoleon Hill says that in order to receive the secret, you have to be ready to receive it; and that’s why he doesn’t give it out overtly. Rather, he allows the reader to discover it when he, or she, is ready to receive it – it is more powerful that way, he says. Well if that is the case how come we have written this little book that plainly and openly reveals the secret to anyone who wants to understand it?

It’s a good question – and one I wanted to answer right up front because the approach taken here seems to fly in the face of what Napoleon Hill has said. The simple answer is that in order to succeed
in your purpose of becoming rich and living a truly abundant life, you need to move from the business of study to the much more profitable business of action.

Contained within this little book is the very same information that many millionaires have actually used to generate real wealth - and so have proved it to be absolutely correct. If you are ready to begin your journey toward riches, once you have the necessary understanding, it is time for you to move-on to action. My hope is that you will understand, after reading this book, that you do finally have all the truly important information you need to become wealthy; and that the time has now come for you to actually realize your true potential.

The Special People in This Book

This page is both an acknowledgement of and a dedication to the fifteen people who made this book possible. A quick look at the Table of Contents on the previous page will give you their names. I met all but one of them at a seminar I attended in Atlanta early in 2001. It was presented by John Harricharan, and it featured a number of well-known Internet personalities as well as some people that I confess I hadn't heard of before attending.

A year earlier, I had written a book titled Command More Luck (see excerpt at the end of this eBook), but didn't feel it was "complete" somehow. So I was casting around for ideas to help me round out the project and begin selling it properly.

I don't usually enjoy seminars, and I mostly try to avoid them. I had just read John's book Power Pause, however, and had spent two or three days walking around the house mumbling " I wish I'd said that". Then, I heard he was promoting a seminar in my old home town, Atlanta, and something in me knew I needed to attend this one.

I did attend, and things began changing. On the first day, during one of the breaks between speakers, I turned to Yanik Silver, whose book Instant Internet Profits had been a great help in understanding how to plan website sales flow. After introductions, I totally surprised myself by asking if he would consider contributing a section to my book. I am enormously indebted to Yanik for his gracious agreement. If he had shot me down, this book might have died right there.

Over the next three days, I approached several others about the project, and in every single case was greeted with enthusiasm and acceptance.

So I dedicate this book to my fifteen new and very special friends, with the understanding that this book is really theirs.

And to John and Yanik, I owe you special thanks for your roles in supporting my very first tentative steps in launching this project.

Introduction

Before we begin, let me ask you a simple question: what do Superman, Spiderman, Batman, the X-men, and the Incredible Hulk have in common? See, it’s easy, right? Yes, they all have supernatural powers – special abilities that make them supreme, invincible and indestructible, and which cause them to be recognized as superheroes. They use these special powers to do good things to people and defeat evil entities. But, unfortunately, they are not real. They are only works of man’s creative imagination. They don’t exist in the real world. That’s why, unlike in comic books and movies, when our city is in trouble, there is no superhero to call to save the day. It really seems to be too good to be true, isn’t it?

Now, let us try to add another one in the list; this time, a real person, say you, me, your teacher, my next-door neighbor, or simply anyone who exists in this world. The list would now be like this: Superman, Spiderman, Batman, the X-men, the Incredible Hulk, and you. Again, same question: What could be the common factor among those in the list? Remember, it includes you now. So before answering, you might ask another question first. Is there really something we all possess? Indeed, there is. Even changing the last entry to me, your teacher, my next-door neighbor, or whoever real person you may think of, still there will always be something common between a superhero and a real person like you and me, and that is power.

Ever envied a superhero for having supernatural powers? I think we all have. Just imagine how cool and fascinating it would be to become invisible even for just a minute or two, to fly across mountains and seas, to climb tall buildings and walls, to create fire or ice depending on what the situation needs, or to simply have that special physical strength to be able to do things that normal people can’t do. But are these kinds of power only necessary to make us superior over others? As real people in the real world, we can never possess any of these supernatural physical powers. What we have is the power to mold our personality, to shape our future, to create our destiny, and to determine who and what we are – a power greater than any other supernatural powers, a power that builds reality and not mere imagination, a power which everyone possesses and can make him a hero in his own ways. This is the power of the mind.

Funny how we tend to be so addicted in looking outside ourselves that we have almost totally lost access to our inner being. We are so afraid to look inward because we might not be happy with what we could see. We make our lives so hectic that we eliminate the slightest risk of looking into ourselves. Therefore, we settle on observing things outside of our own. We make comparisons, judgments, and evaluations which only lead us in concluding and, worse, accepting the fact that we are inferior among others.

What we don’t know is that we have the power to reverse what the outside world makes us believe in. If it says that we are wrong, we have the power to make us right. If it says we are losers, we have the power to be winners. If it says we are non-existent, we have the power to make everyone see that we are alive and surviving. And that is how the power of our mind works – making us more supreme, invincible, and indestructible than any other superhero is.

If the world says you can’t, say “I can. Therefore, I will.”

What is Hypnosis?

For those of you concerned that this is a report designed to teach readers how to convince crowds of people to act like chickens or dance to an unheard song just with a carefully placed keyword - relax. While hypnosis is often paraded in that form with large crowds visiting celebrity hypnosis experts to see what wonders they can perform, the majority of hypnosis used is to aid people seeking a solution to a problem they cannot resolve easily with any other method.

What Hypnosis is NOT

Like many things that have become popularized by celebrity, there are a few misconceptions about self hypnosis that are good to clear up at the start. Before we look at what self hypnosis IS, let’s look at what it is NOT

Self hypnosis doesn’t mean you are allowing someone to control your mind with a soundtrack. No one is able to control our minds. What it does do is help us solve our own problems and answer our own questions. Trust your own strength and power and know your mind isn’t going to let just anyone take over!

Hypnosis isn’t sleeping. While you move in and out of a hypnotic state as you fall asleep or wake up, hypnosis is that time between wakefulness and sleeping. That lovely relaxed state that drifts you between conscious and unconscious thought. You may sometimes fall asleep during or after a meditation, but that is because you relax.

Falling asleep during hypnosis often indicates the level of stress you are under - that you are having trouble relaxing on a long term basis, and the hypnosis-induced sleep is simply your body telling you that you are sleep-deprived and need to catch-up on sleep.

Hypnosis doesn’t make the bad things go away. If you’ve been heavily hurt or abused it won’t make the memories go away. What it can do is rearrange your filing system a little. It can put those bad thought patterns and memories in a place where they don’t pop out every time you open your mind’s storage cupboard. Instead it parks it somewhere at the back of the highest shelf and puts the good thinking in the shelves within easy reach.

It’s a little like the way your mother may have put the cookie jar at the top of the fridge when you were a kid - you just couldn’t get to it unless you put a pile of effort into it. The best thing about hypnosis is the cookie jar might have some mouldy old bread in it, but the hypnosis puts some sweet and tasty good feelings within easy reach. You are far more likely to access the good bits before any of that bad stuff comes flooding back.

Hypnosis can’t make you do something you don’t want to. Your mind is far stronger than we give it credit for. We can’t be made to act or believe something we do not want to believe. This is also why some people may find self hypnosis doesn’t have the expected result they were planning on. Before you begin any self hypnosis course, think about whether the new thinking patterns you are working towards are actually what you want to believe and change.

For instance, some people say they want to give up smoking, but because they love the social side of standing with other smokers, or the way it makes them more relaxed in social situations, they don’t really want to let it go. It’s important to find what it is you actually want to adapt, change and replace before you start for maximum effectiveness.
