Walk Through Roses
Just added this to the Master Practitioner Section Today. Thought the rest of you might enjoy it as well. Please leave a comment below or share with someone who could use a positive message today.
Why this is an “NLP Song”: One of the key concepts of NLP is that of Focus. You can focus on what you want or focus on what you don’t want. The problem with focusing on what you do’nt want is it sends a message to your unconscious mind to give you that. For example: Don’t think of a blue tree! What happens? Bet you thought of a blue tree right? One of the questions we ask our clients who often have a long list of what they don’t want is….
“What DO you want?” So that’s what this song is about.
Please let me know what you think.
Watch What You Say To Your Self
This chick is funny and totally right on target. Your assignment? Watch this video. Then Watch your thoughts and start thinkin’ different thoughts that feel good…Now of course I’m not suggesting that you do this every single day. Oh no! I would never suggest that you even begin to notice how good it feels to speak much more kindly to yourself…but definitely watch this video. Now!
There will be a test….:o)
Why Blogging Is Vital For NLPers & other Professionals
When I started my Modern Jedi NLP On-Line/Hands-On Course, one of the ideas I had was to allow the students to answer their certification quizzes after each section of the course on their blogs. It ocurred to me that this would be a win/win on a number of levels.
- The student would have a chance to learn a vital, low cost marketing skill that would help his/her practice.
- The fact that the student was answering in a public forum would challenge them to truly think about what they were learning.
- Since blogs are so much more search engine friendly than regular websites, it would enable the prospective NLP practitioner to begin to show up in Google searches.
- It also occurred to me that it would help spread the word about the Modern Jedi NLP training as well.
One of my students, Josh Kronlund chose to answer his quizzes on a free blog he set up in minutes.
Check out what happens when you google “Josh Kronlund NLP”
Here are the screen shots captured on 09/24/09:
Screen Shot 1: this first group shows mentions of Josh in my blog (which you are reading)

- josh kronlund nlp
Screen shot 2: is still the first page of google and Josh gets a couple of direct listings for his blog.

Now, admittedly there is a lot to the art of blogging and getting search engine ranking.
I learned most of what I know about blogging and using it as a marketing tool from Rob Bronson & Michael Guerin.
If you want to boost your business you definietly need to learn this stuff. Here’s how:
Mike & Rob are offering a new course which they are beta testing (which means it will be at a fraction of it’s value)
Check it out here and tell them I sent you. (actually they’ll know where you visited their site from and they’ll teach you how to know that stuff too.

Factory Workers Getting Results with NLP
This is absolutely a “must hear”! Paul Binkley and Aaron Torres, 2 “regular” guys who work in a factory, have been following the Modern Jedi NLP newsletter and blog for a while now. Listen as I interview them and find out how they’ve been using NLP to make a positive difference in their own lives as well as helping their co-workers. You owe it to yourself to listen to the entire interview.

Len Caiafa Interviewed About Using NLP In Sales and Business
Not too long ago, Len Caiafa dropped by and I grabbed the opportunity to chat with him on camera about NLP and how he’s used some of the tools he learned at my Reluctant Sales Person Seminar and some thoughts in general about using nlp in business and as a sales professional. BTW len is the guy that said to me, “Mark this NLP stuff is kind of like Modern Jedi Mind Mastery!” So I owe Len a definite debt of gratitude for that.
