The Psychology of Success

I’m a skeptic. I need to see evidence of results before I decide if something is valid or real. That’s the main reason I laugh at motivational speakers. Their advice is just too vague to be of much value. In my own training in psychology, we would watch videos of famous motivators and track the vague ambiguities couched as advice. It's a technique called "nested ambiguities." 

I know from experience that if you don’t clearly visualize your goals, you’ll most likely never see them come true. This is just basic psychology.  It's a technique that directs your subconscious to achieve what it sees.

Over the last six months, I've watched Pam achieve her goals with little effort. What was she doing? She was using a cool little program on her computer that reminded her of her goals throughout the day. The reminders are in the form of photos and affirmations that pop up on her screen. They also become her screen saver, serving as a short hypnosis session. She selected the photos and wrote the affirmations, thus they’re personally meaningful to her.

If you don’t understand this psychology, it works like this - the more meaningful an affirmation is to you, the more effective it will work for you. Further, the more visual the affirmation, the more effective it will work for you.  Pam's little program uses that psychology, and it is extremely effective.

My own mind is very different from Pam's.  I tend to bounce from one creative thought to another.  Frankly, I was getting frustrated at finding myself continually falling off track. So, I loaded Pam's program onto my own computer and created my own floating Vision Board. However, as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I know how to use the science of psychology more effectively, and that's what I did.  Rather than merely writing affirmations, I wrote post-hypnotic suggestions - the same type of language I use in hypnotherapy sessions to help people achieve a serious goal or overcome a serious problem. 

Folks, it’s been an amazing experience. When those little messages pop up, they zap me right back on track. If the only thing this program does for me is make me more efficient in the office, then it was worth the few bucks we paid for it. That's because efficiency (in terms of time and energy) is the first step to success.

That little software package is called Vision Board.  It automates a process that we've used with our own coaching clients for years. Remember, if you can see the result of the goal, you can be more effective at achieving it, and that's what this program does for you.

My Recommendation: Buy the Vision Board!

That link takes you to a page where you can buy the program ($59). That's peanuts for what you get from this program!  The landing page, however, is a long, tedious marketing page, so just scroll down until you see the button that says, “Click Here to Buy Now.”

Your Reward.  If you need help using Vision Board, just give me a call and I’ll help you.

Reach Out - NOW!

This economy is taking a huge and terrible toll on many investors.  Since many of you are financial advisors, that means your clients are getting scared.  But, that's not news to you, is it?  What seems to be news to many advisors is this - The advisor who does not proactively communicate with his/her clients right now, is placing them at risk.  Research clearly shows that one of the most important needs of clients is "responsiveness."  They need and want you to reach out to them and communicate with them.  They need and want you to let them know the truth.  They need and want you to let them know what to expect.  And, when you don't do that, they begin to look for another advisor!

Now, you could place a phone call to all of them, but how many hours would that take?  You probably do not have that much time.  What can you do to reach out to your clients and NOT spend hundreds of hours to do it? 

That is the other resource I want to urge you to  look at.  It's called Send Out Cards.  I've said this before and it's still true - this is a wonderful resource for efficiently contacting your clients.  The price point is a bit higher than for Vision Board - $400.  But, when you realize what this resource gives you, that cost is tiny.  In fact, if you buy Send Out Cards and start to use it right away, you could very easily salvage many of your existing client relationships!

My Recommendation: Buy Send Our Cards! (or you can explore it for free):
