Procrastination is the Official Language of the Poor!

Posted on February 20th, 2012 by Ronda Degaust No Comments

What is preventing you for taking action on your ideas or projects? Are you too overwhelmed with all you want to do to actually get around to doing it? Are you longing for a better life, but don’t know where to start?

The great author Og Mandino wrote that “to be always intending to make a new and better life to find time or courage to set about it is to put off eating and sleeping from one day to the next until you’re dead.”  Those words are a pretty harsh reality, aren’t they?

Why not you? Oh you may think the timing isn’t right(more…)

“I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody, who from an early age, knew I was responsible for myself and I had to make good.” – Oprah Winfrey

Which Parent Did You Marry?

Posted on February 10th, 2012 by Ronda Degaust No Comments

If you haven’t heard the saying “You become one parent and marry the other” then this may be a shocker for you.

For many years you may have noticed great guys marring women that treat them badly and sweet loving women who have demanding controlling husbands. This situation plays out in many relationships.

Regardless the type of relationship, the reason behind your choices starts at a deeper unconscious or subconscious level.

You choose a certain person based on your attraction strategy. They seem wonderful and just what you want in your life. You may be unaware of … (more…)




You Get What You Focus On…

Focus On What You Want!

If you find your life always giving you what you don’t want, take a moment to consider where you are putting your attention. What are you focusing on regularly. You may notice it’s all the things you don’t want to happen in your life.

Make A List Of Wants

The first step to changing this habit is to make a list of all the things in life you do want.  In NLP we call this well-formed outcomes. Focus on what you want or how you want to be in your life.  For example: rather than thinking “I don’t want to be this or I don’t want this to happen.” change your thoughts to “I want to be this or I want this to happen.” Put your energy or focus on all the good things you want out of life.

Spell Better With NLP

Posted on December 15th, 2011 by Bob Clarke No Comments

I like to try something out and make sure it works before I tell others about it. Are you the same way? Well, one of the early benefits I got from NLP was understanding how your eyes are connected to your brains processing ability.

And, when I benefit I want to share that benefit with others. So, let me tell you how NLP first helped me with my kids, as they were my guinea pigs – hey, don’t judge me until you hear the story;^)

My daughter was having difficulty with spelling at the time. And I was learning from NLP that most bad spellers look down and good spellers look up. This was a scientific discovery at Langley Porter Institute that is still not commonly known about, even today – outside of NLP.

When I asked my daughter to spell a word she couldn’t spell, sure enough, she was looking down.

And so I thought, why not try using this new info on eye accessing that I just learned. Everyone remembers visual images by looking up to a certain area, and spelling is a visual remembered process (what did you think it was?). So, I thought, if I get my daughter to use the correct method for spelling, that will solve her problem. And it did!

And as you can image, it gave quite a boost to her confidence level. And don’t you always feel good when you do something for your kids, that you know will help them in life?




Trains, Planes & Automobiles Goal Setting

You make goals, you break goals,
it’s all the same …
You know what you want but you just don’t know …
How to, go about gettin it
Feeling sweet feeling,
If I could only have this ….
(sung to the tune “Manic Depression” – by Jimi Hendricks)

What was the first thing – the very first thing -you did when you woke up today?

Was it turning off the alarm clock that woke you up?

Even though you were not yet conscious – you had an objective, a goal to perform – What was it? … (more…)




Introducing NLP

Posted on October 16th, 2011 by Bob Clarke No Comments

NLP – neuro linguistic programming techniques are easy to learn and apply. In fact, millions of people worldwide use NLP techniques every day: to overcome fears, increase confidence, enrich relationships, improve learning, and achieve greater personal and business success.

Neuro-linguistic programming lets you “re-program” negative emotions, patterns, and situations into positive emotions, patterns, and situations. When you use NLP techniques you positively influence yourself and those around you. You banish old, self-defeating patterns and create win-win situations with your spouse, children, co-workers, clients, friends – even complete strangers!

The result? Greater happiness, greater productivity, greater confidence and greater success.

And, neuro linguistic programming techniques are so subtle no one except you will know you’re using them! It’s like having your own, personal “Secret to Success”.
