Mark your calendars. 12 weeks of intense “Music Hacking” begins on October 15th. Visit Absolute Pitch University for all the details. But you must do it fast because seats are strictly limited.
Today’s topics include iConcertCal, Dream Recorder, Numbers, coaching, measurement ideas, NLP and the neurological levels, iPhone, Twitter, Facebook, the 300 workout, the need for new friends, missing Katie, some cool HD podcasts, and Dwight Schrute and The Office.
My previous attempt at a time-tracking script worked well for a while. But I wanted something that was self-contained so I could share it with my friends and coworkers. I also wanted to cut down on key strokes.
I’m into systems. I love figuring out how to get from point A to point B and then optimizing the process as efficiently as possible. Better yet, I love being able to turn a system on and not have to think about it again.
This is one of those systems. I’m an entrepreneur. I don’t have [...]
This exercise builds your resources and congruence. Start by standing in a place where you can take 5 steps backwards.
Think of a situation in which your behavior is not representative of who you really are, or who you would like to be, and you would like to have more choices.
Standing in position one, a place [...]
How to make intimate connections with yourself and others.
Neuro-Logical Levels are considered to be a Meta-Program in NLP. Specifically, these neuro-logical levels are categories of experience. In integral terms, I would consider them to be a typology that has a built-in hierarchy. They are not stages or levels that must sequentially arise. However, they do [...]
Time lines are particularly useful to Life Hackers. Since productivity is all about planning the future, putting finished things into the past, and figuring out what to do with the present, it is extremely important to understand how your mind codes time.
What’s interesting, is that everybody codes time differently. Even though there may be similarities [...]
Find another musician or composer — and with their permission — elicit the strategy they use to choose what to compose or the strategy they are using to compose a current piece of music. Use their strategy to decide what you are going to compose or to help you with the music you are currently [...]
Is it possible to restructure, unlearn or change old beliefs that may be limiting us and imprint new ones that can expand our potential beyond what we currently imagine? If so, how do we do it? And what exactly is a belief?
The dictionary defines a belief as “an idea or judgment held as true or [...]
Elicit from another musician their strategy for choosing what to practice each day. Make sure that you have a detailed sequence and make sure that it is a very different strategy from yours (if it isn’t, choose someone else). Use their strategy for choosing what you will practice tomorrow, knowing that this is only an [...]
Access a learning state fully. Remember a specific time when you were a virtual learning machine. What can you tell about your learning strategy? How do you know when it is time to learn something new? What internal steps do you take to ensure that you are learning the material or task? How specifically do [...]
The Building Blocks of Experience
Today we’re stepping out of our boxes. We’re going to experience some things you wouldn’t think had anything to do with your self-concept. I’m going to make it abundantly clear just how important this information is to you. So let’s begin…
As human beings we have 5 major systems that our experience [...]
Elicit your motivational strategy for dong something that’s not necessarily fun, like practicing scales. Next, elicit your motivational strategy for doing something you love, like jamming with your friends. Are these strategies the same or different? What are the most significant components in these two strategies? Are these components the same or different? What did [...]
While practicing your instrument today, notice your decision strategy for choosing what you are going to practice. Slow the decision process way down and write down each step of your strategy. Identify the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic components of your strategy. What do you see in your mind’s eye? What do you hear or say [...]
The Structure of Subjective Experience
Remember in The Matrix when Neo downloads Kung Fu into his brain? Wouldn’t it be great if life was really like that? What if I told you that there is a technology that allows you to “download” skills with amazing speed?
The technology I’m talking about exists. It’s call Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Long [...]
First of all, hypnotic language, I believe, has lost much of its power due to saturation in marketing and media. While many of the principles still apply, the actual language needs to evolve. The best case I have heard in support of this comes from Ari Galper. He understands this very well and has fresh [...]
A. Gaining someone’s trust is done by:
Creating rapport
Babysitting
Hiding your true intentions
Taking them to dinner
B. Hypnotic language patterns include:
Embedded commands
Command verbs
States, Processes, or Experiences
All of the above
C. Anchoring involves:
Bringing your prospects down
Eliciting a specific response
Shock treatment
A foot massage
D. Trance is:
A naturally occurring state
An altered state of mind
Bringing the unconscious into consciousness
All of the above
E. Values are:
The [...]
What if there was a way to distort a prospective customer’s sense of time and make it seem like they’ve already bought your product and have, in fact, enjoyed using it for a long time already. Would you look back at reading this paragraph, say a week from now, and realize that your entire life was a series of events that brought you to this very moment of understanding?
You may be thinking that we’ve covered some serious covert persuasion strategies so far. But this next Hypnotic Influence technique is truly a mind controlling strategy.
Just think for a moment, what was it that got you reading the words on this page? What was it that drew you to this information? More wealth, more power, [...]
The word “trance” conjurs up all sorts of images. Snake charmers, zombies, spaced out dreamers. But trance is really a naturally occuring state. We go in and out of trance many times throughout the day.
But trance is not our “normal” state of mind. Trance is an altered state of consciousness. The method by which we [...]
