How specifically do you know something is true ? NLP and success...
The NLP Keys to success are know your goal, take action, have sensory awareness, have behavioural flexibility and operate from a physiology and psychology of excellence...
This post is both a rant and a lesson for you.
I was in a local cafe recently which I had frequented as a customer. The coffee was good and there was a nice buzz to the place. Clientele included coaches, healers and business people as well as retail therapists...
The business had put my posters on their events notice board previously but I always ask if can I place another one there rather than presume upon their good will.
I was quite surprised when on this occasion I was refused and even more surprised by the reasoning.
To whit...The owner did not know what NLP or neuro linguistic programming is and is also not at all interested in finding out about it. Further more she was certain that it was of no interest to any of her clients. So there.
Take that !!
Her depth of knowledge about her clients tastes was overwhelming. And here is the lesson and where I tie this back into the NLP keys to success.
Sensory awareness or being aware of what is going on around you is one of the things that NLP teaches because without this information you do not really know if something is true or not.
There is another aspect to this which is something known as the metamodel which is a set of questions NLP practitioners learn on our NLP practitioner training
The metamodel question I could have asked was.."How do you know specifically that your clients are not interested in learning better ways of running their life ? "
But since she didn't know and didn't seem to want to know, I used one of the other NLP keys to success which is behavioural flexibility and left.
I could have used NLP persuasion skills to educate the woman about how she was actually doing a disservice to her clients by being a censor for what they can or cannot do with their lives.
But,,,
By using my sensory acuity I determined that it would be a waste of time and energy to attempt to convince her...
Here's the thing. Sometimes in our rush to "protect" people from what we do not know about, we often condemn them to the limitations of our own knowledge and beliefs.
Now....
Imagine if Orville and Wilbur Wright had listened to those who said man will never fly...
If Henry Ford had listened to the naysayers who stated that "these new fangled horseless carriages will never catch on. They are just a fad....!! "
Imagine what will happen if you listen to those who constantly tell you you can't do that it's not possible. Don't get too big for your boots etc etc etc. ( The people who tell you this never actually consider that boots also come in larger sizes...Doh )
Now think about what will happen if you ignore what they say and follow your dreams about what may be possible for you to achieve with your life..! I'm not saying it comes easily but the first person to believe it's possible has to be you...and just by allowing that it may be possible the task just got a whole lot easier because you have one less critic to listen to.
So, when ever someone says to you, "You can't do that" simply ask them.
"How do you know that, specifically ?"
( NLP Insider TIP: This includes YOU as well )
I now use another place to meet my clients, my business coach and my friends. All of whom use NLP in one way or another. ( just proves how well the owner knew her customers...)
For those of you who want to learn more about the keys to success and how to effectively use them, I am running two more free evenings about NLP and it's applications. Specifically: in relationships and also in accelerated learning. They are being held, respectively on the 10th and the 17th of July at our public venue. Petone Library meeting rooms in Britannia Street Petone.
Both of these Mini workshops commence at 6:15 pm and will end at around 8pm. The meeting room is warm and is draught free and conveniently located for public transport. There is free parking at the rear of the venue. Access is from the back of the venue and will be sign posted.
Come and find out what you can make possible.
PS I am also using another nlp skill here known as utilisation. What this means is that I am using what happened as a metaphor and a reason to teach you ways you can improve how you experience your life.
