Sleight Of Mouth If you’ve ever tried to persuade anybody of anything, you’ve likely encountered objections. Even trying to convince your girl to see an action movie instead of a romance movie will elicit objections. Got goals? What’s standing between you and them is your own objections. Of course, when you look out into the […]
Human Action
All humans are selfish, and everything we do is based on selfish desires. True, some of these are deep below our conscious awareness, but they are selfish nonetheless. One thing that makes this difficult to “get” is that we are also extremely good at conning ourselves, and we are also extremely sensitive to the opinions […]
Proper Positive Thinking Using Well Formed Goals
Many people have heard of “positive thinking.” To some, this is nothing more than some kind of Pollyanna-ish view that everything is just peachy, no matter what happens. In fact, I knew this guy in college that was heavy into the positive thinking mindset. He always had something positive to say, what a great day […]
Specifically Vague Magic
A large part of the Milton Model, upon which much of NLP and covert hypnosis is based on is vague. Vague meaning that many of the language patterns are specifically vague.

Embrace Objections
Whenever you’re selling something or aiming to convince somebody of your way of thinking, it’s common to be afraid of objections. Many times, hearing an objection feels the same as getting rejected.

When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?
Linguistic Presuppositions There’s a powerful set of language patterns called presuppositions. You can use these to imply some incredible things about you or your product or your idea, that makes it sound compelling to your listener or reader. But these can also be used destructively, and in fact this is how most people use them. […]
Unstoppable Intention
Once you start learning language patterns, you feel like a kid in a candy story. You begin to imagine all the amazing fun you can have with people, all the extra money you can make, and all the increased amount of fun you can install into your relationships. However, don’t forget that language patterns, NLP […]
What’s The Most Important Step?
Choosing goals isn’t an easy process. As much as we’d like to believe, it’s not as simple as looking in the mirror and saying something like, “you know, I think I’m going to lose a few pounds.” In NLP there’s a step by step system to choose your goals. And once chosen, they’re sometimes referred […]
How To Create Rapport
Rapport is essential for any persuasion, successful sales presentation, or even a friendly conversation with somebody you’ve known for a long time.
