Within NLP, there is this set of language patterns called the Milton Model. All in all, there’s about thirty specific patterns that have been identified. On their own, they are very powerful, so long as they are contextual and said with rapport. For example, take the pattern, “the more…the more…” or more broadly said, “comparative..comparative..” […]
How To Copy Behavior
Sometimes you’ll see somebody doing something, and you’ll wish you could do it too. Maybe you see somebody on TV do something (real or pretend) or you’ll see somebody at work or somewhere doing something, like giving a persuasive presentation, or you’ll watch some YouTube vid, and think, “man I wish I could do THAT!” […]
What Are Your Filters?
The brain is an amazing organ. One that scientists won’t fully understand for several generations, at least. There’s this thing called a “pre-conscious filter,” and it’s the part of our brain that decides what gets presented to our conscious, “aware” minds, and what gets stored in our subconscious. There’s a few million bits of information […]
What’s The Meaning Of Life?
Meaning is a slippery thing. You say “hi” to somebody. You think it “means” that you’re being polite. They were expecting a hug, so they think it “means” you’re being rude. Who’s right? Are you both right? Are you both wrong? What’s the meaning of your life? Short answer: Whatever you want it to mean. […]
Explode Their Desire
All humans are pre-programmed with an insatiable desire for more stuff. No matter how much stuff you’ve got, you’ll always want more. This is human nature, and it’s why we are the predominant species on Earth. While every other animal was content to eat, sleep and have sex, somehow humans ended up with a burning […]
What Motivates You?
When you think about doing something, from where do you get more motivation? Are you motivated internally or externally? Internally, by your own criteria, and how you’ll judge yourself, or externally, based on the criteria of others and how they’ll judge you? For most of us, we’re a mix of both. Which is better? It […]
An Essential Skill
It’s always good to get an outside perspective. I’m sure you’ve known somebody that has been in some kind of “destructive” relationship, or doing some kind of “destructive” behavior. Everybody but them knows it’s not going to end well. You can talk to them till you’re blue in the face, but they just don’t get […]
What Is Congruence?
The more congruent you are, the more effective you’ll be. The less congruent you are the more you’ll put out vibes, on an unconscious level, that will turn people off. But what is congruence? Basically it means that all “parts” of you are on the same page. Let’s say you walk into a dealership, thinking […]
Where Does NLP Come From?
Plenty of people think that politicians are “trained” in NLP and are using some kind of super secret wicked powerful manipulation to woo the voters. That’s how they get away with such ridiculous shenanigans that would quickly land you are I in the clink. But are they really using NLP? Yes, and no. See, NLP […]
Second Conditional Magic
Most people don’t like to be told what to do. And whenever you come up with an idea, a product to sell, or a suggested action, most people will have objections. Often times, people will object just because they like to feel like they’re part of the decision making process. For example, your partner might […]
