			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #000000;">The classic NLP technique with a very important twist&#8230;</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Break Free of The Chains </span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
</span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">That Bind You In Your Life</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br />
</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Change Your Personal History With This Top NLP Trainer</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Doug O&#8217;Brien is recognized throughout the world as one of the top NLP trainers.  He&#8217;s just done something that was nearly impossible.  He&#8217;s taken the old NLP Change Personal History and made a significant change that is really good news for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here&#8217;s what this is all about:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The Change Personal History was one of the main NLP techniques.  It effectively erased years of trauma, negative messages, and self-defeating behavior.  It&#8217;s a powerful technique that gets great results but there&#8217;s just one drawback.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">It Takes Two To Tango</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The way the technique was designed, it took two people to make this technique work.  But now, Doug has reworked the technique so you can perform this technique on your own.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">So why would you want to perform this technique?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Well, imagine years of negative talk in your mind.  Perhaps originally planted there by a teacher or a parent.  It may have left some damage that has affected the way you interact with your friends, family or loved ones.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Or imagine a traumatic episode when you were a child that left a lasting impression.  Could this be holding you back from success right now?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Doug O&#8217;Brien has made it simple to make powerful changes in your life.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“There are only a handful of people in the country  whom I have personally trained and am totally confident in recommending.  Doug O’Brien is one of these few.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>- Anthony Robbins, Author of “Unlimited Power” and “Awaken the Giant Within”</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Doug O&#8217;Brien has made it simple to make powerful changes in your life.  His Change Your Personal History DVD is a modern masterpiece.  It walks you through the technique in a simple step-by-step process.  It&#8217;s simple; anyone can do it.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“I have known Doug O’Brien for many years and have  been consistently impressed with his skill and integrity. Doug is one of  the rare teachers who is able to integrate NLP and Ericksonian  hypnosis, so that students develop both conscious and unconscious  competence. I confidently endorse him as a trainer, and as a person.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>- Robert Dilts, Co-Developer of NLP and Author of NLP Vol 1.”</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>“I Highly recommend Doug O’Brien of Doug O’Brien and  Associates. He is continually updating and training with the most  up-to-date skills I have developed.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>- Richard Bandler, Co-creator of NLP</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">I&#8217;m Jealous!</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For years </span>I&#8217;ve wanted to create a DVD for the Change Personal History technique but I couldn&#8217;t figure out a way to do it with just one person.  But Doug has done it in a personable and caring way.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve watched this DVD and give it my highest endorsement.  I recommend you get it and change your life today.</p>
<p>The cost of the DVD is just $45 plus $5 US Shipping or $12 International Shipping.</p>
<p>These DVDs are ready to go.  Just order your copy and experience the power of NLP in your life.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the greatest lessons Dave Dobson taught was about interrupting patterns.  On the Internet, we think of the &#8220;Kern method&#8221; of interrupting people&#8217;s patterns in their daily lives so we can sell better.</p>
<p>Dave wasn&#8217;t in to that at all.  He detested selling himself.  He thought the best advertisement was helping someone get to a better place.  And the way he did it very often was by interrupting peoples&#8217; patterns.</p>
<p>Dave was a brutal lion on the outside but a gentle pussy cat on the inside.  One minute he would roar and the next minute he would drop into his hypnotic voice and begin talking funny to you.</p>
<p>Dave loved a good joke. Blond jokes. Dirty jokes. Jewish jokes.  He didn&#8217;t discriminate.  If it was funny, he would laugh at his own jokes until his body shook.</p>
<p>But Dave didn&#8217;t just tell jokes.  He was using them strategically to interrupt peoples&#8217; patterns.</p>
<p>I went to see Dave when my hypnosis business was failing.  I was at wits end.  And Dave just started telling really bad jokes.  Finally, I had to crack a smile and Dave asked me a question, &#8220;When was the last time you sang I&#8217;ve been working on the railroad?&#8221;  </p>
<p>Dave insisted that I sing that song when I paid my bills.  Eventually people would wonder why they heard the words of the song coming from my office.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s where the magic came in.  From the day I began singing &#8220;Ive Been Working on the Railroad,&#8221; my business turned around and it began to soar.</p>
<p>Dave&#8217;s birthday was June 30 and I miss the old codger.</p>
<p>Take some time and interrupt your own patterns.  Get some apps that tell jokes.  Watch some funny videos on youtube.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few videos Dave would have liked. And as he would say, &#8220;I Double-Dog dare you&#8221; not to laugh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Produce Letters Like An A-Level Copywriter </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Even If You&#8217;ve Never Written A Word of Copy In Your Life</span></h2>
<h3>Here&#8217;s an experiment I would like you to do right now.</h3>
<h3>1. Pick up your pen in your hand and sign your hand normally.</h3>
<h3>2. Now, pick up your pen again but this time, try to copy that signature as closely as you can.</h3>
<h3>3. Now, pick up your pen with your non-dominant hand and try to sign your name being as careful as possible to copy it as closely as you can.</h3>
<h3>4. Finally, pick up your pen with you non-dominant hand and sign your name as quickly as possible.</h3>
<h3>Do you notice any differences?  Most people do.</h3>
<h3>When you sign your name as quickly as you can with your less dominant hand, that&#8217;s an example of unconscious incompetence.  You don&#8217;t have good control of what your doing and it shows.</h3>
<h3>When you carefully sign your name with your less dominant hand, that&#8217;s an example of conscious incompetence.  You are trying.  It&#8217;s just not very good.</h3>
<h3>When you sign your name with your dominant hand and you are copying the signature, it&#8217;s an example of conscious competence.</h3>
<h3>And finally, when you sign your name quickly with your dominant hand, it&#8217;s an example of unconscious competence.</h3>
<h3>Typically, when someone does something on the mastery level, it&#8217;s on the level of unconscious competence.</h3>
<h3>That&#8217;s the way I swipe a letter.  It&#8217;s fast.  And it&#8217;s good.</h3>
<h3>Letters I&#8217;ve swiped in 90 minutes (or less) have sold millions of dollars of products.</h3>
<h3>I swiped the Annihilation Method letter in 90 minutes in front of a live audience. It sold one million dollars in 20 minutes.</h3>
<h3>I dictated a letter for Ryan Deiss where he was my personal secretary in an hour.</h3>
<h3>It sold$4 million in a nicheI don&#8217;t even like writing for.</h3>
<h3>At the last NLP Copywriting seminar with David Gordon,  he spent the day analyzing how I swipe a sales letter. And my friend, Anthony Coyce called me with an idea&#8230;</h3>
<h3>&#8220;Dude. There are lots of people who need what David Gordon taught that day but can&#8217;t afford the NLP Copywriting 2 Set.  Break out the second day where it&#8217;s David Gordon teaching and make a set on How to Swipe a salesletter.&#8221;</h3>
<h3>&#8220;There are a lot of copywriters who stare at the screen and never know what to write.  <strong>Your product takes them step by step from zero to dynamite sales letter within a couple of hours instead of a couple of days.&#8221;</strong></h3>
<h3>&#8220;But dude.  They can&#8217;t afford the whole set.  It&#8217;s like $1300 or something. It&#8217;s like showing a starving man a picture of a steak dinner.  You HAVE to do something.&#8221;</h3>
<h3>But he made me think.</h3>
<h3>Now this is going to piss some people off,</h3>
<h3>It&#8217;s not just copywriters who can use this.  ANYONE who wants to write like a pro can use this to kick out A-Level copy.</h3>
<h3>The price of the whole DVD set is $1297.  And it&#8217;s a bargain.  But if I cut out the first part of the seminar and only gave the section with David Gordon, I could help people who can&#8217;t afford my regular product.</h3>
<h3>This product is the fastest way to get wickedly good in the shortest possible time.</h3>
<h3>David Gordon is one of the founders of NLP.  And he got inside my mind to find out exactly how I do everything from select a swipe to how I go through a sentence one line at a time.</h3>
<h3>So Sandra and I checked and there are 6 DVDs where David Gordon models me.  It&#8217;s nearly half the entire set.</h3>
<h2><strong>Introducing: The Art of The Swipe</strong></h2>
<h3>I&#8217;ve taken the Fillet Mignon and packaged it in a set for people who want to learn How To Quickly and Easily Swipe A Winning Sales Letter.</h3>
<h3>And I&#8217;m going to price it at a McDonald&#8217;s price.  Just $297 for the set of six DVDs.</h3>
<h3>But for one week only, since it is in pre-publication and won&#8217;t ship until July 5, I&#8217;m cutting $100 off that price.  But believe me, as soon as they are in stock, the price goes up.</h3>
<h3>So get on this now.  Like today.  And you can thank Anthony.  The price is $197 plus shipping.</h3>
<h3>And yes this product can be returned anytime in the next year but check your mental cavity because if you return this, you&#8217;re missing something upstairs.</h3>
<h3>This is not something you should miss.  You know how everything you read on the Internet is a bunch of hype&#8230; well this isn&#8217;t.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an email I sent out yesterday to my Hypnotic Secret list:</p>
<p>Subject Line: Blue Balls.  Not What You Expect.</p>
<p>You are receiving this email because you signed up at The Hypnotic Secret.com</p>
<p>The news out of Rome is shocking.</p>
<p>Italian police have seized 70,000 balls of mozzarella cheese because they turned blue when the packages opened.</p>
<p>The police and the agriculture ministry are investigating the world&#8217;s largest case of blue balls.</p>
<p>You see, mozzarella cheese is the pride of Italy.  </p>
<p>They serve it on everything for pizza to salads.  They probably even have mozzarella gelato.</p>
<p>And it it&#8217;s turning blue&#8230;</p>
<p>Could it be poison?  </p>
<p>But Italians were shocked this weekend to discover their &#8220;Italian&#8221; mozzarella cheese isn&#8217;t really mozzarella.</p>
<p>And it isn&#8217;t really Italian either.</p>
<p>Real mozzarella cheese in Italy is made from buffalo milk.</p>
<p>This stuff is not.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not made in Italy either.  It&#8217;s imported and re-packaged.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s shocking when you realize something you trusted isn&#8217;t what you expected.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the same way with The Secret.</p>
<p>THEY CHANGED THE LAW OF ATTRACTION TO MAKE IT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC.</p>
<p>Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, teaching people about the Law of Attraction is great.</p>
<p>Changing it and diluting it is not.</p>
<p>And when you start changing the ingredients without telling anyone.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t get results.  You get blue balls of mozzarella.</p>
<p>What Rhoda Bryne did was re-write the Law of Attraction to fit her image.</p>
<p>She took Esther Hicks out and left her on the editing floor.</p>
<p>And she took out all mention of taking action.</p>
<p>You were left with ask, believe, receive.</p>
<p>Whoops!</p>
<p>What happened to take action?  It&#8217;s not there anymore!</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s why so many people don&#8217;t get results with The Secret.</p>
<p>So if you want the real deal, take action now.</p>
<p>Click here to get The Hypnotic Secret.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the real deal.</p>
<p><a href="http://thehypnoticsecret.com/secret/index2">http://thehypnoticsecret.com/secret/index2</a></p>
<p>Peace,</p>
<p>Harlan</p>
<p>I created a contest and got a number of entries:</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the winning entry from Lee Marcus of Florida.</p>
<p>Harlan, here&#8217;s what you&#8217;re doing in the great e-mail you sent out today.</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Pattern interrupt:  the subject line starts with &#8220;Blue Balls,&#8221; which interrupts the readers&#8217; patterns when the readers are scanning their e-mail in-box.  &#8220;Blue balls&#8221; is a slang phrase relating to sex, and sex grabs the readers&#8217; attention if the readers understand the phrase.  Plus, since you are very religious, a subject line starting with a slang phrase relating to sex surprises me much more than it would if the e-mail were coming from, for example, a sports blogger.  So the subject line grabs the readers&#8217; attention and forces them to open the e-mail, regardless of how busy they might be.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Humor, to get the readers on your side:  you retell the news story about the tainted cheese in a way that makes the story much funnier, because it&#8217;s you, not the regular news stories, that refer to the tainted cheese as &#8220;blue balls.&#8221;  So you reward the readers for reading by giving us readers a good laugh.</p>
<p>3 &#8211;  Making clear the point of your retelling the cheese story:  you highlight, in ways the news agencies did not, how the tainted cheese is fake and how, even if it were not tainted, it would still be disappointing, because it says it is made in Italy but was really made in Germany and calls itself mozzarella although it contains no buffalo milk.  So you emphasize how much of a forgery the tainted cheese it.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; Metaphor:  You use the metaphor of the fake cheese to introduce the important way in which Rhonda Byrne&#8217;s book and film The Secret changed the Law of Attraction to make her book and film sell more copies than it would if she had told the truth about the Law of Attraction.  And because you related The Secret to the fake cheese, which is also tainted, your readers will infer that The Secret is tainted, too, in its own way.  </p>
<p>5 &#8211; Problem and agitate:  You have revealed a key fact:  that The Secret is a fake version of the Law of Attraction, and The Secret cannot teach anyone how to succeed with the Law of Attraction.   You have revealed a problem that all readers and viewers of The Secret will encounter.  Then you have agitated to make those readers and viewers feel cheated and lied to.</p>
<p>5 &#8211; Solution:  You present the solution, which is YOUR fine product, The Hypnotic Secret.  </p>
<p>6 &#8211; &#8220;Tell them what to do&#8221;:  You have revealed that what is missing from The Secret is the necessity to take action.  Then you tell your readers to practice the Law of Attraction by taking action to get the REAL guide to implementing the Law of Attraction, and that real guide happens to be your product, The Hypnotic Secret.</p>
<p>Although I bought The Hypnotic Secret as soon as I received your first e-mail about it, today&#8217;s e-mail about Blue Balls is so good I want to buy The Hypnotic Secret all over again!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Lee Marcus</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s go over the key points:</p>
<p>1. Pattern Interrupt: Absolutely.  Super effective.  It&#8217;s the number one technique Frank Kern uses.</p>
<p>2. Humor &#8211; I dance around the double meaning of blue balls.  Humor was used by Erickson, Dobson, and Bandler. It too is a pattern interrupt.</p>
<p>3. Metaphor. In my opinion the single most powerful NLP technique.  Used recently by Frank Kern in his &#8220;Mysterious Stranger&#8221; video.</p>
<p>4. Specific offer &#8211; you tell them what to do.</p>
<p>So congratulations Lee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I&#8217;m typing this blog post, there&#8217;s a hypnotic voice going in my ear.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not the voice of a hypnotist however.  It&#8217;s the voice of the most successful life insurance salesman of all time.</p>
<p>His name is Ben Feldman and someone recently gifted me with a rare set of his recordings.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m listening to Ben&#8217;s voice as he explains exactly how he made that much money.</p>
<p>Stories about Ben are legendary but only when NLP came along did people discover&#8230;</p>
<p>Ben Feldman is using many of the same language patterns of Milton Erickson.</p>
<p>But the number one success pattern Ben used rarely failed.</p>
<p>People would book an insurance sales call with him and Ben would come and&#8230;</p>
<p>NOT talk about insurance.</p>
<p>Instead, he pulled out a book called, &#8220;The Life of Ernest Hemingway.&#8221;</p>
<p>And would begin talking about Hemingway&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>And after talking with the prospect for a while (about Ernest Hemingway) the client would look up after a few minutes and ask&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;How much insurance do you think I need?&#8221;</p>
<p>The technique is known as Therapeutic Metaphor.  It was invented by Erickson but most people didn&#8217;t get it at all.</p>
<p>In fact, in the beginning of the book &#8220;Hypnotic Realities&#8221; by Erickson and Rossi, they analyzed a hypnotic induction of Milton Erickson.</p>
<p>And when Erickson began to tell a story, Rossi turned the recorder OFF!</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t get that the story was the main part of the process.</p>
<p>The first person to fully explain Erickson&#8217;s patterns of Therapeutic Metaphor was David Gordon.</p>
<p>This is the one technique I&#8217;d never leave home without.</p>
<p>Ben Feldman used it to sell more life insurance than any other agent in history.</p>
<p>Frank Kern just used it to sell 4 millions dollars worth of a digital product called &#8220;List Control.&#8221;</p>
<p>And you don&#8217;t have the ONLY set of DVDs with David Gordon teaching this technique?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to London to attend an NLP workshop.  While I was there, I mentioned to a friend that I was having a problem with my legs cramping during yoga.</p>
<p>I had tried many different treatments including massage, acupressure, herbs, vitamins, and foot work but I was still painfully cramping in yoga.  He asked, &#8220;Harlan. Don&#8217;t you live in Boca?  Why don&#8217;t you see Joe X?&#8221;</p>
<p>I never heard of Joe X and he was impossible to find online. Eventually I tracked him down and discovered this guy was the real deal.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s an NLP trainer and bodyworker with an international following.  And it turns out, his office is directly across the street from mine.</p>
<p>Within a session or two, my problem was GONE!  But I&#8217;ve continued to go to Joe and learn from him about what he does.   There&#8217;s a funny thing about working with Joe.  While he&#8217;s working on you, he starts to talk kind of funny and my eyes close and out I go.</p>
<p>Joe is doing classical conversational hypnosis.  There is no formal trance.  Just ordinary conversation and out I go.</p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m not the only one who notices this.  When Richard Bandler had a recent stroke, he told the hospital the only person he would let work on him was Joe.  Hmmm. I wonder why.</p>
<p>Now Joe has no products explaining what he does or how he does it but I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get one out of his sooner or later.  But I&#8217;d like you to take away one thing I learned from him.</p>
<p>When I work with Joe, he works on only one side of my body for most of the session.  And shortly before the end, Joe touches the other side and says, &#8220;And your unconscious knows how to take all the learnings and transfer them here&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p>And the connections are made.</p>
<p>Now imagine being able to harness that kind of power in your writing so the reader makes the connection.</p>
<p>But that would create a new style of copywriting, wouldn&#8217;t it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Warning: This post is not for the faint at heart.</p>
<p>NLP was founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.  The two of them co-taught in seminars across the United States (and the world).  At one point, they even did a show on the Las Vegas strip.</p>
<p>As personalities, the two could hardly be more dissimilar.  Bandler was the PT Barnum showman.  He regaled the audience with stories during the trainings.  Grinder was the professor.  He taught techniques and was in love with the structure of change.</p>
<p>Bandler developed a pattern he still uses today.  He tells wild stories to induce certain emotional states.  He chains these states together.  And he uses nested loops to conceal these chains from prying eyes.</p>
<p>Grinder is still the professor.  He lectures the audience on the structure of change.  Currently, he is teaching the &#8220;New Code&#8221; of NLP.</p>
<p>The lesser lights in the NLP world included Leslie Cameron (Bandler), Judy DeLozier, David Gordon, Robert Dilts, Stephen Lankton, Stephen Gilligan, Steve and Connirea Andreas, and many more.  They were very talented teachers who created high quality trainings.</p>
<p>Somewhere along the line, a new model of training arose in the &#8220;Bandler camp&#8221;.</p>
<p>In this model, people were no long &#8220;Instructed&#8221; in NLP.  The presenter got on the stage and &#8220;did NLP&#8221; without offering any instruction.  He would tell wild stories, elicit and install states, tell nested loops and in the end, the audience &#8220;got the material&#8221; on a deep level.</p>
<p>The problem was, the attendees couldn&#8217;t do any of the things they learned.  That&#8217;s because they learned it on an &#8220;unconscious&#8221; level.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to tell you it&#8217;s a load of crap.</p>
<p>If you attend an NLP training, you need to get the skills and be able to apply them.</p>
<p>All of this &#8220;you got them on an unconscious level&#8221; is bunk.</p>
<p>Either you can do them or not.</p>
<p>One of the best things Dave Dobson used to teach was, &#8220;Can you empirically prove OTCC in the real world.&#8221;  If you couldn&#8217;t, you obviously didn&#8217;t have a grasp of the real world skills.</p>
<p>So if you plan to attend a training, ask if the trainer believes in &#8220;unconscious installation&#8221; of skills.</p>
<p>If they say &#8220;yes&#8221;, run the other way.</p>
<p>Peace,</p>
<p>Harlan</p>
