Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you started something: working out, a new work regimen or wanting to do something new and you found yourself falling off track in just a few short weeks? It’s not your fault. You can thank the reptilian part of your brain for pulling you off track. However, that part of your brain is pulling you off track to keep you on track with your old habits, whether they serve you or not. Most people think they need the motivation to get things done, but that’s not necessarily true. Wanting motivation is wanting to do what you’re not already subconsciously and “brain” programmed to do. In this episode I talk about: [2:14] What has to precede motivation if you want to stay on track [3:13] How you’re probably starting in the wrong place “psychologically” with motivation [3:34] What sustains motivation [6:08] Why commitment most often needs to precede motivation [6:40] How self-integrity comes can keep you on track [22:11] Why motivation is driven by unconscious habits And much more… Stop working from motivation and start working from commitments and unconscious brain-based habits and see how quickly your life transforms! Transformational Takeaway: Motivation is sustained from your commitments, and your commitments are driven by your brain based habits.

Start Your Transformation Now I answer this question in two parts because it can be answered two ways. First, one of the biggest causes of unhappiness is that people refuse to accept life as it is at the moment. Most people are living in the past or the future and complaining about where they are not.  The “space” between where you are and your story about where you think you should be is what I call the “unhappiness gap for many people. We have to accept “what is” so that we can change and transform what is. Secondly, about seeing things as we want them to be. Einstein said, “Your imagination is your preview of coming attractions” in your life. Whatever you imagine, consistently, is what you program your unconscious mind with. Research demonstrates that poor people imagine staying poor and rich people imagine and daydream staying rich, hence, programming that manifest as behavior. Transformational Takeaway: Accept life as it is in the moment and be grateful for all your blessings in life and next, focus on what you want, not on what you do not have.

Start Your Transformation Now Fear, a dreadful disease of the mind. The one thing that keeps most people trapped in old ways, old relationships and old circumstances. Fear robs you of possibility and opportunity and it eats away at life like a parasite. One of the most powerful things we can do in this lifetime is to learn to transcend fear. When we do, what’s unknown becomes possible and what was once impossible becomes possible. In this episode I talk about fear from a higher perspective, from beyond simple irrational brain based fear. In this episode I discuss: [3:16] How most fear is related to survival but fearful thoughts are most times simply thinking of the past or future [5:57] Why fear is the cause of all suffering [6:34] Why when you focus on fear in grows in your awareness [8:30] How embracing our own death sets us free from ours fears [10:36] There are brain based fears which are addressed in another episodes, however, most fears are an illusion of the mind [19:21] And, the one paradigm that you can work from that sets you free from fear at the highest level of your being Listen to this episode and shift your perspective on the illusion of fear. Transformational Takeaway: Everything always has been, is now and will always be fine. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now “Can I fully overcome my negative thoughts even if I've been believing them for 40 years?” This is Jennifer’s question on this week’s Q&A episode. If you’re like Jennifer who has been battling over negative thoughts, then you’re going to love this episode. Negative thoughts are simply thinking. And a large portion of your thinking comes from your past experiences, which makes beliefs subjective interpretations. But how exactly do you define negative thinking? And to what degree are you negative? How will you know if you have overcome your negative thoughts? And what’s in it for you if you have overcome them? In this episode I discuss: [5:52] How beliefs could be subjective [7:24] How beliefs could be “archaic” [9:28] The 3 types of beliefs and how it creates a ripple effect in your life [15:05] How looking for contrary evidence of your negative beliefs could help you overcome it [22:56] How you move your attention from negative thoughts by using sub-modalities I expound on moving the attention to positive thoughts in the most simple and understandable manner through a brain-based dialogue. And a lot more… Transformational Takeaway: Your negative thinking was learned through events that happened many years ago. You made interpretations, created stories, then you created the belief. Then the belief is completely unconscious. Your negative thinking is nothing more than habitual. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now If you’ve ever struggled with asking for money or collecting it from clients or people, then you’re going to love this episode. In this Q & A episode Andrew asks, “I am attracting clients who don’t pay me, how do I stop this?” As you’ll hear in this episode, you’re not alone if you experience this very same thing. And what you have to understand is that more than likely it’s a matter of your subconscious identity and value relative to money. In this episode I discuss: [5:46] How it could be a matter of marketing [10:41] How people are afraid to charge what they are worth. [11:54] Why lowering your prices is not in anyone’s best interest. [13:28] Why you can charge whatever you want as long as you deliver. [14:45] How desperation chases away money. [16:48] How body language affects our credibility to get paid for our worth or our services’ worth [21:35] The reason it’s important to look like you have money if you ask for money. I also talk about the paradigm you want to work from mentally if you want to transform the money you get paid from clients. Transformational Takeaway: What characteristics and ways of BEing would you need to be, to attract and create the level of money you desire?

Start Your Transformation Now Are you more awake right this moment, or are you more awake when you’re “sleeping?” If you’re like most people you’re going to say you’re more awake right now, and that’s just not true. When you’re sleeping, you’re pure unfettered consciousness. Meaning, you are not trapped by the belief systems that you have learned to condition yourself to believe over the years. You can literally transform your life when you learn to use “dreamtime,” to heal, attract, evolve, access higher wisdom, and to guide your life. Truth be told, and this is hard for many to understand, being awake, like now as you’re reading this, and dreamtime are the same. It’s just a matter of advanced and higher awareness to understand this. In this episode we dive into: Everyone dreams even though many don’t remember Many great achievers used “dreamtime” to discover their inventions and innovations. How you problem solve in dreamtime. What you have to do to heal yourself in dreamtime. Simple ways to decipher dreams At the end of this episode, you will come to realize that dreamtime is going to be the most valuable part of your day because you can use it to create anything that you want. And of every episode I have created or will ever create, when you learn to “work and use’ dreamtime, you’ll truly be living from your highest potential as a being.
