WSH328 - Shelly Jo Wahlstrom on Feeding the Brain

One of the most beneficial mindsets we can adopt from the info-marketing world is that money is in the list. But all too often, hypnosis professionals drop the ball when it comes to building their list. For some, the concept stays at the bottom of their to-do list, never reaching the top of the priorities list. Others may have started the process of list-building but haven’t truly discovered the best approach or system to successfully build their list, provide valuable content, and turn those subscribers into paying clients. This week, I explain what it means to build your list. I share strategies you can use to get started and how using email auto-responders can make the list-building process much easier and quicker. I discuss why you shouldn’t get discouraged when people unsubscribe from your list and what it actually means. I explain why you need to lead with value when creating your email content and why you don’t always need a call-to-action in your emails. I explain how to segment your subscriber list and how it helps you organize them for future promotions. I also discuss why you should create opt-in offers for each page of your website and how to use your list to continue interacting and communicating with your social media followers – even when those platforms become non-existent. Want more like this?

We discuss how she explains multidimensional consciousness to her clients, how her clients typically respond to meeting their highest selves during a Quantum Realm session, and how she helps them develop realistic expectations following a session.

Nicole Weber is the Founder of Performability, LLC, a performance coaching company where she helps female athletes, entrepreneurs, performers, and executive leaders overcome imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and self-sabotage to achieve greater confidence and success. She is also the Founder of Equihypnose, a hypnosis practice currently based in Germany that specifically focuses on helping equestrians overcome their fear, anxiety, and nervousness of riding horses. Nicole holds a Master’s degree in Social Sciences and is a certified hypnotist, hypnosis instructor, and Equine Assisted Mental Health Practitioner, just to name a few. She also offers medical hypnosis and is a Reiki Master Teacher. Nicole joins me today to share her journey into hypnosis and how she began her career by starting with what she was already familiar with. We discuss how she expanded her hypnosis practice to serve new categories and her streamlined approach to doing regression in a disassociated state. We discuss why the cause of your client’s fear, anxiety, or nervousness doesn’t need to impact the hypnotic process you use to help them overcome it and how the energy you create in a hypnosis environment can determine the success of the suggestion. We also discuss Nicole’s definition of performance and impostor syndrome, why impostor syndrome impacts high-achievers and neuro-divergent individuals, and how Nicole helps her clients overcome it. Join us at our next certification course LIVE and ONLINE at: https://worksmarthypnosislive.com/  “You don’t have to regress to a certain incident.

Have you ever wondered why infomercials still exist, even when they’re only seen by a very small number of viewers? How can it be worthwhile for companies to invest so much time, money, and resources into producing an infomercial only to have it air during the extremely late or early morning hours when most people are still sleeping?  Even in the age of on-demand movies and despite the small viewership - infomercials are still a widely used marketing strategy because of their effectiveness. And their effectiveness is largely due to the concept of “Show and Tell” – showing customers what they’ll get and selling the product to the customer… even before the presenter asks for the sale. This week, I explore how hypnosis professionals can offer hypnotic demos to get new clients. I explain how using demos can help you break a potential client’s prior expectations about hypnosis while simultaneously introducing new ones. I explain why the key to successfully turning your audience into paying clients is to get them to interact with you during your presentation. I also share strategies you can use to amplify the environment and location of your presentation. Join us at our next certification course LIVE and ONLINE at: https://worksmarthypnosislive.com/  “The more you have them interacting during the presentation, the more you have them interacting after the presentation.” - Jason Linett ●     Using demos as a way to break prior expectations and introduce new ones●     The impact of using a lectern at a free hypnosis demo●     Getting the crowd to interact with you during the presentation●     Leaning on your past success and the success of your profession●     Amplifying the environment and location of your presentation●     How to effectively use PowerPoint slides in your hypnotic demo Resources Mentioned: ●     Podcast Episode: Session #270 - Priming with Hypnotic Convincers ●     ICBCH Train-the-Trainer Program●     Podcast Episode: Session #1 - The All-Positive Pre-Talk●     Google Scholar●     The Velvet Rope Strategy Join our next online certification course… wherever you are in the world!●     https://WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/  Get an all-access pass to Jason’s digital library to help you grow your hypnosis business: ●     https://www.hypnoticbusinesssystems.com/ Get instant access to Jason Linett’s entire hypnotherapeutic training library:●     https://www.hypnoticworkers.com/ If you enjoyed today’s episode, please send us your valuable feedback! ●     https://www.worksmarthypnosis.com/itunes ●     https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ Join the new WORK SMART HYPNOSIS COMMUNITY on Facebook!●     https://www.facebook.com/groups/worksmarthypnosis/  Want to work with Jason?

It’s not uncommon that we find ourselves in situations where our belief systems and our model of the world are put into question. Whether on a personal or a professional level, there are inevitably moments where our beliefs, values, and perspectives on the world differ from those of the people around us. Yet, on the surface, they may seem starkly different; digging deeper can often reveal how similar – and even intertwined – these belief systems truly are. This week, I discuss the similarities between most spiritual beliefs and how hypnosis practitioners can modify their hypnosis process based on the client’s individual belief systems. I discuss why it’s important for hypnosis professionals to understand their role as a ‘chameleaon’ in the client’s journey to amplify the client’s desires instead of trying to help them adopt your perception, beliefs, and model of the world. I also discuss how every habit – even ‘bad’ – can be perceived as a strength in certain situations and share stories and examples of how I addressed varying spiritual and religious belief systems while working with clients. Join us at our next certification course LIVE and ONLINE at: https://worksmarthypnosislive.com/ “It’s that ability to meet our clients where they are and help them get to where they wish to go.” - Jason Linett ●      The similarities between seemingly different belief and value systems●      Helping clients achieve what they want based on their perception of the world ●      Redefining habits as strengths in certain situations●      How I address varying spiritual and religious belief systems when working with clients●      How accepting the client’s perception of the world can impact their hypnotic change experience Join our next online certification course… wherever you are in the world!●      https://WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/ Get an all-access pass to Jason’s digital library to help you grow your hypnosis business: ●      https://www.hypnoticbusinesssystems.com/ Get instant access to Jason Linett’s entire hypnotherapeutic training library:●      https://www.hypnoticworkers.com/ If you enjoyed today’s episode, please send us your valuable feedback!●      https://www.worksmarthypnosis.com/itunes●      https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ Join the new WORK SMART HYPNOSIS COMMUNITY on Facebook!●      https://www.facebook.com/groups/worksmarthypnosis/ Want to work with Jason?

As business owners, it’s important for us to continue finding ways to improve ourselves, our offerings, and our brand overall. Even when things seem to be going well, there’s always room for improvement. Whether those improvements come in the form of professional development or something much larger like rebranding your business to align with new goals and a new mission, making tweaks, changes, and pivots are part of the entrepreneurial journey. This week, I share some of the exciting new changes that are taking place inside my hypnosis business. I discuss what you can expect from version 3.0 of my Work Smart Hypnosis website, including a new blog feature and fully transcribed podcast episodes. I also explain how my business focus shifted in unexpected and unintended ways and how paying attention to what my clients were requesting has helped me shift my business focus to serve them better.  “Even as things are at their best, that is the opportunity to put a whole new fresh coat of paint on something and make it even better.” - Jason Linett ●      Version 3.0 of my website●      Fully transcribed Work Smart Hypnosis Podcast episodes●      How my business focus has shifted over the years●      Embracing renovations within your own business●      My upcoming book Resources Mentioned: ●      Attract Pre-Sold Clients●      www.worksmarthypnosis.com/facebook●      https://worksmarthypnosis.com/facebookjason/  Join our next online certification course… wherever you are in the world!●      https://WorkSmartHypnosisLIVE.com/ Get an all-access pass to Jason’s digital library to help you grow your hypnosis business: ●      https://www.hypnoticbusinesssystems.com/ Get instant access to Jason Linett’s entire hypnotherapeutic training library:●      https://www.hypnoticworkers.com/ If you enjoyed today’s episode, please send us your valuable feedback!●      https://www.worksmarthypnosis.com/itunes●      https://www.facebook.com/worksmarthypnosis/ Join the new WORK SMART HYPNOSIS COMMUNITY on Facebook!●      https://www.facebook.com/groups/worksmarthypnosis/ Want to work with Jason?

People often believe they have to do things one specific way to succeed. A great example is niching. Many hypnotists believe that they have to pick a niche to be successful. After all, everyone we know in the hypnosis industry, myself included, is known for one specific thing they do exceptionally well. But can I let you in on a little secret? Nearly every single one of them also sees clients for other things. Just because you become recognized as an expert in one specific area or niche does not mean you have to focus your business exclusively on that area. As business owners, we have the power – and permission – to run our hypnosis businesses however we choose; to explore new paths that may lead to success. This week, I discuss a little-known secret about niching. I discuss why most hypnotists need to shift their mindset from ‘I need to niche’ to focus on offering services they’re most passionate and excited about. I explain how niching is typically used as a marketing strategy and business principle. I also explain why you shouldn’t let niching block you from exploring new passions, opportunities, and successes and share tips on how you can begin to ‘niche to get rich.' Get your all-access pass to my hypnosis business training library today, and let’s take your hypnosis business to the next level!
