Recover Your Self Esteem

We're always thinking of new ways to recover your self esteem. Self esteem is actually better described as self acceptance. When you accept yourself, you like yourself more. Many people can receive love only as much as they accept themselves.

Our colleague, Roch Preite, has particular experience in building and recovering self esteem. His personal and professional experience makes him successful with helping others.

Here are 3 Ideas for Recovering Self Esteem

• We know that when you slow down, relax and accept yourself, you have more power.


• You may need to overcome past trials and ordeals by completing new ordeals that provide evidence you've succeeded.


• Who do you know who likes and accepts themselves? Hang around with them more, develop relationships with them and notice their attitudes and beliefs.

How To Feel Understood By Friends, Family and Other People (and Influence Them Easily and Ethically).

As you know, many people feel as if they're not truly understood. Their husbands or wives don't understand them. This is serious, especially if it goes on for any period of time. Way too many people live in frustrating desperation, unhappiness or struggle. You know what it's like to wonder where the dream went. Sadly most just resign themselves to the situation.

Sometimes you can't figure people out. People want other people to do things for them.

Influence is a valuable thing, especially when you can make others happy while you get what you need and want.

There are at least 5 valuable insights you could gain including:

• Ways to convey your point easily so others see it, really listen and can agree with it,


• How to notice what secretly drives your partner, friend or family member.


• Secret methods from sales and marketing to win friends and understand others


• and personally profitable discoveries you won't want to miss.

I don't know if you will apply this information in your life, but I'm confident you will profit from it like our clients and students have gladly done.

You will discover how to read people quickly and feel instantly understood at September's Success Class. It's on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 7:00 PM.

This night's 90-minute seminar is about how to read people, how to be understood and how to influence others quickly, easily and ethically.

This information is easily worth twenty times the price of admission--hundreds of dollars in the form of a raise, peace of mind or a new sale. I don't know whether you will apply this information and discover the truth in this powerful statement. For one night only you can get it at a bargain and reap the rewards. The price is minimal compared to what you'll get. RSVP now and attend this seminar. Bring your questions, we'll answer them while you learn these techniques.

Hypnotists Need to Stop: Abuse of Persuasion

I have been paying attention to what's going on in the United States over the last year, and I was reminded of a story by Hans Christian Andersen. One day, a new emperor wanted to celebrate his ascension to power. Many of his subjects were so excited by his persona that they believed him no matter what he said or how he said it.

So tailors from all over the land were called in by his advisers to make the emperor some new clothes. The most impressive pair of men proposed a new suit made of the most expensive fabric and materials. These persuasive tailors described the suit they would make in such exquisite detail and such exciting promises that everyone, the emperor and his ministers and advisers were very impressed. The tailors asked for a lot of money, and they got the project.

Soon the grand day arrived, the emperor and his ministers were waiting. In walked the two persuasive tailors with a large box tied with purple ribbon. They described the finished suit and everyone was congratulating themselves and each other for making a smart decision. Then the box was brought forward and opened.

Unfortunately, the most persuasive tailors were scoundrels. The box appeared completely empty. Concerned, the entire court leaned forward, but before they could ask their questions, the two men smiled and said, "Naturally, this suit is made of the rarest and most expensive fabric in the world. Only the most intelligent people can see this fabric."



Of course the entire court, the emperor, hist ministers and his advisers couldn't see the new suit, but not wishing to appear stupid or even unintelligent, they all pretended that they could see the new suit. They remarked to each other, "How beautiful! This is the finest suit of clothes we've ever seen." The emperor, unwilling to be embarrassed about not seeing this rare fabric which only the smartest people could, reached for the box, took out the suit and put it on as best he could.

The scheduled parade was about to start, so every one went outside. They lined up and started walking around the city. Ahead of the procession, the ministers wanted to save face and avoid embarrassing the emperor. So they spread the word about the suit and special fabric. No one could see the clothes, but they all pretended they could because they wanted to pretend they were smart too and avoid embarrassment.

After walking through most of the city, they happened upon a little child who asked his mother, "Why is that man walking around in his underwear?" The mother shushed the child who asked even more insistently and loudly. Soon everybody realized the emperor was really just walking around in his underwear and there were no new clothes. The illusion was broken and everyone felt very ebarrassed.

The truth of this story is described in this earlier post from 2007.
