Can you Change Your Mind and
Harness the power of your brain to Develop
Unshakable Confidence, Tap into your hidden talents,
create "instant Rapport" with strangers, eliminate
procrastination, get more done with less effort?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said it this way, "Your own
mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing
harmful can enter except by your promotion." Or in
other words, you are in control of your thoughts!
You can change them if you know how!
Have you ever given consideration to the idea
that, thoughts are habits of the mind? We get into a
rut of always thinking the same thoughts. In
response to a certain stimulus we think the same
thought. If someone cuts us off while driving do we
respond, “What an idiot” or “That guy is going to
cause an accident” or “Who was his driving
instructor?”
Some people might respond by zooming up behind
him and tailgating him. Most people would agree that
this is an unhealthy response. It could cause an
accident. Might actually surviving such an accident
change his future response? Would he learn that it
is a dangerous activity and not to do it anymore?
Certainly we are intelligent beings, we can learn
and change our responses. Could we change our
response without having an accident? Is it possible
to recondition our minds away from unhealthy
responses and toward healthy responses?
Imagine actually taking back control of your mind
and not being a victim of your previous
conditioning. Would you be interested in learning
how to recondition your mind and have the ability to
choose the responses you feel would produce the best
results? How about being able to just throw away the
bad (harmful, dangerous) responses? Do you think
that ability would be beneficial?
Recently, I listened to a tape series that has
taught me that your mind is the only thing you can
really control. You can’t completely control your
circumstances; there are always factors beyond you.
But you can control how you react to them and that
is what makes us human. This tape set teaches you
how to become truly human and take control of your
mind and your reactions rather than being a victim
of your own thoughts.
This amazing audiocassette series by Robert G.
Allen has done more to change my thinking than
almost anything I have ever seen (or heard).
Although the title is Empower Yourself … And Your
Downline don’t let that scare you off, it is a great
program even if you don’t have a downline! The
series was originally produced for a group of
Multi-level Marketers and we all know that they need
a great deal of motivation but this tape series
provides much more than just motivation.
The subtitle “How to Achieve Unlimited Success”
probably says it all. I enjoy listening to a variety
of tapes while driving and often found myself
riveted to the car almost tempted to drive around
the block to hear the rest of the truly mind
expanding secrets on each tape.
My favorite secret from this series is the
“Secret of the Gold Medal Champions” and how they
visualize their goals rather than just setting them
like ordinary people do. I’m sure you’ve been there,
(I know I have), New Years Day arrives and you make
a resolution (goal) and before the week is out
you’ve already given up! Is this what an Olympic
Champion would do? Of course not!
Somehow Champions have discovered the secret of
“Stick-to-it-iv-ness” or persistence… not giving up!
Do you think if you had more of this you could be a
Champion too? Winston Churchill was well known for
his speaking ability and once gave a graduation
speech at Harrow School in England. The basis of the
speech was “never, never, never, never … never give
in.”
In today’s speech we would say “Never give up” or
“Don’t quit”. Would you like to know the secret of
developing this type of persistence?
Well by using this secret of developing
persistence, you can kiss those broken resolutions
good-bye! I love it! This is actually the secret
many Gold Medal Olympic Champions used to achieve
their Gold Medals!
In addition to persistence, how would you like an
unlimited stockpile of “Confidence”? Another of my
Favorite lessons on this tape series is the
“Confidence Bank” this mind game shows you how to
save up confidence so that you can tap into it
whenever you are feeling a bit less than confident!
And the amazing thing about it is that it works for
other positive attitudes too! You can stockpile any
attitude not just confidence. How would you like
more determination, or patience, or self-control?
This method will work for all of them, or any other
positive attitude you decide to develop.
I have come to believe that Self-Image is one of
the most important characteristics of a winner. What
if you have a poor Self-Image? Does that mean that
you are doomed to a life of mediocrity? Most
motivational books tell you that you need to have a
positive self-image. But they never tell you how to
get it!
But this series actually walks you through the
steps necessary to develop a positive self-image.
You are not going to believe this one! Recently
while driving my 12 year old daughter to school, she
was complaining about being unpopular. I had just
listened to this tape series and had been struck by
the thought that popularity in school is a function
of self-confidence. I think the popular kids get to
be popular simply because they are more
self-confident than the other kids.
I explained these steps to my daughter and I
showed her how to become self-confident. A few days
later she came home absolutely glowing! She was no
longer one of the unpopular kids! I asked her how it
happened. She said, the popular kids had said
something unkind to her and she made a snappy
self-confident comeback. Believe it or not that was
all it took! One of the most popular boys said, “I
can’t believe you said that… you’re OK! And from
that point on she has been popular! It seems almost
too simple to be true, but that is exactly what
happened!
In addition to your self-confidence, can you
believe that you can easily change your Self-Image?
Would you believe that it is possible to adjust “The
Self Image knobs” and actually very simply change
how you see yourself and others? It is truly amazing
how this works!
If you are like me, before I heard this tape, you
are probably saying it is impossible! You are born
with your Self-Image. That is exactly what I
thought, or at least that is what I would have
thought… if I had thought about it.
I would never have believed it possible to change
your self-image except by slowly and methodically
succeeding at something, until after a long effort I
had built up my self-confidence. It seems logical
that we can build our self-confidence slowly but not
quickly. But “Empower Yourself” actually takes you
step by step through the process of “Changing your
Mind” as simply as turning a few knobs! This section
alone is worth the price of the set!
One of the stories Bob tells is of a young woman
who had been diagnosed with an extremely painful
case of “Endometriosis” and was unable to have
children. She was attending one of his seminars and
was in obvious pain. At one of the breaks he showed
her some of the mind games that we can consciously
play with ourselves to counteract the games our mind
plays with us unconsciously. This game allowed her
to turn down the negative voice inside her and turn
up the positive voice and unbelievably; he said he
could actually see the pain on her face subside.
Even more remarkably, he said that a mere six months
later she was pregnant! It is truly amazing what the
mind can do.
In another story he tells how he helped his young
son overcome a fear that kept waking him in the
middle of the night. He has used these same mind
games to help people who are deathly afraid of
crowds to be able to speak in front of hundreds of
people with just a few minutes of work! These are
people who had spent years paralyzed by fear! I know
if you are afraid of crowds, or water or whatever,
you will find it hard to believe, it certainly does
sound pretty unbelievable when I tell it, but after
hearing the method, and trying it myself I have to
admit it makes so much sense I can’t even tell you.
I’m simply at a loss for words.
All in all I have found this tape set to be
almost invaluable. Just curing one fear could cost
you thousands of dollars and hours upon hours if you
went to a Psychiatrist. You could spend thousands
more if you hired a personal trainer to teach you
the methods of becoming a Champion presented in this
tape set.
How much would you give to see your 12 year old
not have to suffer the constant teasing of
classmates?
What long-term effects will that transition to a
position of self-confidence have? Could it help her
set her sights higher and achieve greater things in
life?
Perhaps you were teased as a child and would like
to learn how to erase the effects even now? It is
possible!
You could easily expect to pay hundreds of
dollars for this set! And it would be well worth it.
But believe it or not this tape set is only $24.95!
He should be charging three times that much! I give
this program 5 Stars!
