Have you read the bit,

"People attend seminars, go on training courses,read self help or business books........ only to find their results don't change"

Talk about promoting your own training course hehe

Sounds like generic sales type NLP to me. Not a bad thing but you need to understand and appreciate wider perspectives on the subject matter to inherently change and deliver on it personally. This sort of stuff is peddled by many people.

I did a lot of reading a couple of years back about it as part of some CPD and found one author (after reading probably 15 different SME/authorities) on the subject matter who really made sense to me when I combined it with my professional mentor and it’s made some big impacts in my levels of success and achievement (personal and professional)

Apparently if you can tell him what you want, he guarantees that he can show you how to get it.

I can 100% guarantee that I can think up plenty of things that would be both illegal and impossible!

He will give you a few interesting tips, then sell his course or training at you. It could be 1hr45 of amazing stuff and 15 minutes of sales or 5 minutes of mildly interesting stuff and 1hr55 of sales.

"How To Master Your Mind To Achieve The Results You Really Want" blabla

Aka 'Think Your Way To Success'. The course that's been changing lives (and Rob Beggs bank balance) for years.

Five years ago I was nobody - then I went on this course. Now I'm still a nobody but I believe I'm on the cusp of becoming a well-paid rich person if I can master my mind and think my way to success biggrin

Having been to this sort of thing before it'll be this. With the added drawback that the 5mins of interesting stuff will be about an hour and a half into it.

These things are for one thing only- to sell you his paid course/books/video/seminar/whatever.
