unbelievable golden nuggets just sitting there for the taking. Two in particular that come to mind single-handedly shot me into orbit when I implemented them. I didn’t have the skills or tools to use them initially, but when I did they were waiting for me. 8) Failure was never an option. I came into this after winding down my previous business of 10 years. I had little money, and if I couldn’t make it work I don’t know what I would have done with myself. Someone people might have thought that going the “safe” route of a regular job makes more sense, but I knew in my heart that if I did that the dream would die with it. So even though I have a family to support and it would have been easy to “do the grownup thing” and go punch a clock, it was never a consideration. 9) I spent little money on things I didn’t absolutely need for the business. I’ve observed a lot people going on a spending spree while starting their new hypnosis business, buying things they think are essential. The reality is the only thing that’s essential is to go out there and start making money! And that doesn’t take much to do at all. 10) There’s a reason why I haven’t spoken about my hypnosis show at all on this list. The “show” part of this business is the frosting on the cake, but the “business” is where you’ll need to spend your time and energy. Without it, there is no show. Well, maybe the occasional one but not the kind of success we all dream about. I probably could have easily written 50 lessons as there’s so much more to reflect on, but for now I will wrap this up. As with any of my articles, I hope some of this may be of help and inspire others out there. I don’t think there was anything particularly remarkable
