Hypnosis isn't magic - but it is very close

Most people have no idea what hypnosis is...how simple and powerful it can be. They are just used to seeing the entertainment side on TV and they think it is...

The PR claim is "All Hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis." The naysayers are nitpicking about the unconscious state, yet that is only attainable by permission only. One cannot be hypnotized without his consent. Any other process is most likely a…

The rub is the unconscious state. All of the other primary brain states, i.e working in the conscious, semi-conscious and sub conscious realms are typically not of issue because the client's thinking brain is still active to some degree.…

I think the Brand name "Hypnotherapy" is fairly toxic to the general public in mass. That is why we are not inundated with 100s of calls every day by over eager clients. Self Hypnosis Coaching with ample emphasis on how the client has all…

Absolutely the best way for you to get more clients quickly. Why do so few people get this right?

Posted on January 25, 2010 at 11:34am 6 Comments

I am constantly amazed at how many people miss the opportunity right under their noses to get more clients online.



Every day I visit hypnotherapy websites which fail to tell the visitor the most basic of information. ie. exactly what you do and where you are based.



It's as simple as this.



If you are a hypnotherapist based in city A, then all you need to do is to make that very clear on your website and you will do so much better than you probably do right… Continue

A VERY Effective Tip You Can Use Immediately to Get More Hypnotherapy Clients From Google

Posted on December 21, 2009 at 5:07pm 4 Comments

The key to building a successful hypnotherapy practice starts with making a big impact locally. And the most effective way to do that is increasingly becoming through the internet search engines.



Getting good search engine results for your website can take a very long time. One way to get listed much more quickly near the top of Google's listings is by registering with the Google Local Business Center.



You can go there right now and enter your business details… Continue

I’ve been speaking to dozens of hypnotherapists over the last couple of weeks, and working hard to help them overcome their current constraints and obstacles to achieve success in their practices.



Two of the most pressing and urgent problems in our profession are:



1. Practitioners not getting enough client enquiries and struggling to fill the diary



2. Practitioners not getting enough of the kind of clients they really enjoy working with and can really connect… Continue

One Very Quick Question From Me – One Very Big Quest For You!




Are you achieving everything you’re capable of with your hypnosis practice?



Do you sometimes feel that you’re selling yourself a little short or that there must be more success and fulfillment right under your nose?

Hi Ed, thanks for the friend invitation. Your knowledge and information has crossed my path at the perfect moment. I've started putting into place some of the info I gained from Secrets of a Successful Website and Building a Successful Practice. I'm feeling very excited about the coming year and integrating the knowledge you share. Many thanks, Christine

Hi Ed, Just to say thank you very much for the 5 day email course. I found it very informative and interesting. Hopefully I am now putting at least some of it into practice. Just wanted to ask if you would mind having a look at my website and let me know what you think. I built it myself, (the first time I have attempted something like this)!! It is quite basic, but sometimes less is more.
I would be interested to hear what you think, either good or bad.
Kind regards, Jean. www.sholinghypnotherapy.co.uk
