Crawl, Walk, Run, Fly

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

When it comes to Hypnosis, are you Crawling, Walking, Running or Flying?

(Inspired by Edelman’s Crawl, Walk, Run Methodology for Social Media http://www.edelman.com/)

You Crawl:

Your interest is sparked by something you saw, self-hypnosis or being hypnotized at a stage show.

You research by watching videos, reading books and articles, and ask questions of the experts in whatever forum.

You might even experiment a little with hypnosis on yourself, your close friends and family.

You fail more times than you succeed, but you succeed enough to want to walk.

You Walk:

You get taught. You find someone whose philosophy appeals to you.

You might attend a live training course or begin to be mentored.

You hypnotize strangers for the first time, but only in the context of a training course or a meet-up with other hypnotists.

You become more confident in the methods you learned and succeed more times than you fail and now you want to run.

You Run:

You’re hypnotizing strangers left right and center, people begin to know you as a hypnotist, not whatever it was you did before.

You succeed most of the time having developed your own philosophy and some of your own methods

You occasionally take money from people for hypnosis either at shows, parties or for therapy and you might get the urge to fly.

You Fly:

You’re seen as one of the experts in the field. A specialist. You are a hypnotist for the majority of your time and income.

You might sell products/services and seminars at a premium to those who seek your expertise in what you know.

You either teach others your methods, become a mentor yourself and sell products to those eager to learn your methods or sell products to those who want your help, advice and change work.

Congratulations, you’re flying!
