As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I’m always on the look-out for information about the brain. My increasing knowledge also benefits my clients. I already knew from my membership of a School of Enlightenment that one’s attitude on the inside determines one’s fortunes on the outside – the everyday flow of life.

George Helou told me – and my wife – about his MindPower and we both subscribed. In fact, we’ve also completed a second progressive course. The second time around increased the power exponentially.

Although the School of Enlightenment is always my primary source of life development, I found the MindPower program to be a highly effective adjunct in establishing a step-by-step process of building brain configuration to propel me into lasting change.

On the morning of writing this testimonial, I visited my Gold Coast chiropractor for our three-monthly tune-up. An intuitive person, she said “You’re about to embark on new directions this year.” I agreed that I had more than one new plan. Then she muscle-tested me. Impressed, she said: “Your brain stem is undergoing fabulous change.” True again.

Later on, she remarked to my wife and to me: “I found no resistance in your spines to the adjustments I wanted to make. It was easy.”

No need to wonder why it was easy: the brain has a direct bearing on the spine’s wellness, and that radiates into the rest of the body – the organs, tissue and so on. My wife’s and my wellness and energy levels passed with flying colours.

George’s bio-feedback cards also regularly come up trumps for my well-being.

The MindPower Program and its brainwave training has enhanced all that I’ve done at that school I mentioned earlier. Even if you are not directly interested in enlightenment, the benefits of MindPower as a primary source of brain development will be long-lasting if you apply yourself to the training.

Anyway, the work’s all been done for you. All you have to do is turn up at your computer and focus.

Am I well off? We already were in a material sense. But there’s more.

The idea of millions of dollars appeals as a game of life and we’re well on our way. We originally paid cash for our mini-mansion on a beautiful mountain in Queensland’s South-Eastern Hinterland and now we relax with a glass each of red in the evening – with the extra knowledge that once your brain is programmed for wealth, wellness and superior associative, rather than linear, thinking, how can you be anything else but joyful?

We’ll never again allow ourselves to be convinced of anything that doesn’t involve the finest things that life has to offer.

Mark Twain said that the regrets of your life come from what you didn’t do rather than the mistakes you made from what you did.

Talk to George – who I now consider a colleague – and I think you’ll find you won’t be making a mistake if you let him convince you of the merits of what he has to offer. His supportive expertise and brainpower should stand you in good stead.

In our experience George is a man of principle and going on our knowledge of him we don’t believe that’s about to change.

Nowadays the quality of my decision-making – and my focus – is almost immeasurable. I am a much more forgiving person because I’m ending my inner conflicts and sense of lack. The MindPowerCoach.com organization is one of the few top line entities I’ve come across and I heartily recommend it.

I also recommend George Helou’s capacity to commit himself to his job, to remain up-to-date with Future Now technology, and his willingness to pass on that knowledge to the people who put their trust in his skills.

Have you watched “What The Bleep” and “The Secret” and wondered why its so hard to apply the knowledge in a significant way to create lasting change?

Why is it so hard to remember the secret in emotional times? Why is it so hard to control our thoughts? – All 60,00+ per day!

How did Albert Einstein implement the secret knowledge to overcome his dyslexia and become one of the most popular geniuses of our time?

Could the secret knowledge of people’s thought power be the way for creating amazing inventions, sourcing revolutionary ideas and new technologies?

I have known the secret since 1993 and I can assure you, knowing about it does not mean you can implement it. Once you know the secret, you then need to make it your journey to continue to expand your awareness and commitment to using it.

Living “The Secret” is the evolution of humanity. What else is more important than developing our mind so that we can make our wishes come true.

I have had glimpses of the future and manifested objects out of thin air with the secret, but NOT AT WILL. I know people who have biolocated and can do supernatural things – and SOME CAN DO IT AT WILL.

Do not underestimate what “The Secret” can do for you. Realise that we know “bleep” all!

This is why, as in the profound teachings of Ramtha point out; we need to “make known the unknown.” and conquer the personality that keeps us from our unlimited power and divinity.

There are reasons why only 1% of the population are fabulously wealthy, and to understand how our thoughts determine our well being begins a powerful journey to create what we assumed was out of our reach. Nothing is out of our reach unless it is out of our mind.

Do you have the will power to apply the secret? Do you need help in supercharging your brain?

Finding a business coach is easy. Finding one that will meet your expectations is another story. The following guidelines should help you become aware of what you should be looking for in a business coach as a bare minimum. I have been a business coach and have been coached for several years. You may as well benefit from my experiences!

15 things to look for or do in order you find the ideal business coach for you:-

  1. Listens and seeks to understand your needs first.
  2. Asks insightful and mind opening questions.
  3. Facilitates so you develop your own solutions.
  4. Have the ability to up-skill you and your team.
  5. Have corporate and small business experience.
  6. Are an experienced and succesful marketing and sales professional.
  7. Have access to the most effective sales & marketing systems.
  8. Have been successful in building their own businesses.
  9. Have been competent director of companies.
  10. Is requested as a guest speaker on evolving business.
  11. Business consultants and coaches seek them out for advice.
  12. Their fees are fair and competitive.
  13. Do a Google search on their name and profession
  14. Call at least 5 of their clients and ask what they liked and disliked about the coaching.
  15. Make sure a part of their service is a comprehensive ‘needs analysis’ of you and your business.

Remember to prepare your questions using the list above as your guide so that you can identify whether a business coach is going to be equal to these standards and do not settle for anything less.

This was written by Australian best selling Author, Mind Power and business coach, George Helou. (http://www.quantumevolver.com.au) He is the founder of the Quantum Evolver coaching ethos. For more information about his company, you can read on…

Quantum Evolver business coaching is about providing services that encompass the following 8 guidelines: -

1. Clarifying your vision, mission and goals.
2. Identifying where your business is situated in its product and service cycles.
3. Soundboard – facilitate problem solving.
4. Assess skills and coordinate the up-skilling of team members.
5. Helps you challenge conflicting attitudes that work against success.
6. Share knowledge, experience and imparts skills.
7. Guide the work culture to be accountable and motivated.
8. Adapt to your needs and utilise a network of resources.

Along with these guidelines, you will receive quality feedback and support with your business plan, marketing plan, management style and sales process performance.

If you do not have a business plan or never refer to it, we can assist you with developing one from scratch and ensuring it remains a living document with its components intrinsically linked to the weekly agenda items and key performance indicators of your company.

Quantum Evolver (QE) Difference
What makes business coaching unique to Quantum Evolver is the science behind human behaviour and learning how to master your emotions. Universal Laws form the basis of our coaching equipping your leadership and work culture with the confidence, clarity and synergy it needs to succeed.

The power of evolving with quantum principals is the key to balanced success that keeps you profitable, sustainable and in harmony with the environment. QE Coaching focuses on belief-systems, attitudes and perception, which are the command centre of behaviour and action. Addressing behaviour at the core enables us to ensure your action is aligned with your objectives.

Coaching Process
The following are QE components that form part of the coaching process: -

1. Test the business objectives and ensure they are aligned with what you desire to experience.
2. Identifying existing belief systems and weeding out the misconceptions that works against the company objectives.
3. Educate the work culture on the difference between beliefs and identity. Many confuse having a belief with their identity, thereby needlessly defending a point of view before even challenging it.
4. Facilitate a paradigm shift into self-empowerment.
5. Adopt a revised code of conduct with positive affirmations promoting self-belief, responsibility, accountability and inspiration.
6. Introduce the QE Step Process helping the work culture evolve itself in the field.

Tailored Approach
Although the principals of every business are the same, the individual needs of each business often vary. From the learning style, the team culture and the nature of the industry can call on a tailored assistance from a business coach.

Free Needs Analysis
Quantum Evolver utilises an in depth uncovery process which seeks to identify your needs and the condition of the existing company perception and the best way of assisting you achieve your business and personal goals within the desired timeframe.

The first stage of this uncovery process is at no cost or obligation to you. It demonstrates how QE coaching works and also identifies your coach-ability, which is an integral part of experiencing success from being coached.

Success is a science, according to Quantum Evolver business coach George Helou who is invited as a guest speaker to Cremorne in Sydney on the 5th February, 2006.

He said certain experiments had shown that the beliefs of the scientists or participants determined the outcome of sub-atomic experiments.

“A person’s perception about their business determines their success,” Mr Helou said.

“For example, if the economy was in recession and the business owner thought their business would soften, he or she would make decisions based on that belief.

“But if they believed their business would continue to be strong, they would make different decisions and further more, attract different circumstances others would dismiss as luck.”

He said this illustrated the difference between the traditional classical paradigm and the new quantum paradigm.

“The classical paradigm is characterised by things like top-down management, fear-driven decisions, limitations, blame and ‘things happen to us’ and ‘we are not in charge’ attitudes,” Mr Helou said.

“In the quantum paradigm, there is equality and empowerment, self-responsibility, no limits and ‘anything is possible’ and ‘we are in charge’ attitudes.

“It’s a different way of thinking altogether.”

He said classically, business owners would want to make money but with quantum beliefs, business owners would want to serve customers.

“That the mind-set of people working from the quantum paradigm,” Mr Helou said.

“The idea is that you choose to work at something you are passionate about then it’s the actual experience that you’re after, the income is a side-product.

“Making a buck is classical fear-driven decision-making whereas an abundance mentality allows creative, passion-motivated decisions.”

If you are an employee who wants to know how to be promoted and earn pay rises, this newsletter is for you! If you are an employer who wants to know how to evaluate employees for promotions and pay rises this is also equally for you!

I recall when I was in the radio industry in sales and marketing, wondering how I could get promoted into management. My manager at the time started about the same time I did. Every time I went to him with a problem he would ask me to come back to him with a solution. I recall thinking how unhelpful and lazy he was. I would question his commitment as a manager and it made me angry!

What happened to me from there was amazing. Eventually I figured out not to go to him unless I had a solution and as I did, I realized that I did not need him for solutions after all – this experience did a World of good for my confidence as a creative and practical problem solver. Most of the time, he would just agree with my solution and on odd occasions he would suggest alternatives.

Within a few months, he gave me authority to make decisions without his consent and not long after that I was sent to Management training courses. Yes, I was being groomed to become a manager!

Needless to say I moved on to a major senior management position at another company before a management position was made available. However, I received a six-figure income + expenses with a 10-week holiday annual allowance! As you can see, I am grateful for my boss who disciplined me to be independent and learn the skill of problem solving for myself.
BECOME THE POSITION – NOT THE TITLE
You do not need authority to volunteer to do certain projects to demonstrate your passion and commitment. You do not need authority to show you can do the job well. Just show the optimism and ‘can do’ attitude the position would require. Be motivational and inspiring to the team, no one needs to give you permission to lead by example!

THE 17 HABITS
You can ensure you maximize your chances of receiving a promotion and pay rises shortly after you implement what the 17 habits recommend to you. Read more…

1. Enjoy what you do. What is the point of doing things that do not excite or motivate you? Being promoted and accepting more responsibility in a role you are not enthused about will work against you.

2. Solutions first. Never go to your boss or anyone in the company with a problem before first thinking of a practical solution to propose as an option.

3. Seek to understand. Do not feel the need to interrupt and enforce your views on anyone. Listen first and value their right to have their own views. Then you are more informed and can better communicate your own views with someone more willing to listen.

4. Treat People the way they want to be treated. Do not assume everyone likes what you like or likes to be as direct or tactful, detailed or as brief as you. Some people want to be given the full details while others want it brief, concise and direct. Observe how they communicate and the values dear to them and respect that. These are not right or wrong, they are different ways of communicating to suit different situations.

5. Be resourceful. If you are stuck, ask your colleagues questions and for help. Source information and ideas from the Internet and industry magazines.

6. Give credit where its due at all times. If your work colleagues help you with a solution, like a great leader, credit them in public and to the managers!

7. Help your team. Without neglecting your responsibilities, help your work colleagues wherever you can!

8. Be thoughtful in your problem solving. Approach the problem as if it is your business and money.

9. Prepare your manager. Explain that you are having a go at developing solutions that you will run by him for feedback and authority.

10. Clarify your direction. Do not work on any project without first clearly understanding the purpose. Knowing the end product means your decisions will be more informed and therefore aligned with the outcome. Ask the questions so you understand the end before you begin. As Stephen Covey says, begin with the end in mind.

11. Seek feedback. From your manager, collegues, customers, mentors and coach to help evolve your problem solving.

12. Nothing personal. Do not take criticism personally. It is a vital part of the process to help you evolve. How grateful you genuinely are for constructive criticism will exhibit your maturity and potential of being a great leader.

13. Be patient with the progress. It will seem like little progress is being made, but it takes off exponentially, I know it from personal experience and from coaching many people!

14. Avoid office politics. Do not agree with office political views just to belong to the group. There are other more productive ways to contribute and belong to the team. Do not say anything disrespectful behind anyone’s back. Praise people to their face and behind their back!

15. Admit all mistakes and propose solutions to fix them. No one in the World is near perfect and mistakes are an opportunity to evolve!

16. Constantly gain new knowledge. Read up on ideas to improve business processes and customer service. Forward these ideas to management and your work colleagues. You can offer to implement the great ideas that cost nothing!

17. Quality work. Seek to be productive and efficient so you do not have to spend long hours on a regular basis. Constantly seek creative ways to do more in less time. Do not mistake being at work as working. Do not think staying back late is doing you or the company any favors. You need balance in you life.

NOTHING TO LOSE!
You may notice that if you do these 17 things and make them a natural part of your approach to your work, you are already in essence, a great manager and leader! The difference will be your company now has the opportunity to identify you and most importantly, you have the respect of the team who will endorse and support you.

You have nothing to lose because when you treat the business with the thoughtfulness as if it’s your own, you are already making yourself a very rare employee. When you treat work colleagues and customers with respect and gratitude, you are contributing to a culture that will create many opportunities including pay raises, promotions and possible offers for equity!

“Not understanding the importance of EQ could result in damaging office politics, low morale and, ultimately, lost time and money. If people are stressed and feel they are under threat, their brain chemistry changes and they lose adequate access to their IQ.

Companies could be losing money if they are not managing their employees’ intellectual and emotional intelligence effectively.

Intellectual and emotional intelligence are two core resources a business must have. Having intellectual intelligence is acknowledged and accepted as a vital part of succeeding in life and business but the importance of emotional intelligence, (EQ or EI), is only recently getting the attention it deserves.

EQ measures a person’s ability to read, understand, empathise and respond to other peoples’ emotions. By interpreting facial expressions, body language, tone of voice and choice of sentence structures, we can understand someone’s mood and unspoken points of view.

Knowing someone has a vested interested in not agreeing or helping you, gives you an opportunity to address a problem before delegating and experiencing a lack of cooperation. The challenge is, we are not educated to understand that emotions are simply information of how we are experiencing our perception. Therefore, rather than using emotional intelligence for the understanding of each other, we often avoid and fear it, thereby compounding the problems that are natural consequences from not understanding each other’s needs.

Not understanding the importance of EQ could result in damaging office politics, low morale and, ultimately, lost time and money. If people are stressed and feel they are under threat, their brain chemistry changes and they lose adequate access to their IQ.

Their objectives shift from seeking to achieve common goals to fighting for individual survival. The blood and oxygen that reside in the logical part of the brain (neo cortexes) moves to the back of the brain when a person is under stress – the part where quick survival decisions are made.

For example, if you are about to be run over by a bus, you don’t need your logical brain to analyse the situation, you need quick reflexes to dive out of the way. Hence when we are under threat in the workplace, our blood flow moves away from the part of the brain we need most to make logical and rational decisions that are best for the company.

Instead, we shift our focus to survival, thereby engaging our less intelligent form of animal instinct that proves to be handy in the jungle, but destructive in the workplace.

EQ Management Recommendations
To combat the problems caused by office politics and low morale, we can protect the company IQ bank through effective EQ management via the following 6 recommendations:

  1. All managers and work colleagues are to improve their ability to identify and deliver genuine specific praise and constructive feedback (criticism).
  2. The company view on mistakes must shift from condescending judgement to seeing mistakes as opportunities to evolve. Work colleagues will sooner admit to mistakes if they do not feel they will be punished and looked down upon.
  3. Communicate that anyone caught de-positioning anyone whether it be staff or clients will receive a written warning.
  4. Create frequent team building opportunities such as mystery trips to leisure activities that encourage team participation and fun.
  5. Facilitate solutions from staff rather than handing down instructions. This way, they build confidence in their abilities and are more likely to implement solutions they feel have also come from them.
  6. Learn to communicate without negative emotions that corrupt the message and incite poor listening and defensive behaviour.
