Work Smart Hypnosis | Hypnosis Training And Outstanding Business Success

What would happen if you used the same strategies you use to help your clients and applied them to growing your business? For many hypnosis professionals, Dave Elman is why we began exploring the hypnosis world and turned it into a lucrative and rewarding career. Dave is a pioneer of modern hypnosis. He worked as a non-medical hypnotherapist who successfully became the expert to the medical community, bridging the gap and paving the way for thousands – if not millions – of hypnosis professionals like us. So what can we learn from Dave’s entrepreneurial skills, business acumen, and hypnosis techniques to help us build and grow successful, sustainable hypnosis businesses while creating positive hypnotic change for our clients? This week, I share my presentation at the Dave Elman Legacy Online Hypnosis Conference. I discuss how the hypnotic language patterns and applications of the Elman hypnosis work directly applies to the strategies you use in your hypnosis sessions and the things you do in your business. I d

We discuss what initially sparked his curio

For most hypnosis professionals, clients come and go. You may have had a few sessions with them, but typically, these sessions do not last more than a few weeks or months. But occasionally, you may have a client that wants to see you more often. A client that wants ongoing service and support. And while this scenario may be an anomaly, it is one that we should prepare ourselves for and begin creating systems, processes, and protocols to support effectively. This week, I share my thoughts on how you can set yourself up for success when a client needs ongoing hypnosis sessions. I share what I think you should do, what you should not do, and why it’s crucial to have protocols for offering long-term hypnosis services. I share examples of when you may need to suggest more ongoing sessions to a client and why not every client is ideal for ongoing hypnosis work. I also explain how to create flexible ongoing hypnosis session options that won’t overload your client with decision fatigue and why it’s important to under

In 2022, I accomplished a rather significant milestone: this is the first year that the business reached seven figures in revenue in one calendar year. Behind that milestone are a variety of experiences I went through behind the scenes—some of which came surprisingly easy, while others didn’t. Now, if you’ve been following the podcast for a while, you’d know that I’m someone who firmly believes that the number one thing this profession needs is for more of you to be out there, working successfully. That’s why it’s important that I share the lessons I’ve learned this year to help you make 2023 your best hypnosis business year yet. This week, I outline some specific strategies and lessons I learned from 2022 that can help you create breakout success in the new year.

Since the age of five, Désirée Eckert has always been drawn to the worlds of mystery, magic, and the paranormal. Mysterious things have captured her interest, from ghosts and UFOs to ancient civilizations. Then, during middle school and high school, while seeking answers to resolving her chronic health issues, she began exploring metaphysical practices such as crystal healing, palmistry, tarot, past lives, and the moon's phases. As an already-heavy meditator, Désirée graduated from The New School, where she minored in Buddhist studies. After graduating and during a particularly stressful period, Désirée discovered the world of hypnotherapy and realized the similarities between the hypnotic state and the meditative one. Since then, Désirée has become a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and a qualified hypnosis instructor. She is committed to helping her clients facilitate real change and healing through her unique blend of metaphysical and hypnotic practices. Désirée joins me today to discuss the similarities and

One of the most beneficial mindsets we can adopt from the info-marketing world is that money is in the list. But all too often, hypnosis professionals drop the ball when it comes to building their list. For some, the concept stays at the bottom of their to-do list, never reaching the top of the priorities list. Others may have started the process of list-building but haven’t truly discovered the best approach or system to successfully build their list, provide valuable content, and turn those subscribers into paying clients. This week, I explain what it means to build your list. I share strategies you can use to get started and how using email auto-responders can make the list-building process much easier and quicker. I discuss why you shouldn’t get discouraged when people unsubscribe from your list and what it actually means. I explain why you need to lead with value when creating your email content and why you don’t always need a call-to-action in your emails. I explain how to segment your subscriber list a

Have you ever wondered why infomercials still exist, even when they’re only seen by a very small number of viewers? How can it be worthwhile for companies to invest so much time, money, and resources into producing an infomercial only to have it air during the extremely late or early morning hours when most people are still sleeping?  Even in the age of on-demand movies and despite the small viewership - infomercials are still a widely used marketing strategy because of their effectiveness. And their effectiveness is largely due to the concept of “Show and Tell” – showing customers what they’ll get and selling the product to the customer… even before the presenter asks for the sale. This week, I explore how hypnosis professionals can offer hypnotic demos to get new clients. I explain how using demos can help you break a potential client’s prior expectations about hypnosis while simultaneously introducing new ones. I explain why the key to successfully turning your audience into paying clients is to get them t

It’s not uncommon that we find ourselves in situations where our belief systems and our model of the world are put into question. Whether on a personal or a professional level, there are inevitably moments where our beliefs, values, and perspectives on the world differ from those of the people around us. Yet, on the surface, they may seem starkly different; digging deeper can often reveal how similar – and even intertwined – these belief systems truly are. This week, I discuss the similarities between most spiritual beliefs and how hypnosis practitioners can modify their hypnosis process based on the client’s individual belief systems. I discuss why it’s important for hypnosis professionals to understand their role as a ‘chameleaon’ in the client’s journey to amplify the client’s desires instead of trying to help them adopt your perception, beliefs, and model of the world. I also discuss how every habit – even ‘bad’ – can be perceived as a strength in certain situations and share stories and examples of how I

As business owners, it’s important for us to continue finding ways to improve ourselves, our offerings, and our brand overall. Even when things seem to be going well, there’s always room for improvement. Whether those improvements come in the form of professional development or something much larger like rebranding your business to align with new goals and a new mission, making tweaks, changes, and pivots are part of the entrepreneurial journey. This week, I share some of the exciting new changes that are taking place inside my hypnosis business. I discuss what you can expect from version 3.0 of my Work Smart Hypnosis website, including a new blog feature and fully transcribed podcast episodes. I also explain how my business focus shifted in unexpected and unintended ways and how paying attention to what my clients were requesting has helped me shift my business focus to serve them better.  “Even as things are at their best, that is the opportunity to put a whole new fresh coat of paint on something and make

People often believe they have to do things one specific way to succeed. A great example is niching. Many hypnotists believe that they have to pick a niche to be successful. After all, everyone we know in the hypnosis industry, myself included, is known for one specific thing they do exceptionally well. But can I let you in on a little secret? Nearly every single one of them also sees clients for other things. Just because you become recognized as an expert in one specific area or niche does not mean you have to focus your business exclusively on that area. As business owners, we have the power – and permission – to run our hypnosis businesses however we choose; to explore new paths that may lead to success. This week, I discuss a little-known secret about niching. I discuss why most hypnotists need to shift their mindset from ‘I need to niche’ to focus on offering services they’re most passionate and excited about. I explain how niching is typically used as a marketing strategy and business principle. I also

So often, hypnosis practitioners fall into the trap of believing that if a technique isn’t working for their client, the client must not be motivated to change. But instead of blaming the client for their lack of progress, perhaps we need to try a new approach, modify our hypnosis process, or even take a step back and revert to the basics. There’s nothing truly wrong with your client. They’re just someone who happens to be going through an issue. We, as hypnosis professionals, simply need to find the methods, strategies, and techniques that are appropriate for them to solve their problem.This week, I dive into the ‘replay vault’ of the Hypnotic Worker’s community to discuss what you should do when nothing you’ve tried is working. I share the Hypnotic Solution Formula that I created to help clients disconnect and disassociate themselves from an issue or problem, even when other tried-and-true techniques have failed. I share seven specific Work Smart Strategies to help you become more flexible in your work whil
