It’s amazing to teach and train NLP and hypnosis because we learn so much by doing so. After working with a student and coaching client today, I realized how important your goals need to be to you as a student.

Without personal goals and positive emotions attached to the goals, you won’t really learn this material. Even if the goal is as simple as being a better health care worker, parent or school teacher. That can be enough.

Also vitally important is aligning your behavior with your goals. Aristotle said:

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

This is similar to what all excellent performers do (athlete, actor or singer). They repeat and practice and do the same things, always striving to improve. They get coaches or teachers. So we should all have mentors or teachers.
