Why NLP? What makes NLP different? - Dr. Matt on NLP Video Lecture | Neuro-Linguistic Programming: A Practical Hands-on Course - Personal Learning

- One question that comes
up quite often is, why NLP?
The reason why we continue
to teach NLP is two-fold.
Number one.
When I went back to school
in my thirties, to get a PhD
in Psychology, I recognized
that I had been in the field
of NLP since I was 11.
That was about 20 years.
And, at that time, I realized,
maybe that's all I've seen.
Maybe there's nothing else
that I've seen, and maybe
that's why I think NLP is so great.
And I was truly willing, when
I went back to get my PhD,
to give up teaching NLP, if
I found something better.
And guess what?
I didn't.
I studied allopathic, I
studied complimentary,
I studied traditional, I looked at all
of the different things out there.
And I've added some of
the information from those
different techniques
into our NLP trainings.
And yet, when I was done
taking all of those courses,
and I got my doctorate degree,
I sat there and went,
NLP is the science and technology
of getting results in your life.
It is about how you learn
how to program yourself
to create that empowerment and change,
so that you take the
action, get the results,
and achieve that happiness.
I haven't found any other
tools or techniques that work
as clearly and succinctly as NLP does.
The second reason why, is
much more personal for me.
NLP has made a huge
difference in my own life.
Many of you have heard me talk
about this in my trainings.
I used to be 85 pounds
heavier than I am right now.
That was a lot of weight
to be carrying around.
If not for NLP and the
specific tools and techniques,
I wouldn't be living the
life of health and fitness
that I am right now.
In my relationship, I work with my wife.
We've been married now for 10 years.
We work together, I've
been working together
for over 12 years.
And, just an amazing relationship,
and if not for the tools
and techniques, we wouldn't
be able to have that level
of happiness in our relationship,
and with our children.
It makes a huge difference.
And finally, in career.
Now, I know there's a
lot of people out there
that teach seminars and
trainings and teach people
here's how you can make more money.
And I truly wanted to make sure
that I stood by this ability
to create wealth and
prosperity in your life.
I utilized NLP, and outside
of the seminar and training
business, created my own
wealth and prosperity,
through my own investments,
and I teach people,
not what investments to do,
but how to really think about this.
Now here's the key.
A lot of trainings are out
there, they'll teach you,
here are the three steps
to wealth, here are the
three steps to happiness in relationship.
Here are the three steps
to making more money
in your career.
But here's the deal.
If you don't yet have the
programming, the thoughts,
the emotions, the action and
the ability to get the results
at the deep level of the subconscious,
the unconscious mind, those three steps
are gonna fall on deaf ears.
What you need to be able
to do as an individual
is have that right
programming, that foundation,
so that when those steps come to you,
you are able to execute them with success.
The most successful people
on the planet utilize NLP,
and you can too.
That's the reason why we teach NLP.
