Understanding The Power of the Brain

Hi Anddreee,

In order to understand how our intelligence can indeed be
increased, you must first learn how your amazing brain works. Our
brain's cerebral cortex (the top and central layers), which plays
the role for higher-level thinking is made up of about one trillion
(1,000,000,000,000) brain cells called neurons.

Since all of us have roughly the same number of neurons (plus or
minus a few million), we have the same basic neurology or
'hardware'. To understand how powerful the brain really is, you
must know how it compares to the processing speed of computers
which is measured by MIPS (millions of instructions per second)

An Intel Pentium III Processor (500 Mhz) is able to process only
1,354 MIPS. In comparison, each brain cell (neuron) can process
1,000 instructions per second and our entire brain has the
potential to process 100 million MIPS! Th is means that our brain's
potential is equivalent to 73,855 Personal Computers working
together!

All of us share this same phenomenal brainpower and yet, we use
less than one percent of our true potential.

Neuro-Connections: The Key To Intelligence

So, if all of us have the same number of neurons (equivalent to
73,855 personal computers), then why is it that some students seem
to be more intelligent than others? Why are there some teens who
seem to grasp and remember academic concepts easily while others
struggle to try to understand and remember?

Th e answer lies not in the brain's neurology (or hardware), but
rather how our neurons are being activated and used (the software).
Twenty weeks after conception, our brain's neurons begin to make
connections with one another.

These connections are called Neuro-Connections. Every time our
neurons make a connection (known as a synapse), a new thought
pattern is formed. So the more neuro-connections we have, the more
intelligent we become in a particular area.

For example, if your child is good at Math and Science, it is
because the part of the brain that takes care of
mathematical-logical intelligence is very rich in connections. At
the same time, your child may not be very good at drawing, which
means that in the visual-spatial section of the brain, there are not
too many neural-pathways.

So, if your child is not strong at a particular mental activity
(like Math or memorizing facts), can he actually increase his
intelligence and abilities in that area?

Of course! Th e answer is by stimulating and challenging that area
of the brain, thereby creating more neuro-connections and
increasing his intelligence.

In other words, by doing more of something, you actually become
smarter in that activity! Th e brain is like a muscle. It grows
stronger the more it is used and challenged.

At the same time, when it is no longer challenged, it will
weaken...just like any other muscle in your body. Th is is why we
always tell our students that the only way to become great in Math
is to learn the right strategy and keep practicing it, until you
master it.

If you want to have a powerful memory, you must learn the right
memory techniques and keep practicing memorizing until you develop
a strong memory intelligence!

The trouble with most teens is that they do the exact opposite.
When they get confused or fail a particular subject (like Chinese),
they end up hating it and making little effort to master it. As a
result, they will never improve or they may even become worse at it!

To your parenting success,

How To Motivate Yourself Instantly!

Hi Anddreee,

Let us talk a little bit about resources. What are resources? These
are things that are experiences that make you feel a particular
way. There are many types of experiences and they include making
simple successes, past enjoyments, physical sensation, emotional
experiences and even special victories. All resources tap into the
state, make you feel resourceful. If you want to feel resourceful,
you need to tap into the events of the past that made you feel
resourceful.

This way, you will be able to exhibit the behaviors associated with
that resource. If you felt somewhat fearful, what resource would
you need? Well, you could probably think up of states, such as
determination, or even a sense of calm, or better still, a
combination of both. It does not matter that the times you
experienced these resources were not exactly the same situation
that you are experiencing now. All you really want to do is to be
able to tap into that state and become more powerful.

Likewise, even if you did not experience that state as powerfully
as an intensity scale of ten, just go in there because knowing how
to control your sub modalities means that you can intensify the
power of that resource. So, just go ahead and experience what it
might be like.

The next exercise we want to do is known as Mapping Across. Mapping
of sub modalities requires you to understand a few concepts. First
of all, you should know that every resourceful memory has a
structure that you can identify through the sub modalities
checklist.

Secondly, you can take the structure or the experience of the
resourcefulness, and use that to change the feeling or structure or
an experience that does not feel as resourceful as it should be.
For instance, if you felt confident in a past, you can take the
same confidence and put it in your new situation, so that even if
you used to feel a little bit unsure of yourself in this new
situation, you could use that confidence to bolster that confidence
in that new situation.

Let us do an experiment. Take an experience where you
procrastinated in doing something. But, the state of
procrastination should be one where you know that if you did do it,
it would benefit you. Go to that time now and identify the sub
modalities of procrastination. What state must you be in, in order
to do what you suppose to do? My guess is that you will need a
state called motivation instead of procrastination.

Could you think of a time where you were motivated? Maybe, when you
are compelled to get something done? Think of that situation and
identify the sub modalities behind that state. Once you have done
that, go back into the situation of procrastination. And now,
change the procrastination sub modalities, such that they are
motivation sub modalities instead. For instance, if the sub
modalities of procrastination were dark, closed and in color, but
the sub modalities of motivation were bright, closed and in color,
then, visualizing yourself in the situation of procrastination just
changing the level of brightness by making it brighter.

You will not have to change anything else because they are the
same, and since your mind codes it that way, changing those will
not make much of a difference in your coding of experience. As you
do this exercise, just remember to identify the differences between
the two experiences of procrastination and motivation, and make
changes only to those that are different. In NLP, we call them 'the
difference that makes the difference'.

Since both of them are coded differently, it must be the difference
in that coding that creates the bulk of a change of experience.
What you might expect as the outcome of this experiment will be
that the situation of procrastination will now appear more
motivating to you. You might even feel more compelled to go out and
get that thing done.

To your success!

Strategies to Effective Money Management

Hi Anddreee,

Before you can ever reduce your expenses and increase your savings,
you must first know where your money is going to. Many people share
the same experience of having no idea where their $5,000 salary
went. 'How did I spend so much money?' 'I thought that I should
have $1,000 left at the end of the month, but it seems to have all
disappeared!'

With a simple yet powerful system which I personally use together
with specially designed Microsoft Excel templates like the 'Monthly
Personal Income Statements' and 'Daily Expense Sheets' you just need
to invest fifteen minutes a day to manage your money.

If you want to be wealthy, do not expect it to happen
automatically. You must commit to spend time on your finances.
Earlier on in this book, I talked about the millionaire's daily
hour.

Millionaires spend an average of an hour a day on personal wealth
management, while most people spend less than an hour a month,
usually on paying bills.

So out of this one-hour a day, you've got to devote the first
fifteen minutes to do these five Money Management Steps


1) Always Ask for a Discount

If it is not a fixed price store, there is a 70% chance that you
will get a discount if you just ask for it. If you get a 10%
discount, it is equivalent to earning an immediate 10% return on
your money. Over the long term, you will save a huge amount that
will accelerate you even faster towards your targeted net worth.

2) Always Ask for a Receipt

Always get a receipt so that you can track every single expense at
the end of the day and, if possible, claim it as a business expense
and get a tax deduction.

3) At the End of the Day, Record all Expenses in your Daily Expense
Sheet

You can do this manually in the sample 'Daily Expense Sheet 'at the
end of the chapter or you can key it in electronically into a
template.

I highly recommend you key it into an excel spreadsheet, so it can
automatically add up the total each month.

4) Use a Credit Card Whenever You Can (but always pay the full
outstanding sum every month)

Again, this will allow you a convenient way of having all your
expenses recorded for you in the monthly statement.

5) At the End of the Month, Update Your Monthly Income Statement

At the end of every month, add up the total expenses from your
daily expense sheet and update your monthly income statement. At
the same time, update all your income for the month. Deduct your
total expenses from your total income to get your monthly savings.

You must use a system to track where every single dollar goes. Only
when you know where your money is going, can you take steps to
channel it to your savings and investments.

Doing this month after month may seem tedious, but it is absolutely
necessary if you want to build your wealth. Only when you develop
the habit of managing your personal finances, can you manage the
finances of your own business.

So many people financially mismanage their businesses into
bankruptcy because they mismanage their own finances. Don't be one
of them!

Every State We Experience Is Linked To Our Physiology

Hi Anddreee,

The first factor that affects how we feel at any given time is our
physiology. You know, physiology is the condition and use of our
physical body. Think of all the times when your body was physically
in pain, when you were sick. Did it affect the state you were in?

Of course it did. You might have felt frustrated or depressed or
snapped at people who you normally were nice to. You may have been
very easily irritated by something that normally makes you laugh.

You know when my wife experienced hormonal changes during
pregnancy, it did indeed change her state a few times a day. And it
is called mood swings, right? The way we use our physical body, as
in the way we move, stand and breathe, has a major impact on how we
feel.

So, let us do a little experiment right now. So, I really need you
to put your things away and really participate in this. I want you
to sit in a way when you were really depressed, you know, to get to
the really depressed state.

Think of the last time, you know, everything that could possibly go
wrong went wrong. And, I want you to sit and get into that state
right now.

Ready? Go! Go ahead into this depressed state.

Now, as you are feeling depressed, I want you to notice a few
elements of your physiology. Do you know what is your posture like
right now? Are your shoulders up or down? Is your breathing deep or
shallow? Is it fast or is it slow?

You know, which direction are your eyes looking in? Are the muscles
in your face tense or are they droopy? Notice the muscle tensions
in your hands and your legs.

If you are like most human beings, I bet your physiology will be
the following: You know, your posture would be shoulders down, head
down, and your eyes will be looking down and being defocused, your
breathing will be slow and shallow, the tone of your voice will be
the way I am speaking now, low volume, low pitch, the muscle
tensions will be relaxed, or slight tension a bit.

You see, every state has a specific physiology associated to it. In
order for us to get into a state called depression, we have to
shift our physiology in a certain way.

If not, it is impossible for the human nervous system to accept the
depressed state. We do it so often and subconsciously that many of
us have become experts at being depressed, have not we?

So power up you physiology right now and you'll snap into an
empowering state anytime!


To your success!

The Impact of Saving... on Your Future Wealth

Hi Anddreee,

If you think about, many people will make over a million dollars in
their lifetime! If you were to earn an average income of $3,000 a
month ($36,000 a year) over 40 years (age 25-65), then you would
have a total of $1.44 million ($36,000 x 40 years) flow through
your hands.

If you were like most people who spend all they earn, you will end
up after 40 years with almost nothing. But what if you were to just
save 10% of that income every month and invest it in stocks and
mutual funds that earn you a 15% return a year and let your money
compound? How much would you have after 40 years?

Using a financial calculator, you can easily compute that you would
have accumulated $6.914 million! What? Is that right? Is there
something wrong with my calculator? No! Through the power of
compounding, saving just $300 a month accumulates to over $6
million in 40 years! That is the power of consistent saving and
investing.

Most people feel that they do not have enough income to invest so
they procrastinate by saying, 'I will start when I earn more!'
Trust me, this is impossible. If you cannot save ten cents out of a
dollar, you will not save $100,000 out of a million. If you cannot
start with a small income, forget it when you have a bigger income.
Remember that if you do not start the habit of saving and
investing, you will end up with a lot more expenses when you earn
more.

Stop procrastinating! Start right away! Every day you delay is
costing you hundreds of thousands of lost dollars in your future.
Let's look at the impact of procrastination....

If you were to save $300 a month for 25 years at a 15% annual
return, you will have $826,968 in the end

If you were to start just one year later and save $300 a month for
24 years at the same 15% return, you will end up with $715,723.
That's $111,245 less! In other words, waiting one year will cost
you $111,245 in future dollars. This is equivalent to losing
$304.78 ($111,245 divided by 365 days) of future wealth every
single day you procrastinate! Can you afford to do that?

So get ready to start increasing your monthly savings right away!

To Your Success,
