Dear Blog,

Prompt: Write a new blog post with your reaction to the Beuhler chapters that you read for task 3 this week. How does Beuhler's work match with how you view your new role as an English teacher? What experience did you have with YAL in middle or high school? You will go more in depth with Beuhler and YA pedagogy in the fall. 

Beuhler’s Chapters 1 and 2 discuss reading YA books with passion and purpose, and viewing YA literature as complex texts as teachers who will one day teach and share YA books with their students. 

One of Beuhler’s tenets is in order “to learn, grow, and thrive, what all of these students need is...a wide landscape for reading” (Beuhler 3). That is, most students view reading as a chore, because for many of them, it is something they have to do, over something they want to do. It is an assignment. It is an expectation. It is another box they have to check off the list or a line they have to cross of on the agenda. And because they’re required to read mostly classics written by dead old white dudes, they’re “cut off from the larger world of literacy” (Beuhler 3). Because students aren’t directly told or handed diverse reading options, they fall out of love with reading and don’t develop that muscle of reading for later on. That is why many students, my friends, and myself included, over the years, began to repeat the sentiment of “I’m not much of a reader anymore.” It’s depressing!

But as Beuhler states in his chapter, students must be given a balanced reading diet. They need room (specifically time and space) to discover new books written by people who aren’t dead old white dudes. They need motivation to seek out those books. They need to hear from their teachers that them reading for “fun” and as a “hobby’ is not only good for them, but also encouraged in their ELA classroom. There needs to be room for students to develop their own reading tastes and reading stamina, but they can’t do that if they’re not allowed to employ a sense of agency within their choice in books. It is only through this sense of agency and a diverse palette of YA books will students begin to see reading as less of a chore, and more of a fun activity they can’t wait to do. 

This text also made me think about the multiple ways I, as teacher, can do to encourage this love and space for YA literature in the classroom. First, I want to create a space where students who already possess a love for reading YA books outside of the classroom don’t have to steal time to read inside the classroom. In other words, I want my classroom to be a place where students will have a dedicated time to read their contemporary YA titles and keep reading logs about them and talk about them with their peers. I don’t want my students who already consider reading as a hobby to ever feel like they have to sneak around me and the state-mandated curriculum to read their YA books -- and then be afraid I’ll take their books away from them, like the many times teachers did this to me. (I still think about these moments all the time...even in college. I lowkey have some trauma from that LOL).

Second, I want to create whole entire units around YA literature. But this might require going against state standards and school subject departments. So how can I make the case for YA lit in the classroom? Beuhler suggests marketing them as an outlet and/or case study for students’ personal and academic growth. The thing about YA lit is that it is entirely written for them. “YA list offers a way to meet students where they are now -- not just as readers, but as teens who are still figuring out their place in the world...YA lit honors that process of self-discovery” (Beuhler 3). When students read YA lit, they grow as the main characters grow. When students read YA lit, they see their personal journeys and feelings of adolescence (going from young child to young adult) paralleled in heightened and relatable ways. When students see themselves reflected in the literature they read, they end up feeling less alone in the world and develop a sense of community with other students who feel similarly. 

When we think about young adult students, we also think about puberty. We think about the multiple weird strange awful beautiful changes that happen physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially for them. We think about our own experiences during that time and how equally tumultuous it was for us. YA lit offers itself as a space for students and people in general to put their feelings and weirdness somewhere, where it’s private and peaceful and doesn’t make adolescence any more more embarrassing than it already inherently is.

In addition, when students read YA lit, they grow as readers. “If students in our classrooms might not have been readers in the past, but they can become readers now -- if we create conditions that support their individual development” (Beuhler 6). When making the case for YA lit in the classroom, I will emphasize how YA lit creates that confidence within students to believe that reading is something they can do. YA lit inherently has qualities that push students to motivate themselves to continue reading and develop a stronger reading muscle for heavier, longer, and more complex YA texts. YA lit makes reading accessible, breaks down barriers, enhances reading comprehension and critical thinking skills, and promotes a sense of creativity, all of which are qualities state standards try to achieve for students but can’t. 

And third, Beuhler talks about how his favorite YA novels are “those that defy categorization” (Beuhler 27). I think about how not only young teens, but kids and adults and seniors are reading YA lit more and more over other categories. Why? It’s because YA lit does so much at once to fulfill their reading and personal needs. They’re complex and rich and tackle so many relevant themes and experiences, but probably most importantly, they model a development arc that many folks are always secretly seeking. That sort of adventure of becoming into one’s own and developing confidence as a person with better informed opinions and forming new friendships and relationships with people. For kids and teens, it’s the excitement and hopefulness of growing older and breaking away from adult authority and becoming your own person. For adults and seniors, it’s the nostalgia and also hopefulness of returning to what youth was like and experiencing new things again. Because there is so much complexity in YA lit, it will require a complexity when teaching YA lit. 

As a teacher, I want to change the conversation about YA lit, dismantling the idea that it’s a category mainly for teenage girls, which, btw, what the hell is wrong with THAT? So what if it is mainly saturated with stories for and about teenage girls? Most of the books students have had to read have been led by boys and men and written by men -- and students of all genders have had no trouble reading them. But when suddenly girls’ and women’s perspectives are prioritized in narratives, or a category is predominantly centered around the experiences of girls and women, suddenly it’s beneath people and not as complex as other categories? Can someone say SEXISM?. While some people might argue that that is not why they view YA books as not nearly as “complex” as the classics, I think there’s no mistake that gender plays a big part in informing that particular mainstream point of view about YA lit. 

Furthermore, alongside Beuhler, I also believe that “sometimes calls for increasingly complex texts are really code for keeping classic literature at the center of the curriculum” (Beuhler 28). More specifically, I believe that most people’s calls for “complexity” in their reading, what they’re really calling for is either 

(1) books written by dead old white dudes about the American Male ExperienceTM where they find excuses to be racist or sexist or BOTH (fun!) and argue that it’s a relatable part of being an American Man (which ew! and wow, the bar is low), OR 

(2) books written by BIPOC authors that focus on the “Authentic” experience of being BIPOC, but mostly as a vehicle for white folks to fetishize the trauma and pain of BIPOC, without neither the actual empathy and compassion for BIPOC, nor the active commitment to creating systemic and individual change against the trauma and pain that BIPOC often face living under the white capitalist patriarchal police state that these books are often thematically preaching about.

Here’s the thing. YA lit definitely can perpetuate those same harmful practices that the classics often do. In fact, some YA novels already do. I can point to many of the YA Book Twitter drama that rightfully calls out problematic books, such as The Black Witch, on the daily. However, YA lit has shown over and over again that it can reach far beyond its intended target audience and tackle complex themes without infantilizing, again, their intended audience...which is young teens. The thing about literature and education and the passing on of information in general is that if you are an academic or a student or a teacher or an individual and you can not relay your perspective and/or argument in such a way where another person can understand it (even if they might disagree with it)...you have failed. 

YA lit is an example of when perspectives and themes and experiences that are often considered “complex” is successfully communicated to a young teenage audience because of its accessibility. If a classic cannot reach a bigger audience or in this case, reach a young teen demographic, it’s not because of a complexity that YA lit “lacks,” it’s because of the unnecessary, often racist and sexist gatekeeping in classic literature that privileges upper class white folks and their experiences which are often communicated in a language only other upper class white folks can speak and understand. Think about how many classic books are written in AAVE, aka African American Vernacular English? Most people will think of Toni Morrison or James Baldwin...but those are only two Black authors. Two. Out of how many white authors? However, I can think of countless YA lit books written not only in AAVE, but also different Chinese, Spanish, and African dialects by Chinese, Spanish, and African authors. As a teacher, I want to use all of these arguments and evidence I’ve just laid out to argue for the case of YA lit in the classroom. 

I always viewed my role as an English teacher as one with deliberate purpose. I’ve always wanted to be more than just an English teacher. I wanted to be the one person whose students would go to when they finished a book and wanted someone to listen to them rattle off about the parts they liked and didn’t like. I wanted to be the one person whose students would look to when they got bullied by other students or teachers and protect and comfort them, especially my fellow students of color. I wanted to be the one person whose students would ask for book recommendations and ask to read over their writing projects because they trusted my opinions. I wanted to be the person I needed when I was younger. If I can’t go back in time to the past, I’ll make sure I become that person in the present for the kids of the future generation...

And I’ll start with introducing them to YA lit.

Why Hair Matters

This is a presentation I gave at the Comics and Popular Arts Conference at DragonCon 2017 during the Race, Gender, and Culture in Comics panel titled “Why Hair Matters: Negotiating the Politics of Black Hair in Pop Culture” Transcript is below

In this presentation, I interrogate the representation of black hair within the realm of superheroes in comic books, film, and television series. Taking into consideration the time period and political climate which they were created I analyze black characters like Misty Knight, Storm, Black Lighting, and others. In particular, I analyze illustrative changes to their hair and hypothesize how this impacts the character with regard to the way he or she is perceived.

I am focusing on the visual elements that have proven to be common in the design of African American superheroes in the DC and Marvel universes and how those elements function as signs with larger symbolic meanings and cultural significance. Since readers can differ when it comes to gender, age, cultural background, etc images and symbols can have different meanings. A symbol can stand for something different depending on who interprets it. Because of this, certain signs can become complex sites of meaning, when the writer doesn’t poses the cultural knowledge of the subject.

The superhero Black Lightning was DC’s first African American character to get his own solo title. This did not happen until 1977 and like most minority characters in media his existence was quite political. Black Lightning’s civilian identity is an Olympic decathlete turned school principle named Jefferson Pierce.  

The original artist for Black Lightning was Trevor Von Eeden, a young black illustrator who was brought in to offer some insight into this new black character. He designed the look of Black Lightning, including his outfit, except for one very important detail.

Black Lightning’s most distinctive characteristic is that he wears a white mask to shield his identity. That mask is also somehow attached to an afro wig. Now, Jefferson Pierce himself has short hair but when he dons the identity of Black Lightning the act of augmenting his already existing hair to make it longer can be read as a radical act. In an interview Von Eden said “I did NOT design the afromask! I say this because in the 70s, when he was created, the afro was a black man’s symbol of pride, and self-respect, his singular identity. For a black superhero to remove his hair (or… put ON his hair) as part of his identity was certainly… odd. For a black man to do so was, shall we say, tellingly symbolic. And definitely NOT my idea.”

Within the black community, hair has always been at odds with societal conventions. In a society that values westernized beauty standards, closely cropped, “neat”, and straight styles are often considered more professional and safe. Thus, choosing to wear black hair the way it naturally grows out of one’s head can be considered a political statement. During the 1960s afros were worn by black political figures of the Civil Rights Movement and became not only a fashion statement but more importantly a signifier of political expression and pride. Pierce’s, professional job as a school principle would never have allowed him to have a large afro in civilian life so his use of this afro-wig as part of his superhero costume serves as a perfect disguise to make him completely unrecognizable.

Scholars have claimed that this costume serves a purpose of making an ethnic minority character “more ethnic” as if adding bigger hair will get the point across that Black Lightning is indeed black or proud of his blackness. He is often shown in many individual panels putting on and removing the afro-mask or holding it under one arm like some odd trophy.  The comics make sure to show the reader that his mask is indeed a mask. Pierce’s ability to add and remove his afro at will shows a contradicting acceptance and rejection of his afros meaning. During the Civil Right Movement the afro became a signifier of strength and perseverance, striving to be a symbol of justice and power and rightness in his neighborhood it’s often disappointing to see his disembodied afro-mask sitting silently on a shelf while Jefferson Peirce teaches the children of his neighborhood during the day.

Around that same time, Marvel introduced its first black female superhero. Our first introduction to Ororo Munroe is in the 1975 issue of Giant Sized X-Men #1 where she is introduced not as a mutant but as a self-proclaimed goddess in Kenya. She is using her powers of weather control to aid a local village suffering from a drought.

She is shown standing in front of a large stone altar as villagers cry “Ororo, great goddess of the storm come ease us of our burden!” She is only wearing a skirt and headdress, everything else covered by long flowing white hair. Each panel after uses her hair to illustrate movement but also as a demonstration of her power. We know that she is manipulating wind and weather because of the different sweeps of her hair in each panel. It also conveniently covers her chest no matter which way her body is contorted.

The comics also use her hair as a physical reminder of her goddess like powers. Having this unreal long, straight, stark white hair visually separates her from the villagers and indicates a person who doesn’t have the concerns a regular woman would about having hair. She doesn’t have to keep it a manageable length or styled, she’s a goddess! It can also be argued that the length and texture of Storm’s hair reflects an idea that she is better than other people. She refers to herself as a goddess, her first introduction into the comic we see her on a pedestal, long hair flowing around her. Historically a women’s worth was often defined by the length and quality of her hair, so illustrating Storm in this manner could function as a signifier of her status.

In Uncanny X-Men #173 which was published in 1983 and the year we get Mohawk Storm. We see an entirely new Storm here. She reveals this new look at Wolverine’s wedding, honestly for the drama of it all, her long flowing strands cut into a Mohawk while also wearing an entirely new outfit made of leather. Her new look is so shocking Kitty Pride cries and runs away. Storm’s response to Scott asking her why she changed her look is, “I had my reasons, Scott. Am I not allowed?!” In many cultures the act of cutting off a woman’s hair can be used as a punishment or humiliation or even to show a change in status, again, as an act of taking away a woman’s worth or beauty. But Storm, especially being labeled a goddess cutting off her own hair is an act of demonstrating her own body autonomy. She no longer feels the need to keep the hair of her old self. Or her X-Men costume for that matter.

We see a contemporary version of this Storm as actress Alexandra Shipp portrays the young orphan in X-Men Apocalypse.

Possibly the most famous iterations of Storm are when she is played by actress Halle Berry in the X-Men movies. Over the course of 14 years and four movies this version of Storm has had four different hair styles and colors, none of which are canon to any of her comic book styles. In contrast to the comic book illustrations, these shorter, stiff, stick straight synthetic wigs do nothing to indicate her powerful wind-controlling abilities, nor do they function in the same way to symbolize her status as a goddess.

Like Storm, Misty Knight’s hair has gone through a few journeys since her introduction. Her questionable hair choices have been a prominent discussion among fans for years.

Misty first appeared in 1975 in Marvel Premiere issue #21. Misty has a smaller tapered afro fairly common of the female fashions of this time frame. She continues with this hair style through the 1980s until she was reimaged in 2006 in Heroes for Hire.

In this book she seems to change hair styles throughout panels, something I have noticed is a common treatment for Misty. In issue 1 alone she goes from having braided hair in the front to having it gelled down straight. She also has a stylized dent in top of her hair giving her something reminiscent of what I like to call “wolverine points”.

During the 2011 run of Heroes for Hire we are introduced to Misty Knights infamous and confusing straight bangs which she continues to have during the 2013 Fearless Defenders run. The bangs are an issue for multiple reasons. As a woman of color who has at least a minor understanding of my own natural hair the process in which Misty would have to go through to straighten her bangs while still wearing the rest of hair natural is a laborious task. She is either flat ironing them every day (multiple times a day?) but if she used that process whenever her hair got wet it would curl back up again, something simple like working up a sweat while fighting would return her bangs to their natural texture.

In this panel, we see her swimming in the ocean and after she comes up her bangs are still straight. Her afro is also the same round shape while she is submerged in the water and when she surfaces. This signifies the creators of this comic don’t understand basic hair physics, regardless of hair texture. Her other option would be using a chemical relaxer. A chemical relaxer is the process of using a strong and damaging chemical paste to straighten curly or afro textured hair. This process is not reversible. Relaxers are a huge discussion within the natural hair community. A lot of us are coming up from a lifestyle of relaxing our hair and removing that damage involves cutting off the relaxed hair and letting the natural hair grow out. Therefore, I find it hard to believe that Misty would relax the front of her hair no matter how fashion forward. Having natural hair and bangs isn’t impossible but the way Misty’s are drawn are not achievable unless she is doing something to alter the texture of them, which they never show us.

In issue 4 of the 2011 run of Heroes for Hire shows my biggest grievance with Misty’s hair. It shows that the illustrator does not understand the basic science of natural black hair AT ALL. Misty’s hair is drawn reminiscent of a large pom pom with a static electricity issue. The ends of her hair are straight, almost as if the hair that grows out of her head is actually straight and just stands up on end to make her afro.

In this hospital scene, Misty is dealing with the aftermath of her phantom pregnancy by Danny Rand which made her very sick, she is laying in a hospital bed with her neck completely off the pillow here as if her afro is solid and propping her head up.

In 2014 we start seeing some versions of Misty where she has a more realistic and contemporary take on her hair. In the Daredevil Dark Night series we see her still with her red headband but we also see her afro in a more curl defined modern shape. It isn’t really fashionable for black women to wear their natural hair completely picked out and round. We normally go for a more curl defined look which also causes the hair to lay a little flatter than picking it out would. She still has her bangs here but they have a curlier texture.

In 2015 we get Secret Love which is part of the Secret Wars anthology. It’s a book of one shot love stories from a different universe including platonic as well as romantic love. For Misty, we get a glimpse of what her relationship with Danny would be like if they were married and had a child, possibly the one from her phantom pregnancy. Her hair here is the same type of contemporary style, more defined curls, even a rounder shape but still not the picked out cotton ball of her pervious hair.

The most important part of this comic for me is the last panel. Here we see Misty and Danny sharing a very intimate moment. Misty has her prosthetic arm off, in relaxed clothes and asking Danny to do her hair. Hair within the black community is ritual. Misty trusting Danny enough for him to be doing her batu knots or even the fact that he knows how to do them is almost unheard of. I don’t know any women, with a black husband or not, that would trust them enough to do their hair. To have Misty sharing this moment of intimacy and culture with Danny is extremely powerful.

Like previous writers of Misty, Jeremy Whitley is also a white man, but he wrote the comic as a reflection of his life. Jeremy’s wife is African American and he made sure to consult her throughout the story. In an interview he did with BlackGirlNerds.com he said “I originally had written microbraids into the last page.  However, my wife read the story and her first questions was “How long is this last scene?”  I said, based on the length of the two movies they watch that it was between 4-6 hours.  I was informed that not only was this an unlikely amount of time for this, but that it was unrealistic.  Having waited most of a day while my wife got microbraids in the past, I realized she was correct and decided to go with bantu knots instead.” Misty’s bantu knots are also a look into what goes into the texture of her hair in this comic. Bantu knots are often used as a form of “twist out” or protective style that also helps define the curls in natural hair. Misty may wear these knots as a hair style for a day or two and then take them out, or just sleep in them and undo them in the morning. The result will be larger defined curls and volume.

A real life example of that is Simone Missick’s hair in the Netflix Luke Cage series. Much to my excitement they also went with a more contemporary take on Misty’s hair for this iteration. I know I personally was so excited to see her hair represented this was and I wasn’t the only one.

Essence magazine wrote an entire article about what products Simone uses on her hair to achieve her Misty Knight curls.

She even gets asked on twitter by fans.

Representation is important and Simone knows that. Simone was asked in an interview what she thought the most important thing playing Misty for her was. She said “To be able to have my natural hair on TV, that will encourage so many more women who wear their hair natural who are told it’s not professional enough. I think it’s encouraging to all women to be who you are.” This is a powerful and relevant statement in our current political climate. So many women are not allowed to wear their natural hair to work for fear of being fired or not taken seriously. Girls are getting kicked out of school for having braids or are being told their afro is “too distracting”. The hair of black women has become a subject of political discussion but having positive, powerful role models in media is assuring.

This brings us to the two newest black female superheroes, Riri Williams and Lunella Lafyette aka Iron Heart and Moon Girl. I was ecstatic when these two girls were introduced because not only were they young and smart and black but they also wore their hair naturally curly. It would have been very easy for Marvel to just draw these girls with straight hair. Nothing about the character inherently warrants them to have natural hair but they still do and that is important especially in a world where natural hair is becoming more common, especially in the younger generation. I’ve met teenaged girls who have never had their hair relaxed before, which was unheard of when I was growing up. The choice to give these two new young characters natural hair affects not only society’s expectation and value of women with natural hair but also how the representation of that hair affects young women of color and their relationship with their hair. But even me, a 28-year-old professional woman, saw these little girls and I got excited. I myself have only been natural for a little over a decade. That representation is important for everyone.

In issue number 15 of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur we see a crossover with Riri Williams. We get a great interaction with these characters and even a moment where Riri stops herself from thinking she can tell Lunella what to do and makes the connection that Lunella is a smart and capable girl that can make decisions for herself.  However, a big problem I had in this issue is a scene between Lunella and her mother.

We get visuals here, Lunella sitting between her mother’s legs while she braids her hair. Lunella looks mad, like most little girls are when they are getting their hair done but the dialogue here has some issues. Lunella doesn’t think having her hair done is necessary right now. She say “Its ok if I need to mess up my hair when saving the world.” And her mother responds to that with “You need to look respectable, Lunella.” “Respectable” is in bold type. The writers of this comic did not see an issue with this wording and have said they didn’t mean anything by it but using the word “respectable” in regards to black hair is not something to take lightly.

When writer Brandon Montclare, was asked about this on Twitter his response was “And certainly not saying you have to like it or cant find it problematic! But that criticism extends beyond the writer.” This implies the reader is to blame for being offended by this panel instead of the writer understanding that his words, especially words said by a black character being written by a white male, may have a stronger implication than intended. They are implying that Lunella, or by extension little curly haired girls everywhere, need to have combed, styled, or neat hair to be seen as “respectable”. A sentiment black people have been fighting against since the Civil Rights Movement. To have this mentioned in this comic, marketed towards children, and have it not be a source of commentary but stated as nonchalant fact is alarming. This book and these characters can be used celebrate black culture and black girl genius, not teaching girls to police their hair and conform to white western standards of beauty to be taken seriously.

In conclusion, there is an obvious connection between good representation of black hair drawn by artists who have a personal understanding of the cultural significance. In analyzing the newly introduced black female characters, I am both hopeful and apprehensive, since white artists still dominate the genre and contribute to harmful stereotypes about black hair whether they intend to or not. Hopefully future comic adaptations will continue in the vein of the current Misty Knight and continue to improve hers and other character’s representation. And obviously involving black artists who have first hand knowledge of the cultural attitudes toward hair would be a huge improvement.

Zafu Zabuton Meditation Cushion Set

It's difficult to talk about improvement and self-care without mentioning meditation! This practice has been life changing for me, whether on a cushion or in more active styles like Ikebana. 

One of my recommendations for meditators is to create a holistic space dedicated to meditation. You can include altars, special items and more, but don't forget the meditation pillow! This set from Samadhi is the ideal combination, featuring a sitting cushion as well as a larger, flat cushion to protect the knees and ankles. Not sure if your gift recipient would like meditation?

Whether you're experiencing challenges or just hoping to get to know yourself better, journaling is an excellent way to fill your own cup and keep track of your goals and achievements. 

I love this eco-friendly journal, handmade in Nepal!

Not only does this journal provide a beautiful place to capture and explore your thoughts, it contains rich Nepali history and supports individual artists in the Himalayas!

The Furoshiki Handbook

Another beautiful Asian tradition I love is Furoshiki. Furoshiki is the art of Asian fabric wrapping, rich in symbolism and making its way to the western world. Furoshiki uses cloth to wrap a variety of objects, and the ties in the fabric represent ties between the individuals giving and receiving the items. 

Furoshiki is a way to offer great care and detail in how we present our gifts and feelings to others. It is even touted as a great communication tool. This book teaches basic Furoshiki tying as well as more intricate and elaborate styles of tying, including specific examples like bottles, books, scarves and more!

The power of focus: Why you should tackle one goal at a time

I used to be the sort of guy who loved to have a list of goals. At least once a year — usually around New Year — I'd sit down and make a list of all the things that were wrong with me, all of the things I wanted to change.

In 2007, for instance, I made a list of 101 things I wanted to accomplish in 1001 days. (It took me longer than three years to finish that list, by the way. In fact, I still haven't done everything on it because my priorities have changed. But now, ten years later, I see that I have completed nearly all of the ones that still matter.)

Eventually I realized that making a long lists of resolutions is a sure path to disappointment — at least for me. There's a reason you see newspaper and TV stories every spring about how most people aren't able to maintain the resolutions they set at the first of the year. It's because most of us try to do too much. (And, I think, because we try to set goals that aren't truly aligned with our primary purpose in life.)

Nowadays, I do something different, something that's actually proven to be successful. Instead of trying to change many things at once, I've learned to change only one thing at a time.

One Thing at a Time

In 2010, for instance, I focused on fitness. In fact, I dubbed 2010 “The Year of Fitness”. My aim was to lose fifty pounds. Every decision I made, I made with that goal in mind. You know what? It worked. Though I didn't lose fifty pounds that year, I did lose forty. (And I lost the final ten by the middle of 2011.)

I was able to do this because for the entire year, my only goal was to get in shape. I was focused. Nothing else mattered. I didn't have any other big goals clouding my view or competing for my attention. I set one goal, and I worked hard to meet it.

In 2011, my one goal was to learn Spanish. And I did it. Three times a week, I paid a Spanish tutor for ninety minutes of personal instruction. In my spare time, I watched Spanish movies and listend to Spanish music. I read Spanish books. I consumed Spanish podcasts. Within a year, I'd achieved reasonable fluency in the language. I could carry on converstations in South America, and I could read Spanish-language novels. (Though not all Spanish-language novels.)

In 2012, I tried something a little different. Instead of one big goal for the year, I chose to work on one goal each month. Some examples:

In March, I had lunch or dinner with a different friend every day. This let me reconnect with people I'd been missing.

In April, I embarked upon my Extreme Dating Project. I'd just been divorced, and my goal was to meet as many women as possible. (April was a fun month! And it led to my current relationship with Kim.)

Next, my goal became to make it to the gym every day in May. I didn't quite succeed — I only worked out 28 out of 31 days — but I came close.

My next goal was “no junk in June”. I focused on my diet, which helped me lose five pounds and two percent body fat.

Sometimes I spend a year on any given goal. Sometimes, I spend a month. And sometimes I spend even longer! After Kim and I decided we wanted to take an RV trip across the United States, for instance, I spent the next eighteen months devoted to that project.

During the first part of 2015, we shopped for and purchased a motorhome, then prepped it for life on the road. We left Portland on 25 March 2015 and spent the next six months exploring the U.S. We paused for six months in Savannah, Georgia, before beginning our homeward journey this time last year. On 29 June 2016, we made it back to Portland. We had a blast — because for those eighteen months, we were committed to one thing and one thing only.

You get the idea. At any given time, I'm concerned with only one major goal.

One Problem, One Correction

My friend (and personal trainer) Cody espouses the “one thing at a time” philosophy when he works with clients at his gym. Here's how he describes his approach:

One of the teaching skills that is developed in good coaches is the concept of “one fault, one correction”. The idea is to take the most important correction needed and just focus on that one thing. Attack it from different angles if needed, but be tenacious on correcting the biggest fault only. Once that has been achieved, the Coach and Athlete can move on to the next biggest fault, then the next and so on, in a never-ending journey toward excellence.

Cody says that by focusing on one thing at a time, you can:

Obtain greater focus. When you try to correct more than one thing at once, it's easy to become distracted. You can't do any one thing well because you're trying to do many things poorly. But if you concentrate on a single goal, you're able to obtain a laser-like focus that better helps you achieve that objective.

Reduce stress. If tackle too much at once, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. It seems like you'll never get it all done. When you focus on one thing at a time, you know that's the only thing you have to worry about. This relieves a lot of pressure.

Build confidence. “Honing in on one challenge and overcoming it can give you a tremendous feeling of success,” Cody says. This boosts your belief that you can overcome other obstacles. When you kick ass on your first goal, you know you can kick ass on the next one.

Cody puts this philosophy into practice every day in the gym. He uses it when coaching me on squats, for example. When I started at his gym, my form was awful. I couldn't do an actual squat — not even without weight. By correcting one thing at a time, I made great progress. (At my peak, I could backsquat 245 pounds, which was 150% of my body weight!)

The myth of multitasking and the magic of single-tasking are well known. Study after study after study has demonstrated that when we try to do more than one thing at once, quality and quantity both suffer. It's much better to finish one thing before tackling a second. (Did you know that those who claim they're best at multi-tasking are actually worst? It's true!)

Exercise: Here's one of my favorite demonstrations of how multitasking hinders rather than helps. Grab a pen, a piece of paper, and a stopwatch. First, time yourself as you write the alphabet from A to Z followed by the numbers 1 to 26. Next, time yourself as you alternate between writing the letters and numbers, putting them each in their respective columns (or rows): “A 1 B 2 C 3”. When I tried this just now, it took me 30.49 seconds to complete the first pass (with no errors). It took me 43.57 seconds to complete the second pass (with one error — I wrote F instead of 5.)

In his book The ONE Thing, entrepreneur Gary Keller advocates relentless focus on a single goal at a time. Specifically, he recommends asking yourself this question: “What's the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”

Keller writes, “Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus…You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.”

The Bottom Line

I've been using the “one thing at a time” approach for more than seven years now. It's made me happier and more productive. And it's because of this success that I've become such a huge advocate for creating a personal mission statement. When you have a single over-arching purpose, it's so much easier to prioritize the other things in your life.

But I want to point out that I'm not advocating slavish devotion to your one goal. Not at all. While you're pursuing fitness or learning Spanish or traveling the country in an RV, there's still time to work on other areas of your life. And you should constantly strive toward holistic personal growth.

What I'm advocating is choosing one thing that takes priority over all other things, and then sticking to that until you meet your objective. If your aim is to achieve a certain weight or — better yet — to develop a fitness routine, then make sure that is the one thing that never gets pushed aside for other priorities.

Also note that the one thing that's most important to you this year or this month or this week might be different from your personal mission. Or it might be some small subset of that larger goal. My personal mission is all about personal growth and exploration. But this month, my primary aim is to reduce my alcohol consumption. My aim for next month is to — finally! — complete the Get Rich Slowly redesign.

Lastly, I should note that although I've found this strategy effective and I'm writing an entire article advocating it to you, the reader, I still sometimes forget to use it.

One reason I suffered from anxiety this spring is that I had forgotten my own advice to tackle one major goal at a time. I was trying to do too much. My therapist helped me to see that I had unrealistic expectations for myself and that I needed to dial back my ambition.

“Oh yeah,” I thought. “One thing at a time. I need to focus on one thing at a time.” So I am.

What is a Blog and How is it Different from a Website? (Explained)

Often readers ask us about what is a blog, and how is it different from a website? If you are thinking about starting a blog or a website, then understanding these terms will help you meet your goals.

In this beginner’s guide, we will explain what is a blog and how is it different from a traditional website. We will also talk about usage scenarios, with real-world examples, and their benefits.

What is a Blog?

A blog is a type of website where the content is presented in reverse chronological order (newer content appear first). Blog content is often referred to as entries or “blog posts”.

Blogs are typically run by an individual or a small group of people to present information in a conversational style. However, now there are tons of corporate blogs that produce a lot of informational and thought-leadership style content.

Typical blog posts also have a comments section where users can respond to the article.

History of Blogs

Blogs evolved from online diaries and journals in the mid-90s. At that time, internet users were already running personal web pages where they published regular updates about their personal lives, thoughts, and social commentary.

The term web log was first used during the late 90s, which later became ‘weblog’, then ‘we blog’, and finally just ‘blog’.

Due to the growing number of such web pages, several tools started to appear, which made it easier for users to create online journals and blogs. These tools helped popularize blogging and made the technology accessible to non-technical users.

In 1999, the popular blogging website Blogger.com was launched, which was later acquired by Google in February 2003.

The same year, WordPress released its first version as a blogging platform in May 2003.

Today, WordPress is the world’s most popular blogging platform powering over 30% of all websites on the internet.

What is The Difference Between Blog and Website?

Blogs are a type of website. The only real difference between a blog and other types of website is that blogs are regularly updated with new content, which is displayed in reverse chronological order (newer posts first).

Typical websites are static in nature where content is organized in pages, and they are not updated frequently. Whereas a blog is dynamic, and it is usually updated more frequently. Some bloggers publish multiple new articles a day.

Blogs can be part of a larger website. Often businesses have a blog section where they regularly create content to inform and educate their customers.

You can use WordPress to create both, a website and blog, that’s why a lot of business owners use WordPress to build their small business website.

In simple terms, all blogs can be a website or part of a website. However, not all websites can be called blogs.

For example, WPBeginner is a blog and a website. Our website has other content which is published in a non-blog format like glossary, about us, and contact pages.

Now, let’s take a look at another example. This time a website called Awesome Motive. It is a business website and belongs to WPBeginner’s management company.

It does not have a blog or any content published in sequential order. It uses pages to organize and present information about a business and collects user feedback by adding a contact form.

You can also say that blogs have articles that are organized using categories and tags. On the other hand, websites use pages to organize and display content.

Blog or Website – Which One is Better?

As a beginner, you may be wondering whether you should start a blog or a website, which one is better? To be honest, the answer to this question really depends on what your goals are.

Many small businesses around the world have traditional websites made up of just pages and no blog. Such small websites are often made to create an informational web presence for a business, organization, or individual.

On the other hand, more and more businesses are realizing the potential of a blog in their marketing strategy. They are adding a separate blog section to their traditional websites and using it to get more traffic from search engines.

Take OptinMonster, it is a lead generation software and their website has traditional sales pages showcasing their product and its features.

They also have an informational blog where they teach users how to improve conversions and get more leads. This helps them cover their industry keywords to get free traffic from search engines and make more sales.

Even if you are a business, a non-profit organization, or a professional, adding a blog to your website can help you achieve your goals.

What is The Difference Between Blog Posts and Pages?

WordPress is the most popular blogging platform and a powerful content management system. By default, it comes with two content types: posts and pages. Often beginners get confused between the two.

Blog posts are displayed in a reverse chronological order (newest to oldest) on your blog page because they are timely content which means your users will have to dig deeper to view older posts.

Pages are static “one-off” type content such as your about page, contact page, products or services pages, home page, and more.

To learn more, see our beginner’s guide on the difference between posts and pages.

Pages are usually used to create a website structure and layout. Even blogs can have pages alongside them (See our list of important pages that every blog should have).

Why Do People Blog? What are The Benefits of Blogging?

Each individual blogger has their own motivation for blogging. Many of them use it as an alternative to keeping a diary or journal. Blogging provides them with a venue to share their creativity and ideas to a wider audience.

Top brands and businesses create blogs to educate their customers, share news, and reach a wider audience. Blogging is an essential part of online marketing strategy for many businesses.

Following are just a few benefits of blogging.

Provides an avenue to organize your thoughts and ideas

Allows you to showcase your skills, creativity, and talents

Help individuals become an authority in their industry

Helps you socialize with interesting like-minded people online

Many bloggers make money from their blogs using various monetization methods

Businesses use blogging to bring more potential customers to their websites

Non-profits can use blogs to raise awareness, run social media campaigns, and influence public opinion

What are Some Examples of Good Blogs?

Blogging is huge!

Millions of individuals and businesses from all over the world have blogs. This means that there are blogs on just about any topic you can think of.

Here are some good blogs that you can check out as an example. We have hand-picked the best blogs in different industries to give you an idea of how diverse blogs are.

1. Pinch of Yum

Pinch of Yum is one of the most popular food and recipe blogs online. Started by Lindsay, a high school teacher, the blog allowed her to quit her day job and become a full-time blogger.

2. WeTheParents

WeTheParents is a popular parenting blog run by Neve and Keane (the parents). They share parenting tips for moms and dads and while doing so they make money by earning commission on products they recommend.

3. We Wore What

Started by Danielle Bernstein, We Wore What is a popular fashion blog. With more than 1.5 Million followers, it covers everything from fashion to interior design to menswear.

4. Nerd Fitness

A fitness blog started by Steve Kamb, Nerd Fitness is dedicated to helping people stay fit. It provides fitness advice, motivation, support, diet and exercise tips.

5. Lost With Purpose

A popular travel blog run by Alex, who shares her journeys while offering travel tips, advice, and guides for other backpackers.

6. Tiny Buddha

Tiny Buddha is a personal development blog created by Lori Deschene. The blog publishes content on happiness, love, relationships, mindfulness, spirituality, simplicity, minimalism, letting go, and more.

There are many more great blogs out there on many different topics. See our list of the most popular types of blogs for some more ideas.

How Do Bloggers Make Money?

Usually, people think of bloggers as hobbyists. Some of them are, but a large number of bloggers make money from their blogs. This enables them to focus more on their blog, quit their day jobs, and build successful online businesses.

The more successful bloggers can make six-figure, seven-figure, and even eight-figure incomes from their blogs.

Below are a few ways that most bloggers use to make money from their blogs:

The most common and probably the easiest way to make money online is by displaying ads. However, as a new blogger, you will not be able to contact advertisers directly or manage them on your own.

This is where Google AdSense comes in. It takes care of finding ads, displaying them, collecting payments from advertisers, and sending you those payments for a small cut.

Many bloggers also make money through affiliate marketing. Basically, they recommend products on their websites and earn a commission when users buy those products.

Other common monetization methods include memberships, selling online courses, or adding an online store to the blog.

See our list of proven ways to make money online from your blog for some more examples.

We also have a list of “easy-to-start” online business ideas that you can check out.

Can Anyone Start a Blog?

Yes, anyone who wants to start a blog, can easily do so.

In the early days of blogging, users needed coding skills to even update their blogs. Now, there are plenty of tools that allow you to easily create a blog without ever writing code. If you can point-and-click, then you can build a blog within minutes.

Choosing the wrong blogging platform to start a blog is the most common mistake that beginners make. However, since you are here, you will not be making this mistake.

We recommend using WordPress. It is the world’s most popular blogging platform and website builder. Over 30% of all websites on the internet are built using WordPress, just so you can get an idea of how popular it is.

There are two types of WordPress: WordPress.com, which is a hosted solution, and WordPress.org also known as self-hosted WordPress. See our guide on the difference between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org for more details.

We recommend using WordPress.org because it gives you instant access to all WordPress features. It also allows you to easily make money from your blog without any restriction.

Want to learn more about WordPress? See our complete WordPress review for detailed breakdown of its features.

You will need the following things to start your own WordPress.org blog.

A domain name (This will be your blog’s address and what users will type in their browser to visit it. For example, wpbeginner.com)

Website hosting account (This will be home of your blog’s files)

20 minutes of your time

Normally, a domain name will cost you around $14.99 per year and website hosting $7.99 per month. Now if you are just starting out, this seems like a lot of money.

Thankfully, Bluehost has agreed to offer WPBeginner users a free domain and discount on hosting. They are one of the biggest hosting companies in the world and are officially recommended by WordPress.

Basically, you will be able to get started for $2.75 per month.

Typical websites are static in nature where content is organized in pages, and they are not updated frequently. Whereas a blog is dynamic, and it is usually updated more frequently. Some bloggers publish multiple new articles a day.

Blogs can be part of a larger website. Often businesses have a blog section where they regularly create content to inform and educate their customers.

You can use WordPress to create both, a website and blog, that’s why a lot of business owners use WordPress to build their small business website.

In simple terms, all blogs can be a website or part of a website. However, not all websites can be called blogs.

For example, WPBeginner is a blog and a website. Our website has other content which is published in a non-blog format like glossary, about us, and contact pages.

Now, let’s take a look at another example. This time a website called Awesome Motive. It is a business website and belongs to WPBeginner’s management company.

It does not have a blog or any content published in sequential order. It uses pages to organize and present information about a business and collects user feedback by adding a contact form.

You can also say that blogs have articles that are organized using categories and tags. On the other hand, websites use pages to organize and display content.

Blog or Website – Which One is Better?

As a beginner, you may be wondering whether you should start a blog or a website, which one is better? To be honest, the answer to this question really depends on what your goals are.

Many small businesses around the world have traditional websites made up of just pages and no blog. Such small websites are often made to create an informational web presence for a business, organization, or individual.

On the other hand, more and more businesses are realizing the potential of a blog in their marketing strategy. They are adding a separate blog section to their traditional websites and using it to get more traffic from search engines.

Take OptinMonster, it is a lead generation software and their website has traditional sales pages showcasing their product and its features.

They also have an informational blog where they teach users how to improve conversions and get more leads. This helps them cover their industry keywords to get free traffic from search engines and make more sales.

Even if you are a business, a non-profit organization, or a professional, adding a blog to your website can help you achieve your goals.

What is The Difference Between Blog Posts and Pages?

WordPress is the most popular blogging platform and a powerful content management system. By default, it comes with two content types: posts and pages. Often beginners get confused between the two.

Blog posts are displayed in a reverse chronological order (newest to oldest) on your blog page because they are timely content which means your users will have to dig deeper to view older posts.

Pages are static “one-off” type content such as your about page, contact page, products or services pages, home page, and more.

To learn more, see our beginner’s guide on the difference between posts and pages.

Pages are usually used to create a website structure and layout. Even blogs can have pages alongside them (See our list of important pages that every blog should have).

Why Do People Blog? What are The Benefits of Blogging?

Each individual blogger has their own motivation for blogging. Many of them use it as an alternative to keeping a diary or journal. Blogging provides them with a venue to share their creativity and ideas to a wider audience.

Top brands and businesses create blogs to educate their customers, share news, and reach a wider audience. Blogging is an essential part of online marketing strategy for many businesses.

Following are just a few benefits of blogging.

Provides an avenue to organize your thoughts and ideas

Allows you to showcase your skills, creativity, and talents

Help individuals become an authority in their industry

Helps you socialize with interesting like-minded people online

Many bloggers make money from their blogs using various monetization methods

Businesses use blogging to bring more potential customers to their websites

Non-profits can use blogs to raise awareness, run social media campaigns, and influence public opinion

What are Some Examples of Good Blogs?

Blogging is huge!

Millions of individuals and businesses from all over the world have blogs. This means that there are blogs on just about any topic you can think of.

Here are some good blogs that you can check out as an example. We have hand-picked the best blogs in different industries to give you an idea of how diverse blogs are.

1. Pinch of Yum

Pinch of Yum is one of the most popular food and recipe blogs online. Started by Lindsay, a high school teacher, the blog allowed her to quit her day job and become a full-time blogger.

2. WeTheParents

WeTheParents is a popular parenting blog run by Neve and Keane (the parents). They share parenting tips for moms and dads and while doing so they make money by earning commission on products they recommend.

3. We Wore What

Started by Danielle Bernstein, We Wore What is a popular fashion blog. With more than 1.5 Million followers, it covers everything from fashion to interior design to menswear.

4. Nerd Fitness

A fitness blog started by Steve Kamb, Nerd Fitness is dedicated to helping people stay fit. It provides fitness advice, motivation, support, diet and exercise tips.

5. Lost With Purpose

6. Tiny Buddha

There are many more great blogs out there on many different topics. See our list of the most popular types of blogs for some more ideas.

How Do Bloggers Make Money?

Usually, people think of bloggers as hobbyists. Some of them are, but a large number of bloggers make money from their blogs. This enables them to focus more on their blog, quit their day jobs, and build successful online businesses.

The more successful bloggers can make six-figure, seven-figure, and even eight-figure incomes from their blogs.

Below are a few ways that most bloggers use to make money from their blogs:

The most common and probably the easiest way to make money online is by displaying ads. However, as a new blogger, you will not be able to contact advertisers directly or manage them on your own.

This is where Google AdSense comes in. It takes care of finding ads, displaying them, collecting payments from advertisers, and sending you those payments for a small cut.

Many bloggers also make money through affiliate marketing. Basically, they recommend products on their websites and earn a commission when users buy those products.

Other common monetization methods include memberships, selling online courses, or adding an online store to the blog.

See our list of proven ways to make money online from your blog for some more examples.

We also have a list of “easy-to-start” online business ideas that you can check out.

Can Anyone Start a Blog?

Yes, anyone who wants to start a blog, can easily do so.

In the early days of blogging, users needed coding skills to even update their blogs. Now, there are plenty of tools that allow you to easily create a blog without ever writing code. If you can point-and-click, then you can build a blog within minutes.

Choosing the wrong blogging platform to start a blog is the most common mistake that beginners make. However, since you are here, you will not be making this mistake.

We recommend using WordPress. It is the world’s most popular blogging platform and website builder. Over 30% of all websites on the internet are built using WordPress, just so you can get an idea of how popular it is.

There are two types of WordPress: WordPress.com, which is a hosted solution, and WordPress.org also known as self-hosted WordPress. See our guide on the difference between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org for more details.

We recommend using WordPress.org because it gives you instant access to all WordPress features. It also allows you to easily make money from your blog without any restriction.

Want to learn more about WordPress? See our complete WordPress review for detailed breakdown of its features.

You will need the following things to start your own WordPress.org blog.

A domain name (This will be your blog’s address and what users will type in their browser to visit it. For example, wpbeginner.com)

Website hosting account (This will be home of your blog’s files)

20 minutes of your time

Normally, a domain name will cost you around $14.99 per year and website hosting $7.99 per month. Now if you are just starting out, this seems like a lot of money.

Thankfully, Bluehost has agreed to offer WPBeginner users a free domain and discount on hosting. They are one of the biggest hosting companies in the world and are officially recommended by WordPress.

Basically, you will be able to get started for $2.75 per month.

Usborne Books: 11 fascinating facts you should know before joining [Review]

Love books?

Looking for some extra income while your kids are in school?

Usborne Books may be worth considering.

Usborne Books is a network marketing company that combines direct selling with picture books.

Amidst all the MLM shadiness of miracle weight loss pills, travel clubs that cost you more money than they save, and questionable financial tools, lies this gem of a company with the most innocent of products: children’s books.

It’s really the perfect side gig for a stay-at-home parent with a kid in gradeschool — selling children’s books in the school library while their kid is in class.

And their topical books are fascinating for all ages. Topics include math, science, history, adventure, literature, and hobbies.

3. How much does it cost to join Usborne Books? To join, you need to buy one of 2 kits: The New Consultant Mini Kit ($75) or the New Consultant Kit ($125). The Mini Kit gives you 10 titles from popular series. The full Kit gives you 20 titles. Both can be upgraded with the Add-On Business Supply set ($25) and 10 additional catalogs ($12).

4. Is Usborne Books a scam? No, they’re a division of Educational Development Corporation (EDC), a publicly traded company that’s been recognized by Forbes and Fortune.

10. Comparable companies: Origami Owl

So should you get involved?

Product-wise this company might be legit, but if you’re just interested in the business opportunity, there are better options out there…

Click here for my #1 recommendation

Either way, here’s 11 fascinating characteristics of Usborne Books you should know before joining.

#11. Part of the “Books to the Rescue” program

One of Usborne Books’ distributors started a program in the United States that donates some of their books to police departments so first responders can give them to children in times of crisis.

“(Books to the Rescue) is a way to provide comfort. It’s a way to strengthen relations between first responders and the community, and the biggest part is to provide comfort and distraction to kids,” she said. [2]

They also do book donation and matching programs often. When a 5th grade boy set out to raise money to donate over 200 books for a local nonprofit that provides therapeutic services to children, he was able to achieve his goals because Usborne Books provided 50% matching for all the funds he raised. [3]

#10. Philanthropy is a huge priority

Aside from that, Peter Usborne, Usborne Books’ founder, is a patron for READ International, charity that delivers books to schools in Tanzania. [4]

He and his children set up the Usborne Books Foundation, which works to support literacy in early childhood.

They’ve also developed the Teach Your Monster to Read program, which is a series of award-winning, FREE, reading games. Their founder Peter has even been awarded a “services to the publishing industry” award.

Giving back is clearly a priority for Usborne, and not in a shallow, use-our-charity-only-for-marketing-purposes kind of way.

#9. $75-$125 sign-on kits

Usborne Books offers prospective distributors two different options for sign-on kits.

The “Big Kit,” $125, includes:

20 best-selling Usborne books, worth over $200

Start-up supplies, including a business website, worth over $75

An Usborne Books branded box to hold everything

Access to the Sunshine Team training website

The “Mini Kit,” $75, includes:

10 best-selling Usborne books, worth over $100

Start-up supplies, including a business website, worth over $75

An Usborne Books branded box to hold everything

Access to the Sunshine Team training website

#8. Based in the UK

Usborne Books is a UK-based MLM publishing company, where independent “Organizers” receive commission on the books they sell.

They’ve been around for several decades and are both a UK institution. In fact, they are the biggest and most successful book publisher in the UK.

In the United States, their presence isn’t quite so mammoth, but they have been around since 1989, which is a very long time for MLM. Folks can sign up to be independent “Consultants” for Usborne Books and More (their U.S. moniker) just like their UK counterparts.

#7. Children’s books and young adult novels

Usborne Books publishes books ranging from baby books to young adult novels.

They have around 2,000 different titles to choose from, with great variety. [5]

Books include Egyptian mummy sticker books, guides on how to code for kids, maze books, and farmyard tales. There’s a book for everyone (under a certain age).

They even sell ebooks and books with multimedia components. Their books are of extremely high quality, and kids love them.

#6. Lots of awards under their belt

Not only are they well-established in the UK market, but they’re also well-loved.

In 2015, they won the UK Private Business of the Year Awards, and in 2014 they were named both Independent Publisher of the Year and Independent Children’s Publisher of the Year in The Independent Publishers Guild awards. [6, 7]

#5. Started by a team of writers, editors, and designers

While most network marketing companies are started by ex-MLMers who are more focused on the business structure than the product (often they have little to no experience with the product itself), Usborne Books was actually started by writers, editors, and designers with a love for books and publishing.

Sure, they have less experience when it comes to building a money-making machine, but they have a passion for and deep knowledge of their products, which is refreshing in this industry.

#4. Published in a variety of languages

In order to support efforts for global expansion, Usborne Books doesn’t just publish books in English.

Their books are translated to and published in Korean, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch, and Portuguese as well. [8]

#3. Educational consultant program

If you purchase the additional Educational Consultant Kit, you can sell your books in local schools.

Usborne Books offers discounts on bulk purchases for schools and libraries, who contact the company to be connected with a local Educational Consultant. That Consultant will then earn commission on their sales to local schools and libraries.

These Educational Consultants also have the opportunity to help schools pick out the best books for their needs and even organize, curate, and host book fairs in the schools. [9]

This sounds a lot more fun and rewarding than going over to someone’s house and showing them how to burp a Tupperware bowl.

#2. 20%-30% commission on personal sales

Consultants receive 25%-30% on their personal sales to private individuals. If you sell over $85 at a home party, you get 25%. If you sell over $85 via direct sales, you get 30%, but below $85, your commission rate drops back down to 25%.

This rate is nothing special, but it is pretty in-line with industry standards in MLM (see: Powur).

However, if they’re selling to schools or libraries in the UK, they only receive 20% commission.

Book fairs in the U.S. require a minimum purchase of $500, and consultants receive only 17% commission. School and library sales net 17%-25%.

That being said, they’re selling to these entities in bulk, so the grand total of these larger orders usually makes up for the lower commission.

#1. Recruiting via book parties

Consultants can encourage people to join their network by recruiting party hosts, who then get 10% of total party sales in free books, a free gift, and 20%-50% occasional discounts.

The focus on recruiting isn’t so heavy, which is good and bad. While MLMs that focus too hard on recruiting can be deemed pyramid scams and even receive legal penalties, companies like Usborne Books that have a solid product don’t offer a lot of opportunity for exponential growth.

You can only make so much money off personal sales, and that figure is nothing impressive.

—

Is it possible to make money with Usborne? Sure, if you tap into the right markets. But selling to your friends and family will only last so long.

Look, I’ve been involved with network marketing for over ten years so I know what to look for when you consider a new opportunity.

After reviewing 200+ business opportunities and systems out there, here is the one I would recommend:

Don’t Just Lead Well, Follow Well

Media and literature on leadership abound. Everywhere you look, there’s another book, podcast, or motivational speech on how to become a better leader.

People are clearly very interested in the topic, which isn’t at all surprising. Nearly everyone is a leader is some aspect of their lives — whether at home, at work, at church, or in clubs, sports teams, and other extracurricular and civic organizations.

It’s a funny thing though . . . given the fact there are so many people leading out there, there must subsequently exist even more folks who are following them. And yet, almost no material — no books, no podcasts, no lectures — exist on how to become a good follower. The topic is almost completely absent from education and our cultural conversation.

The public’s utter lack of interest in learning how to follow isn’t any more surprising than its keen interest in leadership. Seeing ourselves as leaders warms our pride and enhances our sense of identity. Everyone wants to see themselves as self-sufficient, independent iconoclasts — leading the charge, marching to the beat of their own drummer. The Chief. The Big Cheese. The Head Honcho.

But nobody wants to see themselves as a follower. Yuck. The word crinkles the nose. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Followers are dependent, conformist, submissive. Not at all like how we want to see ourselves.

In our egalitarian society, everyone wishes to feel they are the equal of everyone else. As much as possible, leaders and followers disguise the power dynamic that exists between them. Corporations and organizations emphasize the fact that everyone is a “team” or a “family.”

Reality stubbornly belies this bit of theater, though.

People are at least as likely, if not much more so, to be followers as leaders. After all, there are more employees than managers, more players than coaches, more readers than authors, more students than teachers, more congregants than pastors, more believers than gods.

Even if never spoken of, a hierarchy of authority and power exists in nearly every group and organization. Certain individuals have the power to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience, and others do not. And you do obey them (even though, here again, is a word we hate); you do show up on time to work, and turn in your assignments on the date your professors ask, and run sprints when your coach blows his whistle.

Rather than be delusional and self-deceiving, we ought to own up to the fact that we all find ourselves as both leaders and followers in life, and we ought not to completely ignore the latter role in favor of the former. The fact you’re a follower may be an unpleasant truth to countenance, but it’s a truth nonetheless, and should be faced directly.

Here’s another truth: acknowledging the fact that you’re a follower doesn’t have to be unpleasant. Despite the cultural baggage the term has accumulated, knowing how to follow well is a mark of a superior man (and leader), rather than that of a sheep. Just like leadership, following effectively is a skill that can be developed, and can be just as important to your success.

But, But . . . Nazis! The Obligatory Disclaimer

While being a leader has naturally always been favored over being a follower, the latter was historically still seen as a potentially positive and virtuous role. Following didn’t get a bad name until after WWII; you know, because of all those German goose steppers. Many Nazis blamed the atrocities they committed on the fact they were simply “following orders,” and obedience came to be inextricably associated with blind obedience. And so we have a very visceral reaction against the idea of being a follower (even if, as just mentioned, all of us are exactly that!).

But simple logic and common sense should dictate that good orders, which lead to positive results, can just as readily be followed as bad ones, which lead to evil. The dynamic of leading and following is what keeps communities and countries safe, charities serving, and companies innovating. Following is also not invariably myopic, but can be done with eyes wide open.

All of the below should thus be read with the very obvious caveat that one should never follow something blindly, and never obey orders that are unethical and immoral. Following well should never mean completely giving up your autonomy, but rather willfully choosing to place yourself under the leadership of a person/organization in which you believe, agreeing to follow what he/it asks of you, until which that person/organization violates the fundamental tenets under which you signed on. At which point, you withdraw your consent to follow.

Leadership/followship is a two-way street — a covenant — in which each side must uphold their part of the bargain.

Why You Should Embrace Being a Follower

Following Is Learning

If following has gotten a bad name, maybe we should re-brand it as “holding an apprenticeship.” Typically, those who are over you, are placed there for a reason; they’ve got more seniority, experience, and acumen. They’ve got something to teach you. They’re the mentor, and you’re the mentee, and you can get the most out of this apprenticeship by checking your ego and following what they ask you to do.

Oftentimes we think we know if something will work or not, or is a good idea or not, or if we will or won’t like something, but we don’t actually know until we try it. Until we do the thing. In following a leader’s instructions, we can gain a very concrete set of knowledge.

Of course, sometimes people are placed in positions of authority for the wrong reasons. They don’t have more wisdom or insight. Even then though, we can still learn — we gain an education in what not to do. What doesn’t work. And these lessons can be just as valuable for when we hopefully one day find ourselves in a similar leadership role.

In following a certain path, you might also simply learn that you’re in the wrong line of work, or at the wrong church or school. But you’ve got to sincerely try to follow the prescribed program first before you truly make that determination.

Following Is Liberating

Leaders do have more authority than followers; there’s no way around that fact. They can tell you what to do, but you can’t tell them what to do. Their position gives them power, and that’s a cool thing — they’ve got the freedom to do more stuff.

But, with power comes responsibility. Since they’re in charge, the weight of driving for success and the costs of experiencing failure sit directly on their shoulders. It’s great to be king, but a dagger’s always hanging over your head.

When you’re a follower, you have less power, but also less responsibility. And that can actually be a great thing too.

There are certain areas of life where you certainly do want to be calling the shots — the power is worth the responsibility. But to hold ultimate responsibility in every area of life would drive a man insane. Nobody can be an expert in every subject. Nobody has the bandwidth to make decisions on every issue. It’s psychologically healthy to have aspects of your life where you can simply submit — where you can let someone else be the leader and expert and tell you exactly what to do. This delegation of authority can in fact liberate you to do your best work. When you have just one specific job to do, and instructions on how to do it, you can concentrate on doing it well.

For example, I don’t want to be a leader in fitness programming; I don’t want to come up with my own workouts for myself. I tried that and got very mediocre results. Instead, I happily let my Starting Strength coach tell me exactly what to do every day. I happily submit to him. As a result, I’ve made significant progress with my weightlifting and have never been stronger. Plus, I can use the bandwidth I save by being a follower in the gym, and put it towards the areas where I do want to lead.

The same dynamic plays out in other aspects for life. There are advantages to being an entrepreneur to be sure, but also advantages to being an employee; freed from the burdens of managerial administration, the latter is liberated to concentrate on a more focused job, and to often leave that job at the office at the end of the day. Similarly, there are advantages to being a coach, but also much liberation in simply being free to play as an athlete.

Following Helps You Achieve a Higher Purpose

There are many great things that individuals can accomplish on their own. But there are many more which require a team, an organization, an institution. A quarterback can’t win the Super Bowl by himself. Charitable organizations exponentially increase the reach and impact one person alone can make. And though the idea has become fantastically unpopular, large institutions can accomplish projects that would otherwise be untenable. Governments protect and manage democracy. Militaries win world wars. Even churches, one of the most unpopular institutions of all, magnify spirituality beyond its potential as a personal pursuit.

All these teams and organizations, by necessity, are structured by varying degrees of hierarchy. Those corporations that have been entranced by the idea of complete egalitarianism in the abstract, have found that the concept leads to chaos and dysfunction when implemented in reality. For a large project to be achieved, for an expansive mission to be accomplished, some kind of chain of command must be in place.

When you place yourself within such a hierarchy, you give up some of your power and freedom — the ability to do everything your way and call all your own shots. But you gain the freedom to be part of something larger than yourself, to be part of an effort working towards a goal you could not accomplish on your own.

Following Is the Road to Leadership

Oftentimes we act as if following and leading are two dichotomous things. But they’re strongly related: good followers make good leaders. If you can’t follow well, you can’t lead well. Good leaders never ask their subordinates to do something they aren’t willing to do, and haven’t in fact done themselves.

As The Soldier’s Guide, an Army manual from 1952 puts it,

“One of the most important things a leader needs is the ability to lead himself. That’s why all our truly great commanders have been outstanding in self-discipline. It takes a strong self-discipline to be a good follower, and if you aren’t a good follower, chances are you will never be much of a leader. TO GIVE ORDERS, YOU MUST FIRST KNOW HOW TO TAKE THEM.”

Lord Moran put the same sentiment this way: “Great men have almost always shown themselves as ready to obey as they afterwards proved able to command.”

It’s not just that good followers have discipline, which good leaders also need. But good followers also know that ego is the enemy, and evince the kind of humility that’s absolutely crucial in a successful leader. People who think they’re “too good” to follow instructions in a lower-level position, invariably don’t have the attitude to succeed at a higher level one.

How to Be a Good Follower

“Whatever thou art, act well thy part.”  

The above phrase was inscribed on the door of a castle in Scotland. And it’s an excellent philosophy to adopt.

You’ll find yourself in different positions throughout your life. Sometimes you’ll be a leader. Sometimes you’ll be a follower. Whatever your position is, do it to the best of your ability. Your job may seem small and unimportant, but it’s likely essential. Without it, the organization you’re in might not function to its utmost. Put the focus on the larger mission, rather than yourself. Once you do, you’ll discover more meaning and satisfaction in your work. 

Help Others Reach Their Potential (And You’ll Reach Yours)

A good follower doesn’t have his focus just on himself and how he can advance his own goals. Leaders can see that and will either 1) find it obnoxious, or 2) find it threatening. Either result can stymie your influence in an organization.

To avoid those outcomes, make it your goal to help your leaders and fellow teammates reach their potential. In other words, be as useful as you can. Hand over good ideas to your boss and don’t worry if you don’t get the credit. Volunteer to do the jobs that no one else wants to do. Act as a booster for your fellow teammates. Anticipate the needs of those around you before they arise. Work to make everyone look good.

Those with a short-term, scarcity mindset will read that advice and think, “Man, that’s a recipe for being taken advantage of and walked over.” While it’s true some leaders will abuse your generosity, good leaders recognize and appreciate subordinates who strive to make their job easier and they’ll reward those subordinates with promotions and/or raises.

As Ryan Holiday wrote in Ego is the Enemy, “Clear the path for the people above you and you will eventually create a path for yourself.” 

Don’t Follow Mindlessly

Typically when people hear the word “follower” they think of some mindless drone that replies with “I was just following orders,” whenever confronted with a problem. These people are followers, but they’re defective. While they’ll do what you say, they’ll only do what you say. Not an iota more. They lack the ability to exercise practical wisdom and make decisions on their own that will advance an organization or a mission. These mindless followers abdicate responsibility by hiding behind the excuse “I just do what I’m told.” Instead of making a leader’s job easier, these automatons can make his life miserable by constantly going to him with questions about every little thing or passing the buck to him when things go wrong.

Being a good follower paradoxically requires you to act like a leader. You have to be willing to raise concerns when you feel an idea will be unwise and counterproductive. You have to be willing to take responsibility for problems that you’re involved in even though you technically did things “by the book.” You have to be willing to build on the instruction you’re given, to get creative, and to take action even though no one explicitly told you to act.

What to Do When You Disagree With What a Leader Asks of You

You have complete autonomy in choosing which commitments you agree to undertake, and you should be as well-informed as possible when making such decisions as to what the commitment will entail and what will be expected of you.

After you make the commitment, you have less autonomy in how to act; barring being asked to do something immoral or unethical, if you remain with the position, you are obligated to perform the role’s attendant duties, even if you disagree with an idea, or think there’s a better way, or simply don’t feel like it. That’s what you signed up for and/or are being paid for. That’s what you agreed to do.

Keep in mind that in any organization or institution, leaders are invariably going to make bad moves and give frustratingly ineffective orders. Being asked to sometimes do dumb things isn’t necessarily a sign you’re in the wrong place, it’s just par for the course. As long as the job still has its satisfactions and consolations, and the team is still moving towards a good goal — however painstakingly slowly and haphazardly — it can still be fulfilling to stay on.

But what if you are consistently given orders/tasks that you find egregiously dumb or mind-meltingly counterproductive, and which you balk at carrying out? Several choices remain open to you:

Patiently stay the course, earning your way into a position where you’ll become the leader and have the power to finally implement your own ideas. Even before you make it into the leadership position, the organization’s culture may still badly need the leaven of your influence. You may decide that you can still be a force for good in making small changes, and decide to do what’s necessary to earn some cred and work your way up the chain of command, in order to one day call the big shots yourself.

Modify expectations of what your following will mean. There may be cases where, though you have stopped supporting an organization’s tenets, you still wish to participate in it to some degree. For example, you may have lost your faith, but continue attending a church for the sake of your wife and children. In such a case, you ought to simply be transparent with other members about the state of your commitment, so they can appropriately manage their expectations. Most people are quite tolerant of this stance; they’d rather someone be honest, and say they won’t do something upfront, than say yes to something on which they really don’t plan to follow through.

Quit the role/job/position outright. Sometimes you’re simply too much at loggerheads with the leadership to continue on. If you’ve raised your concerns with leadership to no avail, and done your best to make it work without progress, walk away (ideally without burning bridges).

The one thing you shouldn’t do, is to continue on with your role, while sandbagging your effort. You become an albatross to the group’s goals, which is unfair to the leader, and unfair to your teammates. To keep a position, while willfully failing to follow instructions and perform one’s duties, is to flatter yourself that your personal, secret defiance counts as a real rebellion, while actually lacking the backbone to publicly break away. You remain a conformist, while losing your integrity.

Igor Ledochowski – Mind Bending Language Mentoring Program

More info — http://archive.is/gxJW9 Never Publicly Released Before! Add This Expert-Level Training to your hypnosis library… and… Now You Can WATCH Transformational Change-Work “MBL” IN ACTION With Real People “As-It-Unfolds”: (There’s no better way to learn the finer nuances of MBL than to see it in action)… You’ll also see my interactive and point-by-point coaching with mentees who paid $5,000-a-head to my exclusive MBL Mentoring Program in the Dominican Republic Igor ledochowskiFrom Igor Ledochowski: Dear Reader, What this is about: I personally mentored and provided “on the spot” individual coaching to just 10 mentees who wanted to use Mind Bending Language (MBL) for real life transformation and therapeutic work. That live mentoring program (which is broken down into 22 Modules that you can now get from this page) lasted 6-days; it was very “hands on” and intensive — (with a heavy emphasis on demo practice sessions) — and, each mentee… Paid $5,000 For The Mentoring The caliber of the mentees was extremely high and they had lofty expectations of what they wanted to achieve. So I REALLY had to deliver. So, the first 2-days of the mentoring program (and hence the Modules) were dedicated to teaching (or re-integrating) the core principles of MBL into each mentee — with the emphasis on using MBL for personal transformation and therapeutic work in a hypnotherapy-like context. Because this was based around personal transformation and therapeutic work the foundations were naturally quite different compared to using Mind Bending Language purely for covert hypnotic influence. Then, the remaining 4-days of the mentoring (and Modules) were the “real meat” of the mentoring — where I worked with each individual mentee (often in practice sessions or through point-by-point interactive coaching) on the advanced issues or topics that they wanted to cover. In other words — the mentees came along with all the areas and issues they wanted to “iron out” or further refined when using MBL for therapeutic-type purposes. And I dedicated a whole 4-days to “answering” all their questions by demonstrating, coaching and SHOWING them how it’s done. That Is What You Will Also Be Able To “Sit In On At Close Quarters” When You Watch The Modules Of The Demos & Practice Sessions You will be able to see MBL in action as it pertains to people’s real issues and problems. More than that (and this is an important distinction that sets the mentoring above and beyond other training’s I’ve done on MBL to a larger training audience) you will see how I coach the mentees — in real time, while working with real people, on real issues. And the culmination of watching all the demonstrations, the interactive point-by-point-coaching and the practice sessions themselves is you will SEE and “just get” how to dramatically enhance the effectiveness of MBL… By BEING Hypnotically Mind Bending… Even If You Do Not Say A Word! What does that mean? Well (to use an analogy), think of a masterful screen actor like, say, Al Pacino. If Al Pacino were simply to read his lines when required of his character he would not be even half the actor that he is. What Al Pacino is an absolute master at is capturing your attention on screen more by what he doesn’t say in-between what he does say. Pacino is able to “steal” a scene in a movie… Even When The Camera Is Focused On Another Actor Who Has The Speaking Part! That serves as a good analogy for what I mean by BEING hypnotically mind bending… even if you do not say a word! Of course, you WILL still need to use the actual LANGUAGE of MBL. But (and this is a subtle yet extremely powerful nuance that will really “click” for you when you watch the Modules)…. MBL is significantly enhanced when you are able to command attention and “communicate” — in a hypnotically mind bending way — to a person’s unconscious in-between the spoken words that you say. In fact: It’s the “in-between-the-words-communication” that is responsible for a good 60% to 80% of the effectiveness of spoken MBL when used in a therapeutic context. I’ll explain why: The most critical moment in using MBL with someone (and this is extra true when using MBL for sensitive personal transformation and therapeutic work) is when your subject presents you with what I call… An “Unconscious Moment” What’s an unconscious moment? And why are they so important when using MBL in a therapeutic context? Well, here’s the thing: When someone has a personal issue or problem that they want resolved… their unconscious mind (unknown to them) will often be protecting anyone (including, and especially, themselves) from “getting at” the heart of the problem to resolve it. It’s almost as if their unconscious has built a fortress wall around their problem. The good news is — if you are skilful and vigilant enough when using MBL you will be able to spot “unconscious moments” when they arise within your subject — and here’s the key part… It Is These UNCONSCIOUS MOMENTS That Are The “Doorways” Through The Protective “Fortress Wall” Around The Heart Of Their Problem And so, the most important (the most critical) step in working with MBL in a therapeutic context is to be able to recognize the “unconscious moments” (the “doorways”) through the protective mechanism of their unconscious mind. You HAVE to spot and leverage the unconscious moments to be able to use the language part of MBL most effectively. That’s a BIG part of what I taught (and SHOWED) the mentees on the Modules how to do. Before you watch the Modules you will NOT be able to spot “unconscious moments” in people when “in-the-heat-of-action” using MBL. After you watch the Modules — and seen me point them out on camera to the mentees — the “unconscious moments” in your sessions will “scream out at you”. It’s like recognizing a hidden pattern in a painting. Once it’s been pointed out and SHOWN to you — you cannot miss it. But We Even Took It A Step Further… Because what I was able to demonstrate in practice sessions and through interactive coaching with the mentees was how to use non-verbal cues and subtle hypnotic gestures to “trigger” reactive unconscious moments from a subject (client). You could say I showed the mentees how to consciously and deliberately trigger or elicit unconscious moments from a subject so they could “get at” the real problem with MBL. In other words… When You Watch The Modules Of The Mentoring Program You Will ALSO See And Understand How To Deliberately Elicit Unconscious Moments From Even The Most Resistant Of Subjects Remember: The unconscious moments are the “doorways” through the (unconscious) protective “fortress wall” around a person’s issue or problem. And the fastest, easiest and most comfortable way to purposefully open those unconscious “doorways” is by COMBINING: 1). Mind Bending Language (MBL) along with… 2). Mind Shifting Questions AND… 3). Subtle non-verbal hypnotic cues and gestures. When you COMBINE Mind Bending Language with Mind Shifting Questions with subtle hypnotic cues and gestures you are able to get profound and fast transformational changes and therapeutic resolutions with subjects or clients… By Using The Spoken Words Of Mind Bending Language… LESS It really is the less is more approach to using MBL. And guess what else? There is another HUGE benefit of the less is more approach to using MBL (as demonstrated on the Modules of the mentoring program) and that is the subject (client) is allowed the “space” and the time to process their own unconscious “blocks”. And that means you don’t have to try to come up with a solution to their problems (or even how to handle them) — your job is more about steering them (through the use of MBL, non-verbal hypnotic cues and mind shifting questions) to access their own inner resources to solve their own problems. And because of that change in dynamic… It Takes A HUGE Amount Of Pressure Off You As The Hypnotist Plus… Subjects are actually able to get resolution from their issues and problems much FASTER (with less stress) than if you had to solve their issues with the use of the language component of mind bending language alone. Now, in print all this may sound fine and good — but how do you really “get” what I’m saying and how do you put it all into effect in a refined and elegant way that you’ll feel comfortable with? Well, admittedly, this IS advanced, expert-level material and, unfortunately, it CANNOT be taught in a book or as a lecture. Not through traditional teaching anyway. Instead… It HAS To Be SEEN-IN-ACTION (Multiply Times With Multiple Different Issues And Individuals) With My Point-By-Point Coaching And My Running Commentary Of What Is Happening And Why And the ONLY WAY you will ever get to see it all in action in the manner I have just described is by watching the Modules of my Mind Bending Language Mentoring Program. Mindbending Language Mentoring When you watch this advanced training… You will see multiple demos in action You will see multiple therapeutic and personal transformation practice sessions You will see how I coach the mentees through “stuck points” in their practice sessions and you will see me guide them back on track in the interaction when it gets off-course You will see how I intermittently provide commentary of what is actually happening in the practice sessions with mentees and why You will see me help the mentees to recognize and leverage the “unconscious moments” as and when they arise You will see me providing interactive point-by-point coaching with the mentees You will see me doing MBL sessions with some of the mentees (to show how I conduct MBL with delicate, sensitive issues that people want resolved) You will see how to elicit the subject’s own unconscious symbology (rather than the hypnotists) so unconscious connections and change-work can take place in the best way for the subject You will see how to deal with RESISTANT subjects who resist going into their problem and skirt around it by trying to run away verbally (often by negating what the hypnotherapist is saying by using terms like `Yes, but…’) You will see how to test the transformational changes that have taken place in a subject to the point of even goading them into saying no changes have taken place (note: you may not want to actually do that in private practice — but the goading and challenging is used as an ultimate demonstration of how a client will fight to prove they have experienced rapid inner changes around their issue) You will see a demonstration of a doctor who wanted to use MBL (on himself) to increase his own level of discipline so he could get more medical writing done You will see how to get into the right “bandwidth” with a new subject so you can successfully engage and use MBL with them You will see where I deal with troubleshooting issues (issues that can jeopardize an MBL session) and how to either completely negate them from happening in the first place or how to resolve them seamlessly if they arise You will see how to comfortably deal with a subject that keeps straying away from being specific about their problem (the real-time coaching and demo that shows this is with a women who feels she is not fitting in socially in the town where she lives) You will see how to use hypnosis and MBL for sensitive medical and health issues You will see debriefing sessions where I am able to recap, highlight and provide further depth of insight on a practice session that has just unfolded between mentees You will see a real-time coaching and demo session with a mentee who wanted to resolve her issue of always being late when meeting family and friends, and how the issue was resolved using MBL You will see me teaching (and coaching) on generative change (rather than remedial change) which is where you use MBL to unlock someone’s unconscious mind to greater possibilities; rather than resolving a specific issue You will see me proving instruction on how to do MBL sessions with subjects over the telephone You will see how to never be “out of control” when using MBL with a subject — this is possible because with MBL in therapeutic situations you are always extending control to the subject and their responses guide the “content” of the session You will see how to use my PCAT formula with MBL to add to its effectiveness And, perhaps most importantly, the overarching principle you will see in action is… How To Go From “Trying To Solve People’s Problems” To BEING With Them In A Hypnotic Way Where You Both “Explore Their Unconscious Resources” Together. This change of paradigm allows the subject’s unconscious mind the “space” and processing time to find its own resolutions. And, like I said before, it takes a HUGE amount of pressure off you the hypnotist. Anyway: all of the above can be seen on the videos of the $5,000 per-head Dominican Republic MIND BENDING LANGUAGE MENTORING PROGRAM. There are 22 Modules in the program and the titles of the videos are as follows: Module 1: Mind Bending Language & Hypnotherapy Module 2: Turning Unconscious Moments Into ‘MBL’ Magic Moments Demonstration Module 3: Finding The Real Problem Using MBL Questions Demonstration Module 4: Probing Questions Demo, Demo Mentoring Debrief & How To Have Mind Bending Language Flow Naturally Module 5: Concrete Vs Abstract Thoughts & MBL Questions Demo Module 6: How To Elicit Similes & Metaphors Demo, Using Symbolic Language For Change Demo & Demo Mentoring Debrief Module 7: Dealing With “Problem Clients” Demo & How To Positively Hijack Their Resistance Module 8: Basic Pain Control Demo, Advanced Pain Control Demo & Demo Mentoring Debrief Module 9: The Story Of Ambrosia & How To Use MBL Intelligently Module​ 10: Pre-framing, Reframing and Out-framing Using MBL & Personal Trance Themes Module 11: Negative, Neutral And Positive Unconscious Moments & Accessing Resources To Create Transformations Module 12: Student Freestyle Sessions & “Increasing Your Discipline” Demo Module 13: Unconscious Moments Demo Mentoring Debrief & In-depth MBL Questions and Answers Module 14: Student Demo — “Not Socially Fitting In” With Real-Time Coaching From Igor Module 15: Demo Mentoring Debrief & Troubleshooting Problems Module 16: Using Hypnosis & MBL For Medical and Health Issues Module 17: “No Holds Barred Hypnotherapy” & Student Demo “Fear Of Starting A Hypnosis Practice” With Mentoring Debrief Module 18: How To Extend Unconscious Moments, Hypnotic Therapy Loops & Student Demo: “Accessing The Unconscious” With Mentoring Debrief Module 19: Student Demo On A Real Client With Igor Real-Time Coaching & Mentoring Debrief Module 20: Using The Power Of The Present Moment & How To Do Hypnotherapy Over The Telephone Module 21: Student Demo With A 2nd Real Client Module 22: Demo Mentoring Debrief, Generative Vs Remedial Change & Hypnotic Benediction “You Learn Directly From Igor What To Do Next. That Kind Of Training Is Invaluable…” Cindy Stone, Psychotherapist Toronto, Canada ​ All in all, just by watching the Modules you cannot help but “soak-up” the subtle (but significant) nuances of using MBL for personal transformation and therapeutic change-work. You will also find many of the MBL language concepts and techniques become more intuitive to you. You will find yourself going through an evolutionary jump from “doing” MBL to BEING powerfully hypnotic in a MBL way. And… You Will Be A More “Complete” Hypnotist. By adding the MIND BENDING LANGUAGE MENTORING PROGRAM Modules to your knowledge and your hypnosis library — you will have the personal transformation and therapeutic change-work side of things covered. Almost like a soccer player that can play with both feet. Or a tennis player who can hit a ball back with force and accuracy with both hands. And remember: You can use MBL in a role (outside traditional hypnosis or therapeutic hypnotherapy) and put yourself head-and-shoulders above your competition. In fact, if you are (or ever want to be) involved in coaching, teaching or getting the best out of other people in someway — you can use what you’ll learn on the 22 Modules of the MIND BENDING LANGUAGE PROGRAM Modules… To Quietly Unlock The FULL Unconscious & conscious Potential Of The People You Are Working With That’s exactly what my clients in the shooting-range business do with each new student using the generative change-work aspect of MBL. They literally take someone who has never held a gun before and, by creating a series of innocuous mind bending moments, they are able to get a first-time firearm student… To Hit The Center Of The Target Multiple Times And do so all within 10 minutes of first picking up a gun. That’s impressive (although not too surprising as they are using this advanced hypnosis technology). And it gives you a good idea of the power and potential of mind bending “language” as demonstrated and coached on the 22 Modules that make up the MIND BENDING LANGUAGE MENTORING PROGRAM Modules. As you’ve now seen, mind bending language or, perhaps more correctly, creating hypnotic mind bending moments has many advantages and uses beyond hypnotherapy or therapeutic type change-work (the firearms client proves that beyond doubt). You can use it with employees You can use it with colleagues You can use it with a sports team You can use it in any kind of teaching situation In fact, the options for using MBL outside hypnotherapy are virtually endless The attendees invested $5000 each to be at this program (not including flights, hotels, expenses), however during the limited-time this program is being made available you can get it for $5000 just 6 simple monthly installments of only $149 (a HUGE $4106 saving).

Igor Ledochowski – Mind Bending Language Mentoring Program

More info — http://archive.is/gxJW9 Never Publicly Released Before! Add This Expert-Level Training to your hypnosis library… and… Now You Can WATCH Transformational Change-Work “MBL” IN ACTION With Real People “As-It-Unfolds”: (There’s no better way to learn the finer nuances of MBL than to see it in action)… You’ll also see my interactive and point-by-point coaching with mentees who paid $5,000-a-head to my exclusive MBL Mentoring Program in the Dominican Republic Igor ledochowskiFrom Igor Ledochowski: Dear Reader, What this is about: I personally mentored and provided “on the spot” individual coaching to just 10 mentees who wanted to use Mind Bending Language (MBL) for real life transformation and therapeutic work. That live mentoring program (which is broken down into 22 Modules that you can now get from this page) lasted 6-days; it was very “hands on” and intensive — (with a heavy emphasis on demo practice sessions) — and, each mentee… Paid $5,000 For The Mentoring The caliber of the mentees was extremely high and they had lofty expectations of what they wanted to achieve. So I REALLY had to deliver. So, the first 2-days of the mentoring program (and hence the Modules) were dedicated to teaching (or re-integrating) the core principles of MBL into each mentee — with the emphasis on using MBL for personal transformation and therapeutic work in a hypnotherapy-like context. Because this was based around personal transformation and therapeutic work the foundations were naturally quite different compared to using Mind Bending Language purely for covert hypnotic influence. Then, the remaining 4-days of the mentoring (and Modules) were the “real meat” of the mentoring — where I worked with each individual mentee (often in practice sessions or through point-by-point interactive coaching) on the advanced issues or topics that they wanted to cover. In other words — the mentees came along with all the areas and issues they wanted to “iron out” or further refined when using MBL for therapeutic-type purposes. And I dedicated a whole 4-days to “answering” all their questions by demonstrating, coaching and SHOWING them how it’s done. That Is What You Will Also Be Able To “Sit In On At Close Quarters” When You Watch The Modules Of The Demos & Practice Sessions You will be able to see MBL in action as it pertains to people’s real issues and problems. More than that (and this is an important distinction that sets the mentoring above and beyond other training’s I’ve done on MBL to a larger training audience) you will see how I coach the mentees — in real time, while working with real people, on real issues. And the culmination of watching all the demonstrations, the interactive point-by-point-coaching and the practice sessions themselves is you will SEE and “just get” how to dramatically enhance the effectiveness of MBL… By BEING Hypnotically Mind Bending… Even If You Do Not Say A Word! What does that mean? Well (to use an analogy), think of a masterful screen actor like, say, Al Pacino. If Al Pacino were simply to read his lines when required of his character he would not be even half the actor that he is. What Al Pacino is an absolute master at is capturing your attention on screen more by what he doesn’t say in-between what he does say. Pacino is able to “steal” a scene in a movie… Even When The Camera Is Focused On Another Actor Who Has The Speaking Part! That serves as a good analogy for what I mean by BEING hypnotically mind bending… even if you do not say a word! Of course, you WILL still need to use the actual LANGUAGE of MBL. But (and this is a subtle yet extremely powerful nuance that will really “click” for you when you watch the Modules)…. MBL is significantly enhanced when you are able to command attention and “communicate” — in a hypnotically mind bending way — to a person’s unconscious in-between the spoken words that you say. In fact: It’s the “in-between-the-words-communication” that is responsible for a good 60% to 80% of the effectiveness of spoken MBL when used in a therapeutic context. I’ll explain why: The most critical moment in using MBL with someone (and this is extra true when using MBL for sensitive personal transformation and therapeutic work) is when your subject presents you with what I call… An “Unconscious Moment” What’s an unconscious moment? And why are they so important when using MBL in a therapeutic context? Well, here’s the thing: When someone has a personal issue or problem that they want resolved… their unconscious mind (unknown to them) will often be protecting anyone (including, and especially, themselves) from “getting at” the heart of the problem to resolve it. It’s almost as if their unconscious has built a fortress wall around their problem. The good news is — if you are skilful and vigilant enough when using MBL you will be able to spot “unconscious moments” when they arise within your subject — and here’s the key part… It Is These UNCONSCIOUS MOMENTS That Are The “Doorways” Through The Protective “Fortress Wall” Around The Heart Of Their Problem And so, the most important (the most critical) step in working with MBL in a therapeutic context is to be able to recognize the “unconscious moments” (the “doorways”) through the protective mechanism of their unconscious mind. You HAVE to spot and leverage the unconscious moments to be able to use the language part of MBL most effectively. That’s a BIG part of what I taught (and SHOWED) the mentees on the Modules how to do. Before you watch the Modules you will NOT be able to spot “unconscious moments” in people when “in-the-heat-of-action” using MBL. After you watch the Modules — and seen me point them out on camera to the mentees — the “unconscious moments” in your sessions will “scream out at you”. It’s like recognizing a hidden pattern in a painting. Once it’s been pointed out and SHOWN to you — you cannot miss it. But We Even Took It A Step Further… Because what I was able to demonstrate in practice sessions and through interactive coaching with the mentees was how to use non-verbal cues and subtle hypnotic gestures to “trigger” reactive unconscious moments from a subject (client). You could say I showed the mentees how to consciously and deliberately trigger or elicit unconscious moments from a subject so they could “get at” the real problem with MBL. In other words… When You Watch The Modules Of The Mentoring Program You Will ALSO See And Understand How To Deliberately Elicit Unconscious Moments From Even The Most Resistant Of Subjects Remember: The unconscious moments are the “doorways” through the (unconscious) protective “fortress wall” around a person’s issue or problem. And the fastest, easiest and most comfortable way to purposefully open those unconscious “doorways” is by COMBINING: 1). Mind Bending Language (MBL) along with… 2). Mind Shifting Questions AND… 3). Subtle non-verbal hypnotic cues and gestures. When you COMBINE Mind Bending Language with Mind Shifting Questions with subtle hypnotic cues and gestures you are able to get profound and fast transformational changes and therapeutic resolutions with subjects or clients… By Using The Spoken Words Of Mind Bending Language… LESS It really is the less is more approach to using MBL. And guess what else? There is another HUGE benefit of the less is more approach to using MBL (as demonstrated on the Modules of the mentoring program) and that is the subject (client) is allowed the “space” and the time to process their own unconscious “blocks”. And that means you don’t have to try to come up with a solution to their problems (or even how to handle them) — your job is more about steering them (through the use of MBL, non-verbal hypnotic cues and mind shifting questions) to access their own inner resources to solve their own problems. And because of that change in dynamic… It Takes A HUGE Amount Of Pressure Off You As The Hypnotist Plus… Subjects are actually able to get resolution from their issues and problems much FASTER (with less stress) than if you had to solve their issues with the use of the language component of mind bending language alone. Now, in print all this may sound fine and good — but how do you really “get” what I’m saying and how do you put it all into effect in a refined and elegant way that you’ll feel comfortable with? Well, admittedly, this IS advanced, expert-level material and, unfortunately, it CANNOT be taught in a book or as a lecture. Not through traditional teaching anyway. Instead… It HAS To Be SEEN-IN-ACTION (Multiply Times With Multiple Different Issues And Individuals) With My Point-By-Point Coaching And My Running Commentary Of What Is Happening And Why And the ONLY WAY you will ever get to see it all in action in the manner I have just described is by watching the Modules of my Mind Bending Language Mentoring Program. Mindbending Language Mentoring When you watch this advanced training… You will see multiple demos in action You will see multiple therapeutic and personal transformation practice sessions You will see how I coach the mentees through “stuck points” in their practice sessions and you will see me guide them back on track in the interaction when it gets off-course You will see how I intermittently provide commentary of what is actually happening in the practice sessions with mentees and why You will see me help the mentees to recognize and leverage the “unconscious moments” as and when they arise You will see me providing interactive point-by-point coaching with the mentees You will see me doing MBL sessions with some of the mentees (to show how I conduct MBL with delicate, sensitive issues that people want resolved) You will see how to elicit the subject’s own unconscious symbology (rather than the hypnotists) so unconscious connections and change-work can take place in the best way for the subject You will see how to deal with RESISTANT subjects who resist going into their problem and skirt around it by trying to run away verbally (often by negating what the hypnotherapist is saying by using terms like `Yes, but…’) You will see how to test the transformational changes that have taken place in a subject to the point of even goading them into saying no changes have taken place (note: you may not want to actually do that in private practice — but the goading and challenging is used as an ultimate demonstration of how a client will fight to prove they have experienced rapid inner changes around their issue) You will see a demonstration of a doctor who wanted to use MBL (on himself) to increase his own level of discipline so he could get more medical writing done You will see how to get into the right “bandwidth” with a new subject so you can successfully engage and use MBL with them You will see where I deal with troubleshooting issues (issues that can jeopardize an MBL session) and how to either completely negate them from happening in the first place or how to resolve them seamlessly if they arise You will see how to comfortably deal with a subject that keeps straying away from being specific about their problem (the real-time coaching and demo that shows this is with a women who feels she is not fitting in socially in the town where she lives) You will see how to use hypnosis and MBL for sensitive medical and health issues You will see debriefing sessions where I am able to recap, highlight and provide further depth of insight on a practice session that has just unfolded between mentees You will see a real-time coaching and demo session with a mentee who wanted to resolve her issue of always being late when meeting family and friends, and how the issue was resolved using MBL You will see me teaching (and coaching) on generative change (rather than remedial change) which is where you use MBL to unlock someone’s unconscious mind to greater possibilities; rather than resolving a specific issue You will see me proving instruction on how to do MBL sessions with subjects over the telephone You will see how to never be “out of control” when using MBL with a subject — this is possible because with MBL in therapeutic situations you are always extending control to the subject and their responses guide the “content” of the session You will see how to use my PCAT formula with MBL to add to its effectiveness And, perhaps most importantly, the overarching principle you will see in action is… How To Go From “Trying To Solve People’s Problems” To BEING With Them In A Hypnotic Way Where You Both “Explore Their Unconscious Resources” Together. This change of paradigm allows the subject’s unconscious mind the “space” and processing time to find its own resolutions. And, like I said before, it takes a HUGE amount of pressure off you the hypnotist. Anyway: all of the above can be seen on the videos of the $5,000 per-head Dominican Republic MIND BENDING LANGUAGE MENTORING PROGRAM. There are 22 Modules in the program and the titles of the videos are as follows: Module 1: Mind Bending Language & Hypnotherapy Module 2: Turning Unconscious Moments Into ‘MBL’ Magic Moments Demonstration Module 3: Finding The Real Problem Using MBL Questions Demonstration Module 4: Probing Questions Demo, Demo Mentoring Debrief & How To Have Mind Bending Language Flow Naturally Module 5: Concrete Vs Abstract Thoughts & MBL Questions Demo Module 6: How To Elicit Similes & Metaphors Demo, Using Symbolic Language For Change Demo & Demo Mentoring Debrief Module 7: Dealing With “Problem Clients” Demo & How To Positively Hijack Their Resistance Module 8: Basic Pain Control Demo, Advanced Pain Control Demo & Demo Mentoring Debrief Module 9: The Story Of Ambrosia & How To Use MBL Intelligently Module​ 10: Pre-framing, Reframing and Out-framing Using MBL & Personal Trance Themes Module 11: Negative, Neutral And Positive Unconscious Moments & Accessing Resources To Create Transformations Module 12: Student Freestyle Sessions & “Increasing Your Discipline” Demo Module 13: Unconscious Moments Demo Mentoring Debrief & In-depth MBL Questions and Answers Module 14: Student Demo — “Not Socially Fitting In” With Real-Time Coaching From Igor Module 15: Demo Mentoring Debrief & Troubleshooting Problems Module 16: Using Hypnosis & MBL For Medical and Health Issues Module 17: “No Holds Barred Hypnotherapy” & Student Demo “Fear Of Starting A Hypnosis Practice” With Mentoring Debrief Module 18: How To Extend Unconscious Moments, Hypnotic Therapy Loops & Student Demo: “Accessing The Unconscious” With Mentoring Debrief Module 19: Student Demo On A Real Client With Igor Real-Time Coaching & Mentoring Debrief Module 20: Using The Power Of The Present Moment & How To Do Hypnotherapy Over The Telephone Module 21: Student Demo With A 2nd Real Client Module 22: Demo Mentoring Debrief, Generative Vs Remedial Change & Hypnotic Benediction “You Learn Directly From Igor What To Do Next. That Kind Of Training Is Invaluable…” Cindy Stone, Psychotherapist Toronto, Canada ​ All in all, just by watching the Modules you cannot help but “soak-up” the subtle (but significant) nuances of using MBL for personal transformation and therapeutic change-work. You will also find many of the MBL language concepts and techniques become more intuitive to you. You will find yourself going through an evolutionary jump from “doing” MBL to BEING powerfully hypnotic in a MBL way. And… You Will Be A More “Complete” Hypnotist. By adding the MIND BENDING LANGUAGE MENTORING PROGRAM Modules to your knowledge and your hypnosis library — you will have the personal transformation and therapeutic change-work side of things covered. Almost like a soccer player that can play with both feet. Or a tennis player who can hit a ball back with force and accuracy with both hands. And remember: You can use MBL in a role (outside traditional hypnosis or therapeutic hypnotherapy) and put yourself head-and-shoulders above your competition. In fact, if you are (or ever want to be) involved in coaching, teaching or getting the best out of other people in someway — you can use what you’ll learn on the 22 Modules of the MIND BENDING LANGUAGE PROGRAM Modules… To Quietly Unlock The FULL Unconscious & conscious Potential Of The People You Are Working With That’s exactly what my clients in the shooting-range business do with each new student using the generative change-work aspect of MBL. They literally take someone who has never held a gun before and, by creating a series of innocuous mind bending moments, they are able to get a first-time firearm student… To Hit The Center Of The Target Multiple Times And do so all within 10 minutes of first picking up a gun. That’s impressive (although not too surprising as they are using this advanced hypnosis technology). And it gives you a good idea of the power and potential of mind bending “language” as demonstrated and coached on the 22 Modules that make up the MIND BENDING LANGUAGE MENTORING PROGRAM Modules. As you’ve now seen, mind bending language or, perhaps more correctly, creating hypnotic mind bending moments has many advantages and uses beyond hypnotherapy or therapeutic type change-work (the firearms client proves that beyond doubt). You can use it with employees You can use it with colleagues You can use it with a sports team You can use it in any kind of teaching situation In fact, the options for using MBL outside hypnotherapy are virtually endless The attendees invested $5000 each to be at this program (not including flights, hotels, expenses), however during the limited-time this program is being made available you can get it for $5000 just 6 simple monthly installments of only $149 (a HUGE $4106 saving).
