Teri Holland - Tips

In NLP there is no failure, there is only feedback

Letting go of limiting beliefs

Overcoming avoidance and procrastination

Fear prevents action and lack of action equals poor performance

 

Doug Morneau: Welcome back listeners, we've got another show ready to go for you here, and I've got a friend of mine joining me in the studio. I would like to introduce you to Teri Holland.

Teri has trained with master trainer, Dr. Tad James, and is a certified trainer and master practitioner of NLP, hypnotherapy, and timeline therapy, as well as NLP coaching. Welcome to real marketing real fast.

Teri Holland: Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Doug Morneau: Is there anything that you would like to add to your introduction, any changes, or updates on your business and what direction you're going these days?

Teri Holland: No, I think that pretty much sums it all up.

Doug Morneau: The question I often ask people is are you ready for a business breakthrough, or are you just willing to settle for the same? And you and had a quick chat before we fired up the recorder here to get going, can you share a major breakthrough or a success that you had with a client, or maybe it's your own company with our listeners?

Teri Holland: Yeah, for sure. I work mainly with entrepreneurs, so often when they come to me they're feeling stuck, they're trapped, they don't know what to do next. I had one in particular who came to my NLP practitioner training, not to be a practitioner, but to break through some challenges he was having in his own business. What was really holding him back was fear, because of past failures. He was sort of a typical entrepreneur who had had some major success, and then lost everything, and then had another success, lost it all. This time he was afraid of building up his business again for the risk that he might lose everything again, and what would happen if, and could he go through that again?

We let go of fear and some limiting beliefs that he had. We changed his strategies around business and doing what he did in the past. The biggest thing for him was letting go of procrastination because he was so afraid of not doing things perfectly and so afraid of failing that he just wouldn't take any action. When he let go of all of that his business transformed, and now he's having, that was five months ago now, and his business has tripled in that time. He has seen massive success from that.

Doug Morneau: That's a really quick turnaround. I see a couple of things often, one is procrastination, and the other is just I guess is procrastination, but a different sort. You realize you need to do something for your business, which is sell stuff, and people typically aren't comfortable selling, so they say, "Hey, I think I'll work on my website. Hey, I think I'll work on this," and they fill in their calendar with all this marketing stuff and none of it produces sales.

Teri Holland: Yeah, oh, absolutely. I see that a lot. It's a really common way to avoid things, and so many people say, "I don't want to sell. I don't want to be salesy, I hate sales." Really, it's looking at it differently, that until there is a transaction that happens, called a sale, then business can't happen. If you really want to help people you can't help them until there is some sort of transaction involved.

I encourage my clients to look at it as a sale is serving your client.
