Break Your Self Help Addiction

Brian Ridgway, Level5Mentoring.com

– The Sharkpreneur podcast with Seth Greene Episode 883 Brian Ridgway

Among the ranks of great speakers delivering truly world-class content, Brian D. Ridgway brings something that is refreshingly original: His LIVE “Spellbreaks.” A "spell" is a mental, emotional and/or psychological state, often beyond our awareness or control. These unconscious spells are what underlies and creates a persons "triggers" - and their reactions to those triggers.

In interviews, and in his work, Brian invites members of the audience to experience the power of Spellbreaking by sharing one of their unresolved, long-standing life-issues. He then helps them to dissolve their perception of the problem and helps them to permanently transcend that issue LIVE, in a matter of minutes.

Even more incredible, due to the powerful energetics of Brian’s work, when the subject has their breakthrough, everyone in the audience experiences their OWN variation of the breakthrough.

Listen to this illuminating Sharkpreneur episode with Brian Ridgway about eliminating the illusion of problems to access your Infinite Intelligence.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:

- How the self-help industry is a giant field of conflicting information with partial solutions.

- Why admitting to knowing nothing will allow you to learn and grow more.

- How a spell might manifest, what it might be, and how to know if you have one.

- Why 100% personal responsibility equals 100% total personal freedom.

- How responsibility is having infinite ever present possibility to respond to what presents itself in front of you, which is you.

- You have the power to alter anything and everything inside of you.
