My company and podcast is about making money, keeping money, and investing money wisely. Communication is the key to increasing the potential of money and exploring the best options to keep, make, and grow money. I am a huge fan of neuro linguistic programming or NLP when it comes to having conversations about money that influence people in the right way.

• [05:43] What is NLP and why is it important? The lost user manual for the brain.  
• [06:43] The way we imagine our memories both past and future visions are what NLP centers on quite a bit. A shift in the way we internalize processes and the way that we internalize memories.  
• [07:08] Reliving memories over and over again make them more vivid. Pretty soon we are reliving lives. 
• [07:16] The ways that our brain works is so complex. Science hasn’t even scratched the surface. 
• [08:31] NLP is about looking at what my subjective interaction with my environment is.

• [09:33] Why having a high awareness is so critical for being successful. 
• [09:57] People think of NLP and personal development in general as just goal setting or positive thinking.  
• [10:20] Positive thinking isn't the message. The message is positive habits.

• [19:22] Every habit whether good or bad has a trigger that starts it. 
• [19:54] It's all attitudes and habits. But before that there's always a trigger. We need to get to the heart of the trigger.
