If you focus on your teamwork, your collaboration, the people that you surround yourself with, and the relationships that you build there really isn't anything that you can't accomplish. You're pretty much essentially limitless at what you're able to do. That's something that always stuck with me, the ability to do that.

. People think of autism as a disease that needs to be cured. And it's not a disease. It's a neurological disorder. It's not bad, or wrong, or sick. It's just different. And if we can understand how that difference plays out in our kids, we can help them maneuver the world the way the world is. And, at the same time, I also believe that it would be nice if the world could cut these kids a little bit of slack, and sort of meet them part way. That really would be my goal.

Yes, it's powerful that we can change our own subconscious beliefs and self-image and all, and that will change our own expectations of ourselves, our own abilities and what we recognize as far as opportunities, but it also goes out and has an effect on the broader world -- events, circumstances, other people's actions -- will actually be affected by our mind power work. So, that's the really great power.

I realized that my clients wanted a health practitioner, so I started studying more and more, I went to Harvard, and I studied mind-body medicine there, and I went back to school, and I did my master's and PhD with an emphasis in that mind-body medicine. It really just ... It really tickled me, I just wanted to do it so bad. And then I started writing, and then I started lecturing.

My graduate work in psychology was done at a special school for transpersonal psychology which means in addition to conventional, western psychology, which comes out of Freud and Jung and all these people, we also take into equal consideration alternative psychology such as from the east, from native people, from some of the experiments that were going on when psychedelic drugs were legal.

When I started my coaching business I didn't have that big war chest to throw a bunch of money at ads. In real estate I always had a good bit of money buried, just where I'd been doing well. I had to make up, when I started coaching, for the lack of resources with my energy and efforts, and organic stuff. That's why I'm such a big believer in the things that I teach, and I help people with because that's how I grew my business.

That's part of the reason that I've really just become such an advocate of looking for alternatives. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't go to your physician. I'm not saying that you shouldn't try physical therapy, or rhizotomy, or a steroid injection, or any of these things, because you probably should try some of those things

If nothing else, go to concussionclass.com and spend four minutes and go, oh, and it's free, okay, I'm going to sign up. We don't know what we don't know a lot of times and especially as parents we want to be protective of our kids, which means we're going to overreact if we don't know what we don't know. Getting parents more educated is obviously a big deal too.

I became very curious about my own journey because if I could really understand how I went from somebody used to say you go from zero to hero. How did I go from being off the grid to actually having a good degree of understanding. Had a good client base. Building a career. How did all this stuff transpire? So I started observing, sort of actually dissecting my past and trying to figure out how the journey was unfolding because if I understood how I did it I could actually teach that to somebody else.

So you're getting a bunch of people out there just getting so frustrated that they're doing all this work, they think they're doing all this work but really they're just kind of dancing around the fringes of reality and they're not really making a decision at all. They're just basically they're getting philosophically high every now and again when they feel a little bit down.
