Ever hear the term Opportunity Cost?

No? Get familiar with it because chances are you're making choices without realizing it and you're complaining about the negative outcomes as if you have no control over them.

Opportunity Cost is the potential gain you lose from other possibilities when you make a choice.

In other words if you have options A, B, C, and D and you choose A, you've lost the potential gain from choosing options B, C, and D.

What does this mean for you and what does it have to do with the unconscious?

By the time you're an adult you've made perhaps millions of decisions. Once you make a conscious decision based on your values and criteria that decision will often fall into unconsciousness and you will continue to operate from this precedence making similar decisions when you find yourself in similar circumstances.

This is how your mind creates efficiency so you don't have to take the time to decide everything all over again every time. If we couldn't do this we would take forever to make decisions and it would be a complete nightmare.

How is this a problem? The unconscious is like a software program working from values and criteria and previous decisions and much of this was established when you were very young. Some experts say as young as three years old.

It's time to update the software my friend! And we do little by little as we make bad decisions and we change our criteria and execution to fit being an adult living in an adult world.

However, some decisions are so unconscious that we have no idea how they could be holding us back from achieving goals and overall living the life we dream of.

For every one of these unconscious decisions there is an Opportunity Cost. In other words, you could be missing out big time because you're simply stuck in old programming thinking this is just how it is. The program is running you instead of you running the program.

Get control of your programing by becoming conscious of it and making better choices. No one can do it for you. This is why Hypnosis is so powerful.

What separates hypnosis from meditation is that while both are relaxing and trancelike, with hypnosis you have an agenda. With hypnosis you can intentionally heal old wounds, integrate alienated parts of yourself, and transform your dark places into your personal power.

Why do you think I'm flying Dr. Sid Jacobson all the way from New Orleans for a three day workshop June 10th - 12th? For all of the reasons I just mentioned and because Sid has more than 40 years of experience with both classic and Ericksonian hypnosis and he his NLP skills are off the chart!

Doing nothing is a decision. What's the Opportunity Cost in your life by deciding not signing up for this workshop?
