Hi Brian

I absolutely loved that presentation it so worked for me . I’m sitting here wring all the notes out and it’s so the way my brain understands things!!! My soul is very excited right now so thank you thank you! I’m a life coach in training based in Scotland and and a student of the laws of attraction and all things to do with this amazing universe and have been a bit frightened to even admit that to the world so this has really given me the desire to speak out!! So effective so simple keep up the great work!!

  Thanks, Jo!

  I fully agree, Jo. The video presentation was very enjoyable and practically helpful. Even so, going for “just one person” and making an impact with that one is all I need to work with for now.

I love this! As someone who is shy and quiet and has dealt over and over with the fear of public speaking, this model for conquering your fear in 30 seconds is the best I’ve experienced yet! Thank you!

This video really helped me understand why I continue to stay where I am in life. It’s because, I’m in my comfort zone. The fact is, the only time in my life where things worked out for me have been when I had the courage to take action. Thank you for helping me remember.

Hi, thanks, Mr. Johnson,

Do you know the story about that ghost who went and killed herself etc.etc.etc? I actually stood in front of the mirror, I said her name twelve times with the tap on–and, you know what–NOTHING HAPPENED!!

(no blood, no gory stuff, no red blood cells spillin’ out)

Thank you so much!

I’ve been–was–terribly afraid of ghosts ever since 3rd grade because my friend told me a story about it once…….and now it has all gone away, thanks to your video.

I really like the way you explain things. This is the first vid of yours I’ve seen; I guess I’ll check the others out now!

Thank you again, you’re terrific!!

You got at least that one person!! I loved listening and watching this!!
“Optimizing my expectation” is the best advice I took from this.
Thank you!!

  Thank you so much, Teigra!!
Jesse

Fantastic video and great teaching style. I am trying to overcome my fears when doing stuff outside of my comfort zone like public speaking or going to a party where i don’t know anyone. My heart starts pounding but i do it anyway sometimes(not all the times) because i don’ t want to miss the opportunity. This video is very helpful and am going to watch over and over again. It was so funny when you mentioned about your business plan and winning it. Because I used to have fear for taking tests and on the test day i used to tell my parents that i will barely pass the test and later I used to end up being top in my class. Crazy fear!

  Crazy fear indeed!! Here’s to embracing the opportunities to grow and living in the potential on the other side of our fears, Jesse!

Blocking & tackling….Love the distinct layout you use of what needs to be done. Going through some fear of a “looming” job layoff. The unknown (especially paying for mortgage, food, etc) is unsettling. Breaking through the fear wall to get to the “Infinite possibilities” is where I am. Since I don’t have a functional crystal ball, I’ll power through….Enjoyed this video. Keep em’ coming. Happy Holidays!

Thanks I will use this alot
