[Neurons] [NS Trainers] What Ever It Takes!

[alan at optimum-mind.co.nz]

Alan Fayter NS Trainer, New Zealand

Thanks to Colin for this, great words from a man who knows what he's
talking about!

Colin askes other trainers to share their story about how attending NS
Trainers training has lead to financial gain, and my story is no
different.

Over almost 10 years I've spent the equivelent of over $32,000(NZ) on
training and learning NLP, NS, Meta Coaching, and training with a whole
host of trainers, and that spending continues. For me when a training
comes up I want to do, I just book it and think about how much it costs
later. And I borrowed, incurred debts, etc, but more importantly did
exactly as Colin did... put my training into use immediately.

For me the financial return is secondary to doing, BEING, what I want to
be... a coach, a trainer. The emotional return of living a life where I
don't consider myself to have worked in years is fantastic! I live my
dream - and people pay me to do it!

I was already in business before my trainrs training but NS Trainers was
definately a turning point for me. It taught me to reach beyond anything I
had ever thought possble. And what you'll learn really works!

So don't just think of the financial returns, think of the lifestyle
returns, the returns of emotional freedom and happiness. For a few
thousand bucks investment, you could really live a priceless dream!

> In response to this question, as I stand in front of some 60 trainers whom

> development - irrespective of whether your employer pays for it or not.

> How

>

> I new the approximate salary band of those in the room ($50K - $70K) . I

> I continued "... are you willing to do whatever it takes to succeed as a

>

> "How many are willing to do what it takes?" I ask determinedly. I then ask

>

>

>

> You decide how many raised their hands. Would you have raised your hand -

>

>

>

> A Brief History Lesson

>

>

> I went, many years ago now (1998), to my employer and asked if they would

> support me to attend an 18 day NLP Practitioner Certification training. I

> said I was certain this course would help me gain greater results for my

> long term unemployed participants and increase my skills in attitudinal

> and

> behavioural change. My boss, after looking over the content, said it was

> too

> much out on the fringe of what they would support their tutors as

> professional development. It was too "new agey" for them. So in shortthe

> answer was - "...no, we wont support you by paying for this program for

> you".  I wasn't earning much money at the time, maybe $27K a year. I had

> no

> savings. I had bills and family commitments. I believed that this course

> would make a difference.

>

>

>

> What did I do?

>

>

>

> I went and got a loan. A loan of $8,000's to cover my time off work,

> travel

> expenses, accommodation, meals while away, enough to cover my existing

> bills

> while not earning an income and of course the training cost of the

> Practitioner program. The training Company  I worked for at the time was

> not

> going to support me in this but would allow me to take the time off -

> without pay.

>

>

>

> Would you do that? Would you do what was needed? Or would you walk away

> and

> let the opportunity go?

>

>

>

> I did this for my NLP Practitioner program. I immediately applied what  I

> new. I didn't care if I was any good at it. I just did it anyway, and

> learnt

> by doing. This gave me such great results that within 6 months I was asked

> to be a Developmental Trainer for a large Government Department and now

> earning $45k. The loan was paid back and I was in a better place because

> of

> my consistent commitment to  investing in myself.

>

>

>

> I did this again for my NLP Master Practitioner certification and applied

> what I new immediately, and within a few months I  was asked to be the

> National Training advisor, overseeing the country and training trainers.

> My

> income had risen to earning a salary of $70K a year.

>

>

>

> Are you getting a picture of what I am saying yet?

>

>

>

> While doing these NLP trainings and training in Accelerated Learning, I

> continued to purchase books, grow my knowledge of the field of Training &

> Coaching, and immediately applying all I learnt.

> Journey to NS Trainers Training

>

>

> The year was 2002. I wanted to be a trainer of NLP and searched the

> internet. I came across a training in Sydney. It was a Neuro Semantic &

> NLP

> Trainers training. I new this was it. It was more than NLP and it was

> "new".

> I asked my boss if they would support me financially to gain the

> certification as an NS & NLP Trainer with the International Society of

> Neuro

> Semantics.

>

>

>

> The answer was NO! What a letdown.

>

>

>

> They were willing to give me paid study time off for the 14 days I would

> be

> away, which was a bonus. I had enough frequent flyers points to get me an

> airline ticket for free , from Auckland, New Zealand to Sydney, Australia.

> I

> had contacts in Sydney so I could stay with them and save money on

> accommodation. But I had no money for the course fee & meals while away! I

> had financial commitments back at home.

>

>

>

> What do I do? More importantly, what would you do?

>

>

>

> Right! I got another loan!!!

>

>

>

> I knew that I would return home after the NS Trainers training, and

> because

> I could then certify people in NS & NLP that I would run trainings for the

> 12 months following and earn far more than what the training had cost me.

> Which was a loan of approximately $6,000.00 's.

>

>

>

> I attended NS Trainers training in late 2002 and returned home. In January

> 2003 I ran my first NS-NLP Practitioner training and made $14,000's in 7

> consecutive days of training with only a handful of people in attendance.

> That was the beginning. In 2003 - 2004 I left my previous job and teamed

> up

> with Lena who would later, herself, become an NS Trainer. I earnt, as a

> direct result of having my NS Trainers Training Certification from the

> ISNS

> no less than $100,000's in my 1st 12 months after NS Trainers training!

> That

> doesn't include earnings from corporate trainings in that first year of

> starting my own business.

>

>

>

> Let's do the sums. A $6,000 loan that bears a financial gain of $100,000's

> return in income within 12 months of taking out the loan. (By the way I

> took

> the loan repayments out over 18 months) Would you invest $6,000's to gain

> $100,000's ? That was almost 7 years ago now. How much has that initial

> loan

> to attend NS Trainers yielded? You guess. Was it worth it financially?

> This

> is a "no-brainer" isn't it? Of course it was worth it!

>

>

> Global Recessive Times

>

>

> With the current global recession we need to be careful where we invest.

> Property prices are still falling. Unemployment is rising. Banks are

> offering lower interest rates (excellent!) but people are slow to loan,

> and

> spend. In NZ our bank interest rates are in the low 4% range for long term

> investments. The lowest for many years. People are wanting a sure return

> on

> their investment. How can as a Coach or Trainer best take advantage of the

> Recession and invest wisely?

>

> My recommendation is, if you have all the required pre-requisites to

> attend

> NS Trainers Training in Colorado this year then do whatever it takes to be

> there. And if I had my time again. Yes I would get a loan (especially with

> current low interest rates) to attend. I know for sure that I am not alone

> as an NS Trainer who has turned the investment for NS Trainers Training

> into

> a high return financial gain. (If you're an NS Trainer and done something

> similar reply to this e-group- share your story)

>

> At NS Trainers you will learn about the business of NS Trainings. How to

> market, advertise, refer, invoice, website design etc... to ensure you are

> well equipped to financially gain and grow your business opportunity as a

> trainer of NS & NLP. You will receive all the training manuals you need to

> run the foundational trainings (excellent) NS Practitioner, Master

> Practitioner and Accessing Personal Genius. You will also be in front of

> not

> NS

> support team of Trainers. Each committed to you maximising your initial

> A Common Theme

>

>

> If you're a Meta-Coach and not yet and NS Trainer then I highly recommend

> you consider seriously about attending. Why? Let me briefly give you a few

> Richardson, Martin Urban, Cheryl Gilroy, Andrew Bryant, Germain Rediger,

> Florent Fusier, Lena Gray, Joe Scott, Omar Salom, Jan Canton,  Alan Fayter

> and myself, to name a few . Those I named are all in business for

> themselves, and all are both Meta-Coaches and NS Trainers.

>

>

>

> Is there a common link?

>

>

>

> YES!  Grow your coaching skills and business by being a certified NS

> Trainer. It's as simple as that!

>

>

>

> Ok. Enough. I've told my story.

>

>

>

> I hope other NS Trainers will share their story of how they have made
