The Driven Entrepreneur with Matt Brauning

In Epsiode #25, Matt Brauning shares about the process of removing unwanted habits, overindulgences, and vices. Having worked with thousands of clients, Matt has noticed that there are certain patterns, habits, and rituals which tend to formulate for people on an unconscious level when they report a struggle to release such unwanted "vices." Here are a few of the key points Matt will discuss in this session: *Stress and how it connects with an overindulgence or vice*The process of identifying what a "vice" actually does for you and gives you.*Understanding transition time and how it can be a major influence on recurring "bad" habits Whether you are trying to eliminate an unwanted habit of your own, or you just know someone that might need to eliminate one, you will receive tremendous value from this episode.

This is a bonus episode which comes from one of my Monday Facebook Live Q&A session where Matt answers questions that are submitted from the podcast audience, Evolution clients, or anyone that has a burning desire to have a question answered related to entrepreneurship and/or NLP. This week, Matt answers two questions that both come from Marie Josee LeBlanc, a client of Evolution. Question #1: When there is a reference to VAKOG, it seems like there is no list for gustatory nor olfactory predicates phrases. I know these are not as commonly use in NLP AND, still, if you had a list or predicates we could use that would be cool! Even online there is not that much said. I work a lot with olfactory with my work with doterra essential oils and consequently, I may have more clients in that category than others. Since the sense of smell is linked to the oldest memory, emotions and fight or flight response, then why are we not including it more in our NLP work? Question #2: In Mapping across Matt you mentioned to look for a kinesthetic change. What if you are doing sessions on the phone? Get the answers to these questions and more by listening to this week's episode. As alway, we encourage you to share your feedback.

Welcome to The Purpose Driven Entrepreneur Podcast with Matt Brauning, Episode #21. *Quick Disclaimer: I've been under the weather this week and will return with a new studio recorded episode next week. The audio in this episode comes from a FB Live I recorded while driving. The audio is not perfect, but the content is still important and relevant. In today's bonus episode, the theme is around one main question. This came from NLP Mastery student Carissa Espinoza who asked: I am struggling to speak with authority. I feel like I don't have a voice (it doesn't have value). When it comes to business, every time I go to talk about something, I get tongue-tied and my mind tells me to stop talking. How should I approach this? What can I do to change this? This was an excellent question and something that many people tend to relate with. For my answer and an in-depth discussion about authority and expert status, listen in.
