The self improvement and personal development industry is growing in strength (and profits) with every year. Why is this? Well to answer that question I will likened it to the diet industry which also grows in similar ways with each passing year.

The diet industry is growing in strength, customers and profits every year just like the personal development industry. Now call me cynical but if the services and products offered by the diet industry worked then their customers should be getting fewer not larger (in both stomach mass and numbers).

The weight-loss industry is raking in vast amounts of money and new customers on a daily basis because they do not deliver what they say they will. If diets, potions and weight-loss pills worked like they were suppose to the weight-loss industry would shrivel and die through lack of customers!

The same rules can be applied to self improvement! If the industry delivered on its promises anyone who used a self improvement product to better their lives would never need to find another one!

The Holosync Solution

It’s hard to investigate self improvement without stumbling upon some hype about Holosync.

Holosync has been created as a means to enter profoundly deep states of meditation without the traditional effort and time required to acquire the skill. Holosync is the work of Bill Harris who made the first recordings back in the 1980s. Since then he has improved upon the prototype and updated the meditation program.

Holosync consists of a set of audio programs that use binaural beats. These binaural beats are embedded into the Holosync recordings in such a way that they induce changes in the brainwaves of the listener. Although this sounds a little frightening to some people your brainwaves actually change state throughout the day naturally. There are benefits to sustaining certain brainwave frequencies beyond there normal time-frames though. However, the skill needed to do this is only gleaned from a great many years of practise.

Benefits of Holosync

To fully appreciate the power that Holosync offers it is necessary to quickly outline the different brainwave frequencies and their associated mental and physical states.

Your brainwaves are usually in the Beta frequency range when you are in normal waking consciousness. When you daydream, read a book, watch an enthralling movie or TV program or get totally engrossed in a task your brainwaves are usually in the Alpha range. Sleep creates Delta and Theta brainwaves which are in the lower ranges of consciousness when you are not conscious of much at all.

The beauty of being able to create these frequency ranges at will, with Holosync, means that you can induce sleep, promote energized wakefulness or even increased mental focus. As well as being able to control your mental and bodily states in this way Holosync (and meditation) enables you to also release past negative emotionally programming. This is the one thing that sets Holosync apart from other binaural beats recordings and self improvement methods!

By removing negative mental patterns, beliefs and emotions Holosync gives you the ability to change how you view the world and your automatic responses to it.

Holosync for Goal-Attainment

Holosync can be used on its own for dramatic and life-changing improvements. But it really comes into its own when it is combined with any other personal development tool. It can be used to not only increase the effectiveness of other approaches but also eliminate the negative beliefs that stand in the way of success with them.

For the first time it seems the self improvement industry is actually delivering on its promises and has given us a product that works! Using Holosync on its own is a way to gain all the benefits of extremely deep states of meditation (something I will not go into here) but being able to use it as a catalyst for other self improvement programs makes it indispensible in my view.

Imagine being able to enter deep states of Alpha while listening to a hypnosis recording or reciting affirmations, creating visualizations or using any other technique to program the mind, while Holosync drives the message into your subconscious mind. Then the Holosync technology brings deeper into Delta and gently erases any negative beliefs that are hindering or opposing this new mental programming. Holosync is truly powerful!

To sum up this post I can say, from personal experience, that Holosync is extremely powerful and delivers on all its promises!

The problem begins with the “greeting” message you leave for callers. Your message probably asks callers to leave their name and phone number; and it ends by stating you will call them back “as soon as possible” (ASAP). Therein, lies your problem.

Think of your “greeting message” on your v-mail/answering machine as your electronic professional secretary or administrative assistant. Make it a professional message, one that provides callers relevant information and requests the same from them.

Record “greeting messages” that state who the callers have reached and what day(s) your message is for; ask callers to state their phone numbers twice and, then, state the purpose of their calls. Avoid playing “telephone-tag” by stating times when you can return calls, and ask callers for the best times for you to return calls to them.

Always avoid using the words, “I’ll call you back as soon as possible.” Your ASAP statement is nearly useless because, typically, your callers have no idea what your ASAP means. Does your ASAP statement mean you will call back after you return from a two minute trip away from your office, a two hour meeting, a two day business trip or a two week vacation?

Then, too, are you in the first or second hour of a two hour meeting, first or second day of a two day business trip or first or last day of a two week vacation? As you see, your ASAP adds nothing but uncertainty to your “greeting message”; it does not help your callers resolve the conflict between your availability and the urgency or deadline for their talking to you, or someone else in your company.

Change your “greeting message” at least daily; make it the first thing you do. State the day of the week and the date, so your callers know your message is current. If what you do day-in and day-out is receive and place phone calls, changes in your availability throughout the day may require changing your “greeting message” several times each day.

Based on the nature of your business, your message may need, also, to state the person and number to call in case you’re not being available creates an emergency or crises for you and/or your callers. Here’s the point; make your “greeting message” do for you what a professional secretary or administrative assistant would do if answering your phone. Your callers deserve nothing less, nor do you and your company.

For illustration, here are two examples of messages used this month:

Hello, this is Dr. Larry Baker. This message is for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday – November 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I’ll be out of the office those days. Please leave your name, state your phone number twice, leave a detailed message and indicate a couple of times on Monday, the 6th, that would be good to return your call. I look forward to getting back to you.

Hello, this is DR. Larry Baker. This message is for Friday, November 10th; I am in the office today, but have stepped out for a few minutes; and I will be out to lunch from 12:00 to 1:30 P.M. please leave your name, state your phone number twice, leave a detailed message and indicate a couple of times to return your call. I look forward to getting back to you.

These messages are longer than you normally hear; but, don’t you know more about your options? Isn’t it better than when you are asked only to leave your name and phone number and are given the typical ASAP message? Caution: it is not wise to leave “greeting messages” on your home voice-mail/answering machine that describe how long you will be away.

Short-sighted callers may complain about your longer “greeting message”; but, most callers will appreciate knowing your availability. And, if the person you called believed it necessary for your mutual business interests for you to know who to call in an emergency, you would have been given contact information.
