Here are four simple ideas that may make your next event a smashing success. It is for those days when the traditional outdoor event just won’t be enough…

1. Wild West Day. Have a good old fashioned outdoor western show. Get a petting zoo, cowboys who juggle or stuntmen. Take the traditional acts and have them add a western element. Think country music, fun and hayrides. Read More...

1. Set Goals For Yourself

Let’s say that your goal is to lose 50 pounds. Great goal, but it is going to take a while to reach that goal. It took a while for you to put on the weight, and it is going to take time to take it off.

Setting mini-goals for yourself allows you to feel as if you have accomplished something. For instance, perhaps your goal for Monday is to avoid dipping into the candy dish at work. For Tuesday, maybe it is to take a walk. Accomplishing small goals everyday while shooting for your big goal of losing 50 pounds will make you feel as though you are taking steps in the right direction.

Hypnotist Radio Interview

We had a professional hypnotist named Erick Kand on the show this morning to shed some light on the Hypnotist Robber that has been "hypnotizing" clerks at several stores and convincing them to give him their money. Erick told us that the public has a misconception of hypnosis and that out of all the thousands of people he has hypnotized, he has never once said, "look into my eyes" or used a swinging stopwatch. Listen to the podcast to hear the whole interview!

Q: Can participants get locked in a trance state?
A: No, it is impossible. Even if the participant were to be left in a trance state, they would wake up on their own by slipping into a natural sleep.

Q: Is hypnosis dangerous?
A: No, hypnosis is not dangerous when practiced by an experienced practitioner. However, this trade is no different than any other. For instance, dentistry is completely safe, but if practiced by a self taught, non-licensed, uninsured dentist, there would be obvious risks! The same is true of a hypnotist that is not legitimately trained, certified, and insured. Utilizing this type of hypnotist can have an adverse effect on the hypnotized individuals, the show and your audience. Read More...

Hiring entertainment for your corporate event can be an overwhelming task. Today’s business climate necessitates that your entertainment is tastefully done and suited for all audiences. On the other hand, it is easy to get stuck in the corporate rut of doing “the same old thing” year after year.

I was recently contacted by a Fortune 500 company interested in something unique and different for their annual employee appreciation event. The anticipation for the event was diminished because the planners had fallen into a routine of booking “casino nights” for sixteen years in a row! Read More...

San Diego Reader - Cover Story

I'd been interested in hypnotism for some time. Probably because I'm a born skeptic and I didn't quite believe it worked but had heard of its efficacy from enough people over the years to know there must be something to it. My daughter, for example, suffers from terrible headaches, just as I did at her age. She was taught some self-hypnosis techniques by a hypnotherapist, and it helped her a great deal. I, on the other hand, had to learn the fine art of puking in my lunch box while the school nurse drove me home with what was termed a "sick headache." I'd spoken to law enforcement people who use hypnosis forensically. I knew people who had tried it to quit smoking and to lose weight. I knew enough to know that the stereotypes -- the hypnotist swinging a watch in front of a subject's face and saying, "You're getting sle-e-e-e-e-e-epy," or the nightclub act where a shy librarian is made to jump up and down on one foot, flap her arms, and bark like a seal -- were just that: stereotypes. Still, I was skeptical. Could I be hypnotized? Read More...

Are your resolutions for this year more or less the same as those you had last year?

Or perhaps you had no special goals for 2006? If so, then you may wish to consider your goal getting strategies!

As I review my own progress for the year, I had four major goals I wanted to achieve for 2006. Now that 2006 is over, I’m happy to report that I achieved three out of the four. Even though I didn’t achieve everything on my list, it’s still a good thing because I set the goals high and still laid some groundwork to achieve my fourth goal sometime in 2007.

I believe it was Jack Caanfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books who said he didn’t complain about making $90,000 when his goal was $100,000… especially since he had made only $10,000 the year before. A nine-fold increase is not too shabby! Read More...
