Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the hypnosis you are in, a mindset of sorts. It's not about better or worse that I want to explain now. You may decide for yourself what you think about that. It is interesting, though, that we are all in hypnosis in our own way.
Let me briefly explain what I mean by this. Imagine I say to you, "Can you make 1,000 euros a year?" Then you probably think that that is not very difficult and that you can do it. You might even think it's a bit of a stupid question. Even your child should be able to do this if they try a little bit.
Most people in the Netherlands recognize this feeling. Earning 1,000 euros a year is easy.
Do this once x 1,000.
That's making a million a year. This is hard for many people to believe. It's a whole different way of thinking, of hypnosis, of mindset, or even of belief system.
Maybe you don't think a million is necessary at all. Why all that money? You may find money irrelevant or you might want to, but you don't know how.
So there are many more ideas, beliefs and feelings behind this than 1,000 a month.
I also once heard the statement: The millionaire is in the way of the billionaire.
Again, you do x 1,000. Then you go to a billion a year. Many people have no idea about this or that it's just way beyond. But for that billionaire, a million a year gives the same feeling as the 1,000 gives for you.
It's exactly the same feeling and that fascinates me.
Different mindset or belief system. You may be thinking : "A million is not necessary for me at all. Why all that money? Money is irrelevant and not important to me.' - Maybe you think that... Or maybe you think, 'I'd like to, but I don't know how.'
That includes many more beliefs and feelings than people have about earning 1,000 euros a year. It's very simple.
And then one time I heard the statement: The millionaire is in the way of the billionaire.
And then I thought, Yeah, man. That's right.
Let me explain what I mean by that.
Imagine you do that million a year again x1000 and you go to earning a billion a year. Most people then drop out and they may not even have a clue about that. It feels like nonsense or unachievable. But for that billionaire, that million a year is the same feeling as you have at 1000 euros a year: Easy.
That's also 1,000x difference isn't it? That's exactly the same feeling. And that fascinates me.
For example, if you look at the owner of Alibaba, Jack Ma, he earns a trillion a year with it. Which in turn is 1,000 x a billion. He has exactly the same feeling about a billion that you have about 1,000 a year, and that intrigues and fascinates me. Not that I want it, but that it is possible. That this exists, regardless of whether this is good or bad.
It's dwindling, of course. 1 in 10,000 companies earn a million a year and of that another 1 in 10 earn a billion and in that way it's becoming fewer and fewer companies or people earning more and more.
Most self-employed people are between $0 and $50,000 per year. The bulk of self-employed people earn between 30,000 and 40,000 per year. These all look at each other a lot to see what they are doing, adopting each other's mindset and way of working. They copy each other's hypnosis.
While it is much more interesting to copy the thoughts of a billionaire.
I say monetarily on purpose because that's easy math.
Greater freedom, happiness and/or love
But you can use the same scale in freedom, happiness, love or relationships. Whatever really matters to you. To see if that times 1,000 can be done, that's a very interesting idea. Can you do that times 1,000?
I think so.
But that's a different way of thinking and doing. A whole different hypnosis.
In some cases, it can't be done, but maybe that's another limiting thought of mine. It intrigues me. It's like a game you can play at a certain level. The energy it takes is almost the same.
Of course it takes energy to accomplish anything, but making 100,000 euros a year may take as much energy as making a million a year, maybe even a billion a year.
I don't know about that, but it could be.
Because it's a different way of thinking and of living. So if that's the case there, with money for example, it's the same in relationships.
Relationship
A different way of relating to people gives greater results, to joy of life or relationship satisfaction. The first relationship you see is that of your father and mother, but that does not mean it is the best relationship of all time. As if there is not a better example in the world of a love relationship than that of your father and mother.
Looking at my own parents, I think yes, they do have a good relationship. But I do think it could be better, where are those people and how do they do it?
That's all hypnosis, the relationship hypnosis, and that's another way of looking at the world differently. You can already get a lot from books. For example, how do relationship books do it.
There are people in the world, or in your area, who do it really well, and you can learn from them. Then you look at exactly how they do it, what they think of each other, how they feel about each other and what they do to make it work. If you don't know how to do it yourself, you can learn that way.
Work
If you look at another facet, such as work, are you doing work that you really enjoy? Work that truly inspires you, where you are completely in your place? If not, are there people who do?
When I look at myself: I do work that I enjoy and have always done. That's very important to me. So for me, it's not a big deal. It's not in my world model to do what I don't like. That's not to say that there aren't some tasks that I have to do that I don't like, because there are. But you have those everywhere. That's just a task that comes with it, that you just do.
But the vast majority, maybe 95%, I really enjoy doing.
I totally don't understand why there are people doing work they don't enjoy.
It's not in my model, in my hypnosis.
I can understand when I hear the reasons, but for myself, it's really impossible.
It exists so it can
Again, this is something you can say you can do and you can do. Now if you come up with all kinds of reasons why it can't be done, then that's just bullshit. This is something you tell yourself. You might have done the same thing in elementary school, that you couldn't do something and that you weren't good enough.
If you're over 20 right now, you should stop there. There is always a way, it may not succeed immediately tomorrow. You may have to work hard for a year or 2, but it can be done.
Remember: it exists in the world so it can be done!
Maybe not exactly the same as that one person, but maybe close to what you want. More happiness, more money, more loving relationships, more financial freedom.
It starts with making it a priority. Then you get to work learning new skills from a book or from someone else. And then practice that. Until you make it your own. Until it is YOUR hypnosis. That you hypnotize yourself like that. And that's an ongoing process that I love.
It may help to think x1000. Or x100 or x10. Then what would be your feeling? Good luck with this thinking! Until next time.
Whatever you're thinking, you can control those thoughts. You can make a plan in your mind and then seriously make it a priority. You don't let this go, make it a priority or stop whining.
Whether something is fun is not necessarily up to the other person. That who makes it fun for me. I have to go and do that. I do.
This is true with fun work, with a fun relationship, and it's true with money as well. I make money. If I want to make more money, I need to find ways to make more money. Maybe I need to learn something, work more hours, charge more per hour.
I could whine too, but then the only thing I'll get better at is whining.
It's not always easy, but it is liberating to influence your circle of influence.
It often starts with setting a priority, then learning and then it becomes your hypnosis. It is an ongoing process.
What can help is doing something times 1,000. If this is too much for you, do it times 100 or times 10. Times 10 is often easier to think about.

From intention, to plan, to behavior
With the 1,000 times hypnosis, or 10 times hypnosis, you create a certain intention in yourself. That intention often creates a plan, which in turn can create a certain behavior. A study of entrepreneurship intentions and entrepreneurship behavior also showed this. Having a certain intention was super important to get the desired behavior[1].
Looking at your potential also keeps your mindset positive, which helps you achieve more, at least as an entrepreneur. This also helps you to be psychologically strong[2].
Do you want to help yourself or others make their intentions clearer, to more easily translate the 10 times hypnosis into a 100 times hypnosis? Then you can learn that at the training courses of the Hypnosis Institute Netherlands.
