What We Discussed on The OptYOUmize Podcast
Paul’s Unique Career Journey
Paul shared his unconventional path to hypnotherapy, beginning with a decade of hitchhiking and seasonal work across Europe. After spending 25 years in the corporate world, a cycling accident led him to reevaluate his life, quit his job, and explore new career options. He eventually discovered his passion for hypnotherapy through a chance encounter with a personal trainer.
Discovering Hypnotherapy as a Career
Paul remembers the first time he witnessed the transformative power of hypnotherapy was when he helped a woman overcome her fear of snakes. This moment inspired him to pursue hypnotherapy professionally, throwing himself into extensive training and learning to develop his skills.
The Role of Hypnotherapy in Entrepreneurship
Hypnotherapy can address the many challenges faced by entrepreneurs. Things such as perfectionism, overwhelm, and procrastination. Mindset and confidence is important when navigating the pressures of entrepreneurship.
Beyond Hypnotherapy: Combining Coaching for Greater Impact
While hypnotherapy effectively resolves specific issues, integrating coaching provides a more holistic approach. By addressing underlying beliefs and behaviours, people can achieve sustainable growth in both their personal and professional lives.
Lessons in Reinvention and Growth
Adaptability is a valuable skill, along with continuous learning, and taking those leaps of faith to pursue a more fulfilling life.
About Brett Ingram
My name is Brett Ingram–a normal guy, husband and dad–who wanted a better life with more freedom and control of my time…so I started a business with no experience, no money, and no mentors or connections while working full time and going to graduate school at night and on weekends. Since 2007 I’ve been my own boss and made my own rules…
…and I’ve worked hard through struggles and triumphs to become a top 1% vendor and top 1% affiliate on 2 platforms, my digital products have been awarded best sellers over 50 times, I’ve generated $100,000 in sales in a single day, and I’ve been featured in a NY Times Best-selling author’s book.
I’ve learned a lot of lessons about business and life along the way…lessons I wish someone would have shared with me back then so I could have avoided the stress, frustration, and loneliness of doing it all on my own. I want to be that someone for you.
