Mason Ohio – July 8, 2007 – There’s always that one New Year’s resolution that comes back to haunt us year after year only to remain unfulfilled. How often have you made it through the holiday feasting to find a few mysterious extra pounds hovering around your midsection and resolved that “this year, I’m going to get into shape”?
And how often has that resolution fallen by the wayside once the fireworks die down and you get back into the momentum of your life?
We asked the experts at The Pillars of Excellence, Dr. John P. DeMann, to tell us the five most manageable ways to get in shape and stay in shape for the New Year.
In case you have not heard of The Pillars of Excellence and Dr. John P. DeMann, they work with many medical doctors and health care providers in the United States helping their patients rid excess body fat, increase energy and stay fit through custom health and fitness programs. The Pillars of Excellence and Dr. John P. DeMann work with countless individuals, companies and organizations helping them to stay in shape. Below is what the certified personal training staff told us on how to make it a fit and a healthy year:
1. Drink lots of water – Our bodies are made up of something like 70% water. Just a 1% drop in water intake can severely dehydrate you, limiting your performance in every aspect of your life.
2. Cut out fast food – Fast food just isn’t good for your body. Regardless of what the high-powered advertising agencies tell you. Fast food has too many chemicals, food additives, refined sugars, high fructose corn syrup, fried foods, and an overall lack of nutrition. If high calorie, non-nutrition is what you are after, fast food may be for you. The personal trainers advise against this bad habit.
3. Eat 5-7 small meals per day – Yes, you heard that right! Small frequent meals throughout the day not only levels out your blood sugar, decreasing the lows you may experience throughout the day, but eating sensibly, and often, will provide your muscles and body with the appropriate nutrition you need to get you through your entire day.
4. Exercise every day – Old research said you must exercise 30 minutes a day, but the latest experts suggest this just isn’t enough. What do you need to get in the best shape of your life? 60 minutes of vigorous exercise, daily.
5. Consult a personal trainer – Let’s face it; personal trainers know their stuff. They train, study, and devote themselves to being a better health and fitness expert every day. They work out every day, eat smart, and are right in the middle of several teams of experts. If you just booked one session to ensure you are on the right track, your body will thank you for it. Not to mention your significant other.
We also wanted to know more about Dr. DeMann. What we found out was mind blowing, this guy is serious and he is not slowing down! Here is what he had to say: I believe it is important to understand who is providing you information on whatever endeavor you are after so you may gain trust with the person and the organization giving you the information to succeed. Today we live in a dangerous world and each day we are asked to purchase or listen to some of the strangest crap. I know your time is limited so I like to keep as much information to a minimum, but in order to gain your trust I need to make sure you know who I am.
Much of my success I attribute to my mental reality, in other words how I interpret the world. I am an expert in Human Behavior, is that not what all this is about, how we behave, what actions we choose and what we decide to do in response to stimulus’s that present themselves to us daily. I have accumulated what I believe to be important criteria to meet the professional standards to become the top in my field. It is crucial to be able to make decisions and choices that support your values; in fact, I believe that to be fulfilled we must be able to make our actions flow in line with our values which then create peak experiences. My credentials are as follows:
My name is Dr. John P. DeMann. I specialize in performance enhancement in life, sports and business. I also do work for discrete organizations looking for ways to enhance personnel and give them the upper hand in sensitive areas. I coach and consult individuals and organizations in peak performance strategies and life enhancement technologies to give the user of the technologies the ability to be well versed so they can use what they learned in such a way that is unconscious and automatic.
Since a young man I have asked the same question over and over: “What is it that makes one perform circles around another, even if they are not as gifted.” In this quest I have come up with some extraordinary answers. The great thing is this, I am not just someone who decided to study this for no reason, I have lived it and I will provide you a list of my credentials to help you gain trust in me so you feel more comfortable hearing what I have to say. The following is a list of my credentials, but please know that credentials do not mean a thing, they need to be backed by action and for those who already know me I believe you will now be able to see I am for real and I am in this industry to do one thing and one thing only; Help as many people achieve the lifestyle and happiness they have always dreamed of and that they deserve!

The History and Reality of NLP
ATTENTION!
At the Pillars of Excellence, Dr. John P. DeMann, Founder and Creator, has created a mission that cultivated a culture in the organization where all who are a part of this extraordinary organization believe everyone in the world deserves to have the opportunity to receive the best training possible to enhance the quality, not only of their life, but the quality of other peoples life’s as well. In fact, Dr. DeMann has always made it his dream to one day bring expensive courses like NLP, Hypnosis and other high priced programs to the world where those who need it the most do not have to be sold into buying the course with techniques that bring guilt to those who really can’t afford it. You know the sales pitch we are talking about, it goes like this: “if you can’t find the money, you don’t want it bad enough!”
This tactic is one of the most powerful brainwashing and persuading tactics used in getting people to buy out of guilt and fear that they will be past up by the group if they don’t follow through. This is unfair and we believe it is unethical as hell so we are beginning a war on those who want to take advantage of those who are in the most need of powerful technologies that can change their life. We challenge anyone to say one negative comment about the program we are about to provide all who have always wanted to do the NLP courses, but have not had the funds to get this powerful technology. We even challenge the original creators themselves, why, because since NLP has been created due to current research it is no longer the same program it once was. In fact, it is much better, however this is not because the founders made it so, and it is because finally someone has come along and decided to do the right thing with this powerful technology. They have not only brought the technology up to date with current research, they have also made this astronomically expensive technology affordable for all. Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate the creators and their efforts; however Dr. DeMann believes that they really dropped the ball when they created it because they did absolutely nothing to try and get the technology to grow properly. They failed to operate this product with correct business planning and legal protection that should be used to get the technology to grow and change with the times.
How can this claim be made, first they never took the time to copyright it properly so it could be overseen and developed properly by professionals who are versed in research methods. We are really sorry this never happened, but we are not going to sit on our rumps and do nothing about it, we are taking responsibility for a mistake that should have been corrected a long time ago by its original creators. The truth is the mistakes have been corrected in a very big way by Dr. DeMann who has taken NLP and really overhauled it to make it more effective than it has ever been. He has removed material that has been shown in research to be ineffective and even harmful and added much detail to the technologies that have worked and made them work even better.
In the original creators lack of responsibility they never took the time to make the program respectable in the world of mental health care and personal and professional development. They never tried to get it into the business world where it can turn failing businesses into overnight successes if used appropriately. This is what happens when fortune and fame comes fast as it did for the original creators and no one is there to oversee the irresponsible possibilities that occur when large sums of money come flying in from all directions. The fame part of the problem makes it even worse where no one was there to keep the creators and their entourage grounded during the initial publicity of NLP. If they had done what responsible researchers would have done they would have processed what they created in a professional and proper way so those who used the technology would have had the opportunity to spread new knowledge and research to NLP, but instead they tried to close it off to the masses and keep it all to themselves and in the end relationships were ruined along with the loss of a great technology that had been given birth which if cultivated with the right attention would have created something that today Dr. DeMann has in his extensive research found. Let’s just say Dr. DeMann took off where they left off and has created a step by step process that allows all who take the training, even kids, pass without trouble and has literally created a paint by numbers approach so everyone can use the systems properly and efficiently. Also, Dr. DeMann and the Pillars of Excellence have decided to protect NLP even if they cannot copyright it. They have created a system that allows for all practitioners of this extraordinary technology a way to improve on it as more research comes available that is relevant to NLP and other like technologies that provide the public proper mental health care and personal and professional development.
With that in mind please except Dr. DeMann’s apology to have to bring to light the truth and possibly hurt the feelings of some really bright minds, but in the world of academia there is no room for this type of irresponsible behavior, no matter what the outcome of the neglect brings. In the spirit of knowledge and creation we still thank the creators for what they did do and that was give birth to something that had a great deal of potential. However, this is not the first time this has happened so we will express our greatest appreciation to those who created the initial version of NLP, but it is now time to give the world, all of the technology most are paying in excess of $30,000.00 or more and in pounds approximately £15,000.00. That’s right; you have seen it, the ridiculous price that was being charged using the “smugglers” approach in influence, propaganda and persuasion for only a portion of NLP. We want to remind everyone that in the beginning of NLP and its inception the creators wrote the first volume called: Neuro-Linguistic Programming Volume 1: The Study of Subjective experience with the intention of writing Volume 2, but due to their irresponsibility in research and development they were sidetracked by fame and fortune and failed to complete the second volume which left a subject full of incomplete work. In truth, we believe that NLP was never intended to be completed which gave it its “mystic” feeling where all who wanted the technology would have to go to the creators to learn the rest. In short, the law of scarcity was being used, probably unintentionally, to drive more and more people to learn NLP from the “so called experts.” The problem is no one has ever really completed the project until now.
Today, due to the lack of completion, we now have loads of self proclaimed experts who sell the material at astronomical prices by using the same approach the founders used in the beginning. Since there has been no real academic research behind NLP in its entirety the so called experts can claim whatever they desire which usually falls into the cult like activities that hypnotize people into believing the answers lay in the hands of the few gurus who remain.
Dr. DeMann and the Pillars of Excellence has made it their mission to stop this madness and bring to you, with no sales gimmicks, a way to earn your certifications with pride and dignity where we have completed the research and are proud to say we are continuing the research to make NLP better every day in ways that reflect true academic research method. With us you will not be given myth or theory, you will be given material that has been proven effective and that has been enhanced every time new research is found. In short, we believe that NLP and other personal development technologies must withstand academic scrutiny in order to be given ethically to the public so they can experience workable solutions that have been tested rigorously and proven effective.
The truth is that people were charging the outrageous amounts because people were willing to pay, but this is only one of the reasons people paid that amount. In a moment I will provide you with other reasons people would pay what most could not afford. However, we need to point out that most of the NLP trainers, not all, were using unethical marketing techniques that made one believe they had to have it no matter what the price was. In fact, many of these smugglers would say to the unsuspecting victim; “if you can’t find the money, you must not want it bad enough!” This is a typical guilt trip avenue many sales people use in order to con their victims into purchasing something not worth the price being asked. They would also use the typical approach that would leave the victim needing the next level of training in order to feel like they could use NLP effectively, creating an even more uncontrollable desire to purchase that next level. Some instructors/smugglers would even use the approach that they had the remaining answer to NLP. They did this by using mystical names for their products that created an even more driving need to want to know if it was the answer to all their problems. Of course it helps when the sales force uses psychological techniques that borderline unethical brainwashing technologies that back in the states have laws protecting its citizens from the smuggler who uses this type of influence in unethical ways. In fact, in the states if you think you have been taken advantage of you have a right to return the product no matter what with no questions asked within 3 days of the purchase?
So without any further explanation it is time to provide you with a special that you will not want to miss. We have decided to bring to an end the craziness of the “NLP rip off” that is now in full swing in the UK and other parts of the world. How would you like to have, no matter your financial situation or other predicaments, the opportunity to get all the NLP Certifications and other amazing tools at extraordinary prices and workable time structures without having to ask your employer for the time off or if you own your own business have the ability to not miss work? We have even heard of people having to quit their jobs so they could attend one of the NLP programs because the NLP organization put themselves in front of the client. Now there will be no reason to take time off, quit your job or go broke getting proper certification! Also how would you like to have an extraordinary support structure that when you are done you will not just be certified by Dr. DeMann and the Pillars of Excellence, but by 4 major certification boards, listed below, where you will be recognized as a leading expert in the field of personal and professional development. You are also getting the only NLP training that has been fully accredited and approved to provide continuing education credit. Our NLP training is CEU accredited!!!
We have created the training program so there are two options available for you to choose from; one is done during the afternoon from 1:00pm to 5:00pm and then on two consecutive weekends from 9:00am to 6pm. The other option is provided at night from 6:00pm to 10:00pm and then on two consecutive weekends from 9:00am to 6:00pm. We have also done this so that each group graduates on the same day so everyone can connect to create their own practice groups and work on their skills. You will also receive the only NLP after care program that raises a person’s ability to use the subject learned 667% more effectively than the typical NLP training organization. Now there are no excuses, no reasons to take work off or if you want instead of asking for a full week off you can work in the morning. Either way you are covered. We also have built into the system a way to make up days so if for any reason you have to miss a day or two you can make them up immediately and graduate with your class.
We also have pride in our teaching ability on the fact that not one person has ever failed our courses. Why? Many organizations pride themselves on their failure rate, we believe if a student should ever fail a course we teach it is the teacher’s responsibility and failure to reach that student and this is why we have the top NLP instructors in the world. The reason people pass our training is because it reflects on our instructors, Dr. John P. DeMann has trained all of them personally so he has created a consistent program of teaching where the instructor MUST use training lesson plans that are to be followed to the “T”. Dr. DeMann is by far the best in the industry and we say this with pride as he is gaining the reputation of being the one who is taking a billion dollar training industry that has really failed and has begun turning it around using his special technology of teaching so all training can be done with greater success rates.
Dr. DeMann has more degrees then a thermometer, but as we all know, that does not tell us a thing unless he has the ability to use what he has learned and in this case teach it effectively to others so they too can use it effectively. This he has proven, having yet to fail a student, Dr. DeMann has a 100% success rate, But we do want to say that anyone who rejects higher education and says it is not really needed, is only trying to cover up their own lack of education. We say that higher education cannot hurt. In fact, Dr. DeMann has always prided his work on research and one thing is for sure, he does not allow any information to pass on to his customers unless the information has been truly and successfully shown to work in studies approved by university standards. In short, you are going to be given research backed material that you can back up when you teach it; which is the one part that brings credibility to any topic of study. You can also be proud when you complete the courses because we hold the highest level of standards in the industry.
To show you how important this is, the Pillars of Excellence and Dr. DeMann believes money back guarantees are really a minimum in terms of what a client should get in receiving compensation for their efforts when they feel they have not received what was promised. We believe time is also important so what we will do for you is not only provide you a full refund if you are dissatisfied with the program, in any way, we will also remit your salary you would have made if you were at work instead. This also holds for those who attend the night training, for example even if they work during the day and have not missed any work you will get a refund. Why would we do something so generous, because at the Pillars of Excellence YOU WILL LEARN THE MATERIAL TO A LEVEL THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO SUCCEED! We also know that people who get quality training will never jeopardize the opportunity to receive training from that company or organization in the future if they are satisfied the first time. This is the best guarantee in the personal and professional development industries by far!
The success rate of our students is 100% in 23 years of business! Does this mean we are perfect? No, in fact we have had complaints, but because we are doing this for the right reasons we always have the solution to fix any problem. Why? Because we use the technology that we teach! Failure is not failure unless you do nothing about it. Failure is truly feedback and will allow you to become the best you can be if you put to use the natural principles in the courses designed by Dr. DeMann. Below are the program dates for the NLP Practitioner, Master Practitioner and Teach the Teacher programs we are offering.
On August 3 thru August 5: NLP Practitioner Certification $999.00 or in pounds approximately £497.00 depending on the exchange rate of the day.
On August 6 thru August 9: NLP Master Practitioner Certification $1,499.00 or in pounds approximately £746.00 depending on the exchange rate of the day.
On August 10 thru August 12: NLP Teach the Teacher for $999.00 or in pounds approximately £497.00 depending on the exchange rate of the day.
We are also offering the unprecedented offer of a lifetime for NLP training:
On August 3 thru August 12 we are providing the “NLP TOTAL PACKAGE” where you receive all the NLP training Certification; NLP Practitioner Certification, NLP Master Practitioner Certification, NLP Train the Trainer Certification for ONLY $2,500.00 or in pounds approximately £1,243.00 depending on the exchange rate of the day.
You might be asking, “ Why is this such a good deal, there must be something to this that I am not seeing or that they are going to spring on me at the last minute. Let us tell you right now, this is no gimmick and it is our policy at the Pillars of Excellence training that there is to be no selling tactics during training and we take this serious. We believe if training is good it will sell itself by word of mouth. Now obviously you are receiving this advertisement, but how else do we get the word out. The idea is that when you pay for a class with the Pillars of Excellence we believe every minute of that class is yours and if we spend anytime selling you other products or if we leave you needing more to complete the job, like so many of the organizations do, we are not doing our job.
As you can see we are not afraid of being up front and honest about the process of the smugglers in this business and we will always do our best to inform you of their unethical tactics. We commit to give you quality training so you can apply what you receive in our courses to improve the quality of your life and the lives of those around you!

Let’s send the message to anyone who thinks they can come to the UK or any part of the world and take advantage of anyone in need or those just wanting to live a more productive and fulfilling life.

Exercise of The Day: Building Self-Regard
Today and for the next several days I will be working on creating a program for developing Self-Regard. Emotional Intelligence is an important part of who we are, in fact, research shows that most companies are looking for those who have a high level of emotional intelligence. The purpose for this exercise is to develop your recognition of the process in building your own self-regard. When you complete the following exercise you will begin to create an internal dialog of self exploration which will, over time,build self-regard.
With each exercise I will also try to show how emotional intelligence is being used in different areas of life. Today I want to show you how it is used in the hiring process at one of the most successful airlines in the world. To protect the airlines process I will not mention who it is, but just try to see why they employ the process explained and see how you can see how it can influence your life in a positive way.
The airline I am speaking of believes the power of emotional intelligence so much one of their first job interview activities is one that clears out most of the applicants in one swoop. The exercise has the applicants give a talk for 2 minutes about themselves. During the talk you would think that the Human Resource employees conducting the interview would be listening to the speeches, but instead they are watching the individuals watching the speakers.
The reason for this is to determine who is paying attention and who is showing positive regard for the speaker. The look that they are seeking is one that is supportive as this would indicate that the person wants the other to succeed. This requires great self-regard which is very important in having a high level of emotional intelligence. To develop self regard answer the following questions. Again this is the first of three exercises that we will be doing to help you develop self-regard:
1. Describe something you would like to accomplish that would make you feel really good about yourself?
2. What would you have to think of yourself to accomplish your goal?
3. What emotions/feelings would you have to change to achieve the above goal?
4. How will you have to act to make the goal above come true?
5. Ask yourself; what has kept me from thinking, feeling, and acting in these ways up to this point in my life?
Have fun, but be serious when answering the above questions. It is best to take your time and read the questions first then after thinking about them and letting your mind chew on them for a bit go ahead and answer them. Do not worry about perfection, answer the questions to the best of your knowledge. If you are having trouble answering any of them just give yourself more time and allow your thoughts to flow. Relax and the answers will eventually come, but make sure you relax.
One more thing, as I always say with all programs I deliver, it is important to not just answer the questions, you need to act on them. Knowledge is only potential power, knowledge put to use is power. Put to use the answers to the questions and you will find your self-regard growing day by day.

Quantum Physics: Is It The True Nature of Success?
Quantum Physics: Is It The True Nature of Success?
Journal of Human Potential
JHP: Volume 1 Issue 11
By: John P. DeMann, Ph.D.
In this Journal Article for the Journal of Human Potential I am going to look into the laws of Quantum Success. Now, please understand that Quantum Physics in the area of personal and professional development have some questions to be answered before we can take It as fact, but I think we can all agree that our conscious and unconscious mind have great power. Our unconscious mind has extraordinary power over our lives and the fact remains that if we can use the power of the conscious and unconscious minds we can do extraordinary things. I think we can all agree that to control our unconscious mind we need to use our conscious mind to change the triggers that have been created during our lifetime of experiences.
Becoming involved consciously in your personal growth is what we really want and at the Pillars of Excellence it is the foundation of our approach. No one ever won a battle unconsciously, Caesar never took victory from his opponents from his unconscious mind nor did he become the leader of Rome. The same is true for Alexander the Great. He took the world knowingly with a conscious plan. Knowing this let us now show you how to take your strengths with you on your journey and use them consciously and pounce on every opportunity to become the person you want to become. Anyone who has experienced great success first created that success in their mind before any action was taken. But notice that once they created what it was they wanted action was the main part that made them succeed. I cannot stress this enough, take action after you create what you want!
In Quantum Success we have all seen the idea of using a dream board as a way to get the life we are seeking, but I am a little skeptical of this. I am not saying don’t do it I am only saying I think it may be a way for humans to NOT think about what they want. You see we use task lists to let go of what it is we need to do and I believe we often use dream boards the same way. They allow us to put off the outcome we seek. Thinking is not an easy task, so if I ask a client to think about their perfect day every day for one week the average number of days they tell me they get the exercise in is 3. This means it is hard to do many things consistently like it is when we exercise physically as an example.
Let’s look at some of the laws that exist in the quantum world and personal growth/development. First however please know that when I say personal growth I am also speaking of professional growth as well. They all go hand in hand and the way I see it if you are improving the quality of your life then you must be improving your professional life as well. Now on with the important laws that we must know if we truly want to use the quantum world in our life to live the life we want to live.
The first law of success is the Law of Manifestation: This law demonstrates how something comes into being. It is really that part of creation that says creation is started in the mind first as Robert collier noted when he said: “The primal cause is mind. Everything must start with an idea. Every event, every condition, everything is first an idea in the mind.” Wow, that to me is so basic that I think sometimes we forget that our minds are the starting point of all creation. Look around you today and see what the mind has done. It has created beautiful homes, buildings, statues, paintings and it has also created extraordinary businesses, computers, technologies that make our life much more simple and safe. There are many more examples, but I think you get the point.
The second law is the Law of Magnetism: This law states that we attract what we put out. This is seen in emotions when we are affected by other people’s emotions or they are affected by ours. What happens when we are around someone who is always complaining about the work they do? It makes you start to focus on all the bad that you experience at work. We also see this when we are around more positive people they begin to rub off on us as we do on them. I like what Ernest Holmes said: “Every person is surrounded by a thought atmosphere and through this power we are either attracting or repelling. Like attracts like and we attract just what we are in mind.” Another example is the book As a Man Thinketh by James Allen. He says, “We need to tend the garden of our mind.” The point is that if we are not aware of our thoughts, as many of us are not, we allow the weeds of others thinking to trap us into their way of thinking which is often negative. But, if we tend to the thoughts of our minds we will attract others if the thoughts we think are attractive. Our thinking can truly act as a magnet so if we consciously think attractive thoughts we will attract attractive thinking people.
The next law is the Law of Pure Desire: When we are motivated by pure intention we can be assured of beneficial outcomes. The tip of the tongue phenomenon says that we know what it is we want to say, but we just cannot get it out because we are not able to remember what it is we want to remember. We see this when we are trying to remember a name along with a group. It becomes a competition so we become stressed and when that happens all the blood leaves the brain and goes to the limbs and organs to fight the stress and we cannot think. Then several hours later we all of the sudden remember the name. This happens even if we are not thinking about it because when we ask our mind a question it remembers the question. The reason we remember the name is because we become relaxed, we usually remember the name as we are lying in bed or watching TV or doing something that is relaxing that has allowed the brain to receive blood to be able to think. The point is that when we are relaxed and thinking about pure thoughts we receive pure answers. If we are relaxed and we are thinking about what we want in life we will receive an answer that is of pure desire.
The forth law is the Law of Paradoxical Intent: Desperation pushes away that which one is trying to get. Desperation is negative energy and that negative energy is what creates repulsion. This is why it is called the paradoxical intent, you want something, but because the desire is so intense it becomes a desperate need and in that desperation people will throw off a negative energy that gives others the feeling that something about the person is wrong. In other words the desperation gives you the opposite. This is one of the reasons money is often so elusive. We all want to be rich, to have a life that is filled with luxuries and we often get stuck thinking about having all that stuff and it gets us desperate for having. The truth is wanting to be rich never works, if you ever want to have a lot or an abundance of anything the intent to have it must come from a true desire to help others or give others a better life. Anyone who says their intent is to be rich never seems to ever get rich, but those who say they are compelled to help others or create things that help others in certain ways are usually the ones who receive abundance.
The fifth law is the Law of Harmony: This law states that we must be in balance. It really is very simple to understand, but for many it is very hard to get. The Pillars of Excellence was created for the purpose of creating harmony in your life. We are all made of the same ingredients, in other words we all have a spiritual nature, physical nature and mental nature. We are also emotional and social beings who want to establish connection with those around themselves and with their environment. We as humans need to know we are giving back in some way so we also have a service need and finally we are all in need of leading. You see this with people wanting to be able to have the ability to make their own choices. The short of it is to be successful in life we must have success in all areas, not just one or two. For example; if you had all the money you could ever spend, but you were so unhealthy you could not go and experience life physically you would not experience life to its fullest. The point here is to get into living a full life that focuses on caring for all parts of life not just those parts that look appealing, sometimes we need to do those things that are not as fun as other activities, but to experience those great desires we must be fit in the not so great parts of life.
The next law is The Law of Right Action: This law says that if we want to experience life in ways that supports value, honor, and dignity we must act in ways that support value, honor and dignity. Here is where I think we find ourselves in terms of who we really are. This is also one of the most difficult areas of life that most people have to deal with. Looking at this from the Law of Harmony we can say that doing activities that are good for us, others and the environment creates harmony, but the only way that this can happen is in right action. We must do right if we want good to come to us. The Law of Right Action is best applied looking at Seligman’s 24 character strengths and virtues. I speak of these in my book and in Soteria. For the sake of understanding this law, just understand that if we ever want to live life in a way that supports happiness we must make sure we keep a watchful eye on what we think and do and make sure that our thoughts and actions are in line with natural law and principle.
The final law we will seek to understand is the Law of Expanding Influence: Throughout history those who have succeeded are the ones that could influence others and themselves. The sad truth is that many do not understand the influence they do have in the world. We all have the ability to influence the world in big ways, but it is only those who are bold enough to take a stab at influencing themselves and others that are the ones who will make a difference in the world. Look at the leaders of the world; are they not able to use the power of influence to get others to follow? Natural law says that inside each of us there are built in laws that make us get along; one of these laws is the law of reciprocation. Here if we are given something or someone helps another in some way they get a feeling, a driving desire or force to reciprocate the favor. This is one of the most powerful laws of human nature. The Pillars of Excellence: Six Laws of Influence teaches you how to use the 6 natural laws of influence to enhance the quality of your life and the life of others. When you understand how to influence others and the environment you begin to expand the influence you have in life. In other words the more you begin to consciously influence your own world the more influence you have and the more power you create in your own life. When you use influence properly you also begin to expand the number of people you influence and that means you become a driving force in nature where you can really make a difference in the world.
Understanding the above laws and implementing them can have extraordinary effects on you and your environment. Remember what I said above and what I say in all my programs; if you learn anything, but you fail to use what you learn it is as if you never learned the information in the first place. To not use what you learn is one of the biggest problems people have in life. We love comfort and change does not feel comfortable. I always believe that the level of discomfort you are willing to experience in life is directly proportionate to the level of success you will ever experience as well. In short, the more discomfort you can handle the more success you will experience. Use what you learn and life will give you rewards beyond your wildest dreams. Life is supposed to be adventurous, but no one ever said life was going to be easy. The day I decided to use everything I learned was the day I felt very uncomfortable, but it was also the day that life began rewarding me with the fruits that are waiting for all of us who try new things. Let me know how these 7 Laws work for you and always remember that life is supposed to be an adventure so go out and be a leader of life and experience the fruits that effort provides!

Journal of Human Potential
JHP: Volume 1 Issue 11
By: John P. DeMann, Ph.D.
In this Journal Article for the Journal of Human Potential I am going to look into the laws of Quantum Success. Now, please understand that Quantum Physics in the area of personal and professional development have some questions to be answered before we can take It as fact, but I think we can all agree that our conscious and unconscious mind have great power. Our unconscious mind has extraordinary power over our lives and the fact remains that if we can use the power of the conscious and unconscious minds we can do extraordinary things. I think we can all agree that to control our unconscious mind we need to use our conscious mind to change the triggers that have been created during our lifetime of experiences.
Becoming involved consciously in your personal growth is what we really want and at the Pillars of Excellence it is the foundation of our approach. No one ever won a battle unconsciously, Caesar never took victory from his opponents from his unconscious mind nor did he become the leader of Rome. The same is true for Alexander the Great. He took the world knowingly with a conscious plan. Knowing this let us now show you how to take your strengths with you on your journey and use them consciously and pounce on every opportunity to become the person you want to become. Anyone who has experienced great success first created that success in their mind before any action was taken. But notice that once they created what it was they wanted action was the main part that made them succeed. I cannot stress this enough, take action after you create what you want!
In Quantum Success we have all seen the idea of using a dream board as a way to get the life we are seeking, but I am a little skeptical of this. I am not saying don’t do it I am only saying I think it may be a way for humans to NOT think about what they want. You see we use task lists to let go of what it is we need to do and I believe we often use dream boards the same way. They allow us to put off the outcome we seek. Thinking is not an easy task, so if I ask a client to think about their perfect day every day for one week the average number of days they tell me they get the exercise in is 3. This means it is hard to do many things consistently like it is when we exercise physically as an example.
Let’s look at some of the laws that exist in the quantum world and personal growth/development. First however please know that when I say personal growth I am also speaking of professional growth as well. They all go hand in hand and the way I see it if you are improving the quality of your life then you must be improving your professional life as well. Now on with the important laws that we must know if we truly want to use the quantum world in our life to live the life we want to live.
The first law of success is the Law of Manifestation: This law demonstrates how something comes into being. It is really that part of creation that says creation is started in the mind first as Robert collier noted when he said: “The primal cause is mind. Everything must start with an idea. Every event, every condition, everything is first an idea in the mind.” Wow, that to me is so basic that I think sometimes we forget that our minds are the starting point of all creation. Look around you today and see what the mind has done. It has created beautiful homes, buildings, statues, paintings and it has also created extraordinary businesses, computers, technologies that make our life much more simple and safe. There are many more examples, but I think you get the point.
The second law is the Law of Magnetism: This law states that we attract what we put out. This is seen in emotions when we are affected by other people’s emotions or they are affected by ours. What happens when we are around someone who is always complaining about the work they do? It makes you start to focus on all the bad that you experience at work. We also see this when we are around more positive people they begin to rub off on us as we do on them.

Like attracts like and we attract just what we are in mind.” Another example is the book As a Man Thinketh by James Allen.

But, if we tend to the thoughts of our minds we will attract others if the thoughts we think are attractive. Our thinking can truly act as a magnet so if we consciously think attractive thoughts we will attract attractive thinking people.
The next law is the Law of Pure Desire: When we are motivated by pure intention we can be assured of beneficial outcomes.

If you have a hard time doing this or visualizing start with something very simple and with practice it will get easier.
Also if you have any questions please feel free to ask them on the comments section of the blog. If you have something personal to ask go ahead and e mail me at john@7poe.com or call at 513-336-7172.
I like to make my exercises easy so try not to make this more then it really is. Just see what it is you want. Feel what it would feel like, smell what it would smell like, taste it as well and if you can get sound into the image do that as well. The more senses you can ad to the image the more effective it will be.
Have a great day and may your days be filled with success and happiness.

Exercise of The Day
Today I am going to give you a challenge. Many of you say every day: I gotta do this or I gotta do that! The point is, The got to have gotta go! I call this a toleration and I have to admit I hear this daily from new clients who have no idea what is about to hit them. I always say, you don't gotta do anything!
Its your life so do what you want to do. The problem is that people who are saying I gotta are people who have lost control of their life. They have gotten so far behind that, gotta, is truly something that is a reality. In fact, they have literally turned their life into slavery because they have provided others the ability to use them for their own growth. It turns out to be a bit of a one way street.
The only "have to" you have to do are the promises you have made, like financial obligations, or a promise to do something, which you probably did not want to do in the first place, but because you could not say no you said yes, you were too scared to say no.
Learn to say no, learn to choose your own actions by becoming independent. How? Start becoming a person who takes full responsibility and in a short period of time you will be on your way to controlling your own environment or at least most of it. The more control you take in your world the more power you will own to run your environment. It really is that simple.
Start saying no to projects that do not meet your strengths and yes to those that can showcase your talents. Have fun with this because you will get great results very fast. Have a great day and I will speak with you soon.
By the way, I am looking forward to seeing you on June 30, 2007 at the RAF in London. You can get tickets at the following link:http://www.7poe.com/Products-Seminars.aspx?cid=seminars.
I am really excited about this event because the seminar that you will be receiving that day is the first of a series of seminars that can dramatically improve the quality of your life and provide you real tools that can be used easily and more effectively then NLP, Hypnosis and the like.
With this seminar you will also receive 12 free coaching sessions, a 237 page manual, Soteria: The Audio for a ridiculously low price and finally the ability to create a mastermind alliance that will help shape your destiny. After all of our seminars we use a secret technology that improves learning and use by 667% so you will be very happy with the results.
Have a productive and balanced day and please respond to the posts, that is what they are for.
God Speed my friends,
