14:30 – On NLP: It’s been taught badly because it’s been caught up in the personal development, coaching, everyone-get-rich movement.
15:45 – The NLP toolset: It’s the language of the mind including 40 different tools including belief decoding and reprogramming.
18:30 – NLP gets more and more subtle and covert; like quantum linguistics and covert influence, but even basics like “anchoring” can be massively helpful.
20:00 – Once a person is cleaned of the patterns and limiting beliefs that hold them back, they can be reprogrammed into who they want to be.
22:20 – A phobia is a super-deep anchor that was likely anchored in childhood; the emotional intensity gets stuck inside of the body and leads to later emotional responses.
25:00 – If you feel burnt out, you are not being you and not living within your Unique Code.
26:45 – Only 20% people need clear goals, the rest are happy with a “fuzzy vision” and have a theme instead of clear-cut goals, and that’s perfect, too.

31:30 – Find your flow by learning and embracing your Unique Code; then give yourself permission to operate within your code.

34:45 – You find your hinging points by the absence of them and there are 3 categories of hinging points.
34:50 – Basic: Eating, sleeping, family support, or financial security.
39:00 – External: Support team, other people’s goals, other people’s or your own vision, looking good.
40:00 – Weird and wonderful hinges: Pressure, wanting to outdo others
38:00 – Some people have pressure as a hinging point; they need pressure to fire them up.
41:00 – You don’t need hinges from all categories; some people have all their hinges in one category.
42:00 – Respect and make your hinging points sacred because when they work your whole life works.
43:40 – You may not like your hinging points, just make them sacred; Peter’s hinges are pressure and helping people, but he’s had to set some boundaries.
48:40 – Stop judging yourself for your hinges; instead, find ways to healthily and effectively work with them.
49:15 – Foggy vision people: Write out the qualities you want in your life then write a list of who or what you need to be to live that life. Then, know your hinges (your how). That’s your activation code.
