Day 1 ended with a surprise - a pleasant one

Day 1 ended with a really nice surprise - it was almost like deja vu.

Several years ago, when I was training to become an NLP Business Master Practitioner our teacher asked us a question after one of the lessons that's very much like the questions at the end of day 1 in Simpleology 101.

After one of the lessons our teacher asked us a question that took us all by surprise - and I'm sure that everyone in our class remembers this question vividly - even after so many years.

It was a question that totally silenced the room.

That question alone changed my whole approach to learning new stuff - it really was that pivotal.

Here's what he said.

"So, what have you learned today?"

For most people this was rather easy to answer, but then came his follow-up questions.

He said:

"And what's the importance of this?"

And the classroom became completely silent.

And he continued:

"And how are you going to make sure that you are going to use this to improve your life right now?"

And you could almost hear 16 brains going into overdrive all at the same time.

I mean, in a usual classromm setting, your teacher will be more than satisfied if nobody has any questions.

But not this teacher - he wanted to make sure that we thought about the implications of what we've learned - and forced us to think about ways that we could put the information to good use - right away.

The questions put us all into a forward looking creativity mode.

And Mark Joyner does the same in Simpleology 101.

I've browsed through the rest of the days in the course material - and they all have these eye-opening and action-focused questions.

I've only been through Day 1 and Day 2 of the course, and I can already tell now, that this is a course that I'll be recommending to anyone interested in goal setting.
