Hi,

I'm giving some serious thought to setting up a small but hopefully growing and profitable NLP training business in 2014. It's just something I'm exploring - just wondering if there's anyone on this site that might be interested in joining me in some way - I plan on investing relatively small amounts of money intitially but this can increase as, hopefully, the business does.

I'd hope to combine training courses at some location with ONLINE courses sent out to people: that's where the real money due to numbers could come in.

I know for a fact that this business model works the only issue is getting it running ad getting the right human resources.

Please free to put forward any suggestions/comments.

I'm in. Lets rinse people for money.

I dunno why everyones getting on his back. NLP is a perfectly legitimate practice.

He isnt pedalling.

I wanna know ur qualifications

Im friends with Uber haha I wanna go into business too.

Is not that NLP doesn't have any practical benefits, it's that the whole training industry is a bit unethical in my opinion. There is a a whole pyramid selling vibe to it and the people it attracts are usually quite vulnerable and looking for a silver bullet cure all, it's remarkable like the PUA training in that sense.

That's not to say it couldn't be done right I s'ppose but having just a NLP practitioner/master practitioner certificate isn't enough, the visualisations, the little slight of mouth techniques and reframes have to be used with genuine empathetic counselling as well for it to be truly effective.

Unless you want to just teach how to give a better presentation or give sales ppl a hard on letting them think they havr Jedi powers, then sound :-D

He called it modelling. Taking somethin already in use and transfering it to ur skill set...

also known as Stealing or plagiarism. NLP is basically suggestion and hypnosis with loads of shit stuck in the middle to make it cult like

Guys - first of all THANKS for your responses. OK, it's difficult to get everything across on this site but I'm going to be FRANK. First, I basically agree with Framejacker etc about how there's an unethical element to it and how it's all BULLSHIT...ok so this is the part which makes me seem really bad. Right, erm, basically 1. I CURRENTLY have no specific qualifications in this - that's why I mentioned wanting human resources!!; 2. My interest has been created because I have a friend - a blonde bimbo who is making a KILLING out of this: she teaches bullshit classes but where the money is really POURING in is via online sales of materials and some kind of so called qualifications...I'm not gonna mention her site/location etc apart from its in the North West. Apparently she's even using elance.com to get stuff written and then she just markets it. Frankly, I'm a lot smarter and more capabale than her and I figure why should she be making all the money lol....I'm sorry but frankly I want some of it! She's got nearly £500k liquid in the bank now - although she's been working on it with a partner for the past 10 years, but its the online courses where she's gaining a massive passive income now. So, I'm sorry guys but I wanna be better off financially! I'm starting to see colleagues building up their businesses and having fun and making money and frankly I'm considering copying them and getting in on the act!! Ok, so I await your criticisms, jokes, and condemnations! If anyone has other business ideas, especially ones which are fun, then feel free to give me a shout - I can invest up to £2k/month for the first year or borrow up to £200k initially.

Im game for anythin thats money making

This is why I love Jaz. Will you marry me.
