All the best for the marathon, Adam. Given the fact that the Chancellor is currently running up and down the corridors of No 11 Downing Street shouting: “We’re doomed! What on earth is the plan?”, I doubt anyone can “recession proof” anything, even a career. I’m having flashbacks to the 1990’s and it really is odd that a man of a mere 27 years should be having flashbacks so early in his life. But seriously, I keep expecting Norman Lamont to be on the news telling us all how it’s going to get better real soon.

I still meet people who think that hypnosis is about power and taking control of someone/someone’s mind. I’ve done my best and I’ve even gone into a trance and shown them that I can decide when I wake up from the trance but the “popular stereotype” still has a power. I’ve been “using” hypnosis for 12 years now and my Mum still tells me to “be careful” when I listen to a CD, download or…showing my age here, a tape.

The two things that will hinder anyone’s development as a hypnotherapist are 1) The popular stereotype of what a hypnotherapist is and 2) The issue of quality. Like I said, I’ve been using hypnosis products for 12 years now. And I’ve heard some awful hypnosis recordings (usually bought off Ebay) that sound as if they were recorded in a windtunnel using a device familiar to Edison. You have to establish a reputation and prove that you’re value for money.

I have a confession: You’re not the only person I buy hypnosis products from, Adam. But there is a reason I come back time after time and a reason why my iPod is currently jammed packed with your recordings. That reason is quality. You’re value for money. It’s also fantastic that you can get the free relaxation download off your website and see what your recordings are like for free. That’s a great piece of marketing and a big reason why people come back and purchase your titles.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a “recession proof career” but perhaps there is.

My current venture: http://www.joinmartin.wordpress.com is going really well with over 10000 people in UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, India, Italy, Ireland, France, Dubai, Spain and many other countries visiting the blog.

My new venture is coming very soon: Beyond The Question. This new venture will also include a great new self/personal development website/blog called Brand New You which will be an exciting online adventure. And yes, that was a plug. I work in the media and PR sector. These things happen all the time.

Now you weren’t christened ‘Therapist’ were you?? Come on…

I am delighted to be running London yet again and it is a fabulous thing to do any marathon in my opinion.

Men’s Health magazine? I love it! can’t be without it…

Congrats on running the marathon- I have always thought about doing that but never really known how to get started. You have inspired me to do more than just think about it and make that dream a reality. As far as the Men’s Health magazine goes, I love to read my husband’s copies from cover to cover maybe more than he does. They always have so much positive and interesting information in them that they are too good to let pass by. Great that they celebrated your career choices- maybe I will go back to school now! 🙂
