Hi there,

I've recently completed my Practitioners training and it has fast become a huge passion of mine and a definite career change.

My question and my concern is how would you bridge the gap between completing the prac course and becoming an established NLP practitioner? I've enrolled in a few practice groups and I've been doing a lot of research, watching videos & reading books as well as practicing on friends. I'm doing the master prac in september but I'd really like to establish myself in some way before that. I'm a little terrified how to go about it though.

Any guidance, advice/tips or success stories from anyone who has been in my shoes would really help build my confidence in making the leap!

Thanking you all in advance for the great advice!

Talk to all your friends and family, ask them if they want some cheap or free re-education/therapy and practice on them.

Do not set the bar at a one session cure or even mention that this is possible. Do not be tempted to rise to the challenge until you are much more experienced, you will know when this is.

Everytime you have a success ask them if they know of anyone else who they could refer to you. Follow up with a call to see how they are getting on and remind them about referrals.

Everytime you have a failure analyse it and see what you learnt and how you would do it differently. Again follow up with the person as well and book them in for a further session. When they are a success ask for referrals.

In the sessions practice everything that you learnt in the Prac training.
