The Goal is to Help to Make Your Mentalism Career Better

Sometimes mentalists (and even magicians) get sad.

I feel for you. I am frequently there too. But to pull myself out of this place, thank goodness I figured out the “Solve Aim Solution.”

The funny and ironic thing is that writing something like this, is a part of my own personal Solve Aim. Everyone’s Solve Aim is different, the structure is the same, but the content is different. Have you figured out yet what your Save Aim is? If you have, awesome. congrats.

But first, there are some things that need saying. In a world of caution and danger, especially now with America being divided along party lines, the war overseas, and finally, the Pandemic and COVID, it seems like in many ways, attaining our dreams is more challenging than ever. And it is.

But now there is Solve Aim that allows you to solve the way for you to finally reach your aim. And I am proud to say there is nothing quite like the Solve Aim System. You no longer have to be commanding, controlling, forceful, accomplished, and influential.

Yianni Stamas Discusses National Christmas Movie Marathon Day and How to Become a Mentalist in 2021

The good folks at “Become a Mentalist” have asked me to both talk about National Christmas Marathon Day (today) and how to become a mentalist in 2021. I’m not quite sure how to discuss both subject matters in the same post, nor am I an expert in either, but I will do my best so please bear with me.

The first thing that comes to mind as a former magician and now part time mentalist, is that both involve magic. December 23rd, as you’ve probably figured out by now is National Christmas Movie Marathon Day which is a time of binging on your favorite Xmas flick ranging from family to horror. So if you are doing this today you might also want to use the experience to ruminate about how to become a mentalist.

Magic movies and a magic plan (like the pictured young lady above) can both be helpful for your pursuits in 2021. I know for myself I always love the classic Christmas movies from when I was a kid including the one narrated by Burl Ives who I am told by my mother is a distant relative. Most of you probably don’t have any idea who Burl Ives is because I am likely much older than you are!

So fueled by Christmas magic you can work out your plan to become a mentalist. My number one recommendation, even if you are a beginner is to focus on the components of mentalist such as are explored at Invent Mentalism. A lot of mentalists would tell you to first read Theodore Anneman’s  “Practical Mental Magic” and Corinda’s “13 Steps to Mentalism,” I agree with this, but because you are just starting out you don’t have any preconceived notions of what is good and bad mentalism. This means from the very start you can be an original and as you learn the various tools of mental magic, integrate them into your effects and act.

So get started with the magic both with the movie marathon and new effects. Good luck on your journey to…Become a mentalist! Oh, and happy holidays and a great new year!

Investing in Yourself

You are a mentalist. You make predictions every day, but in the end you are an entertainer and are a performer playing the role of a mentalist. And if you wish to continue this noble life, you need to be thinking of your future, specifically financially.

Even if you do not believe in magic, on some level it is what propels you forward. Although you maybe be portraying a mentalist, it is possible you got into this pursuit because you at least felt you were intuitive. You have the ability to take in body language, speech patterns and more.

So, why should it be any different when investing? It isn’t. As long as you have educated yourself to know the game and are willing to always learn, you will be fine. Happy millions!

Promote Your Career as a Mentalist

Don’s go down the foggy road or confusion, instead seek the sun.. Promoting your career as a mentalist is a very involved task. In this blog post we are only going to show you some of the options you have available from agencies such as Home Business Achievers. Hence, this entry will feature strategies that they and we use.

Regardless of the type of business you have whether is an internet only entrepreneurial venture or even brick and mortar, as you know you must generate leads to grow your business.

You need to avoid traveling on the road to fog that you cannot see very well in. You need to look toward sunshine.

The thing that is your possible means of impact or can be endlessly frustrating is marketing. What is the best kind of promotional approach to make a difference for you?

Is it possible to have a step by step system that will get you results? What we are going to share with you can work for anyone who has a home business. Yes, you can have the home business of your dreams if you can just learn the right steps.

You can succeed. You can attain your goals. Yes, it IS possible to create access to more people who need what you offer. You are a solution to their problem, and you must connect with them. Remember, you are helping them solve s challenge that they have.

Although our methodology is free, the truth is that nothing is for free. You need certain tools to achieve your objectives. For example, time is money, and this will take you time to do this. But the downsides are outweighed by the positives and as you know, you need to put in the sweat equity. But it is all about focusing on the right thing, so you are working smarter not harder.

The goal is to get you more signups for your venture because subscribers are those who are attracted to what you can do as it applies to them and their needs. You are helping them to achieve THEIR objectives and yes, you can facilitate this for them. Leads are the lifeblood of your business and if you can show others how your products and services will assist them in some facet of what they do, you WILL win.

If you do what we are about to show you, you can literally scale this to the sky. You just require getting on the right path.  We are going to show you the road to travel on to make this possible for your home business. Think bigger. Think of daily subscriptions and daily sales. Your business may need a bit of digital transformation so you can literally be daily making money online. Some of which can happen automatically, so it works on its own without you having to do anything. You can literally be making money in your sleep!

It all starts with belief and hope. These are the two elements that you need to possess. Because unless you can visualize success you will not have success. Why is this? It is because unless you believe you will not move toward and ultimately climb the rights steps. If you do not believe, you will not achieve. Let us say that again as a mantra:

If you don’t believe, you won’t achieve.”

That says it all. But of course, we need to show you something to believe in. This can happen with a variation on network marketing. If that turns you off, do not stop reading this quite yet. We need to put all together for you so that you see the big picture and your place in it.

To have sales you need to have leads. Leads who give you their email address so you can contact them with useful information that applies to what they are looking for. Let us say that again but in a slightly different way. You are what they are looking for because you will have been placed at the exact right position to have them sign up on the exact moment, they need what you do.

But how do you do this? It is in part using internet advertisements. But be careful with this. It is a financial investment on your part, so you do not want to throw it all away. You must put your perception of what you do as seen from your future customer’s point of view.

They are searching the web. But they are not lazily doing so, they are doing it to find the solution you offer to them. Just in the same way as you got what you are reading, you need to show them what you can do for them in such a way that they can see YOU are uniquely capable of helping THEM.

So, the first thing you need can be a video. Do not know how to make a video? That is okay. What you cannot do there is, just like your future clients will want from you, a solution. So, find a spokesperson. That is someone who can be a spokesperson for what you do.

One of the best places to find a spokesperson is by finding sites that provide you with digital workers. Of course, if it is your inclination, you could be the spokesperson for your home business! It’s up to you and your comfort level.

Yes. This is the moment, if you have not already done so, to begin to realize you CAN NOT do everything yourself. Your mode and though process needs to be such that you are the delegation person and the manager and that you utilize the talents of others to make your marketing work. Of course, you want to spend much less money on those you delegate to than your total return of your investment for clients of your home business..

Once you find a spokesperson who will supply you with a video of them against a nice background talking about what you offer, you have taken phase one. You need to write for them a script that shows those who will later watching this video the things they need to hear to act on what you are putting in front of them. The benefit of having a spokesperson is that some spokespeople will videotape what you wrote for them in front of their own background of your choice.

On the other hand, if you will be your own spokesperson and do not have access to equipment, you can film your sections with your mobile phone! Once you have filmed your portions, the trick is to then get the video off of your phone. One way to do this is to get a cable that will both plug into your phone as well as into your computer.

Though, if you are proficient with your phone you could do all the editing necessary on your phone with the right app.

Alternatives for editing on your phone is using one of the online video creation systems that for a small monthly fee will get you access to being able to construct videos. These sites are specifically set up so that even if you have no background in video production you can still turn out enticing videos. Online video creation services will also supply you with video footage as well as photos, graphics and more so you can literally turn out content with no need to film anything.

You may have noticed we are not recommending a specific spokesperson or video creation company to use. We are doing this because this is the moment that YOU need to put in a little bit of elbow grease to find the right entity to hook up with to provide you with what you need, much like your future clients will be doing to find you!

Entertainment Versus Actual Psychic Abilities

Search for Telepathy

I learned to read by perusing many biographies of Harry Houdini. I was always fascinated, even as an 8 year old, of Houdini’s desire to believe in true psychic ability but always being able to prove the trickery of those representing themselves as having actual telepathy.

Looking for the Real Thing

Harry’s search for true psychics started later in his life and was motivated by him wishing to get in touch with his late mother. But again and again Houdini was able imitate through methods of magician entertainers the same feats as those done by folks who claimed to be the real thing.

Supernatural?

Houdini, before passing, made a pact with his wife  that she continue his search for actual mediums, their ability to be proven through revealing a secret code. known only to Harry and Bessie (Houdini’s spouse). This same kind of search continues for mentalists today, performing amazing feats, but never claiming that they are of supernatural origin.

Analyzing Your Original Dream Can Help

“A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.” – Nelson Mandela

Your Real Dream Might be Different than What You Think

We were recently faced with an interesting revelation while helping with the educational process of an individual. The question arose “What is your real dream?” While on the surface you might think that your dream is to become a professional mentalist, it could be subconsciously that you really want something very different.

A Positive Dream

For example, we always thought that we wanted something in terms of our career, often falling short of our expectation of ourselves. We fell and fell and fell again. And then suddenly it struck us. Something that always made us feel good was helping others. And to be more specific: helping others to make a difference. We realized that our practice was to help promote and advance others who had a positive dream.

Making a Difference

So in short, our dream is to help you achieve your dream, especially if it is making a difference in the world. At DIYdigi there is a post that gets into all this in a bit more detail.

Become a Mentalist and Join Others

Do You Want to Become a Mentalist?

Do you want to become a mentalist? It is a choice not for everyone because it does require hard work. It requires the kind of effort that is needed to become a talented magician. Sure, you can get “self working” tricks and put on a show, but this does not a magician make or for that  matter, mentalist.

Become an Actor?

A mentalist is a magician playing the role of a mentalist, and a magician is an actor playing a role of a magician. So for some a good place to start their studying to become a mentalist is by exploring the world of magic. Some of the best mentalists would make fine actors.

A Student of Mentalism?

Once you’ve made the decision to become a mentalist you are ready to start to practice. Two books that we’ve mentioned before are “13 Steps to Mentalism” and “Practical Mental Magic.” These two books are considered by some to be the most important ones for a mentalist. This is probably because they don’t just tell you how the “mentalism tricks” are done but encourage performance nuance on the part of the mentalist student.

Are You Zoom Ready?

Invent Mentalism

At this moment in time many are discovering Zoom as a way to communicated with loved ones and do business here in New York City. Are you Zoom ready? Do you have mentalism that you can do over the internet?

Don’t Be Limited

Being able to create your own mental effects is a real asset. Not only does this mean that you can have an act different from anyone else, it can also mean being able to sell effects you have invented to other mentalists. Plus, it can help you be Zoom ready or the user of any broadcast means of getting out the word about yourself. Not being limited by only having a certain amount of mental effects can be empowering.

Take the Big Step

So the idea is to focus on your vision of what having a Zoom show initially might be, with the step to soon be taken to do an all out program initially reaching a few people, but then having the potential to grow into something very big. In the near future you could be dropping Zoom as a no longer needed incubator and opt instead for YouTube, Vimeo or any other means of having your own program.
