I am so GRATEFUL!!! & in SHOCK!!!!

...SO yesterday, I get to the Hypnosis Motivation Institute where I have my clinic office, and I'm waiting for my client to come and I'm walking down the corrider and I see the #1 Top recruiter/Admissions rep for the school who happened to have done my paperwork to enroll. He LOVEEES seeing me..and we are both so High Energy it's crazy!...so yeah...He tells me "Come Brag to me ALTA!!"...and I tell him,....well, "It's funny you say that, because most people don't like to hear people brag, ....and I actually LOST A FRIEND recently because of me telling her about the good things in my life...and is as well is a Hypnotherapist that was in my same classes,...and we were close...but since I'm WORKING FOR IT...& she's DREAMING ABOUT IT....the results we've been getting are DIFFERENT...she won't talk to me no more as a result of her spiraling negatively for the past weeks. I tried my best to make ammends and help her but nada!"

...I told him, "I learned that if you want to keep the people you care about your friends still, focus more on THEM...and less on yourself!" ...but in my eyes, that SUCKS...because I listen to the good and the bad....Anyways...he tells me..."Alta,...you are WORKING for it, and it's happening! She's just jealous. And you HAVE to tell people about your success so that they know that they TOO CAN DO IT!!! You have only been seeing clients now for what?!?! 14 weeks now?!?!...and you have ALL PAYING clients, you have moved out on your own because of it,...and you are a committe member now of these networking groups...and have you AUDITIONED for HMI WEB TV?!?!

...."Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhatttttt?"...I said..."No, never thought of it." (actually I had only dreamed of being an Online Hypnotherapist, and being on actual TV doing hypnotherapy..LOL) ...pretty close though. Our school which is federally funded (Fafsa) and nationally accreddited has a LIVE 24/7 WEB TV for hypnotherapist all over the world!!!!

...He said "WHAT!!!?!?! You should!!! You are my POSTER child from meetup.com, Alta!" ....and then he took me to George Kappas (the director "top natcho" of the whole school's office) and told him, "Hey I want you to meet Alta,...she is Graduating at the end of the month (wooooooooohooooo) and she is having TONS of success, and is seeing 5 clients minimum weekly and they are all paying and she hasn't even finished yet, and as a result she was able to move out and is just a real example." (I'm just flattered and smiling at this point)...and George Kappas says..."Nice!...well how do you feel about PUBLIC SPEAKING!?!?!"

...I say, well...."I feel GOOD about it!" (mostly truth, little anticipatory excitement) and he says "Good!...I want you to come and speak in front of a new class, just like when you were in this class and they have a panel of 3 people who are having SUCCESS to speak and tell your story, ...and they can ask questions (70 people in class) and pick your brain about how you are doing it!....and we pay $100 for the travel here. May 4th be here at 6:30pm. Also, how do you feel about TEACHING a SELF IMPROVEMENT CLASS here at HMI every now and then!?!?!"

......By this time my heart is PUMPINGGGGG like crazy....I mean, come on....YES, I had dreamed about it,...but I thought that "Oh, maybe 5-10 years from now, they'd want me to come speak LOL"....when I'm super successful, because the people they have up on those panels are CRAZY successful and there are Hundreds of people yearly who graduate and would loveeeeeeeee to be asked to speak up there, let alone TEACH A CLASS!!! WTF!?!?!?! Oooooohhh SHIT!!!!!

.....So I tell George "Oh Yea!!! Definitely!!!" (as I'm about to topple over in EXCITEMENT, SHOCK, GRATITUDE, and CRAZY ball of emotions. I mean....I was just walking by the recruiters office, now I'm in the Director's office...and being offered all kinds of shit!!!...Crazy how your dreams will attract themselves to you!!! Insaneeeeeeee actually!!! I feel like crying right now, actually I did in the car this morning!

.....SO ,....it's a DEAL!...I will be speaking on the "Success Panel" May 4th and getting paid for it. I am Graduating April 28th of this month, and the actual ceremony will be Sept last weekend of it. I'd say there are probably about 350-450 other Hypnotherapists graduating with me then, who all would have loveeeeeeed this opportunity as well!!!

....I feel SOOOOO Blessed!!!

...I dreamed of being on Tv, (now I might be on HMI tv), I dreamed of giving classes here at HMI ( and now SOON I might as well), I dreamed of my of being a Celebrity Hypnotherapist (now I've had my first client), I dreamed of having my own place (now I have it), I dreamed of having all paying clients (now I have them!), I dreamed of being thin (now I'm doing it!), I dreamed of being part of a networking group ( now I'm a "Committe organizer for one"), I dreamed of being Cancer Free (now I am!!!), I dreamed of running a marathon (now I'm going to run my 2nd one!!)......I've learned "EVERYTHING YOU DREAM IS POSSIBLE!! IF YOU CAN DREAM IT,...IT CAN HAPPEN!"

....water your seeds. It's like planting a seed in the ground. You can't expect for it to sprout over night. It takes TIME. It takes patience. It takes LOVE. It takes FAITH and Knowing that it will happen. That's the TRUTH!

I got up this morning and did 30 mins on the treadmill!! WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! I have so many reasons to SMASH these pounds.....and speaking of 2 lbs down!!! 158!!! Wooohooo!!!

I'm so happy for you Alta - totally inspiring and I wish your friend would see it the same way - get inspired from you and work towards it herself! I'm glad you aren't letting her get you down and your staying positive throught this all! Your an amazing person and I'm so glad I joined this site and found you!

Awwww...thank you SO MUCH guys!!! You guys are all so special!!! We all are!!! I know that now!!!

....and go figure....My friend Hypnotherapist called me right now, and said "Alta, where have you been?!?! I've been trying to get a hold of you!"....I told her "I've been texting you for like 2 weeks and NOTHING from you...".....she said "Alta, what are you talking about...I love ya girl....WHAT!!!? I never received the texts..."

...it made me wonder....then I realized that I got a NEW PHONE...this last month,...and that it doesn't automatically text the contact in my phone unless you click on the contact number ...and realized that "oh Shit, maybe she really didn't get any of my texts..and since she never responded I never called her either....DOHHHHHH!!!!"


....so ....All in All...I didn't Lose a Friend!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!...she actually wants a session on Monday too to quit smoking! LOL...oh "Alta...you are so SILLY!!!" ***blushing***LOL!!!
