The Future Is Here (& It’s Shocking!)

Tim Shurr • April 11, 2023

“The thing about AI is that it’s very hard to predict what the long-term consequences are going to be. It’s like the genie out of the bottle, you don’t know what’s going to happen.” – Jordan Peterson

I spent the last two days in Las Vegas with some of the world’s most successful business owners and marketers.

To give you an idea of the caliber of the group, I was standing in the lunch line on Friday and struck up a conversation with the guy behind me.

As we got to know each other, he shared what he found to be working in advertising, that it costs three time’s more to convert prospects into customers, and why it’s about to get worse.

Then he qualified his opinion by revealing that his advertising budget last year was one hundred million dollars.

Yes, $100,000,000.00, spread across the numerous businesses his agency represents.

The first challenge is that the world is full of noise because of technology, and we are bombarded with thousands of distractions and marketing messages every day.

The second challenge is that on the internet, EVERYONE is an expert now, especially in the mental health profession.

I’ve studied psychology, human behavior, and business growth best practices for 35 years. But, most importantly, I have facilitated over 16,000 individual coaching sessions and hundreds of company group training’s, plus impacted millions of people online.

That real-world experience has given me tremendous insight into what drives human behavior and how to quickly and sustainably influence it.

Yet, the internet marketplace is full of life coaches, neuroplasticity coaches, mindset coaches, and numerous therapists selling programs online who have little to no experience but position themselves as an authority.

The third (new) challenge is artificial intelligence (AI).

I got a first-hand look at the new open-source AI, which was both thrilling and horrifying.

It was exciting because you could ask a complicated question and get an impressive response almost instantly.

The scary part is that this particular AI system was pulling information from the internet and feeding it back in a compelling manner, even though the answer given was false!

You may not know this, but a lot of the information on the interwebs is false or not based on real-world experience but on personal opinion, propaganda, or to sell you something.

It’s like listening to someone who’s always been single passionately rant about the complexities of marriage.

AI isn’t something that’s coming; it’s here.

It will significantly disrupt our lives and how we run our businesses by the end of this year, even though the average citizen will likely be unaware of it.

The only solution is to do your best to stay ahead of what’s coming by up-leveling your mindset, skill level, and ability to produce income.

Many approaches are available, yet based solely on the 93% success rate it has consistently produced over three decades, I recommend being coached with or becoming  Certified in the One Belief Away™Method.

Because the next One Belief Away™Hypnosis Certification begins in two weeks, here are  five crucial reasons you should apply to enroll  in this program.

  1. Increased job opportunities : Anxiety, bad habits, and depression are becoming more prevalent in mental health and related fields than ever, and there is a growing demand for OBA Hypnotists with specialized knowledge, skills, and business savvy.
  2. Competitive advantage : Being able to produce almost instant results (positive enhancements in how one thinks, feels, and behaves) gives you an edge in the marketplace because 80% of consumers trust online reviews before buying.
  3. Keeping up with advancements : Numerous training programs teach theories and strategies that are outdated, ineffective, or that satisfy the urge to feel special but do little to enhance the meaningful outcomes of the client. I’ve removed the intellectual fluff and given you tools and plans that predictably help the most people in the shortest duration. You’ll be utilizing 21st-century mind enhancement technology to end needless emotional suffering!
  4. Greater earning potential : Professionals with knowledge and skills in OBA Hypnosis™can command higher salaries and have greater earning potential than those without them. Many of our students do not practice as Hypnotists but have incorporated their skills into industries including healthcare, law, executive coaching, and Human Resources.
  5. Enabling new possibilities : By understanding and working with your unconscious mind’s creative forces, you can unlock new growth opportunities and innovative solutions that would not be possible otherwise. OBA clients experience awe-inspiring results in all areas of life, completely transforming the quality of their life.

The world is about to change again, as it did with the internet, home computers, and smartphones.

We can prepare ourselves and be a part of the revolution or do nothing and become controlled by it.

I know which side I’m going to be on.

How about you?

Athletes Reveal How Hypnosis Improves Sports Performance

By Tim Shurr • September 23, 2025
The difference between winning and losing in sports often comes down to more than physical strength or skill. At the highest levels, athletes know that the real edge lies in the mind. Confidence, focus, and the ability to stay calm under pressure are what separate champions from the rest of the field. At Indy Hypnosis, athletes are finding that hypnosis provides the mental boost they need to reach new levels of performance. Sports psychologists have long said that competition is as much a mental game as a physical one. Even the best training can fall apart when nerves take over or self-doubt creeps in. Hypnosis addresses these mental blocks directly by reprogramming the subconscious mind to respond with confidence, clarity, and determination. One young athlete came to Indy Hypnosis struggling with performance anxiety. On practice days, he excelled. But when it was time to compete, his nerves took control and his results fell short. After a series of hypnosis sessions, he broke through the mental barrier and went on to set five new personal records. “I didn’t feel nervous anymore,” he explained. “I felt like I could just do what I had trained to do.” Professional and recreational athletes alike report similar stories. Golfers find their swing more consistent. Runners feel a newfound endurance. Weightlifters hit personal bests without the voice of doubt holding them back. What all these athletes share is the realization that once the mind stops working against them, their natural ability shines. Hypnosis also helps with recovery. Injuries often leave behind not only physical scars but also mental ones. An athlete recovering from a torn ligament may hesitate, afraid of pushing too hard and risking another injury. Through hypnosis, those fears can be reframed, allowing the athlete to return with full confidence and a stronger focus on healing. Science backs up what these athletes describe. Studies show that hypnosis can improve concentration, reduce stress hormones, and increase motivation. By visualizing success under hypnosis, athletes create mental “rehearsals” that make the real event feel familiar, boosting confidence and performance on game day. For many, the biggest surprise is how natural the shift feels. They do not have to force positivity or pretend to be confident. Instead, confidence emerges as the default setting. “It wasn’t about tricking my brain,” one athlete shared. “It was about finally trusting myself.” Sports are built on fine margins, and those margins are often mental. With hypnosis, athletes are discovering that the edge they have been searching for has been inside them all along—waiting to be unlocked. If you are ready to take your performance to the next level, schedule a free consultation with Indy Hypnosis today and discover how hypnosis can help you win from the inside out.

Conquer Stress and Lower Anxiety With a Proven Hypnosis Method

By Tim Shurr • September 19, 2025
Stress has become the background noise of modern life. From deadlines at work to family responsibilities and the constant buzz of technology, it is no wonder that anxiety levels are at an all-time high. For many people, the pressure feels relentless, and traditional coping strategies like deep breathing or exercise often provide only temporary relief. At Indy Hypnosis, clients are discovering that hypnosis offers a deeper, more lasting solution. Unlike quick fixes, hypnosis works by calming the mind at its source. Stress is not just a reaction to circumstances; it is also the product of thought patterns that magnify worry and fear. The subconscious mind, which governs much of our emotional response, often gets stuck in loops of “what if” thinking. Hypnosis gently interrupts those loops, replacing them with calmer, more empowering messages. Clients frequently describe their sessions as surprisingly peaceful. One woman said it felt like “an hour-long vacation for my brain.” By the end, her racing thoughts had slowed, and she carried that calm with her long after the session was over. Another client, who had battled panic attacks for years, reported that the intensity and frequency of her episodes decreased dramatically after beginning hypnosis. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she now feels in control. Science supports these experiences. Studies show that hypnosis can lower heart rate, ease tension, and reduce cortisol, the stress hormone that wreaks havoc on the body. This makes it more than just a mental shift; it is a full-body reset. Clients often notice they sleep better, concentrate more easily, and approach daily challenges with a clearer head. Perhaps the most striking difference is how natural it feels. Instead of forcing relaxation, hypnosis allows the mind to release its grip on anxious thoughts. As one client explained, “It wasn’t about pushing stress away. It was like my brain finally remembered how to relax.” Stress and anxiety do not have to rule life. With the One Belief Away Method, people are finding that the heavy burden of worry can be lifted, replaced with a steady confidence that carries them through each day. If you are ready to quiet the noise of stress and experience lasting calm, schedule your free consultation with Indy Hypnosis today. Relief is closer than you think.

Stop Smoking for Good With Hypnosis That Works

By Tim Shurr • September 19, 2025
For decades, quitting smoking has been one of the hardest challenges people face. Nicotine patches, chewing gum, prescription medications, and countless “quit plans” have promised results, yet relapse rates remain high. Many smokers desperately want to stop, but the grip of addiction seems stronger than sheer willpower. At Indy Hypnosis, however, clients are finding a path to freedom that feels both possible and permanent. The secret lies in addressing the mind, not just the habit. Smoking is not only a physical addiction but also a deeply ingrained behavioral pattern. For many, lighting up is tied to stress relief, social rituals, or even simple routines like a morning coffee. Trying to stop without addressing these subconscious connections often leads to frustration and relapse. Through hypnosis, those patterns begin to shift. The subconscious mind, which controls much of our automatic behavior, can be reprogrammed to disconnect cigarettes from their old triggers. Instead of fighting the urge every time stress arises, clients find the desire to smoke naturally fading. One client who smoked for thirty years described the experience as “like flipping a switch.” After her session, she no longer craved cigarettes, and the thought of smoking felt out of place rather than tempting. Another powerful story came from Yovanna, who struggled with smoking for three decades. She had tried everything else and felt convinced she would never break free. After working with Indy Hypnosis, she walked away from cigarettes with a sense of calm rather than struggle. What surprised her most was how natural it felt. “I wasn’t forcing myself to quit,” she explained. “I just didn’t want to smoke anymore.” Beyond individual accounts, science has also shown hypnosis to be effective in smoking cessation. By directly addressing the subconscious, it bypasses the endless battle of willpower and offers a smoother path forward. Hospitals and clinics around the world now include hypnosis as part of smoking cessation programs, validating what clients at Indy Hypnosis have been experiencing for years. What makes this method stand out is not just the success of quitting but the permanence of the change. Instead of feeling deprived, clients feel free. Instead of counting days since their last cigarette, they begin building new routines filled with energy, confidence, and health. Breaking free from smoking is not about giving something up. It is about reclaiming life. Clients report breathing easier, feeling more energetic, and rediscovering a sense of control they thought they had lost forever. If you are ready to stop smoking for good and experience true freedom, schedule your free consultation with Indy Hypnosis today. The next chapter of your life can begin smoke-free.
