In this episode of The Lead King Podcast I interview Psych-K facilitator LeAnna Korner. You may ask why I'm interviewing someone outside the realm of marketing and my answer is simple! LeAnna helped me in such profound ways that I just had to share her with my audience and the world! One huge obstacle LeAnna helped me overcome was my lack of belief in my own value. Like many other marketers, I started out charging very low rates - as low as $50. From there I never really felt I was worth the prices my competitors were charging (and many of them were getting inferior results). In one 60 minute Psych-K session, LeAnna helped me wipe away that limiting belief and I've never looked back. She also helped me get over my massive abandonment issues from my childhood as well as a whole list of many other limiting beliefs! What exactly is Psych-K? Great question! It's basically a way to get in touch with your subconscious mind to change your core beliefs. And when you change those beliefs everything in your life changes! To learn how this works in detail you must listen to the entire episode of this podcast! I promise, if you listen and actually apply Psych-K to your life only amazing and positive things will come of it!
