SFBT, developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, is a simple yet powerful approach based on identifying what you want, where evidence of the solution is appearing in your life already, and what would be externally observable signs of progress.

SFBT is based on the idea that no problems occurs always all the time. Even for an alcoholic, there are some days when they drink less than others so investigate what is different about those days when the problem is less and do more of that as opposed to searching through your past to find the reason that may or may not be the cause of the behaviour.

SFBT’s efficacy is well established and supported by a solid and ever increasing body of research. Solution-focused thinking is widely accepted in the fields of therapy, social care, education and business. This book, The Solutions Focus: Making Coaching and Change Simple, was my original introduction to solutions-focused thinking.

EFT, in my opinion, in unparalleled in its ability to heal past events such as trauma and abuse and I find combining SFBT with EFT is incredibly effective when moving forward into the future. I have found it useful in areas such as business improvements, wealth creation, depression, serious disease and weight loss. Here are some of the insights I achieve when I applied one of the questions to issues around money.

The standard EFT approach to achieving your goals is to search in your past for events that have lead to limiting beliefs (“writing on your walls”) that are holding you back from want you want. This is based on Gary Craig’s NLP training which the concept of limiting beliefs is a part of.

But how long to you keep looking in the past for answers? Focusing on the past can itself be used as a diversion from taking real action to move you towards what you want. SFBT helps identify small concrete signs that you are actually making progress.

• How would you know things were getting better?

I have a really strong desire, calling if you wish, to help others and not in the ‘conventional’ sense – and I believe this is what has drawn me to EFT as well as many other alternative modalities. I feel constantly torn between wanting to make a difference and thinking I should get a ‘real’ job. I’m always battling against myself and my wish to move forward. I know I can make a difference I just have to convince myself I can do it!

I’m an unemployed, single parent – I feel very limited as to what I’m able to achieve with very limited income and feel discriminated against because of this – my choices and opportunities are thus very limited accordingly. I feel a burden on society and feel pressured by family and social security to just ‘get a job’ – so I’m torn between my ‘duty’ & ‘expectations’ and my soul’s desire.

Here was my response, “I can very much relate to what you are going through with the conflict of wanting to help people versus getting a ‘real job’. Regardless of appearances, for the last 3 years that since I started Tap4Health, I have been scratching, scraping, negotiating, and sometimes failing to make ends meet each month. This has put a horrendous stress on my mind and body. If it were not for energy techniques such as EFT I would have given up long ago. Even this week, I went for an interview for a full time IT contract so that I can have some consistent income and catch up on debts that are backing up. I’m not giving up on Tap4Health! No way! I’m finding a way to support myself financially and hence mentally, emotionally, and physically while I continue to build my practice. Yes I’ll have to do even more work in the short term but I know my purpose for working.

What I’m saying is that being self-employed and building a business is very hard. There is a reason that 95% of business fail within the first 2 years and 98% within 5 years. And here’s something that makes it even clearer: “It’s not how good you are at something (e.g. EFT); it’s how good you are at marketing what you do that determines your success.”

I know this may not be what you want to hear. There is a lot of stuff out there about “Do what you love, and the money will follow.” That has not been my experience. Nor the experience of the people I know who are very successful. I know of only handful of EFTers who make a living solely from EFT. One of them worked a full time job for the first 5 years of building his practice and then part time for another 2 years before finally going full time.

You might also think, “Well, Rod must still have some limiting beliefs about his income or he’s not doing that law of attraction thing right.” Maybe. The landlord, banks and credit card companies don’t care about those things and won’t wait while you sort them out. They just care about whether you pay your bills or not.

Having a ‘day job’ while you continue to build your EFT and business skills(!) is being a responsible adult (more on this in a minute). You can enjoy any job if you are doing it for a purpose. I don’t like the idea of doing the type of IT work I used to do but I know that I’m doing it to help me build my business even faster. By clearing debts and having the income to do more marketing means that I can build my practice even faster. Try to build the practice and live off the income at the same time is a really hard way to do it.

Further, on being a responsible adult who fulfils their duties and expectations, it’s worth using EFT to tap on the resistance to taking responsibility. Anything we had too much of as a child we tend to resist as an adult. If you took on or felt you had lots of responsibility as a child then you may resist being a responsible adult. Find some specific events from your childhood when you felt like you had to be responsible and tap around those events. Also, tap on the conflict you feel at getting a job versus doing your calling. Remember that you are doing your day job with a purpose to meet your needs and support yourself and your family while you build your practice. It’s great if you can get a job that will help you learn the business skills you need to be successful in your own business. Again, focus on working with a purpose.

The world needs people like you who have such an open heart and desire to help others. And, taking care of yourself is not being selfish! You cannot help others if you are not taking good care of yourself. We all have the capacity to give but if we ourselves are not taken care of then we have a very limited capacity to help others. The more we help ourselves the more we can help others. Would you rather write a cheque to your favourite charity for $10 or for $1,000? Only the person who has taken good care of themselves can do the later.

It will take hard work to move from where you are now to where you want to be. If that feels overwhelming or tiring then tap on that. Focus on making some small progress towards your dreams every day while taking care of yourself on every level and your life WILL TRANSFORM. It all takes time so take care of yourself as you continue on your journey.”

I’m curious about your experience. How do you react to the above? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Because of the vast experience we have in trying to solve this problem we can tell you all the possible causes including past events, limiting beliefs, psychological reversals, past lives, or how our energy is obviously not vibrating at the right level.

Yet, how many of us are experts on how our life would be without this problem?

It may seem stupid, crazy, or a form of denial to think about what life would like if the problem no longer existed yet investigating this future perfect can lead to some valuable clues and insights about what is really holding us back. Ask yourself the question:

How would I know if this issue was no longer a problem for me?

Substitute whatever your personal issue is to make the question specific e.g. “How would I know if money was no longer a problem for me?” This question helps us focus on describing the solution. How would it be if we were experts on the solutions rather than our problem?

You may come up with some quick answers off the top of your head but I want you to dig deeper and come up with some concrete real world noticeable differences, large and small, about how you life would be different if this issue was no longer a problem for you. I recommend at least 21 answers but don’t limit yourself to that.

Money for me has been an issue that seems to defy change, so here are some of the answers I came up with when I asked myself the question, “How would I know if money was no longer a problem for me?” There are some comments in italics along the way. Let me emphasise that these are only my answers. Your answers will be unique to you.

• I would always have cash in my wallet
• I would pay all my bills on time each month
• I would have paid off all my debt (?? seems a long way off; almost impossible to achieve)
• I would feel like I can relax on evenings and weekends without feeling guilty (?? I grew up in a corner store that was open 14 hours a day, 7 days a week and the only time you got to rest was when someone else was working)
• I would have other hobbies apart from work like dancing, drawing, and theatre
• I would trust there’s always more money coming in
• I would not think about how to make more money every day from the moment I wake up (?? what would I think about instead?)
• My business would be a creative channel for me – more fun; not a chore (?? too many chores in childhood)
• My work would not feel desperate and driven all the time
• I would feel like I had time to experiment and make mistakes
• I wouldn’t take life so seriously
• I wouldn’t feel like it was a life and death struggle every day (?? ouch)

There’s definitely some good tapping fodder in there around those thoughts.

If you’re an expert on your problem and find it hard to even ask the question of how your life would be different if this issue was no longer a problem, I have included a video below that uses EFT to get you started on thinking about the solution.

Let me know how this question helped you in the comments.

This breakthrough audio product is not about the Law of Attraction made popular by the movie The Secret. It’s about identifying the strengths you possess, the resources you have, and the concrete actions to take to move you in the direction of your goals.

Using the process and ideas of this audio program, people have lost weight, made more money, improved their relationships, increased their business income and so much more.

I used to call this a goal setting process but it’s so much more than that. This approach to achieving your goals has been developed from one of the most successful therapeutic approaches called Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). SFBT has been around for more than 30 years and has been successful with many of the most difficult and hopeless cases.

This program applies the SFBT approach in a unique way that helps you identify the real changes you want to see in your life and how things would be different once you’ve achieved these results. You already have clues to your success in your life. Use this program to identify what works for you, even some of the time, and how to do more of it.

This is definitely not the standard “work out where you want to be 12 months from now and break it down into monthly, weekly, and daily next actions”. Although this is can work for some people, this program helps you identify your own personal formula for progressing your goals. And how do you know you’ll still want the same thing in 12 months time?

We also don’t waste time identifying limiting beliefs, or past events, or things that are holding you back. These can be interesting but can also be a distraction. The solutions-focused process sets you up to win by identifying things you can do straight away to move you towards your goals.

Do not buy this product if you are just into visualisation and expecting your vibration to attract everything into your life without any effort on your part. The law of attraction can be an excuse for not taking action. Only attend buy this product if you want a clear action plan with defined steps that show results in the real world.

Now is the time to access all your resources and experience and identify the strengths you already have access to and use them to take achieve the successes you want in your life.

The convenient audio format means that you can use the process over and over again for different areas of your life and at different stages of your life. This month you can apply the SF Approach to losing weight and improving your health. Next month you can apply it to increasing your income; then to increasing your marketing; then improving your relationships. The recording is yours forever.

The recording is provided as a download in the popular MP3 format so that you can also take the program with you on any portable music player such as an iPod.

The Solutions-Focused Approach to Your Goals Program has recently been updated to include a full transcript of the recording for your reading pleasure and a worksheet to summarise the steps.

Breakthrough to new levels of succes now. Identify your true strengths and resource. Experience the success you deserve now.

I explored this aspect of having more than enough income after all my expenses and a lot of different aspect came up:

• It’s a waste to have more than I need
• It’s wrong to have so much when others have so little
• I’m not allowed to ‘waste’ that money on toys, clothes, entertainment
• I’d lose my motivation if I had it so easy
• I’ll be foolish with money if I have too much
• I’d feel guilty if I had it that good
• People would hassle me to do things I don’t want to do now that I have the money; not having the money is a great excuse for not doing something
• If I didn’t have to work so hard then what would my life be about?
• People will think I’m lazy if I don’t have to work hard
• I will become a target for scams. It’s not safe for me to have too much
• It’s not good for others for me to have disposable income because they’ll won’t feel good in themselves
• …??

After all the things I’ve tapped on around financial abundance over the years, I was really surprised, and pleased, to discover so many aspects when I thought of having more than enough money. I applied EFT to each of these aspects over and over until I felt sure that I had dealt with them.

Here’s a few rounds of EFT tapping to get you started on investigating and clearing all the aspects of having disposable income. You can use this handy tapping points guide:

It may seem silly to focus on having disposable income when you’re not even making ends meet but sometimes focusing beyond your existing goals to what’s after that can break you through to surprising new levels very quickly.

By the way, I actually prefer the term “discretionary income” as opposed to disposable income since I would like to spend any extra money that I have with due care and attention (with discretion) rather than the disposing of it, which, to me, sounds like just throwing it in the trash!

The idea of positive thinking was to always focus on what was good. If you think negative thoughts then you’ll get more of that instead of what you really want. So you need to pay special attention to your thoughts, all day every day, and weed out all those negative thoughts. Having tried this, I can tell you its hard work. It’s hard to stay in the present moment when you’re trying to monitor every thought that comes into your head and edit every word that pops out of your mouth.

And then along comes EFT. EFT allows us to deal with negative thoughts and emotions, clearing “disruptions in the body’s energy system” that we feel as emotions that we label as negative.

When using EFT we focus on the supposedly negative. We say negative words while we’re tapping. A frequently asked question from newcomers is “why do we say the negative, when we’ve been taught for years to only focus on the positive?” There’s almost a phobia about focusing on the negative just in case, if you focus on it, even for just a little while, suddenly you will manifest all those bad things on the spot instantly! Uh huh.

When I first discovered EFT, I became almost obsessive with tapping on every negative thought that popped into my head, thinking that if I could just clear all those negative thoughts then I would be happy; then I would be rich; then I could have what I want.

So after 6 years of clearing negative stuff, how’s that working out for me?

While I do feel amazing on the inside, and I still very much use EFT as an effective healing tool for myself and my clients, my external circumstances can still be a struggle. Supporters of the law of attraction would say that I’m not yet vibrating at the right level to manifest what I want. So should I continue to search for why I’m not vibrating at the right level and continue to try and find the negative beliefs that are holding me back until I tap them all out before taking action?

One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.

So what else could be the case? 

A brilliant article by fellow Australian tapper Steve Wells on the Power of Negative Thinking and Feeling highlighted that there are some highly successful people out there with very negative thinking. They don’t get much more successful than Warren Buffet who is currently one of the richest man in the world. What is his mantra, his primary thought that has helped achieve such incredible success: “Don’t lose money” This phrase focuses on the negative. This phrase focuses on what he doesn’t want. Seems to have worked pretty well for him. This phrase hasn’t stopped him from achieving his dreams.

So are you using the law of attraction as an excuse for not taking action?

If you aren’t yet successful, is it because you haven’t cleared all those negative things and there must still be something wrong with your level of vibration so you should continue to focus on finding what’s wrong? Or, could it be, that there is nothing wrong with you except that you haven’t taking enough actions to achieve what you want?.

One of my favourite quotes is:

“If man advances confidently in the direction of his own dreams and endeavours to live the life that he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” – by Henry David Thoreau

Don’t get me wrong, I do still think there is such things as self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, and psychological reversals but how long are you going to continue to focus on finding and clearing these before you start taking action towards your goals. How would you know if you have cleared all these things without taking action and receiving some feedback? You don’t receive feedback until you take some action to move forward.

I guess the whole point of this article is to encourage, prompt, and challenge you to take action, any actual real physical action, that will move you towards what you want regardless of what state you think your thoughts or vibration are in. Get honest with yourself and check to see whether you are using self-improvement, personal development, or the law of attraction as an excuse for not getting off your butt and doing something to move towards your goals.

Here are some examples about what action might look like:

• If you want to have a ideal relationship: are you actually dating people, are you listed on RSVP, or are you sitting at home visualising your ideal mate and hoping they will walk through the door?
• If you want to increase your income: are you doing something to increase your value in the market place or are you sitting at home staring at dream boards?
• If you want more clients in your business: are you trying different types of marketing or are you sitting in an empty office wondering what’s wrong with your level of vibration?

Don’t let the law of attraction stop you from actually doing something that can move you towards your goals. Now. Today. Right now. Why are you still reading?

Financial abundance has been an area of my life that hasn’t improved much even with many years of self development. Sure I’ve change careers and my lifestyle is wonderful but in terms of actual balance sheet… not much change. Of course, I have done lots of processes around clearing limiting beliefs, past life vows, languages, incantations, affirmations, you name it.

But here’s the thing; If you continue to ask questions like “What are my limiting beliefs around money? What is holding me back? What else do I need to clear?” you can only get more answers like that. These are all problem focused questions.

So I asked myself a solution-focused question: “How would I know, even a little bit, that my financial situation was improving? How would I notice that things were getting better, even just a little bit?”

Sure we are told to have Big Hairy Audacious Goals and aim for the moon etc and that is where we might end up. But how would you know you are actually moving in the right direction unless you tell yourself what to look for; what to notice?

Of course, these questions don’t only apply to financial goals but to any area of your life.

It took me two days before my brain finally gave over some answers to those questions. So what about you? How do you go with coming up with answers for noticing even a little bit of improvement in the direction of your goals.
