Testimonials
20 Years To The Day…
The Mental Toolbox was a wonderful experience, it was extremely educational, fascinating and in some cases unbelievable. All these wonderful qualities, plus more have truly changed my thinking processes, and have already begun to infiltrate my day to day life. As I revealed to Paul on Saturday, I had been sexually abused as a child. More than twenty years ago on Saturday the 21st of October I was abused for the first time and became a victim. On the 21st of October, 2006 I was no longer a victim, you taught me how to forgive and love myself. There is no way I can thank you enough… All I can ask is for you both to continue and help others in similar situations. Thank you very much for providing me with this opportunity and teaching me how to change my life for the better. You have had such an impact on my life, my husband's and my kid's and future.
I'm In Control…
I particularly enjoyed Paul’s entertaining way; he got the message across and I loved him laughing at his own jokes. It excites both myself and Jim to know that there are people in the world like you guys who give so much, love their families and are successful too. I had a challenging day on the Monday back at work. I won't go into detail, but to say any normal person would have called it a "shitty" day, would be an understatement. Jim and I laughed over dinner that night, saying the day still hadn't rattled us. I thought it was interesting after such a positive weekend I was given a day to test what I'd learnt. I just let the universe know, it’s not rattling me, so back off. I'm here to stay and be a huge success. Today has been another fabulous day, back on track.
Your Reputation Enhanced…
Paul! Excellent presentations, we just kept on being re-energized by your sense of humour and wisdom. I'm sure there wasn't a male in the audience who wasn't sitting a bit harder and tighter in his chair. Mary! Your untiring attention to detail and the well being of all, participants, presenters and helpers, was a joy to behold. Thanks for a great set of processes ranging from complete relaxation to excitement and sometimes tears. Sandra Butler had told me how wonderful you both are, now I can make that statement myself.
No More Fear of Flying…
"Thank You" for a fantastic weekend. It is a lot to take in, and it is hard to say what will give me the most. What I can say is, I love learning and there was a lot of that. I can also tell you that I find it very uncomfortable to fly. Most of the time, my husband has blue marks on his arm after a flight. I logically know it is safe and so on, still, I don't like it. On the way back from Sydney to Adelaide , I did the safe process you taught us… The pilot was in control of the airplane and I was in control of my "bubble". Glad to say we both did a fantastic job. I didn't feel scared and Paul didn't even get a squeeze. It felt so rewarding to be able to so quickly put something I learnt in to practice.
I'm Coming Back For More…
Thanks for opening my eyes to my own potential. I was reluctant to attend, but did so on the advice of a friend. Thank you for your warmth, openness and intelligence. Thank you for being so caring as to want to share your knowledge and insights. I already look forward to our next encounter.
It Works Like Magic…
Thanks again for such a phenomenal weekend. I feel like the very chemistry of my body has changed in some way! I found the processes most interesting and unique. It's like watching and learning magic! I must say I like your commonsense approach and you remove all the bull from the seminar scene, within which same seems to grow readily. I also hugely enjoyed the weekend and found Paul to be very down-to earth and "Australian", i.e. he speaks our language. He was great!
Delivered The Goods…
Thanks for a wonderful weekend. I’ve heard it before, but I loved your slant on it. I love your energy. I love your warmth & sincerity. You delivered the goods as only you guys can. A rekindling of all I know, all I didn’t know and where I know I need to be. Thanks and love.
Blockages Released…
This has been an amazing weekend that has shown me a way to unleash my inner strength. You helped me to identify the blockages that have been holding me back, and I now have the tools and methods to release them. Just the one I erased on the weekend is enough to inspire, motivate and change me forever!
Victimless at last…
I have been fighting the victim mould for years. This weekend brought me back to who I am, what I want, what I believe and where I want to go in life. I feel affirmed, encouraged, and appreciated. I feel ready and able to take the big leap back into the world.
Mind-Power Of My Own…
Thank you for sharing your spirit with me. You have touched my life. It is the definitive step in opening my spirit and sharing my intuition with others. I really appreciated your generosity, love and support. I was unsure at first, but wow, I have been blown away by the power of the mind and the potential I now have to make my life how I want it.
Massive Knowledge Gain.…
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you both for an amazing weekend . As a Master Practitioner of NLP and Personal Coach I knew some of the information you were teaching. However, it never ceases to amaze how much more there is to know and learn. I loved the fact the seminar was extremely useful for all walks of life and we are able to implement these techniques into our lives immediately. You both have a beautiful, genuine manner, which made the seminar even more incredible. I commend you both for the amazing work that you do and the enormous number of people you have reached. You have just given me even more inspiration to keep moving forward on my journey. Many thanks and I do hope to see you both again soon! Take care.
Earthy & Real…
Thanks for the mind blowing workshop. Nice to see a truly Australian born and bred rich source of solid tested and proven motivational and personal development material. Look forward to working with you again.
Best I've Been To…
Thanks for a great weekend – it was not only an eye and soul opener but it was presented with such professionalism, warmth and sincerity. There have been many conferences in our lives, this was the most fun and the least exhausting, and therefore the most successful. If we can just implement a percentage of what has been offered we will be on the way to greater self understanding and we should be able to positively influence people who are important in our lives. Best wishes,
What a brilliant team you both make…
I want to thank you both wholeheartedly for reinforcing many truths and establishing a new way of seeing and believing in both of us. I loved the way you shared your knowledge and then gave us strategies to work with immediately. Your time invested in us that weekend has brought our family alive we are using the techniques and all of a sudden every aspect of our life is vivid and I actually know we will achieve our personal hearts desires. Thank you for being so funny. I applaud your wonderful sense of humour and it created a relaxed environment to go deeper. Somehow miraculously, you have allowed me to explore the level of commitment and my priorities have changed. That which is important to me will dictate my life rather than the busyness of the day or moment. We have realised how we actually want to live our days and are making advancements to procuring that lifestyle which we value.
Anyway, with lives already enriched and great hope within us and plans that motivate us; we thank you again.
Paul and Mary,
You guys are the complete package I have been needing and searching for, for such a long time and here it is in my own back yard (almost). The Mental Tool Box workshop was truly a life changing event for me. I have explored many aspects of personal development over the years and always taken something good from each oaf them but before your workshop, always felt I was taking a jigsaw puzzle approach to changing my life. I'd take this bit from Tony Robbins, something else from Deepak Chopra and so on. But your Mental Toolbox and your 'Silver Personal Development Program" have put all the pieces together for me in a most practical way. That's what makes your stuff so irresistible, you take the most spiritual and life changing things and put them into such an easy to follow practical day to day program, one can't help but follow it. Thank you for your insights, your patience and the loving care you both put into everything you do. The challenges of running my own business and balancing other aspects of life are a lot easier with you guys beside me. My very best wishes,
Hi Mary,
I'm writing to thank you and Paul for everything you have done for me and my family, I don’t know words that explain just how grateful I am!! I wrote my first goal in my magic book last night. IT WORKED ALREADY!!! I had an interview with a school that I’m hoping to move to today and I wrote in my goal book everything I want the school to be and included my hopes for my interview. I’m home now and the principal has told me she will definitely accept my enrolment and that I am a very mature and intelligent young woman..
I impressed her!! :) and I have both of you to thank.. I was so nervous all day before I went to my interview and kept telling myself "I know this is going to be everything I want it to be" and just imagined myself walking out of the school today so happy because I knew they would be begging me to go to their school. Again I don’t know words to explain how grateful I am.. I love you two and I am so glad that you are a part of my life. Thankyou!
Thank You So Much For This Experience…
I would like to thank you so much for this experience, the things I have learnt will stay with me forever. I wouldn’t be half the person I am today if it wasn’t for the help and love of both of you. I wish you all the happiness life can bring and much more. Thank you.
Wow…
Outstanding, amazing, unbelievable, but; you provided more…unforgettable. Paul you missed your calling as a comedian, you have fantastic tone, timing and sense of humour which made listening to you all the more fascinating and enjoyable. Mary and Jason, I wish I heard more from both of you. As in everyday for the rest of my life. Thanks.
Amazing information…
Easy to understand. Lots of fun. Fantastic. Absolutely amazing and useful information. So thank you again. You have helped much more than you think.
Powerful…
Thank you for giving me my power back. I feel blessed, and reminded of the wonder and joy of what we all are. Thank you for reminding me that I am whole to begin with, I just need to do a bit of rewiring.
Inspirational…
Genuine. Honest. Liberating. Real. Sensitive. Sharing. Giving. Loving. These are all words to describe what your team have demonstrated this weekend. I am inspired by the lessons and look forward to a life using them. Thank you so much.
The Best I've Seen…
I have done much personal development in my life, but I have been blown away. Paul, you are a great speaker that keeps an audience interested through the long days and I feel I have learned a lot. Thank you.
Got It All…
I am so grateful for having you both touch my life. Because of you both my family is wonderful and loving, I met the love of my life, and found myself. Thank you a thousand times.
Wonderful…
Thank you so much for your wonderful workshop. Your sense of humour and passion for what you do really made the lessons fun to learn. I really learnt a lot about myself and I’m so excited about using the tools to start living my life to the full. Thanks also for making the workshop affordable for so many people. Bless you.
Magic…
I had to quickly tell you how energised I've been feeling ever since the weekend. I thought on Monday I would be extremely tired however instead I was almost bursting out of my skin with energy. I have started my Victory book, recorded my tape (which I listen to morning and night) and I've started to put together my goal book. I feel fabulous!!
Awesome weekend!
The fact that I was personally able to experience some of the powers of the mind instead of just hearing of other peoples experiences was certainly the highlight of the weekend for me and a real breakthrough. It certainly changed one of my programmes and made me believe that the mind really is that powerful. Thanks for all your question-answering and clarifications - look forward to hearing from you soon.
Easy…
It has been a fantastic gift to find you. The depth of your insight and intuition serves as an incredible inspiration to me. Your down to earth style and generosity are the main reasons I felt instantly comfortable.
Hands on…
Thanks for a great weekend. It’s been really hands on and heart changing. I’m excited about the new skills I have learnt and the like minded people I have met and will continue to contact. I’m going to create myself a great new life.
A Tidal Wave…
I wanted to give you some feedback on the impact the Mental Toolbox has had on my family since Douglas and I attended at the beginning of the year. Apart from the pleasure of listening to your dulcet tones Paul, your course has really set us on the right path. Doing the Toolbox as a couple has really helped us when setting up Niche Partners as we have been able to concentrate on each other’s strengths. I also came to realize that my fear of letting people down was holding me back as I tended to slow down to make sure everything was right. Well now I am embracing that and we are so in the flow. It seems that incredible opportunities are seeking us out and there have been recently some amazing coincidences – almost like positive omens – that have filled gaps that have existed for years. I feel as though I am surfing on the top of a tidal wave but now just trust that I will not wipe-out but coast into shore. Thanks for inspiring us.
I never looked back…
Before I met you, Paul, I had seen quite a few counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists etc and they all seemed to make me feel like life was very hard and they gave me silly labels like “major depressive syndrome”. Then one day I had an hour with you and I never looked back. I went from being a very depressed teenager with panic attacks to a confident young woman. I’ve travelled the world; have a great career, a wonderful partner and loads of friends. Life couldn’t be more perfect…
It’s been 9 years since I saw you and I haven't seen or felt the need to see any type of counsellor in that time. I still remember what you taught me.
It gets used over and over…
The presence of you and your family in my life has been a great blessing. Last night, for the latest of many times, I applied things, that I have learnt from you, to a situation at home. I was rewarded with being able to watch someone, whom I care deeply about, break through a number of personal barriers and connect with themselves, and their feelings, more deeply and honestly than they ever have before. For all the gifts of the heart and mind that you have all given me, again, my greatest thanks.
Getting on track…
“I had a wonderful time at your course and really enjoyed it. I learnt much, both through your leadership and from the stories of the others who were there. I surprised myself with realisations and the discovery (and re-discovery) of ways to navigate the labyrinth of issues that hold us back. Powerful lessons that will not be forgotten quickly. I'm grateful to you for making this possible!! Mabelle and I both feel we've made important progress over the last week in taking control over our lives, and in realising that we can help each on the journey. I think we both knew this intuitively, but hadn't really acknowledged it in ways that the thinking brain could understand!!
Fixed My Money Stuff…
Firstly, thanks for the weekend workshop, it was great. Even though I knew I had beliefs that stank about financial success, and I sort of knew what they were, over the weekend I got what they were as if I got them clearly for the first time and in a very weird way, I was actually surprised that I had those beliefs. Removing them so quickly and easily has been a delight.
18 Years Later…
As usual, you exceeded my expectations and reminded me of what is possible. Eighteen years later and the message is still clear and profound. Thank you and I look forward to working with you for many years to come. Lots of love,
Again…
As always you have touched my heart with your integrity, passion and truth. Memories of the breakthroughs that I had on your courses way back have always been with me and fondly remembered. Now, you've done it all again!
Thank you for yet another fabulous experience. To share your stuff with my son and have a weekend with him alone, doing something profoundly meaningful is a dream come true for me. I continue to be in awe of your insight, humour and ability to engage people on so many levels.
So Few Words…
I love the way you say so much without saying much, I learn so much from you. Multitudes of gratitude for sharing with us, for being so honest and from working from your soul – it touches me so deeply when I am in your class. You always help me move, grow and change. I love your attitude!!
Underpriced…
Amazingly, ridiculously and outrageously underpriced. Great blend of practical and spiritual delivered in an engaging, fun and accessible manner. 110% recommended.
Useful…
You really crammed an incredible amount of useful ‘hands on’ material into the workshop. I got a lot from the weekend and I can’t believe how quickly the time went.
Value…
Thank you for your energy and compassion in allowing me to get so much for so little ($). Thanks heaps.
Goals Start Happening…
Had the most awesome time I learnt heaps, especially the tape with the life goals and doing the mental pictures. My biggest problem was getting goals to turn into reality. I really think this will help immensely. The self image statue was excellent as well. I really liked how Paul spent all weekend tearing down facades and barriers.
A New Me…
A huge thank you for a fantastic weekend of learning, exploring and practising ways on how to "reprogram" areas of my life in a safe, welcoming and warm environment. This weekend has been a turning point in my life!
Throughout the weekend I found that I was able to absorb more information and stay focused when I normally would start tuning out and wanting an afternoon nap. I also found that my understanding of this relatively new topic was accelerated. Thank you again for providing an opportunity that has started me on a road to further fulfilling the life of who I really am - me.
Powerful Tool!!
I found it to be thought provoking and profound. When we explore the how, when, why we act and react in certain ways, and combine it with knowing and being honest with ourselves we have discovered a powerful tool that ultimately gives us love and peace within ourselves amongst the turmoil that can sometimes surrounds us. To know that I can choose to take positive steps to achieve my dreams is very empowering. "The Mental Toolbox" workshop has been a really positive experience for me. Thank you so much.
This Guy Can Teach!!
Paul is an amazing teacher and entertainer. A humble spirit. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. I've already started my tape and I am feeling excited about achieving my goals. The course came to me at a perfect time where I am ready to make some more changes in my life.
Learnt Heaps…
That was some sweeeeet sensation!!! You guys are the best I have learnt more about myself in two and a half days with you than I have in my whole life.
Massive Help…
The course has opened many doors that I now feel compelled to go through. How exciting! For me, what makes your teachings ring true is that your lessons come from your obvious generous desire to make a difference in people’s lives.
Energetic & Exciting…
What a fantastic experience. It has re-energised my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it has been so wonderful and uplifting to be in your energy, words cannot describe it. Thanks.
Viral…
You have an extra special ability to spread your goodwill like an infectious disease and reach people no matter how closed, guarded or sceptical they are. Many thanks.
WOW!!
Thanks heaps. I was seeking a way or place to get breakthroughs and you found me! I appreciate your time, heart and investment in me. Brilliant!! Thanks so much to both of you.
Better Than Real…
You are what I call earth angels. What you do for people is inspirational! I will cherish this experience for a lifetime. Bless you with health and happiness.
Simply Breathtaking…
Your presence was vibrant and peaceful. Simply breathtaking. You teach paths in life that just make so much sense. This weekend has been lifechanging. You are an inspiration to me.
Immensely Powerful…
Your teachings are invaluable, easy to use and immensely powerful. I expected a lot but gained so much more… It is people like you who make the world a better place to live. You restore my faith in the human race as good and loving. Thank you so much, you have changed my life.
Generosity…
Thank you for an amazing 3 days. I have learnt a lot of lessons for setting new programs, especially goals. Now I know that my dreams can become reality. I really want to thank you for your selfless dedication to contributing to make a difference for so many people. You are very generous with your time, money and emotions.
No BS…
The fact that you don't waffle on with "I'm a guru - I know everything" type bull-shit that a lot of other people in your industry do is pretty special. It's obvious to me that you clearly know a great deal about what you teach, but what I personally found inspiring is that you came across as an un-pretentious, down-to-earth Aussie bloke who is happy to tell it how it is!
Easy To Do…
I love the way you have put all this info together and the way in which you deliver it – you have made the process very doable. I love the realism of this program with focus on self love.
Simple Methods…
What a wonderful combination of heart, mind, spirit and grounded wisdom. A gift to my life. I have learnt things this weekend that will be with me for the rest of my life. Thanks for the opportunity. I now have the methods that will help me to overcome my fears and achieve my goals. Thanks a bunch!
He's overqualified…
Paul’s incredible understanding of the of the world, people and human nature makes him the ultimate life coach.”
“I was amazed at how such profound ideas could be taught in a fun, powerful and simple way. He really opened my eyes and raised my awareness of peak performance and happiness in all areas of my life. I'm a devoted fan!”
Fifty Million Reasons…
I used Paul's services as the coach for our 350 staff during the growth of my business from $20M to $50M. After the business was sold he was the obvious choice as my personal coach. Ten years after we first met, Paul still stops me in my tracks with his insights and wisdom. With the start of our new business, we have taken out a huge insurance policy by using Paul's services as coach to our key people.
I laugh all the way to the bank when I think about Paul's contribution to my wealth, health and most importantly my happiness.
Miracle Cure…
Back in February 2006 I went to Sydney to attend your Mental Toolbox seminar. The tools and processes that you shared in the seminar have had a huge positive impact on my life.
During the seminar we learned about using the subconscious for creative visualisation, and also for healing. Experiencing the healing process was awesome - I had never heard of doing anything like this before, let alone actually experienced it. It had a very big impact on me at the seminar, though at the time I I didn't think it would be something I would use on myself.
In the weeks after the seminar I bought a goal book and started actively using it. This in itself was so empowering as I had never even thought about setting goals in such a formal way before. I also started regularly using the Mental Rehearsal technique to reinforce my goal setting, and of course I actually started achieving my goals.
About June after a visit to my GP I was told I had my third abnormal Pap smear in a row and needed to see a specialist. The specialist recommended immediate action, wanting to do a medical procedure the following week. The abnormal cells were advanced to the stage where he felt I was sure to develop cervical cancer if they were not surgically removed. Even then there was of course no guarantee that the surgical procedure would eradicate the risk. The recommended action meant I had to pay a few thousand dollars for the procedure and go through up to 6 weeks of pain during the recovery process.
I read up as much as I could about abnormal pap smears on the Internet and in the medical booklets I got from my GP. I realised that the abnormal cells were caused by the HPV virus so figured that if the virus could be eliminated by the body's immune system, then the cells would return to normal. I started on a course of vitamins and wrote a goal in July 2006 that by January 2007 my body would be free of the HPV virus and the cells of my cervix would be totally normal. I used the Mental Rehearsal technique to take me into my levels and created a special healing place that I went to, to visualise me dissolving the virus that was in my body, as well as healing the affected cells. I did this regularly for 3 months - between 2 to 4 times a week - and on September 20th received the news that I tested negative for the HPV virus. After this for a couple more months I used the same technique to go into my healing place and work on restoring the affected cells to normal. I did this about once a week. I knew that my body was back to normal, but was encouraged by my GP to have another test anyway to confirm (she didn't really believe me!). Anyway I now have in my goal book a letter from the GP stating that as at 22nd Feb 2007 my Pap smear was NORMAL .
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend the Mental Toolbox again in Perth recently. I felt it was a great opportunity to reinforce my prior learning and it turned out to be a great decision because I also learned a new technique (for identifying fears/blockages) which has the potential to be a very powerful tool for me. It was also a great time for me because one of my friends, and one of my work colleagues attended with me, and are now both using the goal setting techniques.
Thank you so much Mary and Paul for what you do. For me experiencing the Mental Toolbox has been truly life-changing in an awesomely positive way.
$60,000 in one phone call, then $50,000 in another one!…
Paul has been my Coach for the past three years. Having been in his workshops - I wanted some of that magic one on one, just for me. When I consider the cost of not having my own success specialist/advisor - it turns out to be hundreds of thousands of dollars. On two separate occasions I have rung Paul to run an idea past him and both times he has given me advice which has either earned me or saved me in excess of $50,000. Around here we call him the $50,000 man. I know from personal experience that the reason Paul continues to be able to perform such miracles is that he is out there "doing it" and passing on his learning's rather than just being a talking head. Thank you Paul.
20 Years And Still Going Strong…
I've known Paul for close to 20 years now since turning up in one of his early courses. In one 20 minute exercise he took me from failing my high school exams to distinctions at university. In another 4 hour exercise he taught me a skill which has since resulted in earnings of over $1M. I have lost count of the number of people I have referred to the Beyond Success Team and never once have they failed to deliver. Paul himself has had the courage, perception and insight to keep me learning from him, sometimes despite my best efforts to the contrary. I hold Paul and his legendary teaching ability in the highest regard.
It Was Fun Too…
I cannot thank you enough for the weekend, a wonderful experience full of amazing lessons. I know now this course will change my life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to change, and the knowledge of how to change. It was not only very informative but also very relaxed, well organised and FUN!! Kind regards,
