    Have you already tried a million different diets without success?  
    Are you convinced that you will never lose weight?  
    Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more? 
    Hey listen, 
    At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today. 
    Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food. 
    Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience? 
    In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double! 
    And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep. 
    Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about! 
    Don’t you think it’s time to start your Hypnosis journey?

    THE NIGHTCLUB BOSS WHO TURNED TO FINDING FOOTBALL’S FUTURE STARS 
     
    Football attracts people from all walks of life - but very few can match the story of Paul Montgomery, the flamboyant Geordie who went from running a floating 
    nightclub to spotting some of the greatest British footballing talent of the last 40 years. 
     
     
    Montgomery started out rubbing shoulders with 1970’s and 1980’s A-list celebrities such as Wham, Level 42, Bryan Ferry and Wet Wet Wet at the famous (some would say infamous) Tuxedo Junction nightclub and the Boat, Newcastle’s floating nightclub, before opening his own club and at the same time becoming a trusted 
    lieutenant of footballing icon Sir Bobby Robson. 
     
     
    Indeed, it was Sir Bobby himself - one of the game’s most beloved legends - who labelled Montgomery ‘my rough diamond’, because the Newcastle manager, alongside other footballing masterminds such as Jim Smith, Alex McLeish, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce and Sir Alex Ferguson could trust Montgomery to deliver in a 
    way no other scout could. 
     
     
    Predicting - and picking - the best young talent available is very often an ephemeral and some would say impossible job but Montgomery simply had a knack for 
    knowing who would make it - and who would flounder. 
     
     
    In his remarkable, hilarious and deeply impassioned autobiography, he lifts the lid on his incredible career change, the highs and lows of his footballing journey to the top of the sport and how he still loves the game that has given him so much. 
     
     
    Montgomery has run the rule over thousands of players in a career that has taken him from Hartlepool to Newcastle United, to Portsmouth, Derby County, West Ham United, Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Rangers and he’s still in the game today, advising Premier League clubs on who will make it big next. 
     
     
    Put simply, there is no one else in football quite like Paul Montgomery - and his audiobook describes that world in all its fascinating detail, both good and bad, thrilling and tragic.
