Author: Jason Linett

Rating: Excellent
For you hypno-students and newer hypnos out there, let me
tell you a harsh reality:
In a survey of over 1300 working hypnos, fewer than one in
three were actually seeing as many clients as they wanted. Over 60% of
respondents were earning less than $1500 per year seeing clients.
That information speaks to a harsh realization all
professional clinical hypnotists have to make:
Being a good hypnotist is not enough. Unless you’re one of
the few who goes to work at hypnosis center where someone else handles all the
marketing, promotion, and booking—you have to become a solo entrepreneur. You
have to get excited about business. And you have to educate yourself on how to
succeed.
Now, there are a lot of practice building courses out there.
Some are good, and some were written by people who had spare time because they
didn’t have enough clients.
And then there’s the Hypnosis Business Boot Camp by Jason
Linett. It is truly exceptional. Not only is Linett a great presenter, but he’s
been there. He’s built his practice (which is now a multi-practitioner center)
from the ground up, and he remembers what it was like to be hungry. He
understands that the new hypno doesn’t have a piles of advertising cash lying
around, so he focuses on no-cost to low-cost methods that definitely work. He
also knows that time is precious, so he shares fantastic techniques for
automating your marketing. His empathy for the struggling hypnotist and
generosity with his knowledge both shine in the HBBC.
So what is it exactly? Well, even though it’s called a boot
camp, Linett doesn’t yell like a drill sergeant or try to tear you down, but he
is out to make you into a whole new person when it comes to your marketing and
business management. It isn’t personal coaching, and it’s also not a step in a
sales funnel. It’s quite simply a series of talks and resources that reveal the best
techniques and approaches Linett has used to build a very successful practice.
Joining the HBBC grants you access to the boot camp website,
which is jam-packed full of information that is nonetheless compiled in very
clean, easily accessible ways. There’s over 25 hours of video. Don’t have
enough time to watch that much video? You can do what I did, and download the
whole thing as mp3s. (I listen during my commute.) Want to search for that little bit you need to review, or do you simply respond better to written material? Linett gives you the entire course
transcribed on a 300+ page PDF.
Hypnosis schools take note: That’s how you deliver content!
What does that content cover? Phone strategies, lead
generation, website construction and optimizing, automation, networking,
campaigning, video marketing . . . the list could keep going. There’s even a
bonus section full of useful forms, documents, and articles, plus a complete
email campaign for smoking cessation, ready to cut and paste right into your
own system. It’s quite possibly everything you need to know to have a great
start on building your practice.
And it keeps growing: The website is dynamic, so Linett can
(and does) add new content. As if that weren’t enough, membership also gets you
invited to Linett’s very active Facebook forum, where he answers student
questions and shares new insights almost daily.
To be honest, I’ve been reluctant to write this review,
because it’s unseemly for a reviewer to gush. But there’s no way around it.
This is hands-down the best hypnosis business course I've ever taken.
Now, I always find something to criticize—otherwise, you
wouldn’t believe this is a real review, right?—and I did find one little thing
to niggle at in Linett’s video presentations. While he’s very comfortable in
front of the camera and has high production values, he hasn’t learned the habit
of repeating questions from the audience so that those of us listening to his
mic feed will know what the question was. So that’s a little confusing as we
guess the question based on his answer.
That’s literally the only thing I can complain about.
After getting good training as a hypnotist, Linett’s HBBC is
the next and best investment any budding (or experienced but struggling) hypno
should make.
Now, I know, for a new hypnotist, a price tag of $495 might
seem daunting—but let me tell you that when Linett first allowed me to access
the beta version of HBBC, he was planning to price it in the $700 range. The truth is, he could have simply taken his
phone strategy, just one small portion of this course, and sold it as a
stand-alone for that price. Instead, he decided to bring the price for this
course down to $495, even though I’d say it’s at least a $3000 value.
And at my request, he’s gone one better for the readers of
my blog. When you sign up, enter the promo code REVIEWS (in all caps) for 10%

Seriously, if you’re a struggling hypno, and you don’t have
the cash to purchase this course, get a credit card and pay it off in small
chunks over the next year. It’s worth it.
Full Disclosure: Jason Linett was kind enough to give me
access to HBBC to facilitate this review. We’d never met before when he did
that, so I was ready to say, “I don’t know this guy, and here’s what I think of
his product.” However, through taking his course and joining his forum, I’ve
come to regard Linett as a friend and mentor. However, rather than thinking
that has biased my review, I think it speaks to the reasons I’ve given
HBBC my highest recommendation.
