I'm Mike Reeves-McMillan, a health coach and Registered Hypnotherapist. I used to be a technical writer and a corporate trainer, so I know how to write clearly and I know how to teach practical skills. I help people to change. And I want you to be one of those people.
Successful change begins by creating a plan, and that's where we'll start: A simple, seven-step outline of how you can write your own personalised change plan. I even give you a template - just fill in the blanks.
But drawing a blueprint is not building a house. I show you how to get from your well-thought-out plan to well-acted-out, real change.
You Can Deal With What Stops You From Changing
We all struggle sometimes to change. Every one of us can look back on past occasions when we set out to make a change and failed.
There are all kinds of reasons why we don't make the change we've planned. Lack of knowledge, lack of skill, lack of motivation, or something inside us that resists the idea of change. Even resistance from the people around us. Maybe our moods and emotions sabotage us, or perhaps it's our thoughts. All of these are met and mastered in the online course...
Seven Steps to Effective Personal Change
The Seven Steps to Effective Personal Change course is a straightforward introduction to making a plan for change that will really work. As an added bonus, you also get my comprehensive 13-page ebook, Change Techniques, as soon as you sign up.
Watch the video for a short introduction to the course...

What’s In the Seven Video Sessions?
Here’s what you’ll get in each session:
- Session 1, Your Target: How to set a good goal to pursue, and easy ways to measure and track your progress. I link you to three websites where you can keep track as you head towards your goals.
- Session 2, Your Compass: How to assess your current situation and the direction you need to head in. I identify a common mistake people make at this stage – it may surprise you.
- Session 3, Your Prize: How to identify the major benefit of the change you want to make, and how to use that to motivate you through the process of change. I point you to examples, techniques and tools to increase the value of this step.
- Session 4, Your Leverage: How to use the things you’re already doing to help you change.
- Session 5, Your Tools: How to discover and use more resources to move you rapidly towards your change goal.

What’s In The Free Ebook?
After the seven video sessions, you get four bonus sessions – emails in which I take you, in detail, through the Change Techniques ebook and some simple exercises that you can do immediately to apply the methods it reveals. These sessions cover:
- How to set your mind on course so that it comes up with its own solutions to your persistent problems
- How to improve your mood and release negative emotions so that they don’t interfere with your process of change
- How to “store” positive emotions from the past for when you need them in the future, so that you can deal calmly and well with new situations
- How to implement a simple, effective stress management practice, in just 10 minutes a day, that will make you a calmer, more effective person in everyday life.

The average free ebook you get on the internet these days is like this: Some bozo slapped it together in a few hours in the default template in MS Word, and pushed it out into an ugly PDF. It's a poorly written, poorly organized mishmash of hype, happytalk, obvious vague generalities and, just possibly, some actual information that you could find in about 15 seconds on Google. (That's if it's not just a sales letter for someone's product or service.)
My free ebook isn't like that. I very rarely buy anything on the internet without checking out the creator's free material first, and the free material better be good - well-produced and with valuable, usable content. So, on the assumption that you feel the same way, that's how I've done my ebook. It's professionally written (I made my living for nearly 10 years as a writer), logically organized, attractively laid out and even lavishly illustrated. And it contains a wealth of genuinely valuable content that you can use in your actual, real life.
I could sell this ebook, but I'd rather it sold me. That's why I've taken the time to completely revise it and lay it out afresh, just for this free online course. Yes, I said free.
A Free Course Worth At Least $100
Via your email inbox, I take you through the course, step by step, in your own time and at your own convenience. Have you ever bought a product - a book or video or CD - to help you change, and then it's sat on the shelf gathering dust? No dust on this course. The regular emails act as a reminder and a motivation to continue with your personal change plan. And it's free. You get an hour of my time, two MP3 recordings and a useful, attractive ebook - altogether at least $100 value - at no charge whatsoever.
Why am I doing this? I want to connect with people who are interested in taking action to improve their lives. I’m confident that after seeing how good my free course is, you’ll want to look into my other courses. (Of course, there’s no obligation to do so, or to buy anything at any time.)
Why Do These Techniques Work So Well?
These aren't secret techniques from mysterious ancient masters. They're up-to-date, effective and based on psychological research into how people change (and why they fail to change). But they're not nearly as well known as they deserve to be. They've been hidden in jargon-filled journals and textbooks - until now. I make them accessible, and easy for you to understand and put into practice.
