Todays guest joining us on the Join Up Dots free business podcast interview, is a guy that has an amazing and slightly strange route to where he is today. If you were setting off on a path, to become an author, clinical psychologist, popular speaker and blogger for Huffington Post would you say to yourself "Right I need to travel to Nepal and India to learn from Buddhist Monks in the Himalayas, oh yeah, and I must seek guidance from Big Bird, and Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street." Probably not, but our guest has, and now from his practice in downtown Manhattan, shares his proven strategies to take action. He believes that we are all meant to create. And he teaches people to discover their true selves, what they really need out of life – and how to make it happen. He provides them with a practical plan to find the right path for them, face what’s holding them back, and break through the illusions that have been keeping them from living a life of possibilities. And that word illusion is the key thing. Why do we constantly create these illusions that make us think that things have to be in a certain way? Why do we not think "Ok Sesame Street is the way to go" as every journey is full of experiences that can help us find our true path, if we only look hard enough. Well lets find out as we bring on to the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Dr Ben Michaelis.
