“My journey began with wanting to know what was possible for myself. I struggled with learning at school eventually failing the 11^th grade. I was embarrassed to see most of my friends complete high school and I was a failure. I battled with anxiety and depression from an early age. Later I struggled with many addictions; prescription pills, cigarettes (I was a 40 a day smoker), hard drugs and alcohol. I could barely hold down a job and money? Forget it! I was broke!”

Fortunately, his journey didn’t end there.

“I began to research the best people I could find in the world at what they did. I began to automatically discover meditation and my own form of self-hypnosis, although I didn’t realise it at the time that’s what I was doing. I began to change. I began to read faster. I began to understand the concepts of physics and philosophy that had always troubled me in school. I wanted to learn more and faster and so I began to study Accelerated Learning and Peak Performance, hypnosis, NLP and depth psychology. Over time, bit by bit, the old patterns began to drop away from me. I began to read everything I could about everything! I spent over a hundred thousand dollars on books and travelling across the continent and training with and learning from the best change experts on the planet!” 

What makes Dan Williamson different from most other ‘experts’ is that he doesn’t simply talk about human potential, but has implemented everything he’s gleaned from the 25 years of studying thousands of texts and multiple disciplines from philosophy to physics, from Martial Arts to Music and as such has astounded audiences by replicating some of the feats of exceptional individuals like Bruce Lee, Virtuoso guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, the amazing hypnotic influencing techniques of Milton H Erickson who was considered the Mozart of communication. Using the principles of Hypnosis and accelerated learning, he has transformed his life and pursued his dreams; including having acted in movies and Television shows and even shared the screen with an Emmy and Tony award-winning actor! He even had a song go to number one in the charts of a national alternative radio station! 

“At first, I never considered the value of this to anyone else. I was kind of selfish. I just wanted to know for myself if I could do these things and even when I shared my findings with friends they seemed disinterested. I noticed many people don’t even want to think about it because they are so filled with the fear of failure. But me? I already was a failure! I had nothing to lose! You see, I believe that we are each given a set of challenges in our lives, a series of unique discordant experiences tailor fitted for our growth and pruning. I didn’t succeed despite my failures and challenges. I succeeded BECAUSE OF THEM! Each challenge accepted, faced and overcome is a step toward manifesting the true Authentic Individuated Self.”   

I began to wonder can you really develop an amazing skill at anything? Can you really fulfil a childhood dream or is it bulls**t, was it just idle fantasy? What were my limits, how fast can I learn something; that kind of thing. It only began to become apparent later that these ideas and concepts might be of use to others. Since then, I’ve learned that helping others break through limitations is one of the most rewarding things a human being can do and it has become my greatest passion, my life’s work. It’s not about what I can do but what I can do for others and help them do.”
