“Before I started this course, I didn't really pay attention to how I felt. I kept trying to force myself to do everything that I thought I "should" do. This left me feeling disappointed, beating myself up and less productive. From The Big Shift, I learned to focus on what I truly wanted to do with each day and worked within that. I learned to trust myself to feel into what I wanted and let that guide my actions.

I enjoyed The Big Shift because it focuses so much on experience over concepts. I'm a recovering personal development junkie, and I've always searched for new concepts to help me be better, happier, and more productive. But this never worked. With the Big Shift, I actually tried new things and paid attention to how I felt. With this, I learned from experiencing the change rather than just trying to work through theory in my mind. These experiences have proved invaluable. The Big Shift is truly unique compared to any course I've taken.”

“For the past couple of years I have been creating a plan to change my career path and have been struggling with a general fear of failure and lack of direction.
I have read a couple of books hoping to find motivation and build my confidence, but didn't find any long-lasting support for real change.

When I read the description for The Big Shift, it seemed like the program would provide the specific guidance that I needed. I was pleased to find it to be relevant, specific, and containing the support for long term behavior changes.

The part of this program that I personally found to be the most useful the call to action that's included. Eric's plan leads to the specific actions and changes that I needed to move forward with my plans.

I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to effect change but is stuck and not moving in the direction they would like.”

“I was drawn to The Big Shift because I felt that my life was stuck on autopilot, I was just cruising through each day without making any forward progress on my PhD or in my personal life. I needed a big shift, in my thinking and acting. TBS taught me to feel into my emotions, instead of seeking on-hand distraction such as Twitter or Reddit. I used to be afraid of being alone with my thoughts, but through TBS I learned to be bold and face up to my emotions, compassionately. I began to let go of the things that perpetuated the problem, the endless distractions. I learned that I cannot think my way into acting better, but I can act my way into thinking better."”

“Before The Big Shift I was knocking down all these things on my to do list, but I was forgetting what really mattered and what I really wanted. I was doing things, but I wasn’t focused, and as a consequence the actions weren't nearly as fulfilling as they could be. From taking the course I realized that taking actions on my checklist didn't mean anything; they were just check marks that gave me a five second boost of happiness that quickly faded away.

The key thing I was forgetting was how I was feeling. I wasn’t asking myself, “does this feel good, would I feel better if I did this?” I was just on auto-pilot going on with life’s daily nuances.

What changed, was it just that your actions felt more meaningful, or did you start taking action more consistently after the course?

When I get down to my real thoughts and what I truly want, it’s not so much a check list anymore – it’s a path to the life I want to live. Once that became clear the actions to realize that future became almost automatic.”
