Nobody Can Follow A Map That Only The Leader Has Seen
“A plan that lives only in your head is a map that only you can read,” as the track puts it. This page calls that the “Unshared Map”, and Dr. Steve G. Jones’s self-hypnosis track builds the habits that share it, beginning with listening first.

When You’re Working Harder Than Anyone And The Team Still Isn’t With You
Dr. Steve G. Jones, Ed.D. Licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist, and life and business coach to top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs.
Dr. Jones coaches top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs, people whose work depends on others following their lead. On The Leader's Mindset, the first habit he builds is the one most leaders skip under pressure: when someone comes to you with a problem, you turn to face them and ask, “What do you think we should do?”
Most people who step into leading others have heard some version of these:
“Leaders are born, not made.”
“If you want it done right, do it yourself.”
“A good team shouldn’t need telling twice.”
They sound like common sense, and they leave a team less sure of where it’s heading.
When a team drifts, people usually blame one of these:
The wrong people
A lack of motivation
Not enough time
Too little authority
The track points somewhere else, in one plain sentence: “A plan that lives only in your head is a map that only you can read.”
This page calls what gets in the way the “Unshared Map”. The leader can see the destination and the reasons, because they’ve been thinking about them for weeks. The team sees a fraction of that, through whatever got said in passing. Meanwhile the people closest to the work know things the leader can’t see from the front, and nobody has asked them. Both halves of the map stay private, so people wait, guess or quietly go their own way, like a group following a guide through fog.
Working harder can’t fix it. The more a leader carries alone, the more of the map stays in one head.
What fixes it is something this page calls the “Clear Path”, and the track builds it in two ways:
It takes you into deep relaxation first, on a boardwalk across a salt marsh at dawn, so the suggestions reach you while you’re calm.
It builds five habits of a leader people can follow, each one tied to a moment you meet at work, from the colleague with a problem to the decision that has been waiting.
Dr. Jones once had to rebuild his own life from very little. Before he became a self-made multimillionaire, he was $80,000 in credit card debt and living out of an office he was about to lose. How he turned it around comes later on this page.
What people are saying about Dr. Steve G. Jones’s hypnosis programs
Dr. Steve G. Jones is without a doubt the best in his field.
Kevin HarringtonOriginal Shark on Shark Tank
Being someone who is extremely familiar with the power of hypnosis, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Clinical Hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones is among the best in the world.
Dr. Joe VitaleStar of The Secret
Now picture a Monday meeting where everyone already knows the week’s priorities, because they’re on one page you shared, and you’ve heard people put them in their own words. Questions come up early, the people closest to the work say what they’re seeing, and everyone leaves knowing what’s needed and why.
Left alone, the Unshared Map tends to cost more every month:
1Questions pile up, and decisions wait for you.
2You take on more of the work yourself, because explaining it feels slower.
3Good people stop offering ideas, since nobody asks for them.
4And the vision that excites you never quite becomes one the team can see.
The Hard Years Behind Dr. Steve G. Jones
Dr. Steve G. Jones, Clinical Hypnotherapist
Today Dr. Steve G. Jones is the President of the American Alliance of Hypnotists and of the American Union of NLP, and at one time he had 30,000 students enrolled in his programs. He didn’t start out anywhere near there.
He lost his mother at an early age and grew up with his father, who battled alcohol abuse.
Later in his life came a lot of career detours and failed business ventures. He soon found himself $80,000 in credit card debt, and financial institutions and collection agencies were beating down on his door.
He held on as long as he could. After getting evicted from his own place, he lived out of his office, which he was about to lose as well.
Long before he guided anyone else, he had to find a way forward for himself.
How he found it comes further down. First, three common beliefs about leading people.
Three Leadership Beliefs That Keep The Map In One Head
You’ll hear these in offices, on sports fields and in business books, and each one makes the Unshared Map harder to see.
“Leaders are born, not made.”
If leadership were fixed at birth, there would be nothing to practice. The track treats it as something you learn, one conversation at a time, the same way you have learned every other skill in your life.
It starts by having you remember a time you helped someone, or a group of people, do something well. Most people have led long before anyone gave them the title.
“If you want it done right, do it yourself.”
It feels responsible, and it keeps both halves of the map locked away. The track asks the opposite of you. Before you offer your own answer, you ask, “What do you think we should do?”, and before a decision you ask the people closest to the work for their view.
Listening all the way to the end
You put your phone down, look at the person, listen without planning what you’ll say next, and then tell them in a few words what you heard, so they know you understood.
“A good team shouldn’t need telling twice.”
This one sounds the most reasonable of the three, and it does the most to keep the plan private. A priority said once leaves everyone to remember it their own way.
Say it, then hear it said back
Whenever you set a goal or a priority, you say it simply and say why it matters. Then you ask, “How would you put that in your own words?”, and you explain it again, gladly and patiently, until the picture in their mind matches yours.
The Unshared Map fades from view in the silence between one announcement and the next, so a leader who repeats what matters clearly and often keeps it in front of everyone.
What Comes Between A Leader’s Vision And The People Who Carry It Out
The Unshared Map is hard to spot from the front. A leader has lived with the plan for weeks. They know why it matters, what success looks like and what comes after this month, so it all feels obvious. The team usually hears it in pieces, between other work, and the leader rarely hears what the team can see.
The Unshared Map
A plan that lives in the leader’s head and nowhere else, while the people closest to the work hold the other half of the map and nobody asks them for it.
Picture a guide leading a group along a mountain trail in thick fog. The guide has the only map and strides ahead. A few steps behind, the group can barely see the person in front of them, and whoever has just spotted the loose rock has no one to tell. In a team, the fog looks like this:
Priorities that were mentioned once, weeks ago
Decisions waiting for the leader to make them
Questions people have stopped asking
Good work that nobody acknowledged
None of it comes from bad intentions. A plan that’s obvious to the person who made it simply doesn’t travel by itself.
So leading people well starts with getting the plan out of your head and into theirs, and their view of the ground into yours.
Build A Clear Path People Can Follow
The Clear Path
This page’s name for what the track builds while you listen, from its own words: “When people can see the path, they can walk it with you.” You listen first, say what matters with the reason behind it, hear it said back, and explain every decision in plain words.
With a clear path in front of them, people can take care of the details themselves, and the leader can keep an eye on what comes next.
Sharing the map changes two things:
People understand what’s needed and why, so they can act without waiting for you.
Problems reach you early, while they’re still small, because people know you’ll listen.
“Is My Plan Still An Unshared Map?”
There’s a quick way to check, and it takes seven seconds.
Think of your team’s most important priority right now. Press start, and for seven seconds picture each person on your team putting it in their own words.

Whatever turns up says nothing about you as a leader. It’s only a game, not a test.
A map stays unshared through a few everyday habits.
Everyday Habits That Leave A Team In The Dark
Three of them keep it that way without anyone noticing:
Keeping the plan in your head. The track has you write the week’s few most important priorities on a single page at the start of each week, and share it.
Answering before listening. When the leader always has the first word, people stop bringing what they know. The track has you ask what they think, then listen all the way to the end.
Letting a decision wait. A decision that drifts leaves everyone guessing. The track has you give it a time, ask for views, decide with the best information you have, and explain what you decided, why, and what would make you look at it again.
What a team needs is a clear path forward, and for that, the map has to be shared in both directions, often and plainly.
How Steve Found His Way Back To Solid Ground
Living out of an office he was about to lose, Steve reached a turning point. He discovered a way to reprogram his mind to attract everything he needed, and to put systems in place that got his life back on track.
Using a combination of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and a specific framework for happiness and success, he developed the Dream Life Mastery program for getting the results he wanted.
Today he manages 22 training certification programs in hypnosis and NLP, and he serves as a life and business coach for top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs.

What The Track Builds While You Listen
The track works in two stages, and between them they build the habits of a leader people can follow:
Listen firstWhen someone brings you a problem, you turn to face them, ask what they think and listen all the way to the end.
Make the path clearYou say each priority simply, with the reason it matters, and ask people to put it in their own words.
Decide clearlyA waiting decision gets a time, the views of the people closest to the work, and a plain explanation.
Meet problems with the next stepOne slow breath, then “What do we need to do to resolve this?”, and a calm look back afterwards.
Keep your wordBefore a promise you ask, “Can I keep this?”, and if something changes, you say so early.
Give credit freelyYou thank people for good work and name exactly what they did, in front of others.
A clear, calm start
The first stage relaxes you deeply. After three slow breaths you stand on a wooden boardwalk at the edge of a wide salt marsh, early on a calm autumn morning, with the first warm sun on your face. Steve counts from ten down to one as you walk out to a bench at the water’s edge, and a flock of geese passes overhead in a long V, the bird at the front taking the wind and another moving up when it tires.
Leaders spend most days surrounded by noise. With that noise tuned out, the suggestions that follow get your full attention.
This first stage is deep hypnotic relaxation, and it opens every listen.
Five habits, each tied to a moment
The second stage takes the habits one at a time and ties each to a moment you’ll meet: a colleague arriving with a problem, a priority being set, a decision that has waited, something going wrong, a promise about to be made, good work happening in front of you. Several times Steve goes quiet for about twenty seconds while you see yourself leading well in one of those moments.
Wouldn’t a leadership book do the same? A book tells you what good leaders do. The track has you rehearse doing it, in deep relaxation, in the moments where the old habit usually takes over. The swaps look like this:
The old habitThe new one
“Here’s what you should do.”“What do you think we should do?”
“They should know what I mean.”“How would you put that in your own words?”
“Whose fault was this?”“What do we need to do to resolve this?”
This second stage is self-hypnosis, and together the two stages build the Clear Path.

It also asks you to keep growing as a leader. You learn from leaders you admire, and every so often you ask the people you lead, “What is one thing I could do to make your work easier?”, then act on what you hear.

“I’ve been inspired to live out my dreams”
My appreciation for your work and the positive impact it’s made on my life is far more than I’m able to describe here. However, I’ve been inspired to live out my dreams and have actually taken real steps towards its realization in the past few months. Your Fan, Student & Friend.

WOW! No wonder Steve is the leader in hypnotherapy. How lucky are those who have had the benefit of his genius!
Jeraldine SaundersCreator the Love Boat TV series
What Would It Be Worth To Lead A Team That Knows Exactly Where It’s Going?
Think about handing over a project and knowing it’s in good hands, or watching someone on your team grow into a leader themselves. That’s where the track’s look a year ahead ends: the people you lead taking on more, some of them leading others with the habits they learned from you.
Sharing the map could give you:
A team that understands the priorities and the reasons behind them.
Meetings where people speak up, bring their ideas and solve problems together.
More of your own time for what comes next.

What people are saying about Dr. Steve G. Jones’s hypnosis programs
“I just listen and notice the change.”
I have been lucky enough to be able to listen to Steve Jones’ recordings for about 7 or 8 years. I have always believed in hypnosis and have found these recordings to be effective and very useful. I just listen and notice the change.

“open a new door to a new path”
I would highly recommend you and your site to anyone who is fed up with the way things are now, this minute, and want to open a new door to a new path. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

At The Next Big Project, Who Will Be Able To See The Path?
It’s easy to carry on as before, holding the plan in your head, answering before anyone else has spoken, and filling the gaps by doing more yourself.
Meanwhile the Unshared Map stays private in both directions. Questions wait for you, decisions queue up, and the people who could be taking care of the details hold back what they know.
Or you can start today. Put on your headphones somewhere quiet, press play and let the track build the Clear Path while you relax.
Keep listening every day and you lead differently. You ask what people think before you answer, you say what matters and hear it said back, and when something goes wrong, the first question you ask is what needs to happen to resolve it.
It’s this page’s name for a plan that lives in the leader’s head and nowhere else, while the people closest to the work hold the other half of the map. It shows up as questions that pile up, decisions that wait for you and people who aren’t sure where things are heading.
What is the Clear Path?
It’s this page’s name for what the track builds, in its own words “When people can see the path, they can walk it with you”: listening first, priorities said simply and heard back, decisions explained, and promises kept.
Do I need a management title to use it?
No. The track is about the habits of leading people, and you can use them to lead a team, a project, a business of your own, a sports team or a volunteer group. It starts by having you remember a time you helped people do something well, and most people have done that long before any title.
How long is it, and when should I listen?
About 38 minutes, with music. Listen anywhere quiet where nothing will disturb you, sitting or lying down, at any time of day. The track ends by bringing you back to full alertness, ready to continue your day. Never play it in a moving vehicle, and if you’re under a doctor’s care, check with your physician before using it, as Dr. Jones says at the start of the recording.
How fast will I see results?
Everyone is different. Many people feel calm and relaxed from the very first listen, and the new habits build each time you play it. That is why Steve suggests listening every day for a minimum of two weeks, and longer if you like.
Does your program cater specifically to me?
Yes. The program is built on broad human psychology, with techniques, tips and methods that people have used for thousands of years, so it suits adults of any age. Whether you're 21 or 61, it is never too early or too late to start building better habits.
When will I get the Program?
This is a digital file. You'll get the entire program in just five minutes from now. In fact, it could be sooner depending on your internet connection.
What format is the program and will it work on a phone?
The self-hypnosis file is mp3 format which means it can be downloaded to a phone, tablet or computer, or any other device to easily access it instantly.
What is your refund policy?
We have a 30 day money back guarantee. If you decide that the program is not for you within 30 days, then we'll refund every penny, no questions asked.
What if I have extra questions?
No problem. It would be great to hear from you. We would love to help you personally if you have any extra questions. Please email us at support@dreamlifeprogram.com. We'll respond as quickly as possible.
I’m ready. What do I do next?

Listen First And Make The Path Clear, One Conversation At A Time
The Unshared Map costs a team quietly, one missed conversation at a time, and it’s easy to blame the team for getting lost.
Dr. Jones went from living out of an office he was about to lose to coaching top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs, and the change began in his own mind. That’s where this track goes to work, too.
