A neighbor popped his head in to offer his mother bags of groceries. Behind that neighbor was another, and another, with twenty bags of groceries.

His mother, he says, taught him how to turn fear into faith.

Everything that has happened to me in my life has been a part of the process of me becoming who I am now, Marshall wrote in his book, Passion, Profit, and Power.

In his book, Marshall Sylver uses pieces of his incredible life story to teach powerful lessons on programming the subconscious mind. 

Expansion thinking is one of those lessons. One day, wrote Marshall, he found himself scraping through his couch for change to buy a box of macaroni and cheese – not the milk or butter to make it properly, but just the pasta and cheese mix. Frustrated, he sat down to deal with his emotions. “Enough!” he told himself. He was done being this poor, done not being able to eat. If other people can get the things they want, he wondered, why couldn’t he. “I realized,” he wrote in his book, “my life had come to a place where my dreams had died.”

He was not ready to give up on those dreams, so he sat down and began envisioning every detail of the perfect day in his future. He spared no bit of imagination, from a gourmet chef preparing breakfast, a home aviary exploding with song from exotic birds, an office with enormous salt water fish tanks on display, to a private helicopter whisking him and his beautiful woman off to a romantic dinner before he returned to perform for a packed crowd.

This exercise works, says Marshall. The day he first wrote his vision down, he was on the brink of being evicted from a building he managed. He had barely any food and was even less stocked in the friends department. Other than people he owed money to, he was virtually unnoticed in the world. 

Eight years after the day he first practiced expansion thinking, most of what he’d envisioned for himself had become reality. Today Marshall Sylver is a world renowned hypnotist, and a leading expert on subconscious reprogramming and irresistible influence. Wealthy clients pay thousands of dollars a month for personal coaching and mentorship and Fortune 500 Companies can’t get enough of him. He’s spoken on stages with more than one future or sitting president and his shows pack the house. 

The Certainty Theatre is one of  Marshall’s new projects. Scheduled to have opened recently, the Certainty Theatre is poised to explode with the imagination and showmanship of Marshall the moment Coronavirus restrictions are lifted. He worked hard to make that happen. 

Marshall Sylver was just 10 years old when he got his first job.

He weeded fields for a dollar an hour, forty hours a week, to contribute to his family. He had his own paper route too. He was 14 when his mom moved him and his 3 younger siblings from Michigan to San Diego. Her social worker income was barely enough to make ends meet, so Marshall immediately jumped into action.

A cold call to the local magic shop introduced him to the young entrepreneur who became Marshall’s first true mentor. Chuck Martines was just 23 years old when he hired young Marshall. Five years later, Chuck had made 60 million dollars by launching Halloween stores, and he taught Marshall the ins and outs along the way.

Marshall had his first experience with hypnotism at 16 years old, when he was hypnotized. That was a life changing moment for him, but his path to success was not going to be smooth.

Marshal spent years wrapped up in drug addiction and recklessly bouncing around. By the time he was 23 – the same age Chuck had been when he realized his own path to success- Marshall had been to the lowest points in his life and was ready for a change.

He spent his last money on a session and training with a hypnotist, emerging with the knowledge that he’d found his calling; He’d use hypnotism to help people learn the lessons he’d learned so painfully. 

HIs own experiences and the knowledge he’d gained merged in his mind. Marshall applied it all to his first personal development course and made $100 million in the first year of sales. 

He’s never looked back.
