Way of The Remote Influencer - WOTRI, online self-help support group.

I will be forming an online self-help support group through my Way of The Remote Influencer blog site: wotri.org
I am a firm believer in the power of groups. I have written a chapter about Remote Influencing (RI) and groups in my book. Groups are powerful as they are. However, once RI has been infused into the group, the power of the group is magnified. The group becomes more powerful. Meaningful change and improvement can manifest itself through RI groups.

I suffer from anxiety. It can get pretty bad at times. I have been using Facebook as a hybrid support group. I have been exchanging Facebook e-mail messages with one of my friends. He suffers from anxiety too. I / we have found these online exchanges very helpful. I cannot disclose the name of my friend. It would be unethical and unprofessional of me to do such a thing. The great thing about this form of support is the fact that we are already using Facebook for our social interactions. We can remain logged into our Facebook accounts and we can also offer each other online support at the same time. During our support sessions, I / we have also provided each other with pertinent web links, articles etc.

The proposed support group can be hosted through my web site as listed above and/or it can also be hosted through my Facebook pages and/or my Google plus pages. I will also look into other support group platforms. Online support groups can be powerful tools in the healing process. My group will focus on anxiety and depression. It will also cover various life issues, situations etc. Personal development will play a part in this group as well. Remote Influencing (RI) is a form of personal development after all. This group is open to people across the globe. Distance is not a problem for people wanting to join this group.


Here is some great info on online support groups.


Support groups have long offered companionship and information for people coping with diseases or disabilities, and online situationally oriented groups have expanded to offer support for people facing various life circumstances, especially those involving personal and cultural relationships.

A convenient aspect of online support groups is the around the clock availability to its members. People can go online to blog or chat with others anytime of the day or night. There are no time constraints like there potentially would be with an in-person support group with scheduled meetings. Access to help is always available with online support groups.

My Remote Influencing (RI) Self-Experiment and the implications it has for science.

I began PTRI as a basic research project. I am still working on PTRI as an ongoing basic research project. However, I am also conducting self-experiments under the same banner. I am balancing the two activities through trial and error. I have found that these two activities can blend in with and they can compliment each other. 

One of the by products from my Remote Influencing (RI) research, learning and training - PTRI, was the fact that I had found that I had become smarter, more creative, and a  better learner through these practices. As mentioned in previous posts, I came up with the idea for School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, and more recently, Way of The Remote Influencer - WOTRI, through the work I had been doing under PTRI.

The science world will benefit from exploring what can be done through PTRI. If people can enhance their learning potentials, become smarter, more creative, better problem solvers etc, imagine the advances that can be made in the world. PTRI helps people to become better at whatever it is that they do. My working memory has been given a boost too. 

The great thing about PTRI is that it can be done online without having to spend any or much money at all. If you have access to a PC and the internet, you will have the tools necessary to take part in this project. This project can be replicated quite easily. I will write more about this project in future

Way of The Remote Influencer - WOTRI, E-Monks.

I came up with a new piece of literary work a few days ago. I have named this work, E-Monk. I have copy righted this PDF file as well.

According to some online research I had conducted, a literary work can even be as small as a single page of text. If you are interested in receiving a copy of this PDF file, please contact me via my
email address: anand@schoolofthermoteinfluencer.com

I do not have an email address set up through my WOTRI blog site.

Here is a link to some more info on the above topic.

Way of The Remote Influencer - WOTRI, Online Monastery.

As you are aware, I have been following a monk like way of life for several years now. I opened a Wordpress blog site for my new Way of The Remote Influencer online monastery on February 8th 2016. I bought the domain name for this new organization too: wotri.org

I decided to use the acronynm instead of spelling it all out - WOTRI. The Remote Influencer is a powerful archetype of the future. I am developing myself and others into The Remote Influencer through School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI and Way of The Remote Influencer - WOTRI.

The Remote Influencer is a monk. He or she, The Remote Influencer can be a man or a woman, is also a healer, leader, researcher, consultant, coach, teacher, trainer and a change agent. This list is not set in stone. It is evolving and expanding over the course of time. You might ask how one would become The Remote Influencer. The answer is: Through worship, research, learning and training.

One of the greatest advantages of becoming a monk through WOTRI, is: You will learn how to make good things happen for yourself and others. There is much to learn when it comes to becoming a WOTRI monk. However, it is well worth the effort. I will write more about WOTRI in future posts.

Here are the links to my WOTRI blog site and my WOTRI Facebook page.

How I had predicted certain events and outcomes through School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI.

I am in the process of looking for employment and I am working on my own business idea at present. On Sunday December 13th 2015, I had typed up a PDF file titled: SOTRI basic business model. I was scheduled to meet with a business adviser regarding my proposed business idea - School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, on Monday December 14th 2015. I had created the PDF file as aforementioned, to take with me to show the adviser.

Here are some of the things I had written in my PDF file.

I am following SOTRI myself, as a self-experiment of sorts. I have become smarter and more creative, more confident etc through the research, learning and training I am doing through my school. My work will testify to this fact.

Here is one of the 10 bullet points I had written in my PDF file.

• The key word here is 'remote'. I promote remote working, freelancing, independent contracting.

I was not chosen to be in the new enterprise allowance scheme. My adviser told me that I needed to do more research for my proposed SOTRI business. I agree with his advice. If anyone is interested in reading my PDF file, please feel free to contact me via my e-mail address:

Here's how I had predicted certain events and outcomes through SOTRI.

Yesterday, Monday December 14th 2015, I had received a call back from one of the jobs I had applied to. The company I had applied to provides web sites and related products and services to small and mid sized businesses. The director of the company was considering hiring me on a freelance basis for independent sales development work in the new year, 2016. My bullet point above, proves that I had intuitively predicted an event happening in the future. I keep a record of the RI work that I do and I also document my ideas in PC files. I suggest to my students that they do the same. It's a worthwhile process to undertake. You can keep a track of how your RI is working when you do this.

I had written about independent contracting in my ATO consulting blog a while back too. Even though I did not get approved to be in the new enterprise allowance scheme, I am still confident that SOTRI does work, and it works well too. I will grow SOTRI independently and organically. Article 9: Freedom of thought, conscience and religion, states the following:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.

I believe I can help myself, others, events, situations and outcomes through the research, learning and training I am undertaking through SOTRI. This is part of what I believe. Therefore, I will continue my work with SOTRI. Regardless of whether I ever receive funding for SOTRI or not, I will still provide my research, consulting, freelance, independent contracting work for clients, as this is part of the work I provide though the SOTRI umbrella, and it is part of my belief system as well.

Remote Influencing (RI) consulting Vs , or as an adjunct to Life Coaching.

In my book, The Remote Influencer 2, I wrote a chapter about Life Coaching and Remote Influencing (RI). In this chapter, I wrote about the connections between RI and Life Coaching. I believe RI consulting can go hand in hand with Life Coaching. They can both mutually benefit each other and they can compliment each other too.

Life Coaching has its roots in executive coaching and financial planning. Most new systems evolve out of existing systems. Or, they are off shoots or spin off''s from existing systems or ideas. Please look out for my previous posts on RI consulting. My RI consulting, coaching and training services would fall under the name: The Remote Influencer Consulting Solution - TRICS. It's quite a long name. To simplify it, the work would be deemed as Remote Influencing consulting. I sense that there will be other RI practitioners offering their RI consulting and coaching services over the course of time. This is a good thing. 

In my RI consulting solution, I aim to help the client to become an RI consultant unto him/her self. They would be encouraged to play the following roles: Researcher, Consultant, Coach, Teacher and Trainer. They can play these roles for themselves and for others. I have added elements of 'train the trainer' to TRICS. When it comes to the research aspect, I advocate independent self directed learning for the client. There is much to learn when it comes to RI. This learning does not have to be stressful. It should be enjoyable and it should not seem like a burden. The RI body of knowledge is continually expanding. It is not bound by dogma and it is not rigid. The rules are not set in stone. 

The key word here is 'Remote'. RI consulting can be done online, over the phone - as in life coaching, and e-therapy, skype, fax. social media, instant messaging and in person if necessary. 

The Remote Influencer Training Program - TRITP open source product.

In this post, I am going to write about my motivations for wanting to offer TRITP and some of my other PDF digital download products as 0 cost open source offerings. I can send more info on TRITP as per your request. I recently discovered through my research, that TRITP, School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, and my other proposed business offerings would all fall under the human resources -  HR learning and development umbrella.

I am offering TRITP at a very reasonable price via my facebook ATO consulting DOT COM  web site. However, I have also decided to offer TRITP as an open source download, or a physical download product at 0 cost as mentioned above. I am sure most people would prefer the open source version. It depends on which version people prefer. If you would like a physical version which you can hold in your hands, I can mail one over to you - via postal mail. I would ask for postage costs in this scenario though - I would not charge for the product itself. Or, I could e-mail you over the PDF file. The advantage to this option is that you would not have to wait for the product to arrive. It can arrive to your e-mail address within a few minutes or less. This would be the case even if you are on the other side of the world. This is the power of technology for you.

TRITP and my other offerings are digital products. I will define digital products below.

Digital product definitions.

In electronic commerce, digital goods is a general term that is used to describe any goods that are stored, delivered and used in its electronic format. Digital goods are shipped electronically to the consumer through e-mail or download from the internet.

Examples of digital products include e-books, music files, software, digital images, manuals in electronic format, and any goods which can be electronically stored in a file or multiple files.

Some good examples of such goods are music albums, e-books and software.

Paypal defines digital goods as goods that are sold, delivered, and used in an electronic format. This could include, but is not limited to, e-books, music files, videos, software, digital images, manuals in electronic format and virtual goods that may be sold in the context of a game.

Open source beyond software.

At a press conference earlier this month, Wordpress founder Matt Mullenweg told attendees, 'not just software, but everything should be open source'.

Apparently, he's not the only person who thinks this, because open source philosophy is spreading far beyond the software industry.

At opensource.com, we like to say that we're interested in the ways open source can be applied to the world beyond software.

The world is full of  'source code' - blueprints, recipes, rules - that guide and shape the way we think and act in it. We believe this underlying code ( whatever its form ) should be open, accessible, and shared - so that many people can have a hand in altering it for the better.

In essence, I am sharing the findings of my research to the world at no cost. I developed my digital products through solid research. I am impressed with the open source philosophy. I will conduct some more research into open source as part of my ongoing research project. In regard to the open source aspect of TRITP, SOTRI etc, if users of my products were to come up with unique ideas of their own, in regard to these products, they are more than welcome to share these ideas with me. This way, TRITP and SOTRI can continue to evolve and improve over the course of time.

Through analyzing my products, I came to realize that an adept self directed learner, or people that are willing to develop their self directed skills, could do their own research into the areas I have covered in my products, and they too would end up becoming more powerful through their efforts.

I have found that TRITP and SOTRI have worked extremely well for me. I have become smarter, more creative, more powerful and a better leader through the use of these digital products. I now want to share this knowledge with others. I also like the fact that my work is done online. I do not have to use paper in my work. My work is environmentally friendly.

I would not charge clients for the download products. I would only charge clients reasonable fees if they wanted to purchase consulting, support, training, coaching services related to my digital product offerings.

If you would like to receive the TRITP and SOTRI pdf digital download products at 0 cost via e-mail, please shoot an e-mail over to me: anand@schooloftheremoteinfluencer.com
