Remotely Influenced Virtual Hug Therapy.

My creativity has been given a much needed boost recently. I have now created a new solution and tool which I have copyrighted: Remotely Influenced Virtual Hug Therapy - RIVHT. It's quite a long name. However, it could be shortened to: Remotely Influenced Hugs. I am sorry. I have not created a cover image for this new offering as of yet. Once I have done so, I will share it in this blog and in my sites and my other pages too.

I can provide my hug therapy work in person and remotely via the internet. I have written up a PDF file which provides more info on Remotely Influenced Virtual Hug Therapy. If you are interested in receiving a copy of this PDF, please e-mail me at: anand@schooloftheremoteinfluencer.com

RIVHT can be provided to people across the globe. If you have a PC with internet access, you can enjoy the great benefits that RIVHT provides. I had conducted a unique live experiment for RIVHT via my School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI Facebook page on July 13th 2016. Here is a link to the aforementioned Facebook page which documented my online experiment.

Remote E-Warriors - REW, my new performance improvement solution.

I have created a unique online performance improvement solution named Remote E-Warriors - REW. I have copyrighted REW too. REW builds upon the Warrior archetype which my Remote Influencing (RI)\ system has included as part of The Remote Influencer archetype. The warrior archetype has many positive attributes within it. ( Please Google this topic for more info. After all, research skills play a huge part in REW and in my other solutions too. )

If you would like to read the PDF file I had written up on REW, please join my Facebook group. The PDF has been added to this group page. It's free to join. Once you have accessed the page, you can view and/or save a copy of the PDF. You are welcome to share the PDF as well. This page has a couple of my other research PDF files too.

Here are the links to my REW pages etc.

Remote Influencing (RI) can compliment Brain Training programs.

I firmly believe that Remote Influencing (RI) can work well together with, and can nicely compliment, brain training programs, initiatives. I recently discovered through analysis of my RI system, that RI can help to develop researchers and other powerful types of people. I studied the skills required of researchers. I found out that my RI system has within it, many of the skills necessary for great researchers. These are transferable skills. These skills can develop scientists, leaders, entrepreneurs, artists and countless other powerful types. You could say that these are cross over skills or generic skills. The name of the solution I am providing is: Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI.

Here are some of the advantages of Remote Influencing (RI) learning and training programs.

• Does not require too much in the way of expensive tools, equipment etc
• My book or e-book, a PC or pc's with internet access, libraries are all you will need in order to participate in Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI
• Most or a lot of the work can be done with your mind and body

In regard to the e-book as listed above, I can send you over a copy at no cost. You can e-mail me at anand@schooloftheremoteinfluencer.com and I can e-mail you over  my PDF e-book.

I have written a short consulting report for businesses and individuals. In this report, I have written my recommendations for successfully developing powerful people. Similar to the above, if you are interested in receiving a PDF version of this report, please contact me via the e-mail address listed above. One of the recommendations in my report is the implementation of a research project.

If you would like to initiate PTRI, but are not interested in learning RI, this is fine too. You can still incorporate the other elements of PTRI: Self Directed Learning - SDL, Internet Research - IR, Project based learning - PBL, Unschooling - is a form of home schooling. I would suggest adding RI to PTRI though. Your learning endeavors will be given a boost through adding RI to your learning and training program. 

One of the areas I am working on in regard to PTRI, is the development of unique learning and training solutions which can possibly help to ward off Alzheimer's in people. Learning how to do research is one of the solutions I am providing in this area. 

The Remote Influencer Archetype - TRIA.

In School of The Remote Influencer and more recently, Way of The Remote Influencer, students and monks, develop themselves into the powerful archetype: The Remote Influencer - TRI. I created a new literary work yesterday. I copyrighted it also. The name of this work is the same as the title for this post: The Remote Influencer Archetype - TRIA. If you are interested in receiving a copy of this PDF file, please contact me via my School of The Remote Influencer site - the logo above has the web address listed too. I can send you over the file via e-mail. I don't have e-mail set up yet for WOTRI.

What is an Archetype?

The original pattern or model from which all things of the same kind are copied or on which they are based. 

Source: dictionary.reference.com

In Remote Influencing (RI), we work with energy. Archetypes carry energy. When we watch action movies, super hero movies, or read about these things, we are tapping into the hero and superhero archetype. We get energized when we view or read about these things. In regard to the above definition for archetype, we can share ideas etc on what we think or feel TRIA is or will be. This way TRIA will not be bound by dogma. It will not be rigid or static. TRIA will evolve and improve over the course of time. We will all share a hand in the growth of TRIA.

Here are a couple of segments from the piece I had written on TRIA.

The Remote Influencer archetype - TRIA, is a powerful monk of the future. He or she ( In WOTRI, monks can be men or women ) is a monk, spiritual warrior, healer, leader, researcher, consultant, coach, teacher and trainer. These are the things that WOTRI E-monk are at present. They can evolve and improve over time to become other things as deemed necessary and appropriate. 

In WOTRI, we develop ourselves into TRIA. This process is ongoing. There is much work to be done. In fact, this work can take a lifetime to complete. 

In  SOTRI, the focus is on using RI to excel in the area of your choosing. In WOTRI, we use our RI to help our communities and the larger communities too. SOTRI and WOTRI can compliment each other.

As mentioned earlier, if you are interested in receiving a PDF on TRIA, contact me via my SOTRI site. 

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 

posts.

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: 

anand@schooloftheremoteinfluencer.com

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.

webopedia.com

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

virgopass.com

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.

Source:

datamation.com

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.

Source:

opensource.com

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

Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI, solutions to address school bullying.

Bullying is a widescale issue which needs addressing. It happens in schools and in the workplace. In fact, it happens in many areas of life. In this article, I will be focusing upon school bullying and my proposed solutions to this problem.

People say that bullying in schools is a normal rite of passage. I do not agree with this statement. Research has shown that bullying can lead to many psychological and even physical health problems. People have even committed suicide as a result of bullying. Many schools seem to turn a blind eye to the bullying issue. I grew up in the UK. I attended high school in the UK. When I first started high school, I had high aspirations. I wanted to study hard to become a scientist when I was older. My dreams were squashed. Bullying was the reason for this. I endured severe and repeated bullying in my first year at high school. I took the bullying without fighting back in the first year. From the second year onward, I began fighting back and defending myself. I devoted time to physical training, martial arts and boxing training. I did these things as a way to prepare myself for the bullies. The sad thing was that my education suffered as a result of the time I had been spending in my physical training. How is a student expected to learn when they are being bullied on a daily basis?

My bad experiences at high school had made me lose trust in formal educational environments. I wish I had been home schooled. This is one of the reasons I created School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI. 

Here are my proposed solutions to address school bullying.

• Parents and members of the community should form  private patrol groups for the school. This can be done outside the school grounds after school. Many acts of bullying occur after school.
• Bullying support groups could be created at school.
• Anti bullying seminars could be set up in the community. Bullies and their victims could attend the seminar/s. 
• Tough drill sergeant types should be brought in to school to talk to the bullies and to show the bullies how it feels to be bullied - I based this idea upon one of the solutions implemented through the Montel Williams show.
• Educational videos relating to the bullying problem can be shown at schools.

I hope my solutions were of help to you. These solutions could be modified and/or improved upon if necessary. 

School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI and Independent Scholars.

I don't believe in labelling things per se. I have found that SOTRI is many things. It is not bound by dogma and it is evolving over the course of time. It is not afraid of, and it welcomes change and growth. 

I developed my Remote Influencing (RI) system through a process of independent research and self directed learning. In fact, this work - ( I call my independent research, learning and training, work ), is ongoing. I am adding to the RI body of knowledge on a continuous basis. I would say that I am an independent scholar and an independent researcher. Like universities, I am doing my scholarly work through SOTRI.

What is an Independent Scholar?

An independent scholar is anyone who conducts scholarly research outside universities and traditional academia. 

Source: Wikepedia

A person who works outside traditional academia in the pursuit of knowledge and truth.

Source: yourdictionary.com

Someone who learns is a scholar, though the word also means someone with a lot of knowledge

in one subject.

A learner who is enrolled in an educational institution.

Source: vocabulary.com

Here is some great information on Independent Scholars.

"How are we supposed to evaluate whether someone's independent/'off the grid' contributions are worthwhile?" This is pretty simple: YOU READ THE WORK! If you are evaluating someone in the context of reviewing a manuscript, or a grant proposal, or on a hiring committee, you read their work and decide if it is good. If you don't have the skills or knowledge or time to do this, you have no business evaluating them. If you are simply going to say, "Well, this person got tenure at such-and-such University, I guess they must be good," you're not doing your job.

Many independent scholars have consciously made the choice to have a smaller paycheck, and less job security, because the greater independence and flexibility is worth it to them. These people are perfectly aware of the consequences of their choices, and are willing to take responsibility for them.


The idea that you can't do scholarship if you're not at a University is like saying you can't practice law if you're not in a skyscraper in Manhattan. Now, the path for how to pursue a career in independent scholarship is not as clearly laid out as the paths that lead to becoming a public defender, or starting your own law firm. This is why I believe that "support groups" are valuable, so that people who are interested in developing new models for scholarship can discover and share what works.

Source: ronin institute

I have to agree with ronin institute. The path to pursuing independent scholarship is not an easy task to initiate. I have found that I learned how to pursue my scholarship through trial and error and through learning from mistakes. I would say that it's a personal mission for every independent scholar. It's a path well worth pursuing. Society can benefit from the work of independent scholars. This is part of what motivates me with this work. 

How to send me the data for the SOTRI survey via e-mail.

I had written a post about an online survey I had created for School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI. This post was placed into my blog on June 18th 2015. I thought it might be a good idea to provide more info on how respondents can send me the data for this survey via e-mail. I find this method the most convenient and the most cost-effective way to send data.

Here are the instructions.

If you visit the site which I direct you to, open that page. Then, you can open another window on your PC. In the other window, you would go to your e-mail account. Open your e-mail and start writing an e-mail to me. This e-mail would have the answers to the 11 survey questions.

You could either write the answers on paper. Or, you could switch back and forth between the windows so that you can answer the questions. I like this e survey method. It saves trees.If you write the answers on paper, you could then just relay these answers to me via e-mail.

The answers could be typed up in the following ways:

Q. 1. Yes or Y - You could use whichever you like

Q. 2. No or N    

Or, you could write the answers as:

Q.1 Yes. Q.2. No 

I didn't type out the whole sequence of questions and answers. It's self explanatory. 

Here is a link to the survey.

http://theremoteinfluencer.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/school-of-remote-influencer-sotri-survey.html


You can e-mail the survey data to me at either of the following e-mail addresses.

School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, Educational Institution, Research Institute.

The idea for School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, came into existence while I was undertaking my basic research project: Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI. I am still continuing with my PTRI research project. However, I am now going to continue my work with PTRI through SOTRI. This is similar in some ways to universities. Many universities around the world participate in basic research.

I wrote a white paper/article which provides information to show how and why SOTRI is in fact an online educational institute and it is also a research institute. I can send over the PDF file for this paper to anyone interested in reading it. 

Here is a segment from this paper.

In SOTRI, students learn my Remote Influencing (RI) system in a self directed manner. At the same time, students are encouraged to work on an area of interest which is important to them. The reason behind this is: RI enhances learning potentials in students. RI helps people to excel in their chosen field, areas of interest, specialization etc.

Conclusion for this post.

SOTRI is not accredited at present. In all honesty, I do not have the funds to apply for accreditation. However, I aim to prove that valuable knowledge and skills can be gleaned through this school. My research can be read through my google blogs, google plus page, facebook pages, web links and articles, projects etc.

SOTRI embraces technology. In the days of old, students ( I see myself as a student and a teacher ) , would had to have created physical documents, educational artifacts  etc in order to show what they had learned. Nowadays, evidence of learning can be provided online via the internet. This work can be shared around the world with just a few clicks. 

Remote Influencing (RI) Consulting & The Mastery of your RI Body of Knowledge.

I have two main aims for Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI. The first aim is to add to the Remote Influencing (RI) body of knowledge and to keep adding to the body of knowledge. The second aim is to use what I have learned to help society. RI is a powerful tool which can help to bring good into this world.

Here are some definitions of the term Body of Knowledge.

A body of knowledge ( Bok) is the complete set of concepts, terms and activities that make up a professional domain. 

Source: Wikepedia

The core teachings, skills and research in a field or industry. Mastery of the body of knowledge is 

generally demonstrated by passing rigorous examinations at single or multiple levels.

( I would say that a person could demonstrate what they have learned through RI in the form of real world tangible results : The achievement of targets and goals. Research projects etc. )

Since the required core competencies and skill sets for almost any profession evolves and changes over the years, its body of knowledge has to be dynamic.

I have stated that there is much to learn when it comes to RI and that the learning can continue indefinitely. About a year ago I had looked up some definitions for science. One site said that there is no end to science. I noticed a connection between what I had stated and the definition for science. I had been intuitively guided to create my RI statement. 

Knowledge is power as the saying goes. Power is one of the RI 29 keys to success. When one undertakes RI, learning is of paramount importance. The RI body of knowledge is continually growing and evolving as you will come to discover. Even though there is much to learn in RI, I suggest not putting too much stress on yourself while undertaking this learning. A little stress is normal and expected though. Try not to think of the learning as a chore or an imposed task. Learning can be fun and exciting, challenging. It's good to challenge yourself on a regular basis. I use the self directed learning and unschooling approach for my RI  learning and for learning in general. I have done research into the aforementioned methods and have found that these learning methods have created deeper and more lasting learning for me. Even if you are currently being taught or trained in the traditional way, the self directed learning and unschooling methods will still be of great benefit to you.

I have found that playing the following roles can be very helpful in your independent RI research, learning and training: Researcher, Consultant, Coach, Teacher and Trainer. You can play these roles unto yourself and with your clients etc. For example, if you were helping a client with their learning, you would be their teacher and their trainer. You will benefit also when you play these roles. Through teaching and training others, you too will learn new things. 

I came up with the idea for School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, through the basic research project I had initiated in 2009, Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI. I am still undertaking PTRI at present. I am doing this work through SOTRI at present. Through my learning in SOTRI, I created a new and unique Remote Influencing consulting solution - The Remote Influencer Consulting Solution - TRICS. My intuition tells me that RI consulting is going to become popular in the coming years. There will be other Remote Influencers developing their own RI consulting solutions over the course of time. We can collaborate and work with each other so that our field grows.

I believe also that TRICS and other forms of RI consulting can fit in with and blend in with life coaching and psychotherapy. They can compliment one another. Similar in some ways to train the trainer and role playing, the main aim of TRICS is to consult with and to coach the client/s so that they strive to develop their RI body of knowledge as are we. 

Here is a link to a post I had written about RI consulting and how it can compliment life coaching and therapy.

Through developing my RI body of knowledge - this development is ongoing, I have found that when I set targets and goals etc, my ability to achieve success with these targets and goals have improved considerably. My problem recognition and problem solving skills have improved also. I am able to see things much more clearly too. The RI body of knowledge becomes a part of you. Your RI body of knowledge defines who you are and how you present yourself to the world.

Conclusion.

If you master and keep mastering your RI body of knowledge, you will achieve and keep achieving great things.   

Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI, donations towards my research.

I began my basic research project, Project The Remote Influencer - PTRI, in 2009. I came up with the unique idea for an online school in early 2010: School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI. The idea for SOTRI came about through my research involvement in PTRI. I will continue with PTRI but this time I will conduct the on going research through SOTRI. This is similar to universities in some ways. Most universities around the world are involved in basic research.

Here is a link to some info pertaining to PTRI through my web site.

I have been working with no outside funding for PTRI since its inception. I am now accepting donations for my research through a gofunding.com page I had set up recently. The donations are in UK Pounds. However, the gofunding.com page accepts most currencies. Gofunding is a safe and trusted site. I have tested the site by sending in a donation myself. It worked extremely well. It was quick also. If you would prefer to send in a donation via paypal, please e-mail me and I can then provide you with my paypal e-mail address.

Here is a link to my gofunding.com donation page.

I will give a percentage of any donation received to worthy charities such as ones related to Alzheimer's, cancer research etc.

Here is a link to my facebook PTRI community page.

The great thing about facebook pages is that they help to connect communities around the world. In this page I will be highlighting how PTRI can help society. PTRI can be replicated so as to provide participants with power to help communities across the world. The work will primarily be e-based.

My Remote Influencing (RI) Self-Experiment. - White paper, article.

I wrote a white paper, report, article in 2012 titled: My Remote Influencing (RI) Self-Experiment. I will place the paper below. I hope that it inspires you to initiate and to complete your own RI self experiments. These experiments do not have to be too advanced etc. The experiments can be things such as: Setting and achieving personal goals and targets, improving an area or areas of your life, creating education, work or personal projects. The self experiments you create can be as basic or advanced as you like. My RI experiments are on going:

My Remote Influencing (RI) Self Experiment.

I am undertaking a unique self-experiment. This is the first experiment of its kind. There has never been an experiment such as this which has been conducted before and I doubt that there ever will again. The findings and results of this self-experiment will have far reaching, positive effects in fields as diverse as business, science, technology and the arts. The name of this experiment will be Project The Remote Influencer or PTRI for short.

The aim of PTRI is to develop people into powerful instruments of good. These developed people will bestow the world with their newly acquired gifts. I know that this can sound like some extraordinary claim, but I can assure you that these things can and will happen. If a person can reach their true and highest potential, they are more likely to have the necessary skills etc with which to bring about the aforementioned positive changes. PTRI is my way of giving back something valuable to the world.

Here is a question which provides the fuel for me to pursue PTRI diligently:

Q. Can a person become more powerful, reach their highest potential, become smarter and more creative, gain leadership abilities and to do so cost-effectively and without having to use expensive, top of the line tools?

A. My answer to the above question is yes. I am undertaking PTRI myself and I have seen positive results already. These results have motivated me to persist with PTRI on an ongoing basis.

PTRI will use the following tools: My Remote Influencing (RI) system, PC's and the world wide web,creativity, books, cd's, dvd's, experiences, mentors and teachers - if needed: I am a firm

believer in self-directed learning. However, I can work with teachers, mentors and guides if I need to. I aim to prove that valuable work can be done without having to spend a lot of money and without the need of expensive tools. My RI tools are not expensive yet they are powerful. I added creativity as one of the tools. This is because RI is a highly creative system, and creativity can be used in order to find learning resources and opportunities, also. I am not bound by the tools I use and I can add more tools as necessary. However, I need to point out that even if I do use other tools, I will try my best to make sure I use cost effective or free tools.

Self Experimentation Definitions

Intentionally using oneself as a research subject.

Self-experimentation refers to the very special case of single-subject scientific experimentation in which the experimenter conducts the experiment on her- or himself. Usually this means that the designer, operator, subject, analyst, and user or reporter of the experiment are all the same.

I titled the paper with the words Self Experiment. However, the whole project could be considered an experiment. As previously mentioned above, I am conducting my RI experiments on an ongoing basis. The success of my experiments have provided me with the motivation to continue with the experiments on a perpetual basis. If you would like a PDF format version of my paper, please feel free to contact me via e-mail. I can e-mail the paper over as per your request. 

Here is a link to the above paper. The text is easier to view in this link:

School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, is now an educational provider.

On September 1st 2014, School of The Remote Influencer - SOTRI, had officially been registered as a learning provider through the Luton and Bedfordshire learning partnership. I will provide a photo of the certificate below.

Here are some definitions of the term, educational provider.

Any organisation providing training or education - from a school to a college to a workplace training specialist - is defined as an educational provider.

An organisation or individual that provides education or training services.

SOTRI is the following and it is even more.

• An online school
• A school of thought
• A flexible home schooling model
• An alternative school
• A learning and development solution, program/me
• An educational program/me

I plan on introducing SOTRI to other countries around the world. The internet makes this possible. The internet plays an important role in the SOTRI model. For example, I have students from the USA the UK and Africa who are undertaking learning and training through my SOTRI facebook page.
