I have a dear friend who loves to talk about the truth, he is on a mission to remind everybody who crosses his path to be truthful. When he pronounces the words t-h-e t-r-u-t-h, his voice raises. His face becomes invaded with urgency. You can hear every letter of the phrase lingering, aiming certainty. Like a beam lightening darkness. I love that about him. He is relentless with his message. Hungry for virgin ears who are open to listen. I think he is at his best when sustaining that conversation.
In the last few months I have been working with Ari Galper, the founder of Unlock the Game, coaching his Inner Circle members. He has created a new philosophy for sales professionals. A new Mindset. A new Mindset with a new foundation. The truth. An unprecedented concept in the traditional variety of sales techniques. I love that about Ari. In his own words, “It’s a different way of thinking based on integrity, honesty, and truth.” He says. “It’s like this…forget about business for a moment and think about your own personal life. Do you want relationships with people who are comfortable not telling you the truth? Well, selling is a relationship too, and you can probably understand why “techniques” endorsed by traditional sales trainers make building a genuine human relationship virtually impossible.”
Alice Miller, the polish/Swiss psychologist, philosopher and sociologist who was an advocate for children during most of the 20th Century wrote a book called “The Truth will set you free.” It’s about overcoming emotional blindness and Finding your True Adult Self. This book speaks to the true nature of the human soul, it argues that only by embracing the truth about our past stories we can achieve contentment in the present.
My father used to say that you can deceive others, but you can’t deceive yourself. Even though it sounds good, I found through my experience that the contrary is often true. It is very easy to deceive yourself. But you can’t deceive others. When you pretend being somebody else, shows. People can see through you. Sometimes you stand embellishing your act convinced that your little secret is not out, when everybody is aware of it except yourself. It is not a good scene for you nor everybody else. Incredibly, enough people love you anyway because you have so many great traits that make up for the deceit. You are a great person who wants to pretend is somebody else. After all is your life. You are the master of your destiny right? Can you imagine how much more others would love you if you were not so afraid to show your real self?
Or if they didn’t, how good it would feel to accept they are not a fit for you? And move on?
Now, why do you do that? There are hundreds of reasons. We all do it to some extent while we walk through life trying to find out who we really are. Among those diverse reasons from our different circumstances, the bottom line, COMMON TO ALL OF US IS ONE MAIN REASON:
YOU ARE NOT GIVING PERMISSION TO YOURSELF TO BE YOU.
The thing is that you came to this world to be you. The one and only. Nobody else. “Le pese a quien le pese. Especialmente a ti. ” No matter what anybody thinks. Especially you.
I’ll remind you, that not allowing yourself to be you has some constant consequences. You know what they are, you are living them or used to live them. They are detrimental.
Let’s review some.
- You have to pretend most of the time.
- Your desires are not important.
- You feel split inside most of the time.
- You feel like you are cheating yourself most of the time.
- You doubt a lot.
- You are unable to express your feelings.
- You can’t relate to other people.
- Your resentment is bottled inside.
- You become passive aggressive.
Actually accepting yourself exactly as you are, will erase all those feelings. For good.
You will feel free, energized, humbled, open, vulnerable, inspired, enriched, calm, human, strong.
In one word, truthful.
I promise.
Give yourself permission to be you.

Ari Galper, the Pioneer Visionary Sales Guru of the 21st C, who dared to bring truth and humanity to the sales equation." Luz is a precious gift to the world. She has single handedly changed hundreds of lives of our Unlock The Game Inner Circle members.
She has an effortless and natural ability to help people see the truth of why they are struggling and then provide a logical path to happiness, authenticity and success. If you get the chance to work with Luz (I know she has a long waiting list of clients), then grab it while you can!"
Suffice it to say, Luz, that you are on my “Top 10 List of Love & Power-filled Women Role Models”. You delightfully epitomize a woman who seamlessly blends ’spirituality’ with Divine power and fun humor…a far cry from the dour, pious saint of yester-century! A new breed of spiritual personification is permeating our present century, and she wears a huuuuuuuuge smile! Thanks so much for being one of her faces!
I especially want to single out Luz Aguirrebena. I’ve only spent a couple sessions with her on the mindset chat forums but can say that these two hours have been worth the price of the entire system. Her suggestions and serving cold caller coaching have adjusted my approach to one of a much more confident, calm, Luz is a true jewel: compassionate, direct, loving, and ever so knowledgeable
What was most exciting about our time together was that Luz is an acute listener and clearly articulates what can be difficult and nebulous ideas or theories in a way that I could understand and take away with me.
Anyone who senses that he or she has some kind of barrier or confusion around an issue would benefit from a session with Luz who quickly and painlessly escorts you through the Mystery in which you find yourself, shows you the highlights and helps you move on
Luz is a keen and perceptive coach, an honest partner and resilient manager. She is ably and ideally suited to focus her cohorts and clients on the important things in business, in a relationship, in life and in our hearts. She is valued and cherished by those around her as a person full of love, sympathy, concern and a practical nature that values simple, compassionate, common sense based solutions to the most intimate wrenching problems we face. I know this because she helped me through difficult and daunting times
That connection with life that one achieves conversing with you is a wonderful feeling!…time stops and one minute becomes an eternity…Difficult to express it in words…You have a gift to connect the other person with with his or her most profound being and revive situations that come back to clarify themes of the past and position them back in a more balanced and sane place in our lives.
My personal experience by your side has been very strong and I believe you have given me many tools to work in my personal development!!!
From my earliest memories of Luzma’s guidance, to my most recent, she has always been confident in her insights, but equally confident in my ability to determine what I need. I’ve known Luzma as long as I’ve known myself because she has taught me how to learn and embrace who I am.
I could think of no better way for Luzma to spend her time than as a life coach. She has always provoked a natural exchange, often by those who are in need of support most but unlikely to share it with friends or family. By Luzma being so sure in her own skin, the apprehensive gravitate toward her and they too lose all inhibition—I’ve seen it! If given the opportunity to expand her coaching, she will help countless more people reach their potential.
I am very thankful for everything you did for me during my divorce. It was difficult and painful to accept. You taught me how to express my emotions without drama.
I’m in awe of her abilities and effect as a counselor or coach. When Luz articulates her insights about psychological or spiritual concepts that I’m already familiar with, she does it with such a lightness and a clarity that these concepts become new for me and, somewhat ironically, bring on a relieving stillness. Following her train of thought has often enabled the transformation in me that I was struggling for but could barely imagine. It’s very much like Dante describes the effect Beatrice has on him in The Paradiso. Without any emotional or intellectual struggle or physical sensation, by following Luz’s train of thought, my perception of the world and myself is suddenly . . . different. . . . and easier
I was thinking about you over the weekend and about how passionate you are about what you do. I truly believe that you are a success because you have taken your passion and made it your life

An interesting article indeed. Maybe one of the few times that truth and sales can be found in the same sentence.

Thanks Prida, as a matter of fact, the old way of selling is not sustainable any more. We have to change the mindset with regard to sales and everything else. We are entering the era of integrity, cooperation, community, transparency and abundance and we are leaving the mindset of Competition, separation, scarcity and secrecy…which as I said fortunately is in the process of extinction. Thanks so much for your comment!

I was just searching for this information for some time. After hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage.
