How do you feel about failure and success being linked, and just being part of the journey?
I wasn’t asking the intellectual you who understands this concept and either agrees or disagrees with it. No… I was asking you how you felt about it…
One of the many concepts we’ll be looking at in this course is accurate communication with your subconscious mind. This is not usually achieved best in words, it is done best in feelings…
The idea is for you to notice how things make you feel. You are not looking to judge them, you are merely looking to notice them…
So I will ask you again…
How do you FEEL about failure and success being linked, and just being part of the journey?
§
Welcome to Saltori’s Footsteps Through Your Mind Course.
The idea of this course is to take you on a journey of discovery through your own mind and teach you how to accurately communicate with your subconscious mind.
Within a few weeks you will have almost certainly begun to see a shift in your consciousness, which will change the shape of some areas of your life. Within a few months, you’ll probably be addicted to living life at this new and higher level…
If that sounds good, or interesting then please read on…
Firstly this symbol you’ll see me use often:
§
It is there as a pause in the message so that you can catch yourself reading too fast and slow down to consider the point just made, and NOTICE how you feel about it.
These Footsteps are not designed to be consumed fast, they are designed to be savoured. Though it may take you a couple of weeks before you agree with me on that one… Because life is very fast, and we have all been trained to rush.
Virtually all people are rushing and being busy, yet accomplishing little real sustained progress… This course aims to change that for you.
Over the next few months I am going to show you many things. Amongst them I will teach you several times how to achieve more yet do less. When you master this you will find you’ll do more in a few days than you previously achieved in years…
…Though I don’t expect you to believe me about this right now 🙂
If you can I suggest attempting to avoid being annoyed or frustrated with me and the pace I am sending these Footsteps to you. It may be annoying to only receive one every two days, but there is method in my madness, which I happen to know you will thank me for IF you can avoid getting too annoyed with me.
We are trained to consume knowledge, but the greatest progress is made through the application of knowledge. These Footsteps are designed to allow you a little space between them for further thought, which will aid application with the least effort possible!
I first released this course in 2014 and to say it was well loved is an understatement. I could put 500+ detailed thank you messages here on this page and add another few thousand quick thank you messages… So I KNOW you are going to enjoy it… IF you decide it is a worthy investment of your time.
People asked me to record the Footsteps too and make them available on audio, so these are now available on audio too for a nominal fee.
In the Footsteps I teach numerous structured thinking techniques which you should find make your life easier, more enjoyable, and happier!
This course is designed to be easy, although some of the thinking it will cause you to do, may cause some temporary discomfort as your brain plasticity begins working overtime 🙂
The whole idea of this course of Footsteps is to allow your consciousness to raise slowly and in increments as you go through it.
Some lessons you will think that you will have gotten immediately, and then you’ll probably find out later that you only just grasped them.
Some you WILL get immediately and then the power of the thinking will then reveal all sorts of new things to you. Some lessons you will not get immediately and there may be times where what you are learning may mean you feel frustrated that you wish you’d learnt it decades ago…
All of this is okay!
Because this is not a course that’s designed to end… Yes you read it right.
If you want to raise your consciousness more, all you have to do is go through the lessons multiple times and you will find more of life’s mystery are revealed to you! So listening to the recordings multiple times will also help produce the desired result in a much shorter period of time…
Raising your consciousness through structuring your thinking will allow you to solve problems and achieve much, much more than living at the same level of consciousness as you are now.
I cannot overstate the benefit here…
Right now it may appear to be hollow words of someone attempting to convince you to pay for his full course. However, you yourself may get to experience the truth, IF you can decide to just go with it for a while and wait and see…
Albert Einstein wrote, ‘No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.’ Therefore the Footsteps course works on raising your consciousness which should aid you in removing ALL of your current level of consciousnesses problems.
Translated, that means… Life will probably get a lot, lot easier and become much more enjoyable!
Quite simply there is no limit on your thinking capacity and your level of consciousness… It is down to you as to how far you wish to go!
Now you may be considering, what gives me the right to talk about this subject… What makes me an expert?
I was fascinated by why people could learn the same thing and see vastly different results.
I was also fascinated by how virtually everyone is successful in one or more areas of their life, but are struggling to succeed in something else…
So since 2005 I’ve been fascinated about the differences between the mindsets of successful and unsuccessful people in all areas of life.
E.g. they succeed in business, but fail in relationships. Or they succeed in a career, but they fail at managing their money. They succeed in their relationships but fail in business.
I wanted to know why two people could have similar skill sets, learn the same information and one succeed while one fails. Something was going on and I wanted to find it, because I was curious.
When I first realised that there was something going on which caused successes and failures, I was already a very successful person by most people’s standards.
By 2005 I had been a multi-millionaire for three years, owned a successful business, owned a lot of real estate, and had a wonderful relationship with my wife and family.
So I was a success by most peoples standards….
But when I discovered the startling truth that less than 1% of people would ever become successful in the area of life they wanted to achieve success in… I became fascinated with WHY?
So people would work their entire lives and yet their chance of success was less than 1 in 100. This statistic blew me away and it really got me thinking.
I wondered why I could succeed and why other successful people could do it… But I also wondered, ‘why I KNEW most people couldn’t!?’
So why was I different?
This fascinated me and it took me five years and over $30,000,000 to discover the answer!
If I had known the question was going to cost me what it did, I don’t think I would’ve wanted to know… But it’s done now, and the answer was priceless!
So you may find this Footsteps Course from me quite valuable… I wish I’d had them!
Over the next few weeks and months I’ll be sharing with you various concepts that I designed to open your mind up to the possibility that:
YOU ‘may’ be a naturally successful person and that
you ‘may’ have merely forgotten how to do it!
§
I don’t want to overwhelm you with anything today because the first few concepts are big game-changers IF you are ready to consider them…
Everything is your choice, and it always will be… More on that another time.
Today I just wanted you to merely consider the possibility that you are a naturally successful person and all that you and I need to do, is to get you back to being the person you were born to be…
I know the voice in your head will probably tell you that you’re not successful as you’ve failed at this or that, or have no money, or have been divorced twice, or have children that don’t like you…
Whatever it is, it really doesn’t matter, because this is not the real you, as you will soon come to discover for yourself on your journey.
The real you is the one who was born perfect…
What I’m going to show you soon, is that all that’s gone wrong is that no one has ever taught you how to think, just what to think…
And when you see that for the truth it is…
Then you will see limitless possibilities opening up for you!
So today, just for today… I dare you to dream that you are naturally successful and that you are shortly going to find your way back to the person you were born to be…
How you get there is not important, we’ll cover that later…
Enjoy your day, seeing your future. Because if you silence the voice in your mind for just a little while and dare to dream, then this should make your day easier, far more enjoyable, and also happier!
Remember to attempt not to judge this to be right or wrong IF you can… If you do find you judged, just observe it and consider why you judged… Nothing more 🙂
I’ll be back in a couple of days to give you something to really inspire you.
Best wishes,
Andy
P.S. If you have any questions then please ask below. All comments are moderated otherwise I’d never see them! And please understand that sometimes I have to consider questions before I can answer them.
I was taught a specific meditation and achieved that “high plane.” It was wonderful. I saw things as if from a distance. I was in the world, but not “of it.” However, I was not warned that one should not stop meditating until I’d already stopped for awhile. Oops! Yeah, it was back to the “old me.” Have tried meditating since then, but it’s not easy, and not as successful as the first time. What’s going on?
Hi Irene,
Basically your mind is not static. It moves over time and therefore you need to create a state of mind and training routine that continually adapts to the ever changing landscape of your mind. The idea of these Footsteps is to give you an experience of what that is like to do. The full Bug Free Mind Process takes it to the living it level, the Footsteps gives the experience.
Best wishes,
Andy
Hi Irene, im just curious is that transcendental meditatio? Andy i have a question for you Andy, do you have any experience with TM and if sohow does it work together with a success philosophy like A Bug
Free Mind?
Hi Stainer,
I no experience at all with it, unless I have done it through my own practice by accident. So I really cannot comment on how it would work with A Bug Free Mind.
Best wishes,
Andy
Hi Stainer!
I meditate every day, most days I meditate twice a day. I can tell you from experience that A Bug Free Mind and meditation work great together. I’ve found it easier to go through the Bug Free Process because of my meditation. I already knew the power of “none thought” and the benefits of thinking of happy thoughts. I do both when I meditate. However, my first ah-ha moment came when Andy mentioned that your subconscious communicates with you through feeling. I’ve been having these feelings for awhile, but never knew I was communicating with my subconscious. So in short, meditation does go hand in hand with a Bug Free Mind.
Thanks for putting this brain training info together Andy!
Dear Sirs,
I thank you for your letter, I read, I believe that if you train your mind nothing will help, unfortunately it’s all about when and at what time you were born, unfortunately my life is very težakl and I have to live with it, thanks and regards from Jadranka
Jadranka, even though your life is tezakl there is still room for improvement. Remember, possibilities are limitless, it’s just that right now your mind cannot see the possibility of a better future for you. Also, even if your life situation does not change, by improving your mind you can live much more happily. Yet another possibility is that by heightening your consciousness you do the same for a loved one, thereby improving their life. Have faith, my friend.
-Alexander
Feeling very grateful for this second opportunity of Footsteps, and I thank you for the second go through on the Happiness quiz though uncertain how many lies are in there still.
Your answers to others’ questions and comments are valuable, like the one about alzeheimers. And I like your challenge:
“I dare you to dream that you are naturally successful and that you are shortly going to find your way back to the person you were born to be…”
I so choose.
Thank you Andy 🙂
Regarding failure and success being linked the answer is yes. The important questions what you, I, will learn from booth of this. E.G. today I have a discusion with my son (15 years old), he have the usual child problem at school with a part of his colleagues. I told him ( what I have lear from you) that is a time whem he must fight with his ego who teals him take on the usual way, not on this new one because he will not know what it will happen. OK I say but so you will learn new things, new ways to solve a mat problem and when he will finish the problem with a good result he will enjoy he may say ” Evrika”
Thank you once again for your teaching
I wainting for the next e mails with your teaching
Keep in touch
Bruno
I agree with you that spacing the information is a good idea. Let it settle in and percolate. Your articles are always informative and I look forward to the top quote and picture.
I want to thank you for all you have shown me, and I know will continue to show me. The “No Mind” exercise alone has helped me tremendously!!!
Let’s get it started.
Lets get it started.
Hello Andy, I feel that this will be good for me. I got your two books a year or so ago, and am only half way through the first one. I’m using the notebook to jot things down as I go, per your suggestion. I know I need to read more of it, but sometimes life gets in the way. I think this course will help me finish the book and improve my life. I’m looking forward to that. I feel I have a great life now, but believe it can be better. Thank You, Tom
Thank heavens for your comment. I have had both booka for six months and have only made it to Chap 9 in the first one. There is something there I am resisting even tho I “know” the books are of benefit.
Hi Leeann,
Everyone does this at their own pace. I have feedback from people who will not move past a chapter before they have everything from it working in their lives.
Best wishes,
Andy
Hello Andy,
Answer to your question after several readings and observing my feelings:
I feel Success & Failure are the same energy which gets vibrated with our mind.
If we have limited thoughts and beliefs of self and our world its vibration is low and results in failure on the other hand expanded, high thoughts and beliefs of self and our world results in high vibration which we call success.
We need to remember how to command our mind and observe this powerful servant, to serve us politely!
Right Andy?
Indeed
This was good Suny thanks for pondering and considering your feelings this open a new awareness and outlook it made me feel good. I thank you appreciate and grateful to you and this post.
Nat
Andy, I am so ready to begin and but now working on changing my level of conciousness to be back to who I know I can be, this creative, powerful being, and be able to manifest $$$ to buy your entire course and more!
Thank you so much Andy for having appeared in my life and being ALREADY for FREE and making a difference in my life and of course the ones affected by me.
Hello Andy/Tim,
I tried to send this by email but the address tim@saltori.com keeps bouncing back.
<>
I have fallen in love The Saltori Method and I admire Andy as a person and for his work.
At this very moment I need to generate extra income in order for me to be able to purchase the program.
I am an internet marketer and affiliate marketer (among other things). The question is: Do you have an affiliate/reseller program available for The Saltori Method?
If so, please let me know and how to proceed as this will allow me to generate the money to be able to pay for the entire system at once.
Thank you in advance and have a great day!
Hi Suzette,
Yes I don’t think that email works yet, for some reason.

I feel that before you can dream big for success, a person needs to get to know their own thinking first, and i find meditation helps me do that alot more, because unless a person is trained to be the observer of their thoughts, rather than being the victim then no dream, no matter how big will make any difference at all. Since doing meditation i find self empowerment books and courses easier to absorb,this is just my view and it does not have to be anyone elses. But i still think your work is fantastic Andy, and it should be taught in schools and taken into prisons.
I received your books almost a year ago and have read the first book twice and the second book once. There has been a great change in my life (for the better of course) and I will never be done reading them or appreciating the expense, time, and effort it cost you to provide them. Your steps will be a good addition to my ongoing pleasure.
I do not think success and failure should be linked together. Failure could lead to quitting and it could lead to determination to be successful. Each individual is affected differently by a failure. I do not like the statement that you can become successful by making mistakes or you learn from your mistakes. Hopefully you can control the number and severity of your mistakes or otherwise you should give up trying.
We will make mistakes along the journey, but the more mistakes we eliminate by do-diligent thinking and actions and by fully realizing the risks and mitigating them, then the easier it will be to be successful.
Thanks so much for codifying and passing on this wisdom!
I believe success and failure are different perspectives on the same thought/act/result. If my lens is positive/abundant, I accept what is and am grateful for either the desired result or the lesson from undesired result and insights on how to course correct. If my lens is negative/scarcity I focus on negative aspects of the experience even if I achieved the result I desired, or focus on negative self talk about my lack of accomplishment if I did not achieve the result I desired.
I am looking forward to my 2nd journey through these footsteps…I’m not the same person I was the 1st time and I have new insights to gain. Thank you for inspiring us to STEP INTO GREATNESS Andy so we can effectively serve more people.

Thank you Maria
Hi Andy,
This will be my First Footsteps, and, having read your introductory lesson today, Tuesday 14th in Australia, I am expecting to benefit much from the second daily, (very good idea), course of mental disciplining.
Thank you and in Anticipation,
Regards,
David.
Im not in the mood to read your footsteps now. I’ll check on this when I feel at peace. Thanks.
I agree that success and failure are linked in the sense that unless you are not afraid to fail you may never even try… That has stopped me all my life. Also, trying to dream of success is really hard for me. I am trying to notice my mind.. I don’t always hear words but this feeling that it is just not true.. Or I have nothing to offer. Or I have no idea how… And I just attribute it to growing up with the mentality that you have to be special or super smart or have lots of money already… I will be 60 next year and I am so ready to be rid of the bugs in my mind and to be free!!!!!!!!! I have gotten your books but have not spent much time reading them even though I was desperate to have them. I have been listening to the audios in the car everywhere I go. Resistance?? somewhat… the holidays and other life stuff more likely… But I am noticing… Thank you Andy for this gift!!!!!!!
Hi Paula,
The audios are great, but you will make big leaps in progress with the books because you have to do them slowly 🙂
Best wishes,
Andy
How do I think properly when I have a lesion with plaque on my brain? (RIGHT SIDE)?
Hi Joy,
You are where you are with your disability, however, the fact that you can write and clearly think means you can easily learn to think accurately. Your thinking speed may differ to others but the process is the same.
Best wishes,
Andy
Hey I am loving your work, but how do I imagine a time when I was naturally successful? I tried to imagine it but it is a challenging concept to visualize, because in my mind the Past me is inferior to the Now me because the Now me knows more than the Past me if that makes sense.
Hi Terry,
Yes, it is a great trap because it makes sense. The hardest thing you will ever do in life is learn to walk, the adult you could not learn it as it was too hard. So with all your knowledge and wisdom of today, you couldn’t do something the naturally successful one year old you could do. All the one year old you had was a perfectly functioning (uninfected) thinking system to achieve something so hard. The truth is, you may know more now, but you were more effective then. Keep reminding yourself of that and you may get to escape the trap.
Best wishes,
Andy
Thank you so much for explaining that, I can relate to that!!
I am not that familiar with your teachings, but I agree it is how you control and structure you thinking that will lead you to success. It seems to me that everyone I know has a tendency to procrastinate and spend way too much time with tasks that are mealiness (to some degree). They spend time relaxing and watching 4 hours of TV each day and playing video games and of course spend time on their I-pad and computer. They never seem to have enough time to pursue their dreams. If they have a job, they never accomplish anything during a work day and catch up on relaxing during their off days. Working an 8 to 5 job gives them an excuse not to achieve anything else in life. I truly believe that if they quite their 8 to 5 job, they could achieve financial wealth by eliminating that excuse of having to go to work. At the end of 20 years of working they are deeper in debt then they ever where.
I feel sorry for them, but I now believe your method of controlling your mind and knowing how to think could have helped them.
Hi Andy!
I have just purchased your audio footsteps. I think that’s a brilliant idea to
put them on audio. For me I hate reading from a computer screen, I love to
listen and it means I can play them over and over again which would not happen
if they were in print on my computer screen.
It’s an absolute bargin @ £10
Looking forward to them.
Briege
Hi Briege,
I meant to produce them before because I knew multiple listens through would be powerful 🙂

Andy
How do I feel about success and failure being linked? Alarmed! I don’t know how to see this link, so what if I am too close to failure? Comforted: if success and failure are NOT separate and distinct states (i.e. where I am doomed to be a failure all my life, with no hope of getting into the success state), then maybe it is possible to move myself along the success/failure continuum much closer to success and (maybe, hopefully, happily) learn how to stay there and even progress further. Wow! I think I just thought some thoughts. Good ones, too.
Hi Andy,
I am sure you doing great.
i have got both parts of the Bug Free Mind book. I have read about half of part 1, but there is a high temptation to start reading part 2 right away and then come back to continue part 1.
Let me know your ideas.
Thanks,
Kart
Sydney
Hi Kart,
The secret is to not get bored. So one part of me would say do what you want. But as you are bored then another part of me would say you are not engaging with the techniques in part one, as in part one you are exploring your mind and finding out what makes you tick. This should be pretty fascinating if you were doing that… So my guess would be you are in the consuming mode, and not the learning mode. So if that is true, then the answer would be, whatever you do, do not go to the second book as you will consume that too instead of learn from it, and you will have wasted probably the best chance you’ll ever have for getting all you want from life…
Something to think about slowly… 🙂
Best wishes,
Andy
Dear Andy Shaw, my most beautiful thanks for your all of your fine gifts, you have send me to gladden my heart.
May you get all the happiness that Christmas brings! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas!
Thank you 🙂
I have always been successful in what ever I have chosen to put my intention on. But I feel like I have always been in second place.
I just got the answer. I have to put my attention on being in first place.
Thank you.
If you post this, please just use S. Not my full name.
I have had many successes and my share of failures but I am now going into my 60s and feel I may have never truly allowed my creative juices to flow!! But I continue to hang on to my life, will this be helpful? I feel tied to yesterday? Some fear of letting go of what brought me this far and reaching for something new
Snap me too I am a terrible Procrastinator and want to calm my mind but stay focused, though I always let others needs take preferance over my own-(its a Cop Out -I just heard my mind tell me)I let the past dictate to much also -It does not serve me well its gone- Today is what is important!! I was making more money years ago and struggle now!
Hiii Andy,
Thanks for the footsteps course.I am very eager to resit this course bcoz I was not getting emails of individual footsteps.Now I am going to enjoy the ride again.
Success or failure is an issue of perspective and perspective is about seeing really seeing beyond the so called obvious to the spiritual heart of the matter Success or failure is an issue of expectations which is closely aligned with preconceptions Retrain the mind to see You must let go to see what is there One of best ways to do this is to draw Draw to see Drawing will help you to see So often we miss the gift and joy that is there for us because we are blinded by preconceptions misconceptions false perspectives
Is the “Footsteps Through Your Mind Course” the emails I receive? I purchased the books and I’m not sure what the “Footsteps” course is?
Hi Trish,
Yes it is.
Best wishes,
Andy
What a marked difference i have noticed in myself as i have repeatedly read these footsteps, along with re-reading CBFM.
I collect all these footsteps and save them in a folder Marked ABFM and read them again and again. Good stuff Andy….Thanks…
It would be a good idea to include a note on each of your emails stating “do not respond to this address” or this email address is not used for correspondence ” or something similar as other sites do. Just because your reply says “simply” that does not make it simple. I already have an account but have no intention of returning to my email…copying it out and rewriting it… This is not taking me toward my goal. It might be possible to include the link you are suggesting on your emails along with your other links.
This is just a suggestion. It’s your choice.
I’ve learned a great deal from you and I am grateful.
Sincerely
Maureen Stock
Thanks so much
Thanks..need this.
Whatever I study if I do not understand at my read then I repeat that thing again and again in my mind until I get the understanding of that thing that’s how I study A Bug Free Mind process. That’s why I’m where I am. Better ideas are flowing. These statements seem proudly at first but are not. I understand so.
A lazy man’s way to enlightment- I am realising this at this moment.. words are connecting written in ABugFree process..I am feeling that I am in cloud 9. I am feeling emotional also… ??????????????????
I found my question I had asked my subconscious mind which led me to this journey. The Question is ” why we do what we do?” Now I am on my second phase of my life. Now I am feeling sense of directoin..
I’m hoping to use this as a tool to be able to purchase your program very soon,or to at least, purchase your books!!!!
Thank you Andy, I am now “feeling” the success that I know is mine. Thank you for explaining what I always thought was ‘obvious’ , but in fact was far from obvious. I am looking forward to the journey through my mind,perhaps for the very first time in my 63 years.
Lawrence
Thank you Andy,
I did notice a subtle feeling in my stomach regarding success and failure being linked, also the same feelings whilst reading all of the statements you wrote in bold letter too as Ive always be a very sensitive person and sometimes knew the outcomes to some situations in my life before they happened in real time and these feelings have been correct most of the time before my mind got in the way of the and that caused me to react the wrong way towards the situation that arose sadly not for the best outcome so the non judgmental approach you’ve also talked about is a great tool for one to own in my books. I’m looking forward to the next e-mail 🙂
Andy Hello
I’m going to unsubscribe from your website but I have gained so much from your writings and teaching, and have so much respect, admiration in fact for your work and what you do that first I want to say ‘Thank you’.
I bought your books early in 2013 I think after the 2nd edition was published. My earnest hope was that my partner and I would work through them together. It would have been a great help to us both but I have long since learned there’s no way one can make any one else do something if the will and desire is not there. And I have a deep-seated objection to coercion. So the books slowly slipped below the horizon.
I returned to them later and as is my way covered most pages with diagrams and notes and approving or argumentative scribbles. And the material you have produced more recently is superbly conceived.
My amazement is roused at the sheer volume and extent of your teaching and consistently of such high quality. So I value your work and in the same breath am finding I can no longer keep up with the flow of it. I am increasingly preoccupied with looking after the leading of first one and more recently a second small contemplation group, and signs that further demands including the writing of another book, look to be on the way.
Very many thanks and best wishes for the future of what is a remarkable achievement.
