This book explores the ingenious and powerful neuro-science technique called PictureSpark. It is a revolutionary technique created by Matt that has brought immense clarity to so many individuals and businesses. It’s now time to bring this proven technique to the world in a practical guide that allows anyone tired of being lost in the fog above their head to finally gain clarity through the honest lens of their subconscious.
Matt recognizes more people than ever are trying to understand their inner purpose, while businesses are trying to differentiate it. Both are ironically trying to determine their why, who they are and what they are trying to achieve but rarely do they put the two together to find the clarity needed to self-actualize and succeed in life and business.
Intuition, gut instinct or 6th sense are all forms of our subconscious and the reason it is so powerful is because it is the hard drive or guidance system of our brains. It is our true powerhouse storing the whole gamut of our lives from our emotions and beliefs to our memories and experiences. Incredibly, neuroscience is revealing that what we think are sound CONSCIOUS decisions, are in fact revelations brought up from deep down in our SUB-CONSCIOUS brain. Therefore, our deliberation over problems, challenges and conundrums isn’t actually working out the problem at all, but is more akin to treading water until our two brains connect and provide a communication channel to the clarity from our subsconscious!
The 'Genius of PictureSpark’ allows us to bypass this often lengthy deliberation by tapping into our natural reserves of intuition - thereby allowing us to discover what makes us and our business tick. So, whether we need a trusted sound board to our thinking, a strategic steer or creative insight, The Genius of PictureSpark allows us to find clarity and direction to solve an infinite number of challenges - whether they are personal, business or random in nature.
"Exceptional technique, exceptional outcomes!" LK & Associates

About the author
_____________________________________________________________
What is PictureSpark?
The Genius of PictureSpark is a swift but very effective shortcut to the subconscious. It consists of 150 random photographic images (all professionally taken by Matt on his global travels) that provide a range of subjects, scenarios and perspectives that naturally provoke different interpretations depending on the individual looking at them.
How does it work?
Once the individual (or group) has determined a challenge to explore such as ‘What are my personal aspirations?’, or ‘What are the top 5 challenges we are currently grappling with in the business?’, they stop trying to think about it and instead allow their eyes to act as a window to their subconscious. As their eyes scan the cards, the subconscious brain is immediately 'fired' and starts searching and connecting with images that resonate with the challenge.
The subconscious creates an emotional pull akin to the gut instinct we’ve all felt, telling us which card or cards to pick. The process of picking the cards often takes less than a couple of minutes. The individual then selects the images they have chosen and allows The Genius of PictureSpark to flow as the channel between the two brains connect and brings the individual crystal-clear clarity on the problem. Clients are astounded at the speed and clarity they find on problems, challenges and issues that they've previously spent days, weeks or months going around and round in circles feeling lost and confused.

Why Matt Guiver?
Matt has been on a path of discovery to find his calling but has always trusted his gut instinct on any major decision he's been face with. As a result, his subconscious has helped weave an amazing tapestry of experiences by threading 3 key motivators in his life - travel, meeting people and innovation - into an eclectic career all over the globe. This random collection of experiences was in fact the perfect backdrop to becoming an effective executive coach as it helps him resonate with clients and their challenges on many levels. Today, Matt's Strategic Pathfinder methodology is no coincidence and his desire is that as many people as possible can gain true insight from revealing their inner wisdom through The Genius of PictureSpark.
"Matt has created a unique gift to provide clarity, identify your roadblocks and help you find actionable solutions" Lorna Main
This book is being written for anyone who wants to gain clarity in their personal aspirations (their calling) and strategic direction to their business endeavors. Readers will gain an array of tangible methods to tackle the fog above their head and finally gain clarity and answers to questions they've been grappling with for far too long.
First and foremost - my clients for providing the source of inspiration in honing and developing this genius technique. This book would not be possible without their openness, trust and vulnerability in exploring their personal challenges. I am externally amazed at the clarity and perspective this technique brings, but even more so at the bravery, inspiration and determination so many of my clients have faced in realizing their dreams.
My wife Jessica for providing the love, support and financial bedrock to allow me to realize my own dream in Jumpstone International.
Nick Malone for being the epitome of a true loyal life-long friend. His support has been truly legendary during our expeditions of life and adventure but without his unwavering belief, humor, guidance and investment in Jumpstone international, I can safely say I would not have made it this far.
I am also eternally grateful for all those that I have leaned on, picked their brains, asked for advice and insight. I have been immensely fortunate to see the world, meet extraordinary people and taste adventure in travel, business and life and its these experiences that have enriched my career and provided the valuable perspective that I am able to share with clients.
Therefore, I dedicate my first book to all those that are trying to find clarity by reaching inside of themselves, discover their inner calling and dare to bring their goals and dreams to reality.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

At Finn-Phyllis Press, our goal is simple: help you tell your story in a powerfully vulnerable way, publish it so that it can sit next to any New York Times bestseller in terms of quality, and support you as you reach the readers who need to hear what you (and you alone) have to say.
We believe that every story matters.
We believe that the smallest moments of connection create the widest reaching ripple effect of change.
We believe that book publishing doesn't have to be overwhelming, feel high-pressure, or take years to complete.
We believe that authors deserve to earn 100% of the profits---it's your story, after all!
We believe that 100% of the rights to your story are your own (and should remain that way).
We believe that while most stories aren't, in and of themselves, completely unique, no one else has your exact perspective or experience, and that is your superpower.
We believe in partnerships. This isn't our first rodeo (although, in full transparency, we've never been to an actual rodeo), and it is our privilege to guide our authors every step of the way. We are proud of our no-tears-or-panic-attacks policy.
We believe in the bells and whistles that help our clients increase their impact---and leave the ones that don't in the metaphorical slush pile.
We don't have an actual slush pile.
Are you with us so far? If so, let's talk about what's next...
We are passionate about powerfully vulnerable storytelling, inspiring backstories, and yet-to-be-discovered voices. We believe that everyone has a powerful story and that those stories are meant to impact the entire world, one reader at a time.

Ingram also has a print on demand digital printing company, Lightning Source. IngramSpark is the platform that combines those two services together.

We pay you for those sales approximately 90 days later.
