TNR Happenings December 30, 2019
DCME is on January 18th
What did you hear from the top of your stairs when you were a kid? (see article below). These programmed beliefs actually limit the type of cases (degree of difficulty) that we will take on. Unless you know what’s really going on and have the urgency to do something about it, you will attempt to override or by-pass these beliefs with the common, average consensus of Below the Line academia or technique strategies to a predictable outcome: you will not do them. There is a reason why there are airport DCs, associates, franchise workers, and once-in-a-lifetime DCs.
Take a bow!
What we all did as a group this year for Christmas on the Reservation is nothing short of spectacular. It was not just enough, like just paying bills or just getting by. It was above and beyond everybody’s expectations. This is the way of TNR. One of the members of the Tribal Council asked how many hundreds of members we had in our group. What an unexpected compliment! As most of our members who have been around a while know, donations of gifts, clothing, coats, boots, gloves, and money can be done year-round. Several of our members donate each month. $100 or $200 a month won’t be missed in our lives but can make all the difference to these kids. Also, DCME participants are routinely donating 5% of their prepays and receiving a certificate for the practice member and one to hang on their wall. These add up all year round and allow us to reach more kids, especially with food purchases.
Sacred Relationship Experience is on March 20th & 21st
This is a blind spot for many. It’s the things that we choose to do that define our lives, not the things we do because we have to. All failed relationships have a familiar, common tale of woe, poor communication, and having the other person saddled with your expectations. In our society, people usually don't work on their sh&* before it infects a relationship. This is how dirty little secrets get their start and can last for decades. When the partner doesn’t live up to their expectations or chooses not to, they feel like there is no common ground. Then the solution becomes dissolution of the relationship and repeats with another partner. This sounds eerily similar to other solutions, like with war, incarceration, addiction, politics, and health care that puts profit (self needs) before the needs of others.
Practice tip of the week
Look at your walls differently. As practitioners, we get used to our walls and they traditionally stay the same for years. Years ago, I coined the phrase, ‘Talking Walls’. We would have our Health Awareness Seminar flip charts matted and framed. Then we would rotate these throughout the year on our walls. Your walls should silently convey messages to your practice members that you want them to understand. Don’t get sucked into doing what other DCs (or anyone else for that matter) is doing. Art or traditional things you adorn your walls with will only get you so far. Look at a dentist's or other health care provider's walls. They don’t have a clue because each and every one of their patients have accepted their concepts and dutifully put themselves in harm's way voluntarily. Start with a dry erase poster of the Baseline Assessment. How about the concentric circles? How about a poster dealing with health insurance? How about a DCME poster? How cool would that be? I will assist you with any of these concepts. Don’t be limited by these suggestions. Make your office unique as a snowflake or fingerprint.
From the Mind of Miyagi
What did you hear at the top of the stairs? You were perhaps eight or nine years old and had gone to bed for the night. Even video games get old and you find yourself at the top of the stairs eavesdropping on your parent’s conversations. For over a decade at MasterMind and recently at the 7-Figure MasterMind Academy and other high-level TNR trainings, these programming tales have been spoken about as major invisible blockages to being ultra-successful. They can have a profound, invisible effect on you even decades later.
Did your parents fight with each other? Were you exposed to mixed emotional messages about money? Did your parents treat each other with respect and dignity or was each evening an invitation to have at each other verbally, emotionally or even physically. A parent’s own limiting beliefs and frustrations can be crystallized into statements spoken in anger that can stay with a child forever. Some examples of Below the Line programming are: Money doesn’t grow on trees. I gave you the best years of my life. Life is so hard. We can never catch a break. I’m just trying to get by and pay the bills. If it wasn’t for the kids, I would have left you years ago.
So many DCs are totally unaware of their success programming (or lack of it) from their parents when they were small. They don’t realize that everything they will ever attempt to do is circumscribed and controlled by these emotionally charged beliefs with no exceptions. These limiting beliefs silently dissuade DCs from taking risks. Instead, they steer them into the safe, shallow waters to become lowly paid, emotional hostages known as associates or employees at franchises. Even though it’s not what they say they want, there is a déjà vu to it, an eerie familiarity that overrides the logical mind.
The superstars of past and present TNR all acknowledge the self-image work that must be done through the TNR trainings. They have the courage to reprogram these inherited, false, limiting beliefs about money and RELATIONSHIPS.
DCME confidential
Question 1: From the TNR Happenings and TNR trainings, I have heard about all the great, almost impossible results other members get. Truth be told, I don’t get these. What the heck?
Answer: All great oaks started as acorns. There is a learning curve for all members who take on DCMEs. It’s not their class rank, their IQ, technique, certification, etc. Ask them! Keep at it, attend not only the DCME training as well as all the other trainings, but how about having a specifically tailored Head-to-Head to address this issue. Remember, Head-to-Heads are completely customizable.
Question 2: I have never had anyone pay me more than a couple of hundred dollars at a time with the exception of an insurance check for a PI case. How can I ask for $4600 upfront? Help!
Answer: Start with having dual recommendations (level one and level two) for every practice member, except perhaps babies with no visible signs of challenged health.
