Love me? Hate me? Really doesn't matter

Hey there..


First...


I'm so sorry.


After I sent yesterday's email, I sat down to read it.


I honestly couldn't believe the number of typos in it.


And given I'd worked really hard on my talent for delivering world class typos..


It was surprisingly embarrassing yesterday.


Past me wouldn't so much as bat an eyelid at that but it's interesting what this version of me considers embarrassing.


Every Monday I host an event that IST members have come to love and hate me for.


It's called Make It Happen Monday.


It's designed as an opportunity to get things done.


But it's also a moment when tell you in pretty clear terms what you need to have in play to get the results you want.


They love me for that.


Here's why they hate me...


Too many experts live in denial, refusing to accept the harsh truth about what their practice demands of them.


It’s why so many end up with a list of excuses instead of achievements.


For instance.


When I started out...


All I wanted to do was get paid to:


  1. Talk
  2. Write
  3. Sing


Then came the rude awakening.


You see...


Talking, writing and singing is the easy part.


The hard part is the promoting, negotiations, managing and fighting...yes fighting, that you have to do in order to get paid.


And if you decide that you don't want to do any of that...


Understand that there are opportunities that simply will not come to you.


It's not fair...


But it is the reality.


And so when I decided I didn't want to be part of that nonsense...


I forged my own way and through a lifetime of trial and error...


And mentoring by the amazing Janet Switzer...


I finally arrived at a system that allows you to do things on your own terms...


I call it...


#drumroll...


The Way of the Tribemaster®: The art and science of building, leveraging and monetising trust.


But...


And it's a pretty big butt...#smirk


Like everything else in life...


It has fundamental rules that can only be broken without consequence:


ONLY. AFTER. YOUVE. MASTERED. THEM.


So...


If you’re still waiting to “just do what you love,” while dodging the parts you don’t, you’ll keep waiting.


Success doesn’t cater to preferences.


It rewards the courage and audacity to work the fundamentals till they produce the results you want.


That's a reality most of us are not open to and unfortunately that's the reality I teach in the way.


Love me or hate me...


I'm all about the fundamentals.


It's why I keep stacking wins inspite of my insanely high propensity for foolishness.


It's why I have the incredible relationships I have today.


It's why I'm literally handed opportunities I know I wouldn't even qualify for on a regular day but I still deliver with radical predictability.


It's simply my die hard commitment to the fundamentals.


So what's this got to do with you?


I don't know.


You. Tell. Me.


How long have you let your goals and dreams be held hostage simply because you wouldn't pay what the fundamentals demand?


Hit reply and let me know if you're sick and tired operating at your current level...


And you know that you're far more capable than you're currently demonstrating.


Who knows?


I just might be the breakthrough you been waiting for.


For now...


Get out of your own way.


Sensei


PS:


If and when you're ready to work with me, there are currently three opportunities for making that happen:


  1. The WayMaker™ Session: A 2hr consultation where I help you find the hidden bottlenecks, opportunities and leverage points in your practice and leverage them to create a plan for adding monthly recurring income to your practice. Spots are limited to 4 each month.
  2. The Tribemaster Practice Foundations: An 8 week installation where I work with you and 6 others to install the fundamentals of a Tribemaster Practice so you can finally build a wildly successful and highly profitable global practice.
  3. The International Society of Tribemasters®: A world class support system uniquely designed to help you become a Tribemaster™. You develop the skills you need to build, leverage and monetize trust at scale, ultimately redefining what's possible for you and the people you love and serve.


Simply ask about these and I'll send you details.
