Greetings Negotiators!
In the last few days my subscriber list has climb considerably! I want to welcome all the new folks to my Negotiator’s Training Grounds. Some of the new subscribers might have heard about my website, products and services through Pat O’bryan’s recent book Launch:
So of course I now have to tell you the latest Bruce & Pat story. Before I begin the story I just want to breakdown the road to how I became the Negotiator and more recently the Dateinator (will explain this title in a minute). In 1989 I was certified in a technique called Neuro-Associative Conditioning Systems created by Anthony Robbins. I was fortunate enough to have gone to the 2nd to last 15 day certification process in Maui, Hawaii. The Certification Process was the first significant benchmark in my developing human-behavior and human-results model. The title interventionist was what I went by and still do from time to time helping couples, families and businesses break the cycle of unfulfilling results and installing-developing new resourceful processes instead. I’ve worked with and helped some of the most challenged people you can imagine.
Two areas of personal challenge were common to almost all my clients: 1)the world of personal & intimate relationships and 2)Communicating AND Getting what you want in both the personal and professional worlds we live in.
I discovered along the road of my now almost 19 years of Intervention that getting what you want was nearly an infinite market for me to apply my profession toward. I stress-tested the world of Negotiations and Negotiators and discovered that the demand was very high and the supply was very low. After a few clients created the Negotiating Results they wanted and never thought they would achieve I hung out a new shingle and my Negotiating career took off with wings and a sizzle. Thus I entered (unbeknown to me at th time) the highest paid profession in the world.
When you try something new, something new always happens! The number 1 topic that people want to learn HOW TO Negotiate on is personal relationships. The seeds of the Dateinator were planted. The source for the title Dateinator is of course Dating Coach + Terminator + Negotiator. I’m not sure I’ll keep it since it’s still kind of new, so if you have a better suggestion then please send me your suggestions. If I use your suggestion I’ll gladly provide you with my up & coming The Negotiator’s Checklist Explained audio gratis. With encouragement from clients from every genre of Intervention – I began Date & Relationship coaching. And now back to our story…
One of the techniques I used is called pattern interrupt (see #10). I was sitting at a nearby Starbucks with one of my newest Dating and Relationship clients. We were on about hour number 2 when I wondered if someone had dropped a Twilight Zone pill in my coffee. In through the door walks this mountain of a man that I would recognize anywhere because of all the public work we’ve done together – the One the Only Pat O’Bryan. My client of course was impressed that I new Pat and we hugged like to Sumo Wrestlers (I’m not tiny) would hug as is our custom.
Pat is the creator of Your Portable Empire and nothing reveals a man’s true colors as much as a behind the scenes peek into what he is doing. After Pat and I said our hellos and introduced him to my Date & Relationship Coaching Client he said “Hopefully I can work on some emails finally…” took his lap top out and proceeded to work on his Portable Empire.
If you would like to comment or ask a question about anything I’ve shared today please feel free to leave it in the comments section or you can write me directly at justask@yourownbestgood.com. In the days to come I’ll be setting up something more definite about my Date & Relationship Coaching.
I’ll see you at the Negotiating Table!
Bruce Burns the Negotiator!
