The Negotiators Secrets

Greetings Negotiators!

My Master Mind took a little break in our schedule recently for various wonderful reasons including my 13th Wedding Anniversary. Last night we picked back up and nothing is as amazing as revving up your creative process as joining others to realize your unlimited power. The daily grind has a way of mesmerizing you to the beat of your own routine. Master Mind is a group of unique beats and rhythms all designed to release your creative passion and inspire you to right action which of course allows you to negotiate to your own best good!

What’s really great about Master Mind is that each person in the group is in their own “place” in the world of creating abundance and mastering the law of attraction. That allows each of us to look at the others and either remember resourceful patterns we’ve already discovered and might have set aside or discover new resources and patterns that truly allow you to spring to the next level.

The group I belong to is my first group. I’m so grateful that it’s a strong and focused group. All the details that seem to go into forming and maintaining a Master Mind can be overwhelming in the beginning. All I can say to any of you who haven’t tried it is that first hour of Master Mind will be so strong and so inspiring that the lure of repeating the experience will easily become a resourceful habit.

Thank you Bill Hibbler for demonstrating Master Mind at Unseminar 3. I know we break a few rules that Joe Vitale and Bill Hibbler lay out in Meet and Grow Rich. Our general attitude toward Master Mind is to rock until we drop. Since we don’t meet but every two weeks – we give and receive all that we have for that night (and sometimes the next morning) to each other.

If you are interested in Master Mind or you are already a member of one please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question.  You can also leave comments or ask questions at justask@yourownbestgood.com.  If you’d like to receive my free Negotiator Primer or Join my free Apprenticeship just sign up on the right hand side of this page.  What will you do to Negotiate toYour Own Best Good Today?

Yesterday I was at a New Age bookstore in South Austin.  The behind-the-counter clerk stands out in my mind like a larger-than-life movie.  First of all – I don’t usually encounter “high visual” people outside of setting that are usually defined by a stage.  “High Visual” is an NLP term for someone who’s presented primary submodality is “visual” which means that the pictures in their minds are racing so fast they can’t get the words out quick enough or THEY TALK FAST.   Not only did she talk fast but she wouldn’t stop talking.  I had resourceful questions to ask her but she had so much she wanted to share it was as if I had pushed the button labeled total information dump.

In most instances in human communication when I ask a resourceful question on the other side of the dialog my Negotiating Complement has a filter that probably sounds like this: “What part of my information would I like to share with this stranger?”  This woman didn’t seem to have that filter.   Since she was giving me too much information I decided to take the time to appreciate the environment around her.  What I noticed behind her and just to her right was The Secret (DVD).  What I noticed directly behind her was The Attractor Factor (Audio)by Dr. Joe Vitale.   At some point other people started gathering around the counter and I was able to extract myself as the perpetual information dump occurred and others were able to receive the limitless flow of information coming from the woman behind the counter.

A couple of months ago I had the great fortune of hearing Depak Chopra speak live at The World Wellness Weekend here in Austin.  He had mentioned the 15 commitments.  That’s what I was in search of in the bookstore.  So I went to the different areas that carried his things and finally returned to the counter.  One of the CDs I picked up by him was named The Book of Secrets.   When I returned to the counter a woman engaging the perpetual information generator (lady behind the counter) said “I was at the Public Library earlier and speaking to one of the Librarians about getting more copies of The Secret.  While we were speaking I recommended that she also clear some space on her bookshelves for the next book by Dr. Joe Vitale – Zero Limits.

I’m a contributor to Zero Limits in several ways (but I’ll brag after the book is on the shelves) and I thought it was fascinating that a woman who isn’t nearly as in the loop as I am on this book launch would be having conversations with librarians about ordering and clearing space, etc.  The group’s conversation was quite engaging and I discovered I had things to say – so I kept trying to politely interject but the energy of the conversation just kept on moving.  Finally I was able to get a word in edgewise and I really enjoyed meeting that many strangers in a place I don’t often go and having things in common with them.  When the discussion was over we all shook hands and introduced ourselves.

I had watched The Secret the night before and had to ask myself – “How did I attract this experience?”  I listened to The Book of Secrets on the drive home.  It seems that my Negotiating Excellence is now being flushed out by the Secrets of some of the finest minds in the world.   My wife has a specific business that would fit well with this bookstore and of course before we left I asked about 10 resourceful questions that might help her develop a business relationship with the store.  She was very grateful for the plug and thanked me when we got home.

At some point in Mastering The Art of Resourceful Questions – you just DO IT!  When you reach that point – the value of your communication is always RESOURCEFUL.

I’ll see you at the Negotiating Table!
