Unblinded

I attended a few meetings/seminars of Unblinded back in July. I could not hear or see what they were saying because they rearticulate what successful people do with massive details, and each and every step is expressed with their own language. So I truly could not “see it” PS ironically why it is called Unblinded. Sean Calagy the co-founder, is legally blind.

Over the past few months I have come to recognize that even I who have had literally forty plus years of learning self help self mastery did have some blind spots. Apologies for the analogies. Ironically it is exactly what turned me off for so many months.

If I may, a bit about me, so you can have more context and actual gravity to what I am about to say. My dad was a self help guy. I had thousands of books and tapes available to me my whole life. I took every course from Dale Carnegie to Anthony Robbins in the seventies. I even went to Tony Robbins 2 weeks in Hawaii seminar. I have also done experiential seminars including Life Spring (outgrowth of Forum and EST) So it was particularly hard for me to accept anything new. In fact when I left my apartment in New York, not knowing if I was going to Florida or where I was going, I donated everything to charity. On my receipt it said $2000 for value of 2000 books each and every one was health marketing, happiness, self help.

So there is nothing I havent read seen or done. So back to these guys. They take apart every single step of the process of influence to ensure you havent missed a single step. I also have a love of life and people and I easily connect and get rapport with 99% of people and strangers. I am the guy who makes friends with the person pumping gasoline that I encountered for a few minutes. And I was a successful salesperson and achieved just under one million in commissions in a single year. Today I answer phones for a cosmetic medical practice. Most calls end with “I cant wait to meet you” But I still love to learn

So here is the big surprise. I actually have a lot to learn. WTF? With even more questioning I quickly managed to bring out the deeper desires of the typical price phone call that I often get. I did have to ask three times about her past history. And then the flood gates opened. An hour later she made the appointment. But it is so much more. In practice as I rearticulate who I am and what I do. I have gone from modesty to recognizing I actually do know more than most doctors. Even the ones who lecture. They are merely paid by one company and given slides to promote one device. I have studied them all for over 17 years vs seeing patients. And my tone of voice. You all know when you are being too excited. You know when you are being authoritative. I didnt know. I was too successful to recognize the areas that I could improve, achieve greater rapport, and help everyone, even personal relationships.

Sorry to say my eyes are open now. If you look past the buzz words. This just might be the greatest course/program I have ever been involved with. And that says a lot coming from someone who has heard and read everyone for more than 50 years.
