Wouldn't it be cool to be able to get help with anything?
After you read this blog post that is exactly what will be possible for you!
Have you ever wished that you could get help from the people you know to get some things done? Whether they are small tasks like getting book pages edited, or having your Virtual Assistant deal with your book Publisher or as huge as accomplishing parts of your vision for your life, wouldn't it just be nice to have a little help? Well you can get that help after you read this entire blog posting, but first what is Enrollment and Registration?
The first thing to notice is that it is a TWO PART process. You cannot complete the enrollment process with someone unless you enroll them AND register them too. But registration is just the transactional part of the process. What that means is securing someone to help you requires them to be "enrolled" in what you are up to, and then the registration process could be as simple as them saying yes or something more sophisticated.
In the case of coaching (life coaching, business coaching, executive coaching or career coaching) someone must sign up for membership and that is the registration portion of coaching, but first they have to be interested/motivated. That interest or motivation or a thousand other words for it is the enrollment portion of it. Enrollment is a nice word, it sounds good and it indicates a pleasureful experience. Webster's say to enroll is "to become a member of." So if I asked you to help me rake my huge back yard (enrollment) and you said yes (registration) the process would be complete. I'd be psyched that yard would be done too!
That was an easy example, not too much at risk other than a blister or two and maybe a sore back. But what if I asked 320 people to join (enroll) us as GAP's (Global Affiliate Partners), then there would be much more to it and I'd have to explain the program, the tools, the support, etc, then ask if they were interested and if yes (registration) they would take action, in this case complete a GAP Application and send it off to our Straight Forward Coaching Affiliate Manager for approval. The bigger the game the more that is involved with registrations.
Why doesn't that usually happen for you?
Well, one reason could be in the way you are asking (or being) and the other could be, that unknown to you, you've been labeled "A Taker". In other words, your friends family members, co-workers and associates think "all you ever do" is take, take, take! Not too cool.
And/or, they are tired of you and don't want to participate in anything you do anymore, and in extreme cases not only don't want to hear about it, but under their breath they may actually hope you fail. That's so you'll stop bothering (taking) from them. Ouch, what does that say about you? In two words "selfish taker", but we want and need to remain as selfless givers, so then how do we get our needs met and how do others help us? All of us know takers in our lives and none of us really like them too much, do we? So why would you think then if you were a taker that the opposite would happen and people would ALWAYS want to help and you EXPECT it. That is YOUR ego hard at work my friends.
Life is lonely without: a loving relationship in the form of a significant other, supportive family members, great friends and many friends, or at least a really committed inner circle of friends and because we are human; coworkers, occasional friends and associates. Why this often occurs is that you are overdosing YOURSELF on pride (not the best of traits) rather than being humble. Humility is one of the best traits, values or characteristics of humanity, but sadly most are NOT really good at it, or even understand it's true impact on your life. Lose the pride!
Have you heard the phrase "You catch more bees with honey." Of course you have, but the inference here is that by being humble (definition: not proud, not assertive, to lessen or obliterate pride, to show your defects) rather than full "being"of pride (definition: an overly high opinion of self, arrogance, best of class, contempt for others). Your "beingness", while not really a true word, but in coaching we use it as a verb; they way you are being. Based on the two definitions provided a sentence or two ago, which would you rather be? In the well know coaching model of "be, do have" it all starts with "be" or "being", which is what we call YOUR beingness. If you are being prideful (above) it won't further your cause(s) while other avoid you. However, if you are being humble, others will get what you are up too and possibly want in.
Your Vision for your life is the best example. Let me explain. Your requests of them (friends, family, etc.) have to be bigger than you yourself. I'm very clear that if I ask my team for my selfish things they likely won't help me either, and worse they will feel that I am lazy and or out of integrity and say "NO" because this is self serving. But if they see the request is for a client being coached, or an animal in distress that our SPCA donation could help, or that a 5 year old in Haiti will have clean water, before I'm even done enrolling and or registering they ask "How can I help?". It's magical! Enrollment AND Registration are powerful tools in one's life.
If this seems foreign or possibly tough to learn or convert your evil ways so to speak, then you may need your own personal and private coach to help you do this life altering, profound work. An offer will be made to you at the end, so for now stay focused on the topic and keep reading on please. The offer will be there, so this is no time to thin about joining coaching.
Relationships are critical for success. EVERYTHING you need or want from life is going to come to you from SOMEONE ELSE! How will you get help, expand on the help, broaden your horizons, and in the end succeed by yourself? It's not possible really, at least if you want to be satisfied with life too. Sure you could be a lone ranger and get "rich" (meaning only the money part), but your life can't get rich (not the money) or wealthy (not the money) when you only stay in your own cave (by yourself) and don't fully interact with others in life.
So your vision is best if it is bigger than you. Such as our Contribution to the world in the form of supporting and financially helping the SPCA or Drinking Water for Kids foundations. Anyone that may get emotional or be emotional about those causes in naturally inspired to ask "How can I help?" And so you wan to create natural enrollments by people asking how can I help in the ways in which would help your cause(s). They act natural and gravitate toward you when they are either inspired, emotionally moved about a cause or touched in some way. Touched, moved or inspired by the cause or vision to correct something, an injustice maybe, and naturally motivated to want to help, so the enrollment is easy and the registration is painless.

If you are struggling to enroll people then you simply are not pushing their emotional buttons, you are not touching, not moving or not inspiring them at all. It's possible this happens due to a lack of authenticity or forced authenticity. When you inspire from the heart to the heart it is automatic. When you force it, it doesn't work. So the best thing to do is to create your vision and tell everyone (attempt to enroll everyone) and for those who feel it is a fit, they will allow you to enroll them or they'll enroll themselves by asking "How can I help?" And in either case you will register them. If your message doesn't resonate they won't enroll themselves or perhaps at all and that is okay too. Our stuff is not for everyone.
And, don't be surprised at the lengths that some people will go to heckle you or your messages in a selfish attempt to derail you that comes from their upsetness or anger that you are the chosen one, that you are succeeding, or that you are courageous enough o take the stand that they would if they had a spine. And in some cases they will trash your name, drag you through the mud and attempt to distract you from your successes - IF YOU LET THEM! So, don't and remember small people play small games and their insecurities make their results mediocre. You don't want to be hanging around in that crowd, even if it is a family member. Move on!
Whatever your idea, your vision, your passion, or your cause, take the stretch exercise and go out and enroll 10 people in what you are up to. And whatever the percentage, say 70% (7 of 10) will follow your journey, then expect that at 100, 1000 and 1,000,000! Take the challenge enroll and register 10 people in what you are up to and let us know how you make out!! Be well.
To Your Greater Success!
