FAQs
#1: What would you pay for peace? I know a guy who is maybe the very best public speaker in the world. Ever. He wrote a book. I read it. Once. My takeaway: that one book is not going to make me as good of a speaker as him. It will take me time, effort, and a lot of practice to become a great public speaker. But for him, it’s a craft, an art form, and he has elevated it to a whole new level. Imagine being able to speak to thousands of people for hours, keeping them completely captivated without ever needing a single note. Every word precisely tested and pored over, memorized—that is next level. He has taken that knowledge and put it into a form that I can pore over to increase my ability to become a better speaker. Better, but probably not necessarily the best. Better does make a huge difference. Better means I have to make an effort and practice. He asked a friend, “What should I charge for his book?" His friend says, “If you charge anything less than $20k, then you are insane.” How funny is that? I also love his response, “Okay, we’re not doing that.” His friend meant that if anyone knew what that gift would do for them, it would be priceless. “Since you’ve dedicated your entire life to that craft, you should not sell your lessons cheap.” It’s taken a long time for me to find it, but my sweet spot is teaching people to live and love from peace. This affects all relationships—with others and with myself. Many of us also find freedom in our relationship with the divine. Over many years, I have created a program using one-on-one sessions. I have incorporated the knowledge I've studied and researched, which I believe is crucial for achieving peace, into a practical program. I believe when you are willing to put in the effort and practice the skills taught, you will find your path to peace. Let me ask you this: what would you pay for peace? What does the term "peace" mean? What is the price you would be willing to pay for the gift of eternal life and youth? It's priceless, of course. If I could promise you, I could wave a magic wand and grant you a life full of love, peace, and happiness, I think you would pay everything you have. I know I would. Of course I can’t promise any of those things; there are way too many variables, and I don’t own a magic wand. However, this program aims to assist you in creating a path to learn to live and love from peace. The reality of one-on-one sessions is that it takes about three years to completely transform the way people think about themselves and others—to really own the tools and practice them daily. To Learn, Practice, and Mentor, I’m asking you to think of this as a 2-4 year program. It will take a few months to acquire some fundamental skills. It takes a couple of years to put these skills into practice and gain more knowledge within the community. And then a couple of years to solidify the tools by giving back to others who are learning those skills. So, what is that worth? Let’s do a little math: 1. The M3 Newsletter. Which includes weekly videos and the pre-course on YouTube. Worth: $1,000 of my time if you had to pay me to create it for you, to say nothing of the training and experience to know what to teach. 2. Daily social media posts. Worth: Priceless. 3. Become a member of the M3 Member Hub. • M3 Basic Course, a Private Community forum, the entire Pre Course, all of the weekly videos, and Coaching Calls. The Basic Course will be conducted live over 8 weeks - video content each week, weekly coaching calls, and the Community support from Doc Prosen and his team. This can be completed at your own pace but is best when done during the 8 weeks. Hourly = $10,000. • M3 Advanced Community. This will become available after you have finished the M3 Basics course. It encompasses an expanding selection of content courses, community support, and real-time group coaching sessions. The platform offers a fully searchable library that shares video, audio, and text content, covering everything you could possibly need to learn from a counselor. Additionally, you can interact with the Black Belts through this resource. Hourly = $10,000 per month. • M3 Black Belts. This is where you become the mentor. Being a mentor helps you to practice what you learn. Thus solidifying the lessons for your own life. Retreats. - Being a mentor can be hard and exhausting. These 3 days will be to refresh and reinvigorate you. Hourly = $7,500. • The one-year total for just these core elements of the program is easily over $100k. I know that seems crazy, but it’s just hourly math. 4. Consider a different scenario. If you met with a top counselor for 4 years, what does that cost? An average number—$15k per year. If you met weekly for 4 years, you’re at $60k. I’ve seen a two-day intensive for $7k with a counselor. 5. If you had $60k to spend, is one hour a week the best way to learn? Dig around the website and learn about my two main gripes. 1) Information/Transformation paradox and 2) Black Crab Syndrome. Short answer. You get what you pay for. Teaching you the basics one hour a week is not the best use of your money. I believe your money is best saved for when you hit a crisis point and need to meet one-on-one for hopefully a shorter period of time. Me helping you practice is a good use of time/money. My experience says we can get a lot more done in a lot less time once you have the basic tools. I know this sounds like bragging, but many of my clients (including therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors) have told me that what I’m doing here is WAY different. When you can grasp the Motive Matters Most concepts, then every other system makes more sense. Everything you study after this will function much more efficiently. 6. Now comes the sticky question. How much should I charge for this program? I honestly don’t know, but here’s where I decided to start. The simple basic plan starts at $97 per month. This plan is available for as long as you want. You keep that price as long as you stay in good standing each month. Your price will be locked in forever. The price will change at each offering of the Basic Course. If you choose to terminate and then decide at a future date you want to re-enroll, you will pay the prevailing rate at that future date. What else is subject to lock-in pricing? Your one-on-one session rate is also locked in. So whatever year you start, I’ll lock your one-on-one rate with me as well. This applies even if you decide not to use it. That’s right, as long as you are an active paying monthly member in the program. My goal is to make life change financially accessible while decreasing the intimidation factor. I want it to be easy for you to think about investing four years in this. It would cost you less than 4 months of sessions with a top counselor (and honestly, you can’t get much done in 4 months with a counselor—not life-changing stuff). $4,700 over 4 years to change not only your life but the lives of those closest to you. The goal is to transform the family tree from trauma and dysfunction into communicating in a healthy way. We call it “uprooting the family tree and planting it in a different field.” I can’t say this enough. The Motive Matters Most program is different. You will no doubt look at the reviews and make your own assessments. I hope you heard about me from a friend you trust. Here is my hope: more for less. More people. More lives changed. Less money. I would like to see your whole community of people live and love from a place of freedom. Join me! Gain Freedom!
#2: Who is this M3 Program for? I like to say it is for people who have already been to counseling. It is for people who are currently in counseling. It is for people who have never been to counseling. And maybe, even hopefully, it is for people who would never go to counseling. It’s a custom program so a lot of it will be new no matter what your experience. Certainly, the main principle is something I’m not hearing anyone teach. But I also think it’s a great way to teach some helpful concepts to someone who doesn’t ever plan to sit down for one on one counseling.
#3: What is the M3 Program? M3 stands for Motive Matters Most. It is the idea that “why” we do matters more than “what” we do. That’s not to say that what we do does not matter. This is the result of decades of study, research, and practice. And somehow, we’ve stumbled into something incredibly effective. What I’ve been wanting to build is something wholistic. Which yeah means wholistic as in helping you become fully integrated, but also means wholistic as in a multi-part that works together to create more than the parts. So, by curating specific content and interpreting it through my unique lens of training, practice, and experience; along with live coaching opportunities and maybe most importantly, by doing this in community with others, we have the pieces to make an incredibly effective change program.
#4: Is this just another course? Certainly not. What we call M3 Basic is the core foundation. There is a pre-course and there will be a lot of advanced content. But it’s not really about content. It’s a program which combines content with live coaching and a community of people just like you sharing wins and losses and supported by our Black Belt Mentors who are also just real people who’ve been doing it a little longer and want to keep learning by giving back.
#5: How does the M3 Program work? First step, make sure we have your email. From there you’ll be kept in the loop. There will be things to do before you attend your M3 Basic course. Then you’ll attend your M3 Basic Course which is hopefully easy to digest. 4 “short” videos each week and a group coaching call with community support. Then you are turned loose into the M3 Advanced Community. Even though you can be exposed to the basics in a couple of months I really want you to realize that it takes time to fully understand and apply so be thinking about a 2-year commitment to maximize your return. And then be prepared to be invited to give back with a 2-year term as a Black Belt (and gain access to some new privileges).
#6: Is this for couples? Yes and No. For sure this would be a great thing for a couple to do together. We try to break everything into one of three phases: 1) Discover 2) Inner 3) Outer. The last one is for sure about how we relate to other people. The first two are about learning how to get into a good place so that we really understand why we are relating to other people in the first place. So good for individuals and couples.
#7: What if my partner won’t do this with me? One person can change enough to be at peace even if the other person does not change at all. Now you may be saying “but I don’t want to be at peace with … (fill in the blank)". For now, let me just say “don’t be so sure about that”. The point is you have the power until you give it away (which is most of the time). This is about taking personal responsibility for how we feel when certain things happen and how we can learn to have a different experience in those same situations. After that we think/talk about what to do. Because when we think about what to do from an off center place our thinking is also off center and produces off center results.
#8: What if I want to share this with somebody? Awesome! We’d love that. I would say don’t try and teach it. Just forward a copy of your weekly To-Do list or something you see on our socials. Send a link to a video you like. Feel free to share your experience but not through a lens of what you think they should do. If it works for you great. If they’re not ready - it’s all about nonjudgment, which some have called true love.
#9: Is this a counseling program? No. And I think this is important. Counseling is counseling. Counseling is really about sitting one on one with someone who is trained to create space and hear you and guide you to the things they think will help set you free. I heard Taylor Tomlinson say “People are scared to go to therapy because they think it's someone sitting in a chair going, you suck. But it's not. It's you in a chair going, I suck.” This is content created by a counselor, curated from some of the best counselors, and taught to you as content, to empower you to do as much as you can on your own. But it’s not counseling. Although I’d love to see everybody get at least some counseling. In the case of working with me it is a required pre-requisite. When we have live calls, we’re going to call that Coaching. As in coaching you in this specific model.
#10: How much does the M3 program cost? The first time we offer M3 it is currently planned for $97 per month and will increase each time offering after that. Most likely by $10 a month. That’s the equivalent of about 15 minutes with a really good therapist.
#11: If I’m doing this with a spouse do we each need our own membership, or can we share? Yes, you need your own. No, you cannot share. We need a way for each participant to have their own access so we know who has completed which courses. It’s also important that each person can participate in coaching calls and online community as themselves.
#12: What is this Rate Lock? The next M3 Basic Course start date will open the window for the Advanced Community and lock your monthly program cost for as long as you are in the program. That means the next course is always going to be the least expensive option and will lock you in. Monthly rates will go up each time the course is offered.
#13: Who/What are Black Belts and who can become one? Black Belts are not counselors or teachers. They are just regular people like you who have spent a minimum of 2 years with Doc Prosen either one on one or in the M3 program or some combination of both. Think of them like sponsors in AA. They are making themselves available to help you grasp and practice the concepts which also helps them master the concepts better so it’s a win/win. They also have special access and their own coaching call so they can serve as a first line of defensive if something put out is too confusing.
