Welcome to today’s episode of Influence By Design, I’m your host, Samantha Riley and joined by Dr. Philip Agrios. Welcome to the show.
Dr. Philip (00:58):
Well, thank you so much for having me on. It’s an honour.
Samantha (01:02):
I’m very excited today, we’ve been following this theme for the entire month around stepping into your power, and really showing up as the unapologetic leader. So this conversation is going to be absolutely perfect. We’re talking about sabotaging and the inner saboteur and what’s really intriguing to me about this is when we first spoke is that there’s only three if you’ve discovered only three inner saboteur is. Can you please before we even jump into what we’re talking about? How did you even come up with this concept or discover this?
Dr. Philip (01:40):
So it really all started back when I was the king of self-sabotage. I went through a lot of stuff, because I used to be a chiropractor and a functional medicine practitioner. My specialty was thyroid and autoimmune, the sick of the sickness. And during the process as trying to figure out my own practice, why my business wasn’t going, where I was, why my kids were doing what they were doing, and my patients weren’t following my instructions and everything else. I found myself on this journey.
And basically, I was looking, just sitting it out, were taking all these different gurus, right. And realizing when I took all their information, I was still self-sabotaging myself. And one night, I remember it was pitch dark, late at night, couldn’t sleep, somebody just told me, You are not being taught something. And I was like, okay, cool. Never thinking I would be on this path for over 30 years. And during the process, I was able to discover a six-step blueprint that nature uses to come back from her storms.
And I realized those six steps were the same six steps that we had to solve any business or personal problems. And then I as I delve even deeper as I was going through horrific events and different things like that going, Okay, why is this happening to me what’s going on? I realized that if I took this opposite steps, and I put it together, it actually created three basic principles of the universe. This goes into quantum physics, and it showed how the atoms and the galaxies were governed.
And instead of going into that I mainly focused on human behaviour. And then I realized those three principles, I just named them the three traits, same things, because we deal with traits and our behaviour. And I realized those three traits are within us, they govern us. And the three that I was able to come up with were the director trait, the supplier trait, and the communicator trait. So the audience writes that down director, communicator and the supplier traits. And as I started looking at this, I realized they were placed in an order called the personality stress sequence.
So when we got stressed out, they would then start a domino effect, called the behaviour domino effect. That would one thing once I start with a situation, it would then just trickle into a particular emotion that I would go through. And then I realized those three traits that were placed in those areas, so I call them the dominant trait, which is your superpower, the mediator trait, and then a saboteur.
And when I looked at it, I realized that there were really only six sequences of human behaviour. And therefore I realized that there are only really six humans in the world. So those of you who are speakers or do with work with people, whether or not you’re speaking in front of 1000 people or 30 people, there are only six people in the audience and imagine you actually taking and curtailing your speaking your speech and able to tap into each and every one those people so they are now more engaged with you. So that’s kind of the story that But I’m sticking to.
Samantha (05:03):
Well, it’s working. So I’d seek to. So once, once you discovered these traits, how did it specifically affect your life? Because I’m assuming you use yourself as a, you know, as I like to say, as a crash test, dummy, I use it. I say that all the time that, you know, we have to try these things for ourselves before we can teach them. How do How did it start to change your life.
Dr. Philip (05:28):
So real quick, I, it all started from a false accusation from an insurance company, that three things were going to happen to me I was going to jail, I was going to lose my licence, and I was going to have to pay back three times back with the insurance companies pay me and of course, other insurance companies got on that back way, that dang bandwagon really quick.
And during the process of that huge trust, because I never did anything illegal again. It was a false accusation. My father, 71-year-old healthy male, had been diagnosed with brain cancer. And within seven months he passed and then I became the primary caretaker of my mom who was always ailing.
But I then became the sole health caregiver for her. And then from there, seven years later, she passed and during the process, I went through financial ruin, I was then became disabled, I would not practice again, I was told I would never practice because I had a thing called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, carpal tunnel, and both hands cause numbness and weakness that both my arms and I couldn’t I getting out of bed, I felt like it was walking on glass. And it was my mid-30s, my late 30s.
And then during that whole process of trying to get through things, I went through a horrific divorce 2008 came along, so I lost everything. My one of my daughters almost committed suicide, they said like my ex came home. 10 minutes later, she would have passed, and a lot more. But as I was going through this, it allowed me to really deep dive into seeing that this came up and what was this trait and what was going on with that.
And it was just this conglomeration of all these things that allowed me to go deeper and deeper into myself, so that I could be able to really understand what the universe is trying to tell me that was deep inside of me that I needed to impact people that I actually left my practice about six years ago. And now I do this full time.
Samantha (07:26):
Wow. So how can you actually before we start, can you give us a little bit of an overview of how those inner saboteur is, or as I’ve heard, some people call them like little itty bitty shitty committees show up and play out in our lives. So we’ve got the director, let’s start with the director.
Dr. Philip (07:50):
Okay, so basically, the saboteur is not there to undermine us, it’s actually there to protect us from the very success that we seek, because if we actually achieve that success, subconsciously, will be more painful.
So we never get to that point, so we stay where we’re at. So when you start to release your personal professional power, and you start to feel uncomfortable, that saboteur kicks in to protect you, you’re not either you or, or you’re not, you know what’s wrong with you, there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s just you’re going into production, and remote.
Imagine going into the point of getting uncomfortable, and that’s when the saboteur evolves, you, you never get rid of this because it evolves you. And as you as you evolve, as soon as you start to feel uncomfortable, you start to contract. And depending on where you’re at, have you ever seen this right, you get to a point you’ve dropped, that’s your saboteur protecting you.
But imagine knowing why you’re slowly going into contraction, understand why then use the antidote, which we call the solution to the saboteur, it’s the exact opposite to the saboteur, you now are able to go past the growth. Uncomfortable section, not like this, but like this. So you’re constantly doing this to evolve and grow, instead of constantly going back on the hamster wheel moving forward and forward.
So now that we have that understanding, we never get rid of it, we just teach you how to use it to your advantage. So a director, saboteurs, a person who’s scattered, they’re all over the place. They chaos, help stimulates the brain. So they got a lot going on. And they’ll get 99% done with something and stop and then do something different because it’s less painful. They don’t have enough knowledge, they’ll freeze they don’t have enough trust in themselves. So they don’t like really details.
They don’t like a particular subject. They don’t really be told what to do. They’re not really they don’t like to be held responsible or accountable. Now, there are times where and then that it goes to the other extreme, where now they waited to the last minute. Now they’re hyper focused. And then they have a time distortion on the I’ll be out in five minutes. Five hours later, they emerge.
And then they finally go, Okay, I’m done two days later, and then realize that they didn’t time they didn’t, they didn’t really organize their time too well, and now they have all this other stuff. And then they go back to over and become scattered for the rest of their lives, they’re going to be challenged of how to become scattered, and over focus back and forth. And the antidote allows them to become in the middle.
So they’re become more focused, so they can stay on the straight, narrow, and actually follow through and finish a task. So that’s what a director saboteur does. And if you know anybody like that, or the people in the audience, but that’s me, or the other person’s like, Oh my God, that’s why my ex or my spouse or my kid, so that kind of gives you an understanding that when they go into that they’re in a protective mode, they’re not there to bust your chops, well, maybe sometimes, on a subconscious level, they’re just doing it because of trying to protect themselves from you or the situation.
Samantha (11:01):
Cool. So that’s the director, what about the supplier
Dr. Philip (11:05):
so the supplier is a person that overly gives they overly share they overly supply, because they feel that they have to, and they give their generosity they give their time, they actually overly share, there’s these are the business owners that give too much where they’ll give something for free away consistently because they don’t value themselves as much.
And they think by them giving too much and giving things away for free so people can check it out. It actually devalues their product. Now, they will give but they find that there there is no reciprocity from other people. And they feel bad because they have a hard time saying no. And then they’ll go to the other extreme at the wall go you know, you’ve taken advantage of me I’m done being a doorstop all this stuff.
And then all sudden, what happens is they feel guilty. And then they go back and over the share. So their opportunity in order to grow and to evolve is to find the balance between giving and taking too much giving or take too much take. So that’s it now some of them people go wow, that’s really me. Oh, there we go. You know what? They sound both like me.
Now remember, all three are within you do one more, one more often, and usually first. So that’s where when we go through our course we have a five-week live group coaching, mentoring course that depending on where the person is in their trades, whether or not their saboteur mediator or dominant trait, they can really understand their sequence. Now there’s the communicator. saboteur.
Communicator saboteur is a person who overly does not over Express, they keep to themselves are somewhat reserved, they overthink, they have a hard time disconnecting from a thought or feeling and that gets them in trouble. They will begin they’ll be happy to give you a long text on email.
But for them to actually verbally give it verbally express themselves. What happens is they shut down because someone may over talk on them. And they don’t feel they don’t feel stupid or embarrass. They don’t trust themselves. So they’ll drop down and not talk at all. So people don’t know what they’re feeling or think. Okay, now what happens is, they can go to the other extreme, again, the people disrespected them, they Dishonored them.
So two things will happen, they will just be the explosion of the volcano and just give it to them. Or they’ll still tell them they’re an idiot under their breath, and they still don’t know what they’re thinking or feeling. And then they’ll go and they’ll disconnect and they may come back three days later and then express to you because they needed to think about that or feel how that felt for a few days and you already moved on. I don’t know if you if your audience ever know anybody like that are there there are they’re the same. So those are the three traits of the saboteur.
Now those traits can be placed in the other areas so someone who is a communicator dominant trait is a person who has no problem communicating person who has a dominant director is very structured, you know, don’t don’t call her outside my my lines or their supplier dominance, which are they’re charismatic, you know, the very partiers, but they can they can take for themselves with no problem. So depending on where they are in the sequence will depending on the seesaw of where they’re at.
Samantha (14:35):
Mm. super fascinating. Now you mentioned at the beginning of explaining those three inner saboteur is that this comes out because were were making sure that we’re safe that we’re looking after ourselves. So I guess my question is, is if we take I’m going to put this in it, you know if we take the antidote, which is what you help people Do does this bring up other things like how do we still feel safe so that the other inner saboteur is don’t sort of come in to make sure we’re okay
Dr. Philip (15:12):
So here’s the thing you’re gonna see the domino masters where they push the one domino goes right the last
Samantha (15:20):
let’s say awesome
Dr. Philip (15:23):
I don’t know if they have it by you but by us there’s a there’s an actually show called The tomato masters Yeah, that’s a blues are released. Well, what’s the last thing you see? The balloons right? That’s your that’s your imposter syndrome. That’s your anxiety, your depression, you’re overthinking you’re over feeling. It’s all the things you feel what last?
So what do we take our coping methods and do what we put them on the balloons, not the one domino that started it all. So what’s easier hold down the balloon stop pushing them on Domino. And the Domino is your saboteur. And we prove to you that when you push your saboteur, you get to anger, crying, detach, whatever. So we look at the anger, we look at the detachment, and then we have the people Hey, coach and all that helped me with the balloons instead of this. So we’re able to help you to focus on this instead of that, and your saboteur creates all of your negative emotions, every one of them.
So it’s not really to focus on all this, there’s only one thing for you to focus on. And when you push down the saboteur, it goes down root of frustration. But when you push the antidote, which is exactly opposite to the saboteur, we actually prove to you that it’s impossible to sabotage yourself. And therefore you go down the road of inspiration and motivation, because it’s everlasting.
Samantha (16:55):
Love it so much. Love it so much. What is an example of someone that is a communicator that you’ve worked with? Obviously, we don’t want to know details. But just what was it that well, how was it playing out in their life? And what was the outcome afterwards?
Dr. Philip (17:17):
So let me so since you brought up a communicator, it’s sparked me, not the client but declined son. So I was doing workshop I do a workshop. Also I show them how the management as well as the employees subconsciously sabotage the business.
By the way, those of you are business owners, your own business has its own inborn sabotaging trade antidote. So we show you how you yourself actually use your saboteur to enhance the business’s saboteur. And when you use your antidote to the business Anthro it’s like a Bible success that kicks in.
So he comes to me during the workshop and says, you know, my son’s always upstairs playing video games, you can’t get them downstairs or interact with the family. Any suggestions? So, I asked him a few questions ascertain his son’s sequence.
Once I only understood that. And then I also knew the father sequence, I told him do this, this and this calls me about a week later it goes my son’s downstairs playing with the with everybody, it’s there and he’s interacting. And then two months later, their relationship really grew tremendously, because the father realized he was the one pushing his son back into his son was a communicator saboteur doesn’t like to be embarrassed or stupid. So his father was making fun of them.
That’s how he grew up, right. But once he understood he was doing he shifted his communication with a son, which then allowed his son to come in and then realize his father did honor and respected him, that he was busting his chops, because this is how it was.
But once he shifted, right, and then he realized that he was doing the same thing in his business. And then when he knew each and every one of his, his staff, he now knew how to support them in the way they needed to be supported, not in a way he thought they needed, which was really how he needed to be.
The relationship grew, customers grew and his business grew. So you have to realize your professional and your business and your personal life are one when you use your saboteur both are affected at the exact same time. And when you use your use your antidote, both are affected at the exact same time. So use your antidote, certain things can be taken care of me to the other things which had been you know, a little deeper into challenges may take some time.
But as you start changing your own inner being your outside world changes. See the person you can’t stand on the outside view is just a part of you that you can’t stand they’re just showing up to show you because your outer world is all you and as soon as you change you by shifting your your saboteur to an antidote, your vibration changes. So therefore two things happen that person will leave or they’ll change to stay in your world.
Samantha (19:58):
That is such The powerful story so powerful, you know that literally creating happy families changes the world because all of a sudden, if all of us were more at peace happier, it’s just could you imagine what would happen on the across the world if all of us knew how to do that.
Dr. Philip (20:20):
And that’s my why I was given something very powerful. If somebody wants to know something totally different that they never heard before. This is what we have no one else is teaching this. And I was given this, and I feel compelled. I mean, it’s been 30 years that I’ve been working with us that now I want them to help over a billion people.
And that’s how I want to impact those people. And this is why we’re doing what we’re doing. And this is why I got a five in the morning, this is my why I really want to help people because I’ve had, you know, I had a client one time call me and said, we’re calling the lawyer tomorrow, the divorce lawyer, we’re getting a divorce. And I said, Give me a month, within one month, they’re still married after eight months.
But what was happening as I was showing them, they weren’t hating each other. They just were protecting themselves from each other. And then you add a son-in-law, and then you add a daughter in. And then the whole complexity, but it’s not complexity, it’s really simple. Because it’s why it takes me three years to say, it can’t be the simple because I went out to try to disprove it and I couldn’t 1000s of people over 30 years.
And once they understood like, like the mother was the suppliers, dump I was a supplier saboteur, and the son was a director saboteur. Now she was a dominant communicator, which she wouldn’t you know, she was screaming, get up.
Now, I told her, he’s a director, saboteur, you don’t do that, he will never get up and you will get an ulcer, you need to do this, this and this, one of these will go there. And you have to keep on him as a director, because his and then also, you know, being a functional medicine practitioner, I make sure that my clients are going to functional medicine, Doc’s in order to find out maybe there is a vitamin or other different deficiencies that are not allowing the brain to work, especially during the saboteurs.
So once she understood that, her stress level in the morning dropped tremendously. I’ve had kids ask the mother, who are you? Where’s my mother? Why don’t you screaming? You know, so they really pick their battles and knew that this is what the person is, this is who they are. I need to help them unfold them instead of trying to mold them in the way I would do it, which is not the way they would need to do it unless you have the same sequence. Set help
Samantha (22:43):
to certainly does. Absolutely. And before we move on, because we’ve been talking about these, I’m interested in the supplier saboteur, because I could see that this would be a major problem for people that were in business, and that were potentially, you know, over supplying not getting sales, and then you know, going on this spiral, so can you share some sort of case study or story around this one?
Dr. Philip (23:12):
Absolutely. So we had a supplier saboteur. So you ever know anybody that overly talks, and they actually talk themselves out of a sale of salespeople like that? Oh my god. Right. So I usually ask, you know, sales managers, what do you would, what kind of training would you give them? What’s the usual answer? Communication skills, and they go, no, they’re great communicators. That’s their superpower.
The reason why they’re always communicating, let’s say they’re a supplier saboteur. They don’t feel valued. So they have to now over communicate and give things away in order to feel value. If they’re a director, saboteur, they’re scattered, they’re all over the place need to be focused on doing other things I tell them to do. That’s why they over communicate and go here. And then there you ever felt sorry about that. And then also, they’re here, you’re like, where are you going with us?
Because they don’t know what the hell they’re going with. US they use their antidote. Their communication, instant, I had a person, same sequence. Within two weeks, she made $84,000 In sales, because she realized that she was just overthink, giving so much, that if they actually hired her, they will be even more overwhelmed. And their story was we had a doc who was a director, saboteur, same thing. He you had less than 30% Closing rates. Within two weeks, he went to 100%. I didn’t believe I had on one or to show. Show me the proof because I didn’t believe it within two weeks, because he then realized he was over giving information.
Even though he was a director, the director. He was just giving too much detail. He was overthinking it and people didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. So and then he creases sales, you know, his income, like I think it was 64.2% within that month. So when you don’t sell when you don’t close is actually your saboteur that stops you because it’s actually more painful to close that person than if you did on a subconscious level.
So that’s why I have an explosive sales blueprint. Have them say yes before the sale, because before you ask for the sale, because we have a six-step system that we use from that blueprint, but then we show them that whole situation. And as well as some other three steps that I’ve never heard any other salesperson do that really kind of solidifies to help them get to where they need to be before they talk to the person.
So we can help increase people’s closing rates by at 2.3%. So imagine going from 10% to 20%. What would that do? We just had a person we have an I have a course called transcendent stool one, it’s my business course three months, within three weeks, she just told me this. Within three weeks, she went from 12% to 50%. And she tripled her income from the month prior within three weeks of selling.
Because it was easier for her make more sense. It was a nice system for them to do it. So once you that’s why the first course is about you can’t talk about anything else besides you. And one of the things that remember that one thing that said Do you have been taught something? What was frustrating for me was that I had you know, I was taught by Robbins and Ro And zoo, you know, all the greats, right? And I had all their cassette tape programs. Remember cassette tapes?
Samantha (26:43):
Oh, no, I definitely do.
Dr. Philip (26:48):
Remember a track. So that’s a whole different thing. And I realized the reason why I wasn’t successful because I was using all their great information. But they were generic to me because then I was using them on my dominant and my immediate traits because that was subconsciously easier.
And just like a squirrel blind squirrel will find a nut once in a while, he would hit my antidote. And then I will be successful. But because I didn’t know how I became successful, I couldn’t sustain it. And then they would drop. And there was the seesaw constantly going back of being successful on losing it being successful and losing it.
We had a vet who did five tours, and he was taking our course, within the first week I said, look, take the antidote to your psychologist, because the psychologist was basically focusing on the dominant in the media tree.
As soon as he they started doing that within two weeks, they saw a major shift, and then that something happened and five years old is why he went to work. So it was like a major shift. So these are the kinds of results that we look we have with our clients, because we’re getting down to the core of who you are not here. Not this one, not that domino, this domino,
Samantha (28:02):
the very first one. I’m thinking about coaches and how they can use this not just for themselves for their inner saboteur. But once someone understands this process, are they able to actually help their clients? Because as coaches, we all have clients that don’t implement or you know, they sabotage themselves? Are we able to not use it? Because that sounds manipulative? But are we able to utilize these skills that we’ve got once we know ours? To help our clients?
Dr. Philip (28:34):
Yeah, we actually teach during the process, you get something out of that, where you can now start to understand not only your family, everybody else, but your client. So imagine knowing a potential client saboteur, you’ll know the resistance. So we teach you how to understand that and how to guide them into the product and service if it’s right for them. Right.
And you had mentioned manipulation, right? Yeah, yes. Right. I use it to to bring it to that so that you understand where they’re at. And that’s why people’s closing rates skyrocket. When you’re looking at a client and you’re banging your head against the wall going, why aren’t you doing what I’m doing?
There are many times where I’ve talked to clients and I say to our director, saboteur, can you see that? Ah, what do I do? Okay, what you do this and this and because of your this antidote, you need to do this. And so we dive deeper that into our courses, so people are able to understand it and help themselves and help others.
But yeah, you’ll hear a lot of times on our group sessions, where someone will go, Hey, look, I’m having a hard time with this client. What do I do? Or why did I break up? You know, this person’s gotta be I gotta break up this person. How do I do it? And we kind of like help them go through it.
Why did you first bring them into your life in the first place? You actually experience why, you know, I tell people all the time, if it wasn’t your x, it’d be somebody else with the same C quince, needed at that moment. I didn’t same thing when I realized that it will allow me to release a lot of stuff.
Because it was me it’s a two-way street, bringing your bring her in. And she brought me in to help us to have that experience because there’s nothing that we here to learn. We’re here to experience, that’s all. So with that, once you understand this, this information, I have a lot of coaches that are clients, and they just help not only help themselves, but they can also help the clients. Great question.
Samantha (30:33):
Yeah, mind blown. I’m loving this so much. So I believe that you have a some sort of quiz that people can do to discover what that number one inner saboteur is. Can you tell us a little bit about that and where people can go to do that quiz and get the results for themselves?
Dr. Philip (30:55):
No, no kidding.
Samantha (30:59):
I was like, really? I don’t think I’m that special.
Dr. Philip (31:07):
So they can go to sab quiz sa be short for sabotage, sab quiz.com. It’s a nine question quiz. It’s not 186 quiz, question quiz and nine questions in about a minute, you’ll get your inborn sabotaging trait, and it’s antidote for free. And by understanding this, you’ll see how that shifts.
Now, of course, the antidote, and everything else goes much, much deeper. We’ve had people go well, I just, I was just looking at the answer. It was working somewhat. But now I’m taking a course. And now I’m really blown away. So yeah, because we’re just giving you the tip. Why do I just give you the tip of the iceberg?
Because I’ve given more, and we confuse the hell out of people. Because this is totally No, then it’s not like I can go back and say, Oh, remember, this person said this, and we’re taught all this. But it’s in a such a different way. So we then give the people in the five weeks, so they can really understand this and make the breakthroughs.
And that’s why we have 100% money-back guarantee, and no one really asked for the money back. Because everybody makes a major break through the first or second week. That’s why we wait for the second week to do so.
Samantha (32:11):
love it so much. I went and did the quiz. After we first met, and it blew me away. I was like, Wow, I feel like you’re just looking at a crystal ball, or into a crystal ball and telling me some stuff. And I was like, yep, that that would be it. And I think it’s really important to remember that we’re all human, and that it doesn’t matter where we are in our journey, these things still come to play, they come to play in our lives. So it’s definitely worth going and jumping on that quiz and discovering, I guess, so that you can unpeel the next layer of the onion that we are,
Dr. Philip (32:49):
if I made to tell you two stories. So the first story was a coach that took the course she had didn’t have a great relationship with her husband. Within the five weeks a relationship really grew.
Because not only does she understand her sequence, she understood his but he never knew she was taking the course. So we teach people how to shift others by shifting themselves. And the other one was I used to. So I was at a particular function.
And I met somebody who had their wife with them. Within five minutes, she turns and goes, was he in our hotel room? Because he told me exactly how we were fighting. Because depending on the sequence, once I know your sequence, I don’t even have to meet you. If you had a significant other, I can ask you a couple of questions ascertain their sequence.
And then I’ll tell you how you to interact and never ask a question, because that’s how much of a science we have will tell you what’s happening, what’s going on. And that’s why I can get to the core very quickly as soon as I know that sequence. And so can you once you know your sequence, then you can understand not only you have your spouse, your children, do you have three children now you’ll know how to bring them up in three different ways if they have different sequences.
Samantha (34:06):
Wow, I love it so much. If there was one thing that you’d like to leave our listeners with today, what would it be?
Dr. Philip (34:17):
I would tell them, It’s okay. Just everybody just say it’s okay. Say three times. It’s just, it’s okay. To realize there is nothing wrong with you. You’re just in protection. And ask yourself this question as you’re going through stress. Why am I protecting myself? It’s a really powerful sentence.
And then imagine knowing why. And then now you have the antidote, you actually have a way to switch it off instantly, immediately, so that you can go go down the road that you want to go down instead of the other one that’s trying to show you what you’ve been doing to yourself. And those are the I would like to leave those with them.
Samantha (35:03):
Love it. Dr. Philip Agrios thank you so much for joining me here today. It’s been an absolute pleasure.
Dr. Philip (35:09):
Oh, thank you so much. I had a blast. I hope you’re already took away some things so they can help them immediately.
