The Three Protocols #8
Bubble wrap, out in the wild, and paying the price.
With Heroic Elite, we embrace the reality that life isn’t perfect. (News flash!)
That’s why we use The Three Protocols to guide how we show up every day:
1. Bubble Wrap Protocol
2. Out in the Wild Protocol
3. Paying the Price Protocol
Each protocol serves a unique purpose, ensuring you stay consistent with your Top 10 +1 Daily Targets—no matter what life throws your way.
The goal?
To never skip, even when things get tough.
The Three Protocols
1. Bubble Wrap Protocol: Also known as the “Sharpen the Saw” protocol a la Stephen Covey’s 7th habit. You’ve got to renew yourself.
- This is when life is calm, and you can do it all exactly as planned.
- You execute your daily targets with precision—every step, every detail, fully wrapped in structure.
- These days are powerful because they build confidence, momentum and help you reboot.
2. Out in the Wild Protocol:
- This is where life happens. You’re navigating unpredictability, adapting to challenges, and staying intentional with your targets.
- It’s not perfect, but you remain steady, showing up and staying on track even amidst chaos.
3. Paying the Price Protocol:
- These are the days where life gets messy, and perfections impossible.
- You prioritize the essentials, focusing on what truly matters now as you push yourself.
- Paying the price doesn’t mean doing less—it means showing up with the same intensity and commitment, even if it looks different.
Each protocol reflects a different way to engage with your mission:
- On Bubble Wrap days, you thrive and you restore with precision.
- In Out in the Wild, you adapt and stay grounded.
- While Paying the Price, you lean into the essentials, refusing to skip on the basic foundation elements.
The key is intentionality—knowing which protocol fits your day and committing fully to it.
So, let’s activate your soul force and master your Top 10 +1 via the three protocols.
