Our program uses “Experiences” to prevent this problem from continuing.
Our program started in 2000. It started as a training tool to help our nationwide tax preparers be more successful in their home tax preparation businesses. We call them Tax Moms and CPA Moms. Based on the success of the program with our tax preparers, in 2003, a new program was developed called “Just Wait Teens.” An application was made to the IRS for a 501 (c)(3) status. This status was and is approved. The Tax Moms and CPA Moms are major supporters of this program.
Just Wait Teens™ uses Emotional Intelligence to prevent teenage alcohol, tobacco, and drug problems. It offers a $1000 award to every teenager who completes four years of the Ninergy Experience,™ graduates from high school and is alcohol, tobacco, and drug free.
The Just Wait Teen™ Program Description
The method used is to encourage teens learn how to use their Temperament, Talents, Attributes, Gifts (TAGs) and their Emotional Quotient (EQ) to be more effective in school, in their community, and at home.
This is achieved by exposing the participants to a series of “Experiences” over a 4 year period. Forty eight in total. One per month. The net effect of this exposure is that it increases the teen’s self esteem, and thus their effectiveness.
This is a self-confronting system to teach people how to do the right thing, at the right time, to the right degree, with the right person and to achieve the right result.
The process is to help teens know themselves by increasing their awareness, recognize their patterns and feelings. This first step is to understand their specific temperament. There are nine predefined temperaments. Each participant encounters 10 experiences to learn which one of the nine temperaments is theirs.
The second step is consciously directing their thoughts, feelings, and actions into strengths They will be introduced to 10 experiences that help them recognize their top 5 out of 28 Talents, Attributes, and Gifts (TAGs). They are to consciously put themselves into positions to turn these TAGs into strengths.
Finally they are to understand their purpose. They are to align their daily choices with their larger sense of purpose. As they unlock the desire of their heart, they will realize the full power of their potential. They’ll participate in 28 more experiences to increase their Emotional Quotient (EQ’s) to achieve this purpose. One of the first EQ experiences they encounter is the Secret of Joy.
The Secret of Joy Experience
This experience is designed to help a person find what brings them joy. In this experience, each person will be given “virtual” money to spend on whatever brings them joy. When one signs up at the web site www.thesecretojoy.com, at no cost, every 2-3 days an eMoney Gram will inform them that an ever increasing amount of “virtual” money will be deposited into their “virtual” account. They are to spend the money, write checks, and record their thoughts and feelings. They MUST do this before the next deposit is made in 2-3 days. This process continues for weeks.
As a person receives more and more money, they finally realize that money cannot buy joy. They start realizing their larger sense of purpose. They start making daily decisions to achieve this larger purpose.
The second of the EQ experiences is the Non-Complaining Bracelet. There are 26 more, but they will not be described.
Non-Complaining Bracelet Experience
This is an experience in which a person can eliminate the negatives from one’s life. A person wears a bracelet and tries to go 21 days without complaining. If they find themselves complaining during that time period they must switch the bracelet to the other arm and start over.

“During a 7th Annual FREE Ninergy Experience in South Carolina, we had representatives from all nine temperaments. It was amazing how we all worked together to solve problems. We all took different approaches to find a solution. This resulted in the best possible solution. Then we also noticed a real funny offshoot from our workshop.
When you understand where the other person is coming from, you also understand their strengths and weaknesses. You tend to jump in to compensate for their weaknesses and provide an additional amount of input to solve the problem.
This working together to solve a common problem from different points of views results in another amazing thing. You all tend to become extremely likable. You make friends with people you have never met before. Not just a casual friendship but you really have feelings for these people. You respect their point of view because you understand them better than you have ever understood another human being in your life.
This is very powerful in bringing together a sales force. You all need to be on the same team. This is easy to say, but never easy to accomplish. With Ninergy, you actually accomplish this. You are all on the same team. You are allowed to approach the problem with your own strengths and not confined to the approach as dictated by the leader.”
