Yesterday I was explaining how not to fall into the sunk cost fallacy trap, as well as why Stu calls his wife Pumpkin. 

Speaking of how she always gets smashed around the holidays…

Dave and I went to see a magician perform and here’s how it went: 

Magician: *performs incredible trick* 

Dangerous Dave: How did you do that?

Magician: It’s a secret if I told you I’d have to kill you.

Dangerous Dave: *thinks for a minute* Well then can you tell my ex-wife?

Magician: 

Audience: 

In other news from my BCS podcast…

The most convincing sign that someone is living their best life, is their lack of desire to show the world they’re living their best life.

Your best life won’t seek validation.

Anyhoo…

Your one PROFIT ACCELERATION THING today is: 

‘Law of Triviality’

A powerful mental model.

A major reason many businesses fail and why our govt’s waste an insane amount…

… The Law of Triviality.  

It’s common to spend a disproportionate amount of time on ‘trivial’ issues at the expense of more complex problems.

The government will avoid bottleneck traffic issues that stop the city from growing… instead, they spend an inordinate amount of time planting flowers in the local park or building a bike path.

The local school spends time on the yearbook rather than updating their curriculum.

The yearbook and bike path are not needle moving problems and the curriculum and traffic issues are.

Your high-end coaching clients are often doing the same.

Little rocks versus BIG ROCKS. 

Spend time IDENTIFYING AND SOLVING BIG PROBLEMS and many other client problems instantly disappear.

It’s hard… but worth it.

Said differently:

A real mentor can tell you what not to do. 

Tell the others. 

Now, pick up the phone and go help someone.

Obsessed with your business coaching success,
