Dean Graziosi describes how listing his fears and creating a committed action plan, which he called his 'ten commandments,' helped him solve a relationship crisis. The core idea: one catalytic decision can produce outsized results in business and life.
What's the one catalyst decision I can make right now that makes the gains that 20 other decisions wouldn't make?
I have to tell you, I've done this in business so much, and I didn't do it in my personal life up until that moment. And it gave me more empathy and more drive to be better at pushing people to uncomfortable action. I know you've watched this. With my relationship with Lisa and getting through that, I'd say, what are the odds? What can I do? How do I solve this problem? I get to my personal life, I feel crippled by it. And I'll tell you what I did, and maybe you could model this. I wrote down all the things that I was afraid of. As I'm looking at all the things that stressed me out and then all the things that I could potentially do, all I kept saying is, what is the one thing I could do that solves all of this? I wrote her ten commandments. I wrote these commandments. I'm gonna stick to it. So if you're going through something in business and life, write down all the things you're stressed about, all the things that you could do to change it, and then look at the compound effect. What's one thing you can do that shifts everything.
