Watch on YouTube

The speaker introduces Suzy Welch’s 10-10-10 decision‑making framework, a simple tool for adding thoughtful, multi‑horizon perspective to any choice. Listeners are instructed to write down the decision they are weighing, then imagine how they will feel about it in three future intervals: 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years. By contrasting immediate emotional reactions with mid‑term and long‑term feelings, the method pushes users beyond the common focus on short‑term impact, encouraging more balanced and strategic choices. The speaker notes that the worksheet can be downloaded from recessionresponse.com, and points viewers to additional tips at mikemotorbike.com and more recession‑response resources at recessionresponse.com.

Considering how fast things are moving right now, we need a tool for thoughtful consideration. I want to share with you the 10-10-10 method. Now this document, you can download it@recessionresponse.com this is a tool developed by Susie Welch. It's documented in her book called 10-10-10. The idea is this. Write down what you're considering. Then write down how you will feel about that in the next 10 minutes. What's the sense of relief or excitement or frustration or fear. But then what? How do you feel about it in the next 10 months and then how will you feel about it in the next 10 years? Most considerations we think only about the immediate impact. That's the only consideration. But we need to consider the midterm and long term consequences. And by doing this you put much more thoughtful consideration into anything that's in front of you.
