Most people use a psychological binary to make a judgment and say, yes, this works, no, this doesn't work. So it's not a problem to be solved. It's a dichotomy to be managed. And so those two understandings have underpinned a lot of the breakthroughs in terms of how I think through things that have served me well. If you ask stupid questions, you get stupid answers. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. But my goal for everyone here in Mosination is that we do not play stupid games and not win super prizes, but instead get exactly what we desire.
It’s all about changing the way you think. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares his thinking frameworks for problem-solving in business. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between problems to be solved and dichotomies to be managed, and of thinking in continuums rather than binaries, to achieve more accurate decision-making.
