The first mental mistake is mistaking a dichotomy for a problem that needs to be solved. We like to label things as yes or no, but biology and reality exists on continuums. It's not whether you are diabetic when the reality is how diabetic are you. And so our brain uses binaries as placeholders for decision making to store data. All of these binary decisions start adding up and you start getting more inaccurate.
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.
Welcome to The Game w/Alex Hormozi, hosted by entrepreneur, founder, investor, author, public speaker, and content creator Alex Hormozi.
