Episode 239: The Bottom Line - Inversion Thinking

Charlie Munger's inversion thinking concept is a mental model that involves flipping the perspective of a problem, challenge, or decision-making process. Instead of focusing on what you need to do to achieve an outcome, this technique requires you to consider what you should avoid doing to prevent the undesired outcome. In other words, you start with the end goal in mind and work backward to identify the obstacles that may hinder your progress.Learn how to implement inversion thinking in this episode!> JOIN THE PRIVATE LEADERSHIP PODCAST COMMUNITY! <​This community has access to a seat at the live recordings for all Monday podcast episodes, monthly, live Q&As with our favorite podcast guests, a private community on Facebook, and more.  It launches June 1st, 2023 - grab your spot using this link: info.club.capital/communityThe Bottom Line is brought to you by Club Capital.
