Here’ s quick, two-part decision-making test before making a bold move.
- Think of someone whom you admire and respect highly. Best if they’re an idol of yours. Now, if this person did the bold move you’re considering, how would you feel? Would you still admire and respect this person as highly?
- Think of someone who doesn’t impress you. Best if they’re a peer of yours. Now, if this person did the bold move you’re considering, how would you feel? Would they impress you any more?
Forget every other rule in the book.
Imagine, first, if these two guys made that same bold move.
