Better thinking is your #1 money saving strategy

The idea of thinking better isn’t novel.

But figuring out how to constantly think better comes with challenges.

You can’t ping your peers, mastermind group, or coach for every single little decision that you want help making.

You have to rely on your intuition and reasoning.

But that comes with assumptions and biases that blind you to available creative solutions.

Use this ThinkWithAI prompt to get an on-demand thought partner that uses your intuition and reasoning to figure out creative solutions to every single decision you have to make.

Be less afraid of taking risk

Taking risk is a skillset.

The skill that needs to be learned is thinking in bets.

Thinking in Bets comes from professional poker player Annie Duke (it’s a great book).

Annie’s poker experience taught her that life is not a game of chess. It’s not a strategy game.

It’s a probability game.

And people that think in bets are able to properly assess risk.

These people take better, more calculated risks.

And win more.

You can use this ThinkWithAI prompt to start playing in probabilities.

Never go with your first assumption

Tom W. is meek and keeps to himself. He likes soft music and wears glasses.

Which profession is Tom W. more likely to be?

1) Librarian

2) Construction worker

You’re immediately drawn to categorize Tom as a librarian because of his description.

But is his description the most important piece of information here?

Nope. But your mind certainly didn’t tell you that.

The right approach is to think about the chances of Tom being a librarian vs. a construction worker.

For every 1 librarian in the U.S. there are 51 construction workers.

Which means that statistically it is 51 times more likely that Tom is a construction worker.

Welcome to your brain’s assumption stack.

We like to make quick judgements. And then never question them.

Avoid making decisions based on your first assumption with this ThinkWithAI prompt.

Figure out how you need help and go straight to the experts

• You’ve bought the wrong course

• You’ve hired the wrong consultant

• You’ve asked the wrong person for advice

This happens constantly.

Why?

Because we just want to solve our knowledge gap.

So we grab the first piece of information that looks like a solution.

Instead of making sure that we have a full understanding of our knowledge gap so we’re confident we’re getting the right information.

Use this ThinkWithAI prompt to plug in data so you can fill in your knowledge gap and pay for the right information the first time around.

Don’t be afraid of hard conversations

Avoiding hard conversations is easy.

It’s the ultimate procrastination.

And, obviously, a terrible idea.

The issue is that we think hard conversations have to be uncomfortable.

But they actually don’t.

Uncomfortable conversations are a lack of skill in understanding how to have a hard conversation.

Use Leila Hormozi’s framework for building a loyal and excited team to figure out exactly how to approach a hard conversation.
