The last step of the wrap framework is
p, prepare to be wrong. And what that
means is that, okay, you may widen your
options, attain distance before deciding, reality test, do
all these different things, try to overcome your
biases, overcome your emotion,
all of that,
but still, you need something to signal to
you if you're going down the wrong path.
How do you do that? There's a famous
story about the rock band Van Halen for
basically being divas, that they would have in
their lengthy contract rider
that they wanted a bowl of M and
M's in their dressing room with all the
brown ones taken out, and this was something
that they hid somewhere in the middle of
that contract rider. Now the reason that they
did this
was they had a very they had a
lot of requirements for their shows. They were
doing a lot of innovative things with the
lighting and all of that that wasn't very
common. And so if their instructions weren't followed
exactly, it would create a big problem in
the show and it might actually even create
safety concerns or create a hazard.
And so what this did is they could
walk into the dressing room
and look at that bowl of M and
M's and they would know immediately.
Did the organizers of this event
pay attention to all the details that we
put in? If there's no brown M and
M's, it's a good indicator that yes, everything
is probably
taken care of very well.
But if they found a bowl of M
and M's
with the brown ones left in there, it
was a signal to them that they didn't
pay attention,
and we're gonna need to go back and
verify every single step of the setup process.
So they created this trip wire, something they
could very easily look to and say, okay,
this worked, okay, that didn't work.
In that first video with the banana bread,
that will be the example of setting that
limit of investing 2,500
and revisiting it after 8 months. And we
can apply this to all types of decisions.
Take take the example of gym membership. We
all struggle, should I get the gym membership,
should I get the gym membership, I don't
wanna just get it and then not use
it. Well here's a very easy way, set
a tripwire, create a framework for yourself.
Get the gym membership and then set a
reminder on your calendar
that 3 months from now, if I haven't
visited the gym at least twice a week,
I'm going to cancel the membership because I
know I'm wasting my money. But if after
3 months I've been going 2 or 3
times a week, now I can be satisfied
that I made the right decision, I can
be confident in that decision,
and now retain that gym membership.
Setting that trip wire is a good way
even after you've done all the other steps
to give yourself that final something to alert
you to whether you've made the right decision
or not. That's the last step in the
wrap framework. Hope you enjoyed this video series.
