Omar Usman – Decisive Deep Dive Prepare To Be Wrong WRAP Framework

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.

dive that I've linked to in the description

resources to help you master the art of

decision making.
