Options

  • One Option is No Choice
  • Two Options is a dilemma

  • Upsides & Downsides of each option
  • What could you gain or what would it cost you?

Evaluate

  • How important is each upside/downside in terms of meeting your outcomes (Scale 0-10)
  • What is the probability that the upside/downside will occur (0-100%)
  • What is the emotional benefit or consequence if this option were to actually happen?

Mitigate

Resolve

  • Resolve that no matter what happens, this option will give you a win
  • Design your plan for implementation & then take massive action. Develop a plan for its attainment
