Have you ever made a decision that you later regretted and wished you could take back? Tell me about it! But what if you had had a tool to help you think through your choices and determine how the decision would impact your life immediately, in the short term, and over a long period of time?
Wow, someone finally invented a magic wand! No, instead there’s a book you should check out by best-selling author Suzy Welch, a mother of four and a columnist for BusinessWeek and O, The Oprah Magazine called 10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea.
It provides you with a decision-making practice that is as simple as it is profound, a way to remove the emotion and uncertainty from decision-making and dramatically change how you make choices in your life.
The 10-10-10 way to decide
With every decision, Suzy shows you how to consider your options and their consequences in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years, and then compare them to your own set of values. The goal of this practice is an authentic life through which consistency replaces chaos and guilt replaces joy.
While the 10-10-10 Life-Transforming Idea may not always be easy to apply, it should help you think things through in a truly significant way, explain them clearly to others, and prepare for the consequences of your decisions.
Not only will it help you feel better and more confident about your choices, but Suzy shows you how to use the 10-10-10 method to teach your children to make good decisions on their own, and to build trust between you and your kids.
