Covid- 19 The True Destructive Force that is Coming
By: Tristen Christopherson and Kevin Hogan
As a millennial, I see and feel the immense impact of the the information we are exposed to and the way our behaviors and thoughts change due to this exposure. In previous years, I have seen a vast majority of online users create, share, and comment on memes that have no stance of validity in their creation and/or visual statements. Being that this is the first situation of global mass viral spread that I am old enough to understand and analyze, I start to question whether the images and statements being shared are more infectious and symptomatic than the actual coronavirus itself. I had the opportunity to interview my business partner Kevin to expand on the concept of fear, what it does to us physically and mentally, and how this impacts us personally and professionally worldwide. Enjoy… Tristen Christopherson
T.C. There’s so many posts online of people talking about how in every single store, all of the soap is bought out, but it will be around five people who were the ones that purchased ALL of the soap in the store, and probably surrounding stores too. On top of that, memes are far more viral than the coronavirus itself at this moment, saying things like “for the people who bought 40 soap dispensers and didn’t leave any left at Target – now there’s none for anyone else. Defeats the purpose.”You know, so people are freaking out and now they’re reacting inappropriately because they’re believing this garbage that they’re constantly exposed to online.
K.H. Yes, that’s correct.
T.C. So why?
K.H. FIRST. Let’s note that we don’t have any good mathematical data on the CV19. I was running projections based on current reports and nothing impressive comes up. The virus fizzles out after a half million people have gotten it. 25,000 worldwide die. It’s all going to come down to how easily the hand off from person A to person B is. And then just what percentage of people are simply not going to be impacted. And thus we know absolutely nothing. But I’ve seen projections from super forecasters that I’ve competed against that range from this being totally irrelevant to almost zombie apocalypse. All these people are super intelligent people that forecast well using different guesstimates of data projection.
BECAUSE of this absolute lack of data, it FEELS to me like a bizarre media game and it IS one big meme. The virus is real as are all strains of the flu. Lots of old people and a few babies are going to die on the planet, but it’s still hard for me to wrap my mind around anyone’s level of certainty as to some massive apocalyptic period, because my level of certainty on this is very low and I’ve pored through the numbers.
I was in Chile 5 days ago. I shopped twice this week in the U.S.. I’ve spoken to clients on Skype in Serbia. Same story everywhere. People are acting like they have data that supports a zombie apocalypse. Some stores: Certain products gone like bread, water, bleach, soap. Other stores, it’s ALL gone.
And before you think I don’t take stuff like this seriously, know that I own plenty of property outside Minnesota in preparation for the Zombie Apocalypse, because the chance of catastrophic behavior in the U.S. is greater than 1% in any given year. But I’m here at home talking with you and I see no viral reason to freak out, but my radar is up for people freaking out because of fear.
Here’s what I THINK ABOUT: Someone walks into the store and says, “holy crap, there’s scarcity here,” and as soon as scarcity enters the picture, humans don’t just get scared, they get desperate. And then people do stupid things.
The virus is NOT the story here we’ll be talking about in a year. THE FEAR is (GOING TO BE) THE STORY.
T.C. So why, when the principle of fear is applied, do we not as a society, or just people in general… why do we not go the extra mile and look for the actual facts and research a little bit instead of just believing the things that we see first?
K.H. Well, yeah, because we always believe the first heard story.
The very first story that you hear about something or someone is what you end up believing. So, if you’re going to get a job, and somebody called your boss before you got their future boss and said, “Hey, this person’s really good. He’s really smart…” and all that kind of stuff.
That’s the very first thing he hears about you. That’s what you believe. What was the first thing you heard about the novel coronavirus?
The first thing you heard about the Coronavirus is that it was deadly, that people were dying, that millions were kept behind closed doors in China. What if we got this horrible Chinese virus?
Ooh, that would be bad.
So now, all the fears are coming. It’s not only Coronavirus, which is like a nickname for a virus traveling around the world now.. but what about the flu? You go to the doctor, you know you have the flu…
What is it? Well, it’s actually influenza strain 1470-43112A7Q4, that’s the strain of the flu. But you don’t take that home and sit there and go, You know what? I’ve got 1470 -43112A7Q4 so I must…..
T.C. If you are me, you do! So what does fear do to the immune system?
K.H. Fear is a disaster because fear causes stress hormones to be released like cortisol and such, and that sucks because I mean, it keeps you alive; that should happen and it keeps you like kind of alert and all that and makes you run faster and work harder and do all those kind of things… but in short bursts.
Once it gets past an hour, half hour, now it makes you turn into a stupid person and it turns you into an unhealthy person. This is what starts to break down your immune system. Your immune system is a really pretty powerful thing.
20% of people’s immune systems are not impressive, but 80% of people do have a pretty remarkable immune system. As kids, little teeny babies when they’re like six months old, they haven’t gone through enough of life to build a strong immune system yet. They don’t have enough experiences with all the emotions and all the germs of life. That’s very impressive. They die. Easy.
Older people, when they hit 85 to 90, those people’s immune systems were fine. They were just dandy fine, but they got older. And as they got older, their body starts to break down, the DNA inside of their body breaks down. It’s just the way it goes. It’d be nice if it didn’t. But it’s not the way that it works, and older people’s immune systems get compromised. Pretty simple. It doesn’t take a lot to take down a lot of old people, all of that aside- usually old people don’t die of the flu.
So a large number of people have a pretty good immune system, which means that most people, if they were allowed to get the flu, or even the coronavirus, they’re going to be fine because of that. It’s not going to be that big of a deal. But it doesn’t mean that people won’t die though, they will of course get the virus.
T.C. So in the aspect of fear, how should people continue on in business? Or start to reroute themselves?
K.H. Yeah, you know, you do have a choice.
First of all, Howard Hughes lived to the ripe old age of 90 in Las Vegas in his hotel room. He was one of my heroes. He was eccentric but I liked him. He never went and talked to people. He kept himself away from all humans, and I found that rather attractive about him. But, it’s also sort of like a lot of people don’t want to live an antisocial. life So for the people who want to live the antisocial life, they get nervous, right? They get nervous and they get scared and so they go hang around with people. And then they cough, right? Just like the little one in our house coughed today a couple times. And so you could sit there and, the first thing you think of…
“Oh, he’s got the coronavirus.”
Now, six weeks ago, you hear your little two year old kid, grandson, son, (pick a relationship) and you hear him cough and you say “now he’s catching a cold probably.”
They think, “oh darn, he’s getting a cold. That sucks,” right?
And so now the fear gets inside of the kid who doesn’t even know he’s sick. The kid is going to be fine. He’s two. He’s healthy. So who messes the kid up? The dad, the mom, they mess the kid up. They show terror and fear, “oh my god is everything going to be okay?” … and that of course, through simple mirror neurons, technology of the brain mirrors ego so the kid starts to feel the things that the mom or the dad feel. That’s why the best thing to always do around the kid is go “it’ll be fine.”
Now, it’s okay to later freak out after the kid goes to bed and go, “holy f**k, my kid’s going to die”. That’s fine. It’s all okay as long as you get over it by the next morning.
So you have to think what message do you want to stick in your kid? How do you how do you want to program the other person opposite you to behave differently? In hypnosis, we learned that 45 – 55% of all people that are going to experience the very strong placebo effect, we can tell that person damn near anything; their body, their brain, not their belief system though… their body will respond to it based on what their brain hears and interprets long before they think about it tomorrow at lunch.
T.C. So for all of the small business owners and people like that… people are freaking out and now people aren’t going to work. With programming other people to behave the way that you want them to, or how they think; is that how people should still be portraying business progression, with how things are going on social platform and things like that?
K.H. This IS THE STORY….
Jim, our UPS guy, he came over the other day. And he says, “you know, I’ve delivered three generators today, two generators here to one lady and another lady got three generators. I’m completely out of diapers at the Amazon facility and completely out of toilet paper, napkins and paper towels, cleaning products, bleach… it’s all gone. They don’t have any in the facility.”
So those are the ways you handle business now. Instead of trying to do business in a coffee shop, crowded restaurant, Main Street, or if you’re concerned about health issues, you don’t have to join in, but you can simply say “if you’re concerned about health issues, we deliver with people who actually wash their hands before they come to the house and understand the importance of hygiene at this time in my career. So you’re safe eating with us”, for example. This can be applied to any type of business.
So you can actually absolutely appeal to people who are terrified and fear the fear mongering. And here’s the secret: one of the things Jim said was, “you know, Kevin, I handle every single package within a 10 mile radius of your house. I not only pick them up at the facility where they were handled by 10 other people on the way to my facility, but I bring them to you and I pick up your stuff and I take it to other people. That’s my job. Here I am just working”.
And I said, “how many of your guys are sick?”. He said, “None.”
There’s not much to get sick from even though they handle it. At this moment, detected and reported coronavirus is RARE. Now there’s hundreds that have the flu, and of course Jim is still healthy. Why is he healthy?
Because the chances of getting it by touching something are tiny. Only about maybe 1 in 100 people will get the flu from touching something this year, but they will get the flu in the next 10 years. One or two or three years, better chances. You know, but right now, especially when it’s cold outside, try having a cold and getting the virus outside in Minnesota when it’s 20 below zero. Let’s see how that plays out.
That’s fear. People are fear. So when he gave me his package, I just kissed it. I said, “Here’s to the virus. Hopefully it’s good for UPS. Everything will be fine. You guys are great”.
He says “God, Kevin, if you get a chance to tell people to just calm down. Everything really is okay.”
I said you’d have to convince me. But, you know, you and I are fine. You know, but we’re not scared. So we’re going to live, but the people who are terrified, their immune systems will die. And a chunk of those people will die. And it’s real. It’s very real.
T.C. So.. fear in the stock market…?
K.H. Fear in the stock market. I was leaning toward staying in the market. A week ago Thursday, I was sitting in Santiago, Chile. I with Bianca and I said, “You know, I think I might pull out. But you know what, it’s stupid because it’s just people’s fear”.
She said, “You know, people are afraid of fear. Nobody knows anything about the stock market, even the people that are in the market.”
And then it hit me hard. “You know what, I think I’m getting out of the market,”, because that’s a pretty good argument right there.
We’re not afraid of what’s real, we’re afraid of what’s imagined. And the fear of imagination now, when the world markets was worth say $90 trillion, we had $90 trillion 10 days ago on this planet now we have $72 trillion. People think that one trillion is a lot of money, it’s not, it’s UNFATHOMABLE and it is underestimated greatly.
And in these panicky situations, gold SHOULD skyrocket. It dropped over a hundred bucks this week. That means simple market manipulation again. When people manipulate markets you KNOW something is amiss… now what might that be???
Be prepared for dramatic swings.
T.C. So when you attach an identity to something it becomes more likely that people will be scared?
K.H. Yes, that’s beautifully said. When you attach an identity to something, if it’s about fear, it becomes very scary. When I was a kid, I was in North Carolina, and we were at Myrtle Beach. There was a guy on the dock going into the ocean and he had a hammerhead shark that was about three feet long (one meter), and he had a knife in it’s head.
My little brothers and I were there, I was 15 at the time, and I said, “wow, that is a massive thing”. The guy looks up at me and he said, “that’s the baby. The mama is bigger than you and those two other brothers of yours, stacked on top of each other all together”.
I’m like, “you mean he’s nine feet tall!?”
He says, “No, she’s bigger than that. 15 feet”.
I thought, wow, 15 feet. I’m not going back in today.
Now here’s the deal. The baby shark made it to the pier, but in consideration to the grand total including the number of people that are bitten by a shark in the Atlantic Ocean…. when it comes down to it: there’s no reason to be afraid more of sharks than the fatality rate of drowning. Even more than that, it’s much much more likely we’ll get hit in a car accident on the way home. But of course – we’re afraid of the one thing because it’s really ugly looking at the shark with a knife in it’s head.
T.C. Let that be the message that carries people through the week. Right.
K.H. Hammerhead shark with the knife in its head, and there’s the connection…in the fear…. and that’s the coronavirus.
We saw it.
It has a name.
If you wouldn’t have told me it was a shark, and instead said it was a fish… well who’s afraid of fish?
Nobody’s afraid of fish. They’re just kinda gross and a little slimy when they go up to you and they kind of swim around you and end up touching against your legs. You get hundreds of fish they just slime they go up to you and they like literally grow all around you and yeah, it’s kind of weird, right? Yeah, it’s all kind of crazy.
But nobody’s afraid of them because they just come and they go; they want you to feed them and you feed them and they come. And then all of a sudden hundreds come and they all feed them. They go eventually when you don’t have anymore food, anything more to offer them. They leave when you don’t provide something that gives them energy to grow. But the thing is, that his name is hammerhead shark?
If it was a “hammerhead seal,” he’d go off, do his own thing and people wouldn’t want to provide harm or even consider the weight of the entity in the concept of fear. Why are you hurting that little hammerhead seal? He’s cute.
T.C. So people need to turn their fears into fish and stop feeding the fish?
K.H. I think if it was your grandfather, he’d just say “you know what, you’re probably catching a cold”.
99.99% of all people who cough today were thinking that they had the coronavirus, but they really just have the beginning of the cold. That’s the other alternative right there. Those two things. That’s the deal.
Decision Point: The Kevin Hogan E-Course
Discover a System of Decision Making That Will Clear the Way to Success
Course begins: March 24, 2020
If you’ve ever taken one of my Course Intensives, yes, it’s like them!
The Decision Point Course lasts 7 weeks and has more than 20 modules. You set your own schedule – you don’t have to be “in class” at any particular time each day. You get VIP access to a secret members-only section of the KevinHogan.com site and can log in at any time.
Registration today for the course that begins this week allows you to save $700 off the $1,995 price to the public.
If you could point to one word, to one factor, to one element or cause of what happens to you in your life, it is decision.
Which one of these have you been experiencing in the last year?
Moving is always tough but when there are more than one person’s job or one person going to a school that they love and the possibility of leaving friends behind makes for what many consider an impossible decision. What do YOU decide? How do you decide?
Your investments have done OK but your total income saved for your future is not enough. There are a lot of options you’ve been told about but you really don’t know what to do. What will you decide? How will you decide?
You are a manager at your company and only have enough budget to pursue one product line. You can choose between an almost sure thing with a very modest return or a riskier proposal that could make you a superstar. What do you decide? How do you make the decision?
You’re on your way home for the holidays. You get stuck in bad weather and are put up at a local hotel. In the bar that night a beautiful woman strikes up a conversation with you and she has offered you the key to her room. What will you decide?
A relative lives with you. They take advantage of you but you can’t let them go because you don’t know what will happen to them. What is the right thing to do and will that thing be what you decide? How will you decide?
An elderly relative lives with you. They can’t take care of themselves anymore. You hate the idea of a nursing home or “worse.” You also want “a life.” What will you decide to do?
Your wife is two months pregnant. A test reveals the baby is going to be born with a disease that will require your 24/7 care for the rest of your life. She decides she wants to keep the baby. But you haven’t made your decision. What will you decide to do? How will you make the decision?
Your home has a horrible defect that you can cover easily in the selling process and the defect almost certainly won’t be discovered for years. Revealing it will reduce the price of your home $100,000. What will you decide to do? How will you decide?
You can stay at your present job which you really don’t like that much and live on a predictable but very modest income or you can pursue a venture that has about a 70% chance of success and if it succeeds, you would double your income. What do you decide to do? How do you decide?
I feel great about the timing in my life now…
Just wanted to thank you. I took your Decision Point Course earlier this year, and have put the ideas into practice. I knew I wanted to leave my job but didn’t seem able to decide when, how, etc. Well, using what I learned from you, I was able to make a very definitive decision about NOW being the time. I feel great about the timing in my life now and at peace with the decisions, I made. This means so much to me! Mahalo nui loa (thank you so very much).
You’ve been thinking of getting a divorce but you’re just not sure. There are other fish in the sea but you wonder if you can still compete? Can you do better? What about the kids? What do you DECIDE? How do you decide?
You are involved in a custody battle for your children. One of the kids is misbehaving terribly and you don’t know whether you should spank them or discipline them firmly. The result could easily affect the results of the custody hearing. What do you do? How do you decide?
Two women have taken a liking to you. You date them both for some time. They both begin to talk about moving in and a permanent relationship. One is the kind of person you feel comfortable with and would be easy to love. The other is 10 years younger and is celebrity beautiful. Unfortunately, she knows it and enjoys being the center of attention. What do you decide? How do you decide?
And those are just a few of the decisions that face real people every day. Decisions that people are forced into and have no idea what to do or how to do it.
THIS COURSE shows you how to make ALL of the decisions above.
And it’s important to note, that the right decision easily can be different from person to person. Knowing how to evaluate THAT is crucial to everything you will do…but no one ever does it….
Kevin is always ahead of the game…
As a psychotherapist, I work in the minefield of decision-making and I can tell you that making good decisions is critical to happiness, success, and relationships. Kevin Hogan’s course covers the terrain of decision-making with his usual thoroughness, candor, and relevance. Kevin is always ahead of the game because of his extensive research, vast and varied connections and sharp mind. His thinking about ‘high noon’ and light a fuse, if applied, would save many relationships and learning the concept alone is more than worth the price of admission.
This is not like other online courses you’ve taken. With me, you will have instruction in several media forms. Video, audio, and text. There is NO specific time you must meet with me every day, but you will have special VIP email access to me throughout the course. And you will have access to the members’ only discussion group.
About 50% of the people who take my courses collect all the materials and work at their own pace later. The other half work with me and sometimes with other participants when necessary, on projects that are necessary to learn how to make the RIGHT DECISIONS.
My Courses are universally known to be challenging, results-oriented, pragmatic and show you EXACTLY how to get where you want to go.
It’s the Decision Point
Decision making is a function of thinking that almost 90% of people do very poorly. Most people think that if something turns out well, they made a good decision. If something turns out poorly they made a bad decision.
And that conditioning is one of the biggest reasons why people are poor decision makers.
Decision making is first and foremost about MAKING DECISIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Every day, people vacillate on making changes in their lives that they KNOW are absolutely necessary, but they decide to do nothing and hope for the best, only to live a life where nothing ever changes.
This is where we begin.
Elimination of PROCRASTINATION and VACILLATION.
You will learn how to recognize situations where you are about to commit acts of self-sabotage. I’ll show you how to identify it long before it becomes an issue. I’ll show you how to crush self-sabotage so you can make a CHOICE instead of only having the ability to stay with the Status Quo.
This first week’s module alone will be worth the investment in the course.
How would you like to NEVER procrastinate again?
What would happen if you could actually MOVE in the DIRECTION that you want to, even if it is ONLY AWAY FROM WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?!
By the end of week one, you will have daily projects to do for several weeks that will almost literally beat the habits of self-sabotage and procrastination from your life.
Most people don’t know that procrastination is a habit you picked up, but it is NOT your fault.
The same is true of self-sabotage.
I will explain why, where it all started, why it happens to everyone and why it must be eradicated intentionally and with no little effort. By the END of the course, IF YOU FOLLOW the Decision Point Plan, you will have eliminated procrastination and almost all forms of self-sabotage.
I’ll show in detail why self-sabotage is a little trickier and lurks in EVERYONE’S backyard waiting to strike. I’ll show you how to get rid of it and then prevent it so you never have to deal with it in the future.
And that is only week one! How we doin’ so far?!
Decision IS Destiny
You make decisions all the time. Generally speaking, the more decisions a person makes, the more successful they are.
The better a person is at making decisions, the more successful they are.
When you move from your old home to the home you are in now; maybe you moved because you wanted a bigger house, or to put the kids in a better school district. Maybe it was just closer to where your job is…more convenient.
And of course, in the case of uprooting and moving your family, you’re talking about a lot of variables, a lot of things to consider. You’re going to find out how to make the right decision in which house to buy and where to move.
What about leaving your job for some other opportunity?
FEAR enters the picture quite clearly and because the future is seemingly unpredictable, you feel frozen or stuck as to what to do, so you immediately default to stay in your same job. But there is a way to make this decision much easier. And you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you do….
But there are also the smaller decisions of life.
- Which movie to go see…
- Which show to watch on TV….
- What to make for dinner…
- Whether to go to the game or stay home….
- Whether to take a vacation with or without the kids…
- Whether to wear blue or black…
There is a simple method that takes little thinking at all to make these day to day decisions.
And then there are decisions that you make that influence other people’s lives like taking a new job, going into business for yourself, moving to a new area, having a surgery that has risks involved….
How do you know what to do? Don’t worry, most people haven’t got a clue as to how to make the right decision every time, and there is a right decision to make.
Then there are Destiny Decisions…those decisions that you make that will literally determine where you are going to be in three years or five years.
These are REALLY IMPORTANT decisions. Every day I see people screwing them up as if they are no big deal.
You’ll find out a methodical system that might take a very short amount of time or significantly longer, depending on circumstances. Nevertheless, you will find out exactly what to do every time.
Obviously, there are plenty of Black Swan’s (unexpected random events like hurricanes and terrorism) out there to get in the way of what you want in life, but nothing you can control impacts your life more than a decision).
Write that down.
Put it on the refrigerator.
That alone is worth $10,000, yes?
Nothing you can control impacts your life more than a decision.
How would life be different if you knew you were going to make the right decision, every time?
(Every time?!)
Did you know that in life, there is almost always the best decision?
What would happen if you had the method for decision making?
What would it be worth to have a simple systematic approach to decision making where the guidelines are from your head and heart?
Most people are paralyzed with uncertainty about whether they should:
- Ask the girl to marry them.
- Make a purchase.
- Move from one place to another…
- Quit their job…
- Decide between committing one person or another.
- Start a business…
- Ask the girl to go out with them…
- Send the letter or not…
- Decide between hiring one person or another.
- Get a divorce…
- Send your kids to public or private school…
- Choose from a new car, a used car, or no car…
- Go back to school to get more education…
- Fire the person or not.
- Invest in stocks, bonds, real estate and not screw up.
- Accurately plan for their future in all areas.
Why Do People Make Bad Decisions?
And…they make bad decisions because…we all have about 8-10 areas of failure in our brain….similar experiences where you make the wrong decisions over and over again.
(Like marrying the same guy five times, dating jerks, working for idiots, saying the wrong thing at the worst time, etc. Sound familiar?)
We’ll repair all of that. (If we don’t, life will be the same tomorrow as it has been in the past….)
Did you know there is a proven way to make the right decision in each of the above choices?
Now STOP.
For the sake of discussion, let’s assume that is correct. There IS a method you can use to make the RIGHT decision just about every time.
It doesn’t take a genius to think, “I decide to make more money,” “lose weight,” “get a better job,” “get married to perfect person x”.
LEGEND POINT: Learning the process of making the right decision involves making that decision STICK, be UNYIELDING and barring a Black Swan, guaranteeing you will follow through.
Over the last 15 years, we’ve been fortunate to have studied the raw information about how to make laser beam accurate decisions. Complex software programs have shown scientists how to simplify the decision making process using some mostly simple (sorry, it’s not ALL instantly easy!) rules.
And now, you don’t need the software or the computer anymore…
And, by the way, in the last 15 years, there has been an incredible amount of research done about decision making that teaches and uses VERY FAULTY processes, that can’t and don’t work.
LEGEND POINT: You’ll experience FIRST HAND, how what seems to be an obvious decision, is almost always the wrong one….the costly one…(often the disaster one….)
If you follow that teacher’s advice, you’ll flat out screw up.
You’ll end up with next to nothing and headaches and heartaches to boot.
Why?
People get emotional.
People are lazy.
They don’t do the research.
They don’t test.
Why should they?
They get paid the same no matter what and when YOU screw up, they just say, “you did it wrong.”
Play along for just a moment.
Can I ask you a question?
Have you ever read that it’s been proven that 93% of all communication is body language?
Of course, lots of times. Everyone has read that.
And of course, it’s not true.
(It’s not even close to accurate.)
How could that be, it’s common knowledge…isn’t it?
There was one study done by a brilliant communication researcher 35 years ago that evaluated people saying one word to another, with the other person only being able to see the person from the neck UP. (that leaves about 90% of the body out of the study.) In this one specific instance, Dr. Mehrabian found that about 93% of the communication sent was at a nonverbal level. Obviously when people communicate with more than one word and people can see below the neck, all kinds of factors change the percentages.
Problem is people read something in a book written by Goofball X and they believe what she writes because she says it’s “scientific.”
People look at their lives and think, “I did everything I was told…”
Yep and look at that life. It didn’t work.
The guru didn’t do the research. They went with the party line and taught that.
I don’t care about the party line because I don’t like the people at the party.
Remember when Benjamin Franklin did his famous experiment about testing each of the virtues (temperance and so forth) for a month so he could eventually become adept at all of them? I’ve heard most motivational speakers talk or write about this. I’d name them, but it would take an entire page…
Anyway…You remember… but he gave up the idea after the first week …he never did the experiment. He wrote early in his biography that he was going to do the project and then soon after decided not to. Basically, he said it was impossible to do such a thing.
I’ve never heard ANYONE get that right, either.
But THEY TEACH YOU TO DO IT…
And because you trust them YOU TRY IT and FAIL.
Franklin’s personal challenge didn’t work for all kinds of reasons I’ll show you later.
Question: Why did you believe he actually did the project?
Only one reason: …because someone you trusted or believed, an author, a teacher….told you that it was true.
Want a quick way to filter a crummy guru out?
If they tell you that story, they didn’t get very far in Franklin’s biography. If they tell you that, they’d tell you anything.
By the way…what did Franklin do instead?!
I’ll show you that at Decision Point, too.
The point is that MOST of the stuff people tell you to do…. that is “scientific,” that is based on laws of the universe or proven techniques is nothing more than their imagination having run wild.
…and following their advice will get you the same ultimate destination, every time…
Back to Start. (If you don’t go into foreclosure first.)
So why don’t the vast majority of people make good decisions?
Why are people AFRAID to make decisions at all?
They’ve been given crummy information and worse methods for how to choose and what to do.
It’s that simple.
(OK, there are eight other core reasons people make crummy decisions every day, but to pick on your neighbor here is so not cool…)
And what does the Power of Decision Point give you in life?
- Choice
- Personal freedom
- No limits
- The Ability to Succeed When Most Others Fail
- The Ability to Make Big Changes in Life with Ease and…
- Wealth if You Want It
- A LOT Better Life If You USE The Power of Decision
- Success when you use The Power of Decision.

I’ve never given the system for DECISION POINT to anyone.
I’m not going to write about it in Coffee….ever.
But the time is now to experience a truly transformational experience in an exciting and unique E-course.
I PROMISE YOU:
No one else is going to ever show you this information. You’ll never experience these experiences with anyone else. You can’t find anything remotely similar “out there.”
So essentially, you’re stuck spending seven weeks with me. As with all of my Course Intensives, I am your PERSONAL COACH and you don’t have to be at any specific place at any specific time. The program is delivered via audio, video, and text.
So what’s going to happen in these seven fascinating weeks?
I’ll personally show you the problems you face when you make decisions.
You’ll find out the impact of other people on your decision.
I’ll show you how to minimize the NEGATIVE impact of other people on your decisions, including the people you might love or work with every day.
You won’t regret your decisions anymore.
You’ll understand how to MINIMIZE RISK and MAXIMIZE RETURN on both business and personal decisions.
I’ll show you EXACTLY what to do when the RIGHT decision you determine, FEELS completely wrong.
Finding out how your beliefs, faith, values and lifestyle factor into your decisions matters a lot to you. No one else shows you how to be true to yourself and others around you while you decide for your Self or for many.
At the end of the course, you will have one cool, big Coffee Table-Sized Manual that you will be able to refer to forever.

This course is such a huge eye-opener!
I’m finding the Decision Point Course absolutely fascinating. Firstly, because I had totally underestimated the value and effect of decisions on our lives. Secondly, I’ve always been aware of some of my biases – I’m a fairly ardent feminist for example, and I have often stopped and questioned myself if I’m “seeing through a feminist filter” and I do laugh at myself sometimes when I realize. But I had no idea just how prevalent other biases are, and this course is a fascinating voyage of self-discovery. I’m enjoying the course from a learning perspective in general – your other courses that I’ve done have been for the purpose of improving my business, whereas this one, while it will definitely help in that regard too, feels as though it’s more for me personally. I’m also enjoying the learning for learning’s sake as much as for self-development. This course is such a huge eye-opener!
