Day 1110: Debate. Group. Think. Theory.

Yesterday I gave you a few random thoughts highlighted by how people are addicted to feeling offended cause feeling self-righteous and morally superior is a buzz (dopamine hit, cough cough) as well as why Dave had to apologize after the gender reveal party.

Speaking of taking his pants off cause he thought we were all participating in the gender reveal…

My Drunk Aunt was at the scene of an accident and here’s how her call to 911 went:

Operator: What’s your emergency?

My Drunk Aunt: A lady got hit by a car… I need an ambulance.

Operator: What’s your location?

My Drunk Aunt: I’m on Eucalyptus St

Operator: Can you spell that for me?

My Drunk Aunt: *long awkward pause*

Operator: Mam, are you there?

My Drunk Aunt: I’m gonna drag her over to Pine St and call you right back.

In other news…

Average business owners want you to leave them alone.

Good business owners want you to coach them.

Great business owners want you to tell them the truth.

Anyhoo…

Your one PROFIT ACCELERATION THING today is:

‘Groupthink Theory’

I watched the debate and then made the mistake of opening up Facebook… Groupthink started rattling my brain.

A major issue I see with your coaching clients is allowing “the group they identify with” to think on their behalf.

Politics…

Religion…

Age…

Education…

Culture…

Industry…

Job Title…

Gender…

Bezos, Winfrey, Kroc, Sanders, Dench, Freeman, Jordan, Brady, Federer and other uber successful people… don’t do this.

This mental model is the reason you see a controversial FB post garner hundreds of comments.

In groupthink…

‘Enragement equals engagement.’

If you went to your personal FB profile and posted:

“You’ll never get criticized by people more successful than you…”

You’d get plenty of people agreeing.

But that statement is categorically untrue cause plenty of successful people are total jackasses.

Same with these silly phrases you’ve heard a million times and if you didn’t stop and THINK… you’d likely have agreed on autopilot:

“Money is the root of all evil.”

“Rich people have big libraries and poor people have big TV’s.”

“How you do anything is the way you do everything.”

“Go with your gut.” (GUT stands for Gave Up Thinking)

“Follow Your Passion and You’ll Be Successful”… Can I eat chocolate and potato chips and lose weight too?

If I went to my personal FB profile and posted how the virus was a lie…

I’d get a couple hundred comments.

48 hours later I could create a convincing post about how it was very real, killed over 500,000 Americans and is almost twice as bad as the Second World War which killed 291,557 Americans…

And get another couple hundred comments.

If you looked hard enough you’d see many would agree with both posts?!?

That’s not so bad cause maybe they changed their mind over 48 hours.

Truth is the virus was somewhere in the middle of something very dangerous and an insane over reaction.

Locking people indoors was a horrific strategy that didn’t work and did plenty of harm.

If we did masks, social distancing, protected seniors and no large gatherings… we could have gotten 80% of the value via 20% of the precautions.

Far less mental health issues, addictions and suicides / drug overdoses.

I’d need to go deeper to give you my full opinions on all of this… bottom line is that I formed my own opinion via my own homework and research.

I didn’t follow what the loud and obnoxious folks on my FB feed said.

PROBLEM…

Very few STOP AND THINK to form their own opinion.

Groupthink is way easier.

You heard it here first.

Now, pick up the phone and go help someone.

PS. KB, if you know we’re in a non-laughing situation… why would you even look at me? ~Dangerous Dave (after gender reveal party)

PPS. If this helps and you want it to really sink in… GO TEACH IT to someone cause that’s the best way for you to learn it. A friend, your spouse, a prospect, a client etc…

*Don’t plagiarize my work like a lame arse.
