How Important is Each Weight of Holistic Decision Making Quality (DMQ)?

“We avoid risks in life only to die, and end up facing the greatest risk

which is having lived life risking nothing at all.” ― Chinonye J. Chidolue

Holistic Decision Making Quality (DMQ)… the bedrock and driver of our lives!

Do you know what the sub-DMQ’s are, that make up Holistic-DMQ?

Interestingly… why do certain decisions seem so painful to make at one point in our lives; while those same types of decisions, made at different times in our lives, seem far less painful?

The answer to this powerful question lies in the shift we make, in choosing which sub-DMQ’s to use each time and how we weight each of these sub-DMQ’s, to make our final, Holistic-DMQ decisions!

Let’s revisit the sub-DMQ’s, which, when weighted (total = 100%) and accumulated together, make up our Holistic-DMQ.

DMQ–Base System – Foundational base;
DMQ–Inner Circle – The circle of relationships, from which we primarily draw decision-making input;
DMQ–Vision of Future Self – How we see our future, before making present day decisions;
DMQ–Self-Sabotage – How we make decisions to sabotage the outcome of our decision;
DMQ–Courage – Our courage to actually pursue our unique, authentic decisions;
DMQ–Heart – Decisions generated primarily from the heart vs. mind;
DMQ– Decisions generated primarily from the soul vs. mind; and,
DMQ–Freewill – Ability to disregard all other Sub-DMQ’s to just make a hopeful / gut decision.

Each sub-DMQ that’s used to create our Holistic-DMQ, is uniquely weighted for each decision we make. This in-turn, determines our sub-process for making each decision. Thus, ultimately generating the good, bad or ugly consequences for each of our decision.

Here are a few examples.

+ We disregard most of our sub-DMQ’s and only use our DMQ-Freewill to make a boneheaded decision. Interestingly, because we didn’t use our DMQ-Heart and DMQ-Soul… the pain will be relatively low when things don’t turn out well.

+ We make a gut-wrenching decision where our Heart-DMQ and Soul-DMQ are heavily weighted. When things don’t go well, the pain can be excruciating.

+ We haven’t developed our DMQ-Inner-Circle well, then lean on them for help in making a critical decision. When the decision doesn’t turn out well, and we realize we haven’t selected a strong DMQ-Inner-Circle, this realization can be a red flag, letting us know that we need to improve who is in our Inner-Circle.

Reflect on your decision making processes and examine how you’ve been allocating your 100% (Holistic-DMQ) into each sub-DMQ. Now, reflect back and consider how you felt each time you made one of those important decisions. Thoroughly understand how your previous decisions made you feel. Consider whether the difference on how you felt previously, from how you feel now for similar decisions, was generated… by how you allocated your sub-DMQ’s.

So… how do you improve your decision making skills with this information?

The not-so-simple to execute answer… select the most relevant sub-DMQ’s, then weight them intelligently, that enable your highest probability of success. Strongly consider what you’d like to produce today, that will support the 5-Minute Highlight Video of your life… that you’ll watch with your creator at the end of your life!

At Least You Tried… Words Never Iterated by…

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things,

learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.

You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.

~ Neil Gaiman

How many times have people told you, “at least you tried”?

How does that phrase make you feel, when others say it to you?

How many times have you said this phrase to others?

Do you ever get a sarcastic response back, after you say it to them?

The harsh reality… trying doesn’t change the world nor your life… unless the trying eventually leads to Actual-Do-ing!… which in reality… is quite rare!

In the business world, paradoxically, for most people in leadership positions, the more successful they are, based on the definition of success created by social norms (which is vastly different from the definition of genuine, purpose-driven success)… the less likely it is, they’ll pursue the opportunity to get better! Therefore; the less likely… they’ll actually become a better leader or person!

Why would having more success lead to not getting better…

since on the surface, this doesn’t seem to make sense?

There are a couple of crafty, misleading emotions and decisions playing out here that will engulf “sub-8.5” leaders.

Example: Our teams have a 20+ year track record for adding millions of dollars to organizations’ bottom-lines; from 100+ F500’s and numerous mid-sized companies, universities, hospitals, federal and state organizations, etc. Seems like a no-brainer for any organizations to meet or work with us, since it’s at no net cost ($0.00) to them.

Q: What’s the hardest part to putting $ Millions into an organization’s bottom-line?

A: Interestingly… finding organizational leaders… who will let our teams add money to their bottom-line!

So… how does “trying”, which doesn’t change much, manifest and reveal itself in the real world?

Homelessness, hunger, etc., persists!
Low socioeconomic people… remain poor and rarely get the same opportunities availed to middle and upper-class people!
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion… predominantly, remains a façade that’s packaged with good intentions; rather than a genuine commitment to social change!

On the flipside… how do we actually change the world?

Stop rewarding words and start rewarding actions!
Stop checking boxes and start implementing intelligent choices!
Stop appearing to value diverse thinking and start leading with highly-engaged, diverse thinking!

So… who are you… a Try-er… or Do-er?

Are you a Leader committed to leading a Purpose-Driven Life and actually committed to DEI?

What is the Price to You… for Resisting Influence?

“To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well.”

~ John Marshall

close-up-photo-of-black-ceramic-mug-3806690

The act of resisting intelligent influence, fortifies our current convictions while

sealing in our idea-deficient and rigid thinking positions!

When organizational leaders, with position authority take this approach, which is the most commonly observed style in U.S. organizations, it seals out the tremendous Intellectual Horsepower from the diverse, broad talent-base of employees and outside resources.

Thus; if 90%+ of an organization’s jugular decisions are made primarily by just 10 executives, with minimal (or often “token”) input from 1,000’s of other employees in large organizations for example… just imagine the 100’s of opportunities that are forfeited!

Let’s look at a few stone-walling strategies, closed-minded executives take.

1 – We’ve Already Tried that and it Didn’t Work – This is a quite popular response. Ask the question, “do the same people who are saying this… also have low-Execution-Excellence (Ex-Ex)… and are the ones who attempted to implement it”? Problem isolation identified!

2 – Has this Been Implemented at Another Organization Almost Identical to Us? – Again, quite a popular response. Ask the question, “Are you a leader or follower”? If it’s an intelligent solution and they do nothing… their Ex-Ex is the primary problem.

3 – It’s Not My Idea (in so many words) – This is a stealthy reply that needs to be unmasked. Ask the question, “how much money would be added to your organization’s Net Income, if this idea was implemented effectively”? If the answer is a big, positive number and they don’t do it… the leadership problem has been identified.

4 – Our Plate is Full Now, so We’ll need to Table it for xx Months – Ahhh… the eloquent Procrastination Dance… how cute it is! Ask the question, “if you personally received 50%+ of the new Net Income produced by the idea, would you implement it sooner”? Their answer will tell all!

The privilege to lead a Purpose-Driven life is reserved for those who intelligently encourage others to influence them! The key competency, is the leader’s Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality), in particular, the Holistic-DMQ sub-component, Inner-Circle-DMQ.

Developing the capacity to be influenced by your Inner-Circle is only helpful… if you’ve developed a High-DMQ Inner-Circle. Seems self-explanatory… but it is rarely implemented intelligently… because of the notorious and ever-present DMQ-Circular-Loop Syndrome.

Succinctly, in the DMQ-Circular-Loop Syndrome… for example, an “Objective-5.0” makes a decision about their Inner-Circle.

The Leadership Decision Making Quality (DMQ) Challenge / Opportunity

Subjectively, they think they’ve created a “9.0” Inner-Circle. But objectively, it’s a “5.0” Inner-Circle. Thus; 5.0 decisions keep getting made while not understanding why 9.0 outcomes aren’t being created.

Is there a Silver Bullet that can elevate your ability to intelligently be influenced?

Fortunately… or unfortunately… Yes!

The Silver Bullet… hire people more competent than yourself!

Who actually does this? Only the Top-8.5%+ leaders!

Thus; organizations with the best leaders get better… while organizations with less-than-stellar leaders… entrench mediocrity as they hire people into leadership positions who are less competent than themselves.

Our teams get a front-row seat… to watch this indisputable phenomenon play out daily!

That’s why we work almost exclusively with leading organizations in every industry… and not with the mediocre ones!

How Do You Attempt to Manage Life?

“The One who loves you will never leave you for another because,

even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find a reason to hold on.

There is a big difference between a human being and being human.

Only a few really understand it. You are loved when you are born.

You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage.

The six best doctors in the world are sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence, and friends.

Maintain them in all stages and enjoy a healthy life.”

~ Steve Jobs

Do you lead, manage or follow Life?

How often have you tried heading in one direction… only to have Life push you in another direction?

Control… an illusion… embrace this non-negotiable fact and life gets much, much embracing!

What if you considered Life to be a Chess Player… with a unfair twist? The unfair twist… Life can take any of your pieces off the board… at any time… for any reason… including (and always eventually) your King?

Once you accept, respect and learn to thrive with the “Life isn’t fair” concept… you can embrace the beauty of life, your role in it and determine how you can best influence the world with your limited time and abundant gifts blessed to you.

Professionally: How much of your life have you squandered working to make a living instead of living to Make A Difference? When you embrace choosing to lead a Purpose-Driven Life… your decisions become harmonious with your authentic, holistic Mission in Life!

Wake-Up Call: The Talent Portfolio, professional experiences and educational opportunities you’ve been blessed with… aren’t for your personal benefit… as that would be merely a shallow, self-centered existence!

Your Talent Portfolio has been blessed… to give you…

the privilege to lead a Purpose-Driven Life…

by changing the lives of others… not as blessed as you!

Personally: Do you really control who comes into, exits, etc., your life? Again… “control” is an illusion! Further; Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality) is your primary driver in life, made up of eight sub-drivers. Unfortunately, one of those eight is Freewill-DMQ.

Freewill-DMQ provides you the special option of completely overriding the other seven DMQ sub-drivers, such as your Heart-DMQ, Soul-DMQ, etc., while enabling you, unfortunately, to make Less-Than-Stellar Decisions!

Thus; figuring out how to listen to all your Holistic-DMQ sub-drivers,

weight each one appropriately, based on the decisions that need to be made,

and then Executing Excellently your overall decisions,

provides you with the highest probability (without guarantees) of success.

So… are you leading, managing or following your life?

It’s your life… your jugular decisions…

so figure out which “Future Person” you are willing to forfeit.

Now… select the Future You… you’re vehemently unwilling to forfeit!

DEI+ Leadership… How Much Will WE Really Change?

“Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions…

Pass from matter to spirit.

Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity.”

~ Muhammad Iqbal

“Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image,

and yet there is so much diversity among his people?”

~ Desmond Tutu

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion+ (DEI+) is a popular topic these days.

Why is it so popular? Is it really creating sustainable, positive social change?

The answer to this question… is as unique as the answerer’s perspective on life.

What do you think?

In launching our 100,000+ DEI Scholarships’ Initiative over the past few months, we’ve made a number of observations. They may surprise many, but leaders at the 9.x+ level, will probably only raise an eyebrow.

Why wouldn’t a university want $10, $50 or even $100+ Million for DEI Scholarships… especially, since our teams are doing 98% of the work for the universities… and have a 20+ year track record of phenomenal success?

Q: What types of leaders, are actually committed to supporting DEI+ initiatives?

A: Every demographic, males, females, black people, white people, etc.

Q: What types of leaders, are not actually committed to supporting DEI+ initiatives?

A: Every demographic, males, females, black people, white people, etc.

Thus; overall… we see the 93% / 7% Principle playing out… yet again (vs. specific demographics). Only 7% of the people… actually change the world… in the hopes… that many of the 93% will follow… so together… we will change the world for the better!

In filtering through 50+ conversations with 6 and 7-figure executives… we’ve noticed 2 keys to successful DEI+ Leadership.

The leader must actually want to help other people besides primarily just themselves.
The leader must actually have the ability and commitment to actually do something… beside talk, post, etc.

Pretty low bar? No… turns out… these two attributes, sadly, are quite a high bar, that most people in leadership positions (but, non-leaders in reality) struggle to achieve!

Q: So, why all the talk, posts, etc., from just about every organization on DEI+?

A: Succinctly… for many… Power! Here’s the basic formula. The people in power… want to maintain personal power… and know they need to appear (vs. actually do what needs done) to support DEI+ initiatives… in order to maintain their personal organizational power. Sigh!

Q: So… how do you or WE differentiate between those committed to DEI+ and those committed to merely maintaining personal power and appearing to support DEI+?

A: Succinctly… Execution-Excellence! Who is actually doing everything that actually needs done (vs. just talking, posting, etc.)!

Bottom-Line: It’s up to the Top-7%’ers to actually get intelligent DEI+ infrastructures in place in organizations… on the hopes that most of the other 93%’ers actually follow! So… Together… WE actually and sustainably… change the world!

Are you a University Leader who’s actually committed to DEI+ and would like to raise another $10, $50 or $100+ Million?

Should You Re-think Your Vulnerability Level?

“Your vulnerability can be a gift to others. How badass is that?” – Brittin Oakman

“A woman who opens her heart to love you when it’s already broken is braver

than any person you’ll meet.” – Steven Benson

“We’re never so vulnerable than when we trust someone – but paradoxically, if we cannot

trust, neither can we find love or joy.” – Walter Anderson

“I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.”

– Alanis Morissette

Who wants to be more vulnerable… besides me?

What if being more vulnerable meant… paradoxically… being less vulnerable?

How could that possibly be?

Irrational, nonsensical, etc., or just maybe…absolutely brilliant!

Until you reach the 9.x Level (scale of 0.0 to 10.0) in any core competency or holistically… almost all your decisions are produced using a rational process, using your Decision Making Quality (DMQ). Then, when you enter into the rare 9.x level… everything becomes paradoxical… including the concept of vulnerability!

When you become intelligently vulnerable, the doors of knowledge burst open and a tidal wave of answers are provided to you. With that being said, just understand, you may not like the answers, but at least you will now begin getting, for the first time, the most honest answers.

The fascinating part, because you are now so vulnerable, operate in a mode of honest integrity and don’t refrain from expressing your raw beliefs… you brilliantly:

Reduce or eliminate your Would-Be-Regrets!
Eliminate the need to continually “what if” yourself!
Enable yourself to recover from situations that don’t go well, much, much more easily! (Thus; you paradoxically, become far less vulnerable and capable of recovering immediately!)

Personally: We see romantic, parent-child, etc., relationships routinely deteriorate due to a lack of one or both parties being vulnerable enough to actually make the decisions and take the actions necessary to support their genuine, vulnerable positions.

Professionally: We see business relationships routinely deteriorate due to a lack of all parties being vulnerable enough to actually make decisions and then put themselves into their true, vulnerable positions.

I’ve had some amazing “teachers” in life on this complex topic and now leverage this paradoxical knowledge to understand other people’s true intentions. In failing miserably, during my first real 9.x lesson from an Unorthodoxly-Amazing person, it totally changed my life and understanding of vulnerability.

Life’s short! Go first… embrace being naked with your thoughts…

open your sternum and expose your heart and soul!

Scary? Only if you’re a sub-9.x’er!

In practicing Optimal-Vulnerability, you’ll be able to say, do, etc., anything!

This position of vulnerability, is paradoxically, a position of power… since

you now know what you want, can ask for it and actually get a bluntly-honest

answers, based on other people’s decisions and actions (not their words).

Life’s short… use your Paradoxical, Optimal-Vulnerability intelligently

to get all the honest answers you want.

Warning: If you’re not ready for honest answers…

you’re not a 9.x’er! Keep growing!

Are you a leader who’s vulnerable enough to collaborate with our team, and let us save your company $ Millions?

Do You Still Love Them?

“I’m not saying that love always takes you to heaven.

Your life can become a nightmare.

But that said, it is worth taking the risk.”

~ Paulo Coelho

If you have ever truly loved someone… will you always love them?

There are many opinions about the complexly-elegant concept called, “love”. Are there any right or wrong answers to the question, “do you still love them”?

Relationship related services is a multi-billion-dollar industry. Does it really have to be so difficult; or, do we need to reframe (or get help reframing) our prospective on the concept of love and surround ourselves with others who’ve reframed this topic in healthy ways?

Is every person who’s ever loved you… still a part of you… if so…

did they help shape you into who you are now?

Thus; if they are part of you… and you love you… then do you love them?

Given the complexity of this topic, this blog is designed to be more of a thought-provoker than providing simple, yet insufficient answers to the numerous unique circumstance applicable to you and your relationships.

What happens when people, whom you’ve loved, hurt you… intentionally or unintentionally? Do you still love them afterwards? Again, there are many opinions, with no right or wrong answers.

Divorce… often, is an ugly dance that looks more like a cat fight… by two people who… theoretically loved each other at one time. Do you still love your Ex… after a cat-fight divorce?

Not that my opinion on this topic is accurate, for me, once loved, always loved is my belief. Thus; I’ve shared with anyone whom I’ve ever loved, they can reach out to me anytime and I’ll take their call. Why not… unless they consistently weaponize this openness? Plus, two-way communication mitigates miscommunication, especially in strained relationships.

Key: If you’ve made good relationship decisions in the past, are making good relationship decisions currently, then everyone can experience a healthy environment. If you haven’t made good relationship decisions… the strain can create enormous new relationship challenges. Thus; fully understand (two-way communication) and support the other person’s decisions… whether you agree or disagree with them.

Warning: This approach requires healthy amounts of self-security, not only from yourself, but from anyone whom you could now be in love. When there is untrustworthiness, insecurities, etc., on your current partner’s behalf (which may or may not be well-founded), how do you handle the situation?

The above “Key” speaks to your and your partner’s Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality), and as always, Holistic-DMQ is the key driver for healthy current and past relationships.

Professionally… have you ever loved working at a company or with certain people? If so, do you still love them after you leave or end the relationship? Why not… even if it ended badly? If you don’t love them afterwards… then just maybe, you never really loved them… and it was more of a transactional exchange… financial compensation in exchange for your talent.

What if you lead or want to lead a Purpose-Driven Life and intelligently surround yourself with people, organizations, etc., who love you and you love them… especially the one who chooses to lay their head upon the pillow next to you a night… which is the most important person in your professional and personal life?

Why not do Amazing things with your talents and be surrounded by love? What’s not to love?

Would you love Making A Difference for the world’s next generation of leaders?

Do You Love the Blissful Dance Called “All-In”?

“In most of our decisions, we are not betting against another person. Rather, we are betting against all the future versions of ourselves that we are not choosing.”

~ Annie Duke

You’re “All In”… what eloquently powerful words… often uttered with a spirit of excitement!

How wonderful it is… when everything goes as planned for a long time!

How often has everything gone as planned for a long time?

Oh… the sizzling thrill of the All-In Dance… it makes even the sexy Tango… look like your grandparent’s polka!

Life is far from simple, although we’re constantly and understandably attempting to make it simple. Let’s take a look at this All-In Dance by breaking it down into subcomponents, so we can at least objectively, identify our probability of success.

The first step is the most important step… determining if we should take part in the All In Dance. The rest of the dance will play out as it should, unless Lady Luck intervenes to smile on you… or growl at you, regardless of the probability of success.

The three forks: 1) All In, 2) Test the Waters, 3) Pass, on our proverbial Road of Life, is where we use the following interdependent core competencies to decide the best option for us to pursue.

Vision for Possibility (VfP) – The ability for you to accurately see what could be possible with each choice.
Vision for Forfeiture (VfF) – The ability for you to accurately forecast what is likely to be forfeited with each choice.
Holistic Decision Making Quality (DMQ) – The objective quality level of your decisions.
Execution-Excellence (Ex-Ex) – The objective ability for you to execute your decisions.
Lady Luck (LL) – Regardless of any competencies above, you get Lucky or Unlucky.

Simple, But Not a Valid, Formula for Probability of Success: Figure out your Objective Score for VfP, VfF, DMQ, Ex-Ex and LL; then add them together and divide by 5 (number of scores) to get your average probability of success.

Example: VfP=6.0, VfF=4.0, DMQ=5.0, Ex-Ex=4.0 and LL=9.0 (you feel lucky)

(6.0 + 4.0 + 5.0 + 4.0 + 9.0) / 5 = 5.6 Overall Average Success Level… if all variables are equal, you have a 56% or an Average chance of success in this example.

However, from Math 101, we know in order to get the probability of success overall, we must multiple each individual probability of success by every other individual probability of success, to get the overall probability of success.

Thus; we need to convert each of our Core Competency Scores on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0 into a percentage and then use the math formula, to determine our overall probability of success.

Thus; 60% x 40% x 50% x 40% x 90% = 4.3% (less than 5%) Overall Probability of Success (vs. the inflated 56% calculated above).

Summary: The All In Dance is great when one of 3 things happens.

Lady Luck smiles on you, regardless of your objective competency levels.
Your talent in the core competencies is objectively (key) high.
Your talent in the core competencies is subjectively high, but objectively low, and everyone around you thinks they won anyway, even if it doesn’t objectively turn out well.

Takeaway: Use this materially-accurate formula to make the best, objective decisions at jugular forks

on your Road of Life… professionally, personally and in the community.

Objectively (regardless if we like it or not), 84% of Leaders, Talent, Profits, etc. are

“I’m Sorry”… 2 Lazy Words When Spoken… 2 Powerful Words… When Not Even Whispered!

“Apologies do not make good bandages.”

― Clementine von Radics

“I’m sorry. The two most inadequate words in the English language.”

― Beth Revis

How many times in your life, have you uttered the oft-used words, “I’m Sorry”?

Similar to all decisions, our Holistic-DMQ (Decision Making Quality) plays a significant role in determining if / when we choose to utter these words. The mere process of choosing to utter these words, is anything but… a simple process!

Lets’ start by differentiating mainstream’s use of these words from people with 9.x DMQ’s. Yes… mainstream people use these words routinely, they genuinely mean them and these words are often received in a positive way by most. In this common scenario, life is quite simple and all appears to be Good-Enough.

What mainstreamers don’t realize until they look into the rearview mirror of their lives, how many times they’ve uttered these words, but didn’t actually change; so they continued repeating the cycle for years.

This doesn’t make mainstreamers bad people as they’re genuinely trying to do their best. They truly intend to be sorry and should be appreciated for their well-intentioned words.

black-and-white-black-and-white-handwriting-760728

On the other hand, for 9.x’ers, they have two categories for, “I’m Sorry”.

The first category is to use it with well-intentioned sub-9.0’ers, who use the words routinely, in order to communicate effectively with them. And yes, these 9.x’ers are genuinely sorry based on the mainstream definition of the phrase.

However, 9.x’ers rarely use the words, “I’m sorry” with other 9.x’ers.

Why?

Quite simply, 9.x’ers have the ability to look into their futures, see how

their current-day decisions will play out in their futures, and have the

courage and Intellectual Horsepower to do the right thing today… so they

don’t need to say, “I’m Sorry”… in the future.

Generating silence… resulting from doing the right thing… first… is beautiful!

So; how many times have you uttered the words, “I’m Sorry” to 9.x’ers?

Look in the mirror… who do you see… and…

more importantly… who do you want see?

Are you laser-focused on not saying, “I’m sorry” to the world’s next generation of leaders?

Will you help us deliver Difference Making Opportunities to tomorrow’s leaders… instead of saying, “I’m Sorry”?

How “Good Enough” Helps Us Forfeit One Day at a Time… for a Lifetime

“If someone isn’t compatible with you

don’t make them feel they are not good enough for anyone.”

~ Nitya Prakash

“There are a lot of people with a lot of money, and I’m amazed they don’t understand

what a great pleasure it can be to give.”

~ Robert Mondavi

How big is the closet that holds your numerous noisy suitcases filled

with Could Have Beens.. because, at the time, you felt your life was Good Enough?

Decision Making Quality (DMQ) is on a spectrum for: Growth, Potential, Upside Caps, Vision for Possibility, Execution-Excellence, etc.

Those with higher emotional quotients, can eloquently zip professional and personal hopes, wishes, etc., once they realize they aren’t likely to transpire… into neat little bags, pack those bags into Suitcases of Forfeiture and place them efficiently into their Good Enough Closets.

Most go through this common exercise, all in the name of Life is Good Enough… so they just accept the Good Enough for Now things life brings their way. This practice becomes so routine in their thinking and doing… it becomes an oblivious habit. It can even be exciting… when a new Good Enough arrives and is different than the old Good Enough!

On the other hand, for the rare 9.x’ers, unfortunately, they either immediately or eventually overcome the Charismatic Good Enough voices in their minds. There are two approaches that 9.x’ers take, in this regard.

The first type, and more prevalent of the two types of 9.x’ers, have the Look the Other Way and Hope It Gets Better approach… until it doesn’t get better… and that’s when the command from their minds goes out, similar to Zeus, to “release the titans”.

When that light bulb gets switched on and the 9.x’er’s Good Enough Closet bursts open… all the Suitcases of Forfeiture get released, similar to Pandora’s Box of Evils… while “Hope” is lastly, preserved. It’s not a pretty sight as the previously oblivious victim(s), at this point, is (are) koshered and fileted by someone with the Intellectual Horsepower of a Ferrari!

The second of these two types of 9.x’ers, lacks the Gift to Look the Other Way, from the beginning. This extremely rare group can see the future vividly, before it happens, and just isn’t interested in having any Suitcases for Forfeiture.

This extremely rare group demands the optimal from others, from day 1.

When the Upside Potential and Upside Cap have any limitations whatsoever, this rare group of Top-1%’ers have the strength to not pursue the Good Enough route, despite the numerous wonderful and attractive attributes that would absolutely thrill 99% of people. It really looks and is Good or Very Good… so can you blame them for looking out primarily for themselves?

The rare Top-1%’ers are the most powerful people, in part, because they are Purpose-Driven Leaders with an insatiable appetite to change the world.

These rare leaders understand their Holistic Life Mission and the importance of the unrelenting requirements

to surround themselves with Holistic Collaborators without any limits, in any area of their lives!

Beware: The insidious DMQ-Circular-Loop Syndrome will be hard at work, camouflaging less-than-stellar, sub-9.0 decisions as deceptive 9.x decisions.

Look into the mirror… who are you… and… more importantly… who will you become?

Are you a 9.x’er who leads a Purpose-Driven Life… and would like to help us change the world?

Is Dodging Bullets in Life… a Science, Art of Fate?

“Fate leads the person who follows it, and drags the person who resists.” ~ Plutarch

“Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don’t find out til it’s too late…

that he’s been playing with two queens all along.” ~ Terry Pratchett

What do you think is the answer to this complex, multi-dimensional title question?

Will any of us ever really know the answer?

The beautiful part… each person’s answer will be genuinely believed by them, reinforced by them through their actions and they’ll surround themselves predominantly with people who share the same belief in their answer. These are the people in their DMQ-Inner-Circle.

Thus; the diversity of our responses, coupled with our conviction to those diverse responses… is one of the things that makes life such a harmoniously fascinating journey!

Just maybe… the answer is an eloquent blend of all three with a few other options sprinkled in. If so, the title question can be answered with a mix of all three… while our personal biases encourage us to lean toward our most prominent belief of the three.

Science – This is the easiest of the three to describe… although, it isn’t easy! Our decisions are harvested from our DMQ (Decision Making Quality) Paradigm Root.

Thus; if we have Average-DMQ, we’ll make Average routine decision and our DMQ will deteriorate as additional stresses are pressed upon us… especially when we need to make important Jugular Decisions. Just hope Lady Luck smiles kindly… otherwise, wear a Kevlar vest!

Art – This approach is an eloquent blend of complex content used to make decisions. Interestingly, the bias, discretionary valuing systems, etc., we use, provides a clever way to create an almost bullet-proof subjective decision making process… in the mind of the decision maker.

Fate – This is more complicated than it appears on the surface. Fate isn’t just outcomes. Rather; Fate starts with the gifts and talents you’ve been blessed. These gifts are provided, to help you make high-quality decisions. Our early decisions in any situation, sets the table for what options Fate will then be able to offer us… and which ones Fate will cunningly and obliviously help us forfeit… without us even being aware of the forfeiture (a.k.a. Gift of Oblivion).

Thus; if you don’t use the decision making gifts Fate has provided you wisely, are the ultimate outcomes that take place in your life, regardless if they are good or not-so-good… strictly controlled by Fate?

So… which of these three should you give credit to when you dodge a bullet?

A better question, what if the bullet you dodged, would have been less damaging,

than the bullets you’ll be facing down the road?

Often, our creator is kindest to those who lack the potential to achieve

extraordinary purpose with their lives.

For the rare few, your creator doesn’t make your lives easy,

for there is a far greater purpose for your lives,

that you’re being prepared to tackle.

Thus; paradoxically, those who will achieve the most impact with the gifts they’ve been blessed… will be the only ones

capable of graciously taking the bullets, chewing them up, spitting them out and achieving Unorthodoxly Amazing Impact!

Who are you?

Are you a 9.x’er who leads a Purpose-Driven Life… and would like to help us change the world?

The 2nd Most Elegant and Tranquil Dance in Life

“To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.

This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.”

~ Agnes de Mille

Life… do you routinely burst with joy for its beauty coupled with its

treacherous curves and thicket-filled pitfalls?

What’s not to love? Especially given everyone’s most powerful gift… the more-than-kind Decision Making Quality (DMQ) Circular Loop… that enables everyone to feel wonderful, confident, etc.!

Thus; everyone, even though each of us is truly unique,

can be thrilled to participate in this elegant and tranquil dance called, “Life”!

The DMQ Circular Loop… enables everyone to genuinely believe their decisions are near-perfect. To solidify the strength of our decision making process, we surround ourselves with people who possess materially-equal DMQ’s.

These people in our Inner-Circle DMQ, further reinforce our belief in our DMQ levels… which truly enables life… to be a bed of infinite roses… regardless if we’re a 1.0 or an 8.9! What an elegant and tranquil dance!

We can thank our minds for being beautifully-sophisticated! Regardless, if objectively, we’re a 3.0, 7.0 or at any level below 9.0… our minds enable us to be one of the happiest people in the world!

Unfortunately… for the small percent of people above 9.0… the dance can range from brutally painful to fall on your weakened knees… beautiful!

The Gift of Oblivion, which is stealthily provided to almost everyone,

is stone-heartily deprived from people on the higher end of the DMQ Spectrum.

Further; one of the many things I’ve learned from 9.x’ers, when they’re unable to find other 9.x’ers, many have the ability to temporarily “block / disregard” less-than-stellar attributes of others, in an attempt to elevate and optimize their level of happiness.

Yet, in disregarding, these 9.x’ers’ sub-conscience minds get eaten at, like Poe’s “Tell-Tale Heart” until the relationship inevitably collapses… as it should.

For the 9.x’ers… the floodgates of Unorthodoxly-Amazing stay locked,

often… for a lifetime…

or; until another 9.x’er unicorn opens the floodgates with a key

that only their creators could have made for them.

Please… always acknowledge… we are all equal and neither I, nor you,

are better than any other of the 8+ billion people on earth!

Yet, you are beautifully unique!

May each and every one of you dance until your feet are raw

while inhaling every beautiful moment on Life’s Journey!

Do You Provide the Gift of Failure-Enablement?

“No human ever became interesting by not failing.

The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person...

Ever meet someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle?

They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.”

~ Chris Hardwick

Life is often a treacherous trail filled with unknowns and mirages!

This realization of the unknowns, can cause significant unrest for most people.

Thus; most people proactively make decisions, take actions, etc., in an attempt to mitigate what they believe are potential risks, likely to arise in their short-term future.

Proactively creating your future, appears on the surface, to be an intelligent approach… and often, it is! My favorite approach to watch, is the Blissful Dance called, “All-In” (a future blog topic).

Interestingly; nothing in our lives is one-dimensional. Thus; every decision we make, impacts and changes all future decision opportunities… as it should.

What happens when others are making proactive decisions that impact you?

Will you attempt to intervene to help them create decisions that benefit you… or… will you provide them the space to create the Gift of Failure-Enablement? (Hint: they’ve already made up their mind… well before they’ve introduced their need, to make a decision, to you. If you genuinely love them, be nice, as this will go a long way in helping their self-esteem and accept their Gift of Failure-Enablement graciously.)

Providing the Gift of Failure-Enablement is a spectator sport. You just watch as decisions are made that will impact you. Just be honest with them, but don’t attempt to persuade decision makers, to make decisions that favor you; for this approach is the only way to find out who they really are.

Gift of Failure Enablement is an extremely difficult skill to master; yet it is the only truth-serum available for tough decisions.

Words… cost pennies on the dollar… whereas… jugular decisions are priced in hearts, souls and life-impact. Further; we must keep in mind, using “excess available money” vs. “core needed to live on money” complicates the decision making process and other people’s “cleansed” intentions.

Professionally: In launching our 100,000+ DEI Scholarships’ Initiative, we’ve met with universities that have gone to great lengths to move this forward; as well as, universities who couldn’t care less whether DEI students are able to attend their university or not.

Our team can only share the opportunity with the universities; then, we must provide them the Gift of Failure Enablement.

Personally: Genuinely being yourself and accepting how you are honestly received by others can only be accomplished… by providing others with the Gift of Failure Enablement.

This will tell you everything about any relationship. Welcome their

choice to jettison you out of their lives with open arms!

Appreciate their “cleansed” decisions… as these demonstrate their genuine honesty and supersede any, possibly well-intentioned, but fictitious words previously shared.

When we are genuinely ourselves… we enable others to beautifully

mesh with their genuine values… which is a pulchritudinous dance!

Love and Loss… An Unorthodox Marriage!

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you… I could walk through my garden forever.”

― Alfred Tennyson

To those who’ve loved and lost… my condolences and my congratulations!

Without love… there cannot be loss… the deeper the love… the deeper the crater of loss… cherish and appreciate all love that has blessed your life!

My father passed today (8-27-2022) shortly after I began writing this blog. Although the title had already been written, this poetically added another dimension to the topic.

My mother passed 5 months ago.

The mother of my three children passed a few years ago.

Significant others in my life, who’ve humbled me with their love at one time, and have since moved on separately with their lives… I pray that they’ve moved on, to far more beautiful relationships. May your significant others take your breath away as often as you’ve taken away mine!

Reflection… it isn’t the loss that hurts us so deeply… but it’s our deep and beautiful appreciation for the unconditional love others once blessed us with, in our lives.

Love can be expressed in so many interesting ways, from:

Writing it 100 times with lipstick on the mirror; to,
Heart-stopping harmonious words that echo forever; to,
Sharing it on a country swing while the night creatures played their orchestra on a full moonlit night; to,
An eloquently handwritten letter stained with my tears… etc.

To those loved ones in your life, who’ve shared a part of their heart and soul with you… but are now gone… be overly-appreciative… for you have been genuinely blessed!

To those who’ve shared a part of their heart and soul with me…

despite me being an unworthy recipient of your gift…

I offer but a humblest, “Thank you”…

and will cherish your gifts as my most valued assets in life!

Life’s short, respect everyone’s choices and unconditionally love

those who’ve shared parts of their heart and soul with you!

Humblest of blessings to all! ~ JR

Lifestyle Packages… Often, Our Ultimate Decision Driver!

“Lifestyle Packages… For most… objectively…

when everything is completely unmasked

and all types of false justifications are cleansed away…

Lifestyle Packages are… most people’s ultimate decision driver.”

Yet… You can elevate to be that rare, Unorthodoxly-Amazing One!” ~ JR

Objectively, how have you made decisions to

create your optimal opportunities in life?

The simple, truly objective answer for most people, typically starts with going back to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs; 1) physiological, 2) safety, 3) love, 4) esteem, and 5) self-actualization. If one doesn’t have food, a roof, etc., why focus on the other needs? Pretty basic.

Thus; for most, our DMQ (Decision Making Quality) is naturally geared to focus on our immediate hierarchal needs and the needs of our loved ones. Again, pretty basic.

So; how does this actually play out in our chaotic world these days?

Look around… it’s actually abundantly simple to observe. Most people make decisions that optimize their current Lifestyle Packages.

Given the upheaval created by the pandemic, personal catastrophes people uniquely experience, etc., most people are searching for the first two or three levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy, which makes sense! The last 2 or 3 levels, for most, just need to be Good Enough; and when they’re combined with the first 2 or 3 being comfortably attained, this makes overall life appear to be quite fantastic.

Pause… what if you were to commit, to living a life of self-actualization and you adjusted

all your decisions to support that Purpose-Driven life? What would that look like?

How much courage does it take to choose Purpose over Lifestyle?

photo-of-woman-putting-her-finger-on-her-lips-1759406

In travelling an unusual journey in life personally; I’ve discovered how to accept a minimum threshold on the first two Hierarchy Needs, which has enabled me to focus on the last three, which are inseparably connected; love, esteem and self-actualization.

The succinct summary… this unorthodox approach is extremely difficult to actually

implement and live. Nonetheless; this unorthodox decision-making process has

completely changed my life in ways never imagined.

Interestingly; every time I’ve focused on the first two Hierarchal Needs, life’s been really, really good at first… but not Unorthodoxly-Amazing. I’d try to convince myself it was better than really, really good. But, longer term, without the Gift of Oblivion… my heart and soul would eventually overtake my mind’s deceptive justifications. Seems for those few, without the Gift of Oblivion, one’s soul can never quite be at rest.

There are many lessons learned on this journey; and here are a few.

+ It’s quite lonely and lacks many basic material securities. Most won’t understand you or your decisions and will not travel the journey with you. Who could blame them? Further, when we bypass an experience, we don’t really miss it, since it didn’t actually happen. Blessed are the lucky many, who have received the Gift of Oblivion!

+ Significant Lifestyle decisions are jugular forks, that tell you everything about someone at their deepest levels. Listen. Respect. Pray. Wish them the best.

+ The ability or inability, to make “We-Oriented Decisions” on jugular issues (that could affect one of both of you in very negative ways) demonstrates one’s capacity for conditional vs. unconditional love. Most can make “We Decisions” on superficial issues, or when Lifestyle Packages are too attractive to risk losing, but will revert back to “I Decision Making”, when the decisions are too critical to listen and engage with others.

+ Self-Actualization at the 9.x level is where Unorthodoxly Amazing begins and weaves its abundant beauty, that is so indescribable. Beware: The DMQ-Circular-Loop Syndrome will be hard at work, attempting to support your decisions and convince you that it’s Unorthodoxly Amazing. For sub-9.0’s, since they’ll convince themselves it’s Unorthodoxly Amazing, this will paradoxically turn out beautifully for them.

So how do Lifestyle Packages play out in the real world?

Professionally: How many times have you been “left behind” when a deal fell apart, a recession hit or funding was running low? Great leaders always help their teams escape danger first, to the detriment of their own Lifestyle Packages. Poor leaders maintain their Lifestyle Packages sufficiently while sharing a portion of their excesses in a veiled attempt to make it appear, they are sacrificing too.

Personally: There are numerous examples we’ve all witnessed where people are focused on securing material comforts first; as long as the rest is Good Enough. What’s not to like… this approach makes life a lot, lot easier! For me, I’m a little odd, albeit a lonely road, I prefer the scarred, poor; yet beautifully-appreciative souls who create tears in my heart and soul and will let the rest fall into place.

Life’s short, respect everyone’s choices and unconditionally love those who’ve shared parts of their heart and soul with you!

Synergy… the Masquerading 2-Edged-Sword

“Even if you strive diligently on your chosen path day after day,

if your heart is not in accord with it,

then even if you think you are on a good path,

from the point of view of the straight and true,

this is not a genuine path.

If you do not pursue a genuine path to its consummation,

then a little bit of crookedness in the mind will later turn into a major warp.

Reflect on this.”

― Musashi Miyomoto

Synergy… What a complex and fascinating 5-Dimensional topic!

One minute Synergy is the sword that slays your biggest fears.

The next minute, that same Synergy retaliates to generate the ultimate fear. How can it be both?

How many times have you fallen in love with the Synergy you’ve created professionally or personally, because it was pretty darn wonderful at the time (the 4th Dimension). You can include me, multiple times.

This is a common experience when someone starts a new job, gets a promotion, etc. How often does that Synergy become more powerful over time; and, how often does that Synergy eventually reveal the other side of its sword?

Ever have that sinking feeling that the synergy, from that once exciting opportunity, is beginning to dissipate? Synergy often masquerades as a life jacket when we’re in an ocean of chaos. However; even with our best justifications for those past decisions, over time we begin to realize… been there… done that… sigh!

Synergy is often a misunderstood concept, as most think it results

in a high-level of performance. This couldn’t be further from reality

and high-performance isn’t even an important ingredient with most Synergies.

Synergy is created when two or more mesh, during the same window of time, regardless of their competence levels, in ways that enable them to outperform, what either one could have achieved, on their own, during that unique window of time.

For example; two 7.0’s could combine to perform like a 9.0. The key is for each one to need and want the other during that unique window of time; and, for the gap between their performance levels, to not be significant (e.g. a difference of 3.0 or less, on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0).

There are times in life, where we just need to get oxygen to stay afloat. (I’ve been there multiple times!) A simple example of oxygen, is a job that pays the bills so you can pursue a greater purpose in your life.

Initially, there’s Synergy, and both of you need and want each other enough, so both of you strive to make it as positive as possible, which leads to both actually making it pretty darn good! This works extremely well, as long as there is genuine synergy or if there isn’t, the mind can keep the heart and soul out of the decision making (while getting the heart and soul to believe they are part of the decision making).

If the holistic performance gap between the two parties remains insignificant and the little gift of oblivion is sprinkled in, then harmonious synergy is shared and life is really, really good!

Unfortunately, if the holistic performance gap between the two parties widens, that sword, that was masquerading as your

protector, taps you on the shoulder and reminds you, life’s short, what do you passionately want to pursue? Go for it!

Why is Synergy so difficult to effectively find, to achieve your dreams in life? For most, their inability to communicate their highest aspirations of a Synergistic relationship. Thus; they settle for Good Enough or Great (who can blame them?)… but they know in their hearts and souls… it just isn’t Unorthodoxly Amazing!
