A Better Way to Avoid Mistakes
Case Study
David had a coaching business for Dadpreneurs.
By the time he came to me, he was already training other coaches how to coach in his successful method.
Yet, there were some mistakes that kept on happening which caused him to lose money time and time again.
Sending emails to the wrong client, putting the wrong time on his workshops and even traveling 2 hours to a meeting that was set for the following week.
With one simple switch these mistakes were a thing of the past.
Best part?
Life didn’t feel so hard anymore.
Thinking Skills
While you are doing any task, you (without even realizing it!) are using your 28 thinking skills.
When the thinking skills you need to use are strong, doing the task happens easily.
If the thinking skill you need to use is weak, doing the task will be a challenge.
The struggle that David had, came from a weak thinking skill of precision.
Precision
Precision comes up twice - once when we’re taking in the information and another when we’re communicating the information.
In Dave’s case he struggled more with communication when giving over the information.
Think of the examples I gave earlier - sending emails to the wrong person or putting the wrong time for the workshop, that’s in David’s way of communicating.
Improving Precision
Becoming more precise is actually one of the easier thinking skills to improve.
It most definitely starts with the desire to want to be more precise.
Here are 3 things I had David do to help him become more precise:
- Double check all work. Yes, I know this is annoying in the beginning but it quickly becomes habit and you start doing it without thinking.
- Tell the people around you want to become more precise. If you’re not talking precisely, they should stop you and you repeat what you’ve just said in a more precise manner.
- I had David go through 5 emails he sent in the past week and see if there was any he could rewrite it in a more precise manner. This is a low-pressure way to rethink about what you said and see if it could be more precise.
Your Challenge
A lot of precision is about motivation.
Your challenge this week is to pick one of 3 activities I gave David to do and actually do it. Bonus points if you do all:
- Double check all your work.
- Have someone stop you any time you’re not talking precisely.
- Read 5 emails you sent recently and rewrite them more precisely.
