What do you do when a client knows exactly what they need to do, but still avoids doing it?
Most coaches immediately assume the client has a bad mindset, a lack of willpower, or is simply being lazy
However, guessing why your client is stuck is a massive waste of time
๐ If you want to diagnose the true root cause of a performance gap, you need to use the REWIRE Decision Tree
To use this tool, you ask the ultimate diagnostic question: The "Life or Death" Test
Ask yourself a simple question. "๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ค๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต'๐ด ๐ญ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ข๐ด๐ฌ ๐ณ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ, ๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ต?"

This is how you ๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐
You stop looking for character flaws and start looking for functional environmental barriers
Instead of shouting at a plant to grow, what do you do?
You:
- Check the soil,ย
- Check the water, andย
- Check the temperature
This diagnostic is the first of many tools inside ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฃ๐
