There’s no shortage of “hacks” that help you make decisions. You can use AI, Google, TikTok, or any info source out there — but the problem is you gain little true knowledge. You’re just borrowing someone else’s opinion… or worse, the internet’s collective guess. 😬 If you want to grow, you have to empower your own learning. Be curious. Stay open. But also be structured enough to decide when it matters most. Because sometimes, you don’t get a second chance to be wrong. So how do you gather what you need and make decisions you can stand on? 👉 You use Decision Models — simple frameworks that help you think clearly, filter noise, and act with confidence. ⚖️ 1. The Obama Flowchart Used for split-second, high-stakes decisions. Ask yourself: - Does this pose an immediate threat or risk? - Am I the only one who can fix it? - Will this action harm anyone else? If the answer chain leads to yes, yes, and no — take action. If not, pause. Re-evaluate. This model trains you to stay logical under pressure and move with purpose, not panic. 🧠 2. The Eisenhower Matrix A must for entrepreneurs drowning in “busy.” Sort your tasks into 4 quadrants: 1️⃣ Urgent + Important → Do it now. 2️⃣ Important, Not Urgent → Plan it. 3️⃣ Urgent, Not Important → Delegate it. 4️⃣ Not Urgent, Not Important → Drop it. It’s not just time management — it’s energy strategy. You learn to separate what demands attention from what deserves attention. 🎯 3. The John Whitmore Model (SMARTER Goals) Before you act, ask if your goal is even the right one. A strong goal should be: ✅ Specific ✅ Measurable ✅ Attainable ✅ Realistic ✅ Time-phased ✅ Ethical ✅ Relevant ✅ Challenging If your decision aligns with these, it’s probably worth pursuing. This model keeps your decisions tied to long-term purpose, not just short-term emotion. 💡 Combine Them & You’ll: - Decide faster (Obama Model) - Prioritize smarter (Eisenhower Matrix) - Act with purpose (Whitmore Model) Decision models don’t slow you down — they sharpen your instincts.

The way a business is built 🧱 (its structure) needs to match the way it tries to win in the market (its strategy). If those two don’t fit, the business struggles. Think of it like shoes: basketball shoes work great on the court, but they’d be terrible for swimming. Same with business—your design has to fit your game plan. Four Types of Businesses (Miles & Snow) 1. Defenders → Stick to what they’re good at. 2. Prospectors → Always trying new things. 3. Analyzers → A mix of both. 4. Reactors → No clear plan, just reacting to problems. How Businesses Compete (Porter’s View) - Low-Cost Leadership: Be the cheapest. - Differentiation: Be unique. - Focus/Niche: Serve one group really well. Why This Matters for You If you’re building a business: - Match your design to your goal. - Don’t just copy someone else. Their structure fits their plan. - Always check: does my setup (people, tools, processes) actually fit my game plan? Quick Recipe for Strategy + Structure Fit 🍴 1. Pick your goal: cheapest, most unique, or focused niche. 2. Check your setup: does your team structure help or block that goal? 3. Adjust: cut waste for low-cost, add freedom for creativity, or sharpen focus for niche. 4. Review often: the market changes—your structure should too. 👉 Takeaway for Entrepreneurs: Winning in business isn’t just about having a cool idea. It’s about making sure the way you run your business matches the way you want to win. Strategy without tactics = failure waiting to happen.

Last night at The Rocki Button someone saw me working on the website and asked, “Is this us?” I paused… In my mind, I thought, “Do you identify this space as ‘ours’?!” 😯 After a moment i responded, “Yes it is. This is US.” To hear a patron take ownership of our space & love it with the same enthusiasm as a partner, owner, or staff member is a key indicator of a successful mission. It is a key reminder that your business should step into the gaps where needs exist & fill them. For us, our clients are looking for entertainment & safe, welcoming environments. in a community that lacks these things, we stand out as a outlier experience in which people can make it their home. My philosophy: I’m in no hurry to get anywhere faster than I need to because, I need this space to ALWAYS be US in the building. That has always been the marketing strategy & target demographic. Kindness & community are a winning strategy in a world that is oversold, undervalued, & just tired of the rat race. 💯
