The 1 Equation

The 1 Mental Model

Skin in the Game

The definition of ownership. You share the risk of your decisions.

You prove credibility by having something to lose.
If you benefit, you also carry the downside.
No free rides. No outsourcing harm.

It filters out bullshit, fortune cookie nonsense, and mindless decisions. People act differently when their own skin is at stake.

Save them on your phone and focus on them for a few seconds to prime deep work.

A simple mental warm-up.

The 1 Idea

Think about wolves (FIGHT), rabbits (FLIGHT) and deer (FREEZE).

Usually people flee from the ones who are willing to fight. Or even worse, they just freeze, praying for the mercy of those willing (or just pretending) to fight.

BUT, in an uncomfortable situation everyone can become a wolf, if not given another choice.

(Life has a lot of escape routes, and that’s not always a good thing).

“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.” —The Art of War, Sun Tzu
