Ten years ago, Eric and I were interviewed for an online summit, and we shared our personal “Decision-Making Matrix.” It’s a simple process we go through when we need to make a decision that doesn’t have an easy “yes or no.”
My favorite part about this video is that these principles have stood the test of time. Eric and I are getting ready to lead our ARISE membership workshop tomorrow–all about purposefully preserving our time and energy–and these are the exact principles we use today.
They’ve helped us maintain a strong marriage, raise our four children, build our business, volunteer with our church and community, become financially independent, maintain (and, in some cases, heal) our mental and physical health, and live a life where, even though we’re not perfect, we don’t have big regrets.
As I watched the younger version of me, I kept thinking, “She didn’t know exactly what was coming, but she was doing her best to prepare for it.”
Here’s the video for you to watch, and then, if you’d like to join us in ARISE for August (and onward!), we’d love to have you! Our live workshop this month is happening at 10am Pacific Tuesday, August 11th, but you can also watch the replay, as long as you join by the end of the month! (After that, it goes into the “vault” that is unlocked for new members after 6 months.) We hope you’ll love these ideas and feel strengthened by them!

Good Morning Both of you! Is this a free class to members or do we still pay after the trial period? I desperatly need to start somewhere. My house/Childcare needs a big shaking out. I want to get down to the bare bones here as my Husband and I are now talking retirement in the next few years. I own a big multi aged childcare in my home and that has overtaken my home. Where/how do I start? You have both been so faithful and supportive to me . Thank You!
Hi Betsy! When approaching a big decluttering/streamlining project (and sub-projects), I love starting with a mind sweep. Last year, I wanted to declutter our entire apartment and do some deep cleaning in the process. I recorded a whole podcast about my experience and linked it below: https://learndobecome.com/episode6/
This class (mentioned in the post) is part of our ARISE membership, and those who sign up for the membership this month will receive access to the full recording. 🙂 There is a 2-month free trial available, so you’ll have the chance to check out a couple topics and access the full ARISE Library that is packed with amazing resources. All the ARISE details can be found at http://www.LearnDoBecome.com/arise
I had forgotten about this decision-making matrix. It is SO very helpful!
I’m so happy to hear that! It’s nothing “fancy,” but sometimes a little structure can go a long way when we’re weighing the pros and cons of a new venture. 🙂 So grateful to have you here with us at LearnDoBecome!!
