Escalation

Escalation asks four quick yes or no questions about money and a deadline. Answer each one with your gut. The debrief shows you how you size a goal.

What it asks you

  1. Answer four rounds, fast. Could you get 500 into your account by the end of this week? Then 5,000 by the end of next week, then 50,000 by the end of next week. Round four offers a million for getting the same 50,000 by the same date.
  2. Read what happened. The debrief lists your four answers side by side. If your answer changed between rounds three and four, write down what you started to consider.
  3. Take it to your next goal. Ask whether the reward is big enough when you set your next 12 week goal.

The longer read on this one is Four questions about how big you set your goals.
