P48X is a book about Philipians 4:8 which says, “Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].”
Think of an upcoming event, appointment, or situation where you’ll want to persuade someone to your way of thinking…
Outcome Based Thinking
What precisely do I want out of the process?
What does the other person want? If I don’t know, what is he likely to want?
What is the least I will accept out of the process?
What problems could come up in the process?
How will I deal with each one and, if possible, use the problem as a benefit for the other person?
How will I bring the process to a conclusion?
Whatever you’re after… this process works!
