Morty lefkoe is a management consultant and a freelance business writer. He developed marketing and communication programs for consulting business. he wrote about busines and government in fortune,wallstreet journal,barons' and nations business
He frequently found that organizations wouldnt implement his management consulting advice and also found that individuals rarely implemented advice in their personal life.

He then created a system to eliminate limiting beliefs. he aptly named this system the decion maker process
what is the decision maker process
the decision maker process is not self-help, psychotherapy or a motivational program. its a ssyyem designed to sift your thinking. this will enable you to re-create your life by eliminating the beliefs that lead to self defeating and self-destructive behaviour
traditional psycotherapy doesnt work because most people beleive information plus motivation = change which doesnt work because once you form a beleif your work towrds affirming that beleif. More imprtnatly beleifs shape your emotions,actions and attitude
what is the decision maker process
step 1: identify the undesirable pattern
step 2:name the underlying beliefs
step 3:identify the source of each belief
step 4:describe alternative interpretations
step 5:realize you didn't see it in the world
step6: eliminate the old belief
step 7:create yourself as the creator
lets go into detail on each step with an example- procrastinating studying
step1: identify the undesirable pattern
i am procrastinating studying
step 2:name the underlying beliefs
beliefs 1: that i ma going to be confused by the study materials
beleif 2: that studying is difficult
beleif 3: studying is a boring task
step 3:identify the source of each belief
beleif - studying is a boring task
what circumstances lead to this beleif?
i remember a subject i had to study in university, the materail was boring and diffcult to get through
step 4:describe alternative interpretations
- is it that the mateial was boing or is it that i didnt understand it?
-was the subject realy boring or was it that i didnt take enough time to study it?
-was it boring or is it that i didnt consult the lecturer for help?
step 5:realize you didn't see it in the world
-can you see that it was a function of how you intrpeted it, rather than it being a true reality
- is it that the material is boring or is it the interpetation in your mind?
step6: eliminate the old belief
-do you agree that its something you made up
1 is the beleif still there ?
2 do you see the beleif isnt te real you
step 7:create yourself as the creator
-do you ee that you are not you beleif
-you are not the interpetation of the beleif but you are the interpreter
do you see that you re the creator of your life and that everything stems from your interpretions
conclusion: the decision maker process will help you to eliminate limiting beliefs, but you have to do it often to find the hidden beleifs that cause your pocrastination.
