[Req]: Nicolas Cole and Dickie Bush Decision Journaling Course
Ready to make 2026 your best year yet?
You're 1 Decision Away From Completely Changing The Trajectory Of Your Life But you need a proven system to stop second-guessing yourself, unlock elite clarity, and finally make the high-leverage decisions you've been putting off. 99% of people haven’t realized it yet—but we’re in the middle of a BIG recession. Everywhere you look, people are stuck: “Thinking about” starting a business for 2 years Researching a career move for months without taking action Asking 47 people (and ChatGPT) for an opinion they already know the answer to Your Image People aren’t confused because their decisions are complicated. They’re confused because their brains are overloaded. Consider this: The average person consumes 34GB of information per day We spend 2.5+ hours scrolling (38 full days per year) Our attention span has dropped to 8 seconds Your brain is constantly being hijacked by algorithms, feeds, notifications, and endless “input.” Always reacting—never reflecting. Which is why even simple decisions feel heavy, foggy, or impossible. The good news? You *can* escape the Clarity Recession. But only if you stop outsourcing your thinking—and build a system that creates clarity from the inside out. How We Escaped The Clarity Recession After trying every “productive habit” and decision-making framework out there, we discovered the ONE thing that actually works: Decision Journaling. Now, just to be clear: This isn't "regular" journaling. We're NOT talking about gratitude lists, morning pages, or "dear diary" venting. We're talking about using journaling as a PROVEN SYSTEM for decision-making—specific prompts designed to clarify your thoughts, work through a decision, and figure out what YOU actually think and want to do. And no, this isn't some new-age wellness trend we just came up with: Journaling has been used for thousands of years by history's sharpest minds: Marcus Aurelius journaled his way through running the Roman Empire. Leonardo da Vinci filled 13,000+ pages and revolutionized art and science. Marie Curie documented experiments and decisions that won her two Nobel Prizes. Your Image These people didn't have ChatGPT, Reddit threads, or YouTube channels. Instead, they had a simple journaling practice that gave them the clarity they needed to make the right decisions. And this is the same daily habit that’s helped us make thousands of life-changing decisions: Leaving a $190k/year Wall Street job Moving cities (Chicago → LA → Miami → Arizona) Scaling our businesses to $20M—and shutting down a $3M agency Navigating tough relationship, health, and personal growth decisions Decision Journaling is how we've personally beat the Clarity Recession over the last 8+ years. And now we want to share all our frameworks with you. Why Decision Journaling *Actually* Works Now, before we go any further, you need to understand why Decision Journaling works: Reason #1: Writing breaks the mental loops keeping you stuck When decisions stay in your head, they spin. As a result, you replay the same thoughts over and over again: “What if this is the wrong choice?” “Maybe I need more information…” “Let me ask one more person.” It’s counterintuitive—but thinking doesn’t create clarity. It creates loops. But the moment you put your thoughts onto a page, the loop breaks. This instantly reduces overwhelm and gives you your first glimpse of clarity. Reason #2: Writing separates emotion from fact Inside your head, fear and reality blend together. You feel: Anxious Uncertain Overwhelmed Pressured Confused But none of it is specific—until you start writing things down. When you do, you’re able to pinpoint what’s behind each of these emotions. You go from “I’m scared” to: “I’m scared of disappointing my manager.” “I’m scared of wasting 6 months.” “I’m scared this move won’t match my expectations.” Now the fear has a name. And when a fear has a name, you can finally work with it. Reason #3: Writing activates the decision-making part of your brain When you “think,” your brain is in reactive mode: Fear Instinct Avoidance What-ifs Protective loops But writing triggers the prefrontal cortex—the part of your brain responsible for: Logic Planning Reasoning Long-term thinking This shift is why journaling feels like “suddenly the answer becomes obvious.” You’re not becoming a different person. You’re just thinking from the part of your brain designed for good decisions. This alone makes Decision Journaling one of the most reliable clarity tools ever created. A real example (to show this in action) In early 2021, Dickie was stuck between two paths: Stay in his “dream job” at BlackRock making $190k/year… Or go all-in on Ship 30 — a new business that had just hit $50k in a single month. Most people assume that’s an easy decision. It wasn’t. He spent months stuck in loops (data-gathering, pros/cons lists, worst-case scenarios, “maybe next year”…). He even made a deal with himself to work both jobs for a full year so he could “collect enough data” before deciding. But when December rolled around. Ship 30 had generated $500,400 that year—yet, he still couldn’t decide whether he should go all-in on it. He journaled every logical angle… and got nowhere. Then he used one Decision Journaling question: “What would the person I want to become do?” He wrote about “Future Dickie”—the version of himself who: Bets on himself Builds wealth from ideas Has total freedom over time Lives energized, confident, and proud And suddenly the confusion and the mental fog was gone. Future Dickie would never forgive Current Dickie for playing it safe. That one journaling session—not another spreadsheet, not another friend’s opinion, not another month of thinking—created the clarity he’d been avoiding. So he quit. And over the next few years, the businesses he built from that decision generated $20,000,000+. All from a single question that cut through months of indecision. Quiz: Are you ready to escape the Clarity Recession? 1/ Do you find yourself researching the same decision for weeks (or months) without ever actually making it? Perfect! Decision Journaling will give you a proven system to cut through the noise, trust your own judgment, and finally pull the trigger. 2/ Have you tried journaling before but it always felt like aimless rambling that never led anywhere? We're not talking about morning pages or gratitude lists. Good! This is NOT that. Decision Journaling is a structured, strategic system designed specifically for decision-making—and it actually works. 3/ Do you constantly ask friends, family, or ChatGPT for advice… only to feel MORE confused afterward? That's because you're outsourcing your thinking. Decision Journaling helps you rebuild your self-trust muscle so you can make decisions with confidence (and stop asking everyone else what to do). If any of these sound familiar… then Decision Journaling was made for you! Your Journaling Instructors Created by the founders of Ship 30 for 30, Premium Ghostwriting Academy, Typeshare, Write With AI, and more! Your Image Dickie Bush. Former Wall Street trader at BlackRock turned Digital Writer and Digital Entrepreneur. Creator of Ship 30 for 30—the fastest-growing cohort-based writing program on the Internet. He used one journaling framework to quit his $190k job and build a $20M digital writing business. Your Image Nicolas Cole: Author of the best-selling book, The Art and Business of Online Writing. Founder of the first ghostwriting agency for Silicon Valley founders and executives, and Premium Ghostwriting Academy—the leading ghostwriting training program on the Internet. He used journaling to scale his $3M ghostwriting agency—and then make the difficult decision to shut it down (saving his mental and physical health).

Why Most People Stay Stuck (Even When They Already Know What To Do) Anyone trying to escape the Clarity Recession runs into the same problems: 1/ Paralysis by Analysis: Consuming endless information… hoping one more fact will finally make the decision clear. 2/ Outsourcing Your Thinking: Asking ChatGPT, Reddit, friends, and family what to do—instead of trusting yourself. 3/ Second-Guessing Everything: Making a decision… then immediately questioning whether it was the right one. 4/ Fear of Commitment: Staying “confused” because it feels safer than committing to a choice. 5/ Pattern Blindness:Repeating the same mistakes, excuses, and habits year after year without realizing it. 6/ Emotional Fog: Letting anxiety, fear, and overwhelm distort your thinking (instead of separating feelings from facts). 7/ Self-Trust Erosion:Every time you outsource a decision, your self-trust battery drains a little more. And here’s the painful truth: Most people try to fix these problems in ways that actually make things worse: Mistake #1: Thinking you just need “one more fact.” “More research” usually doesn’t create clarity. It creates confusion. The reason you can’t decide isn’t because you’re missing information—it’s because you’re missing stillness. Mistake #2: Trying to escape the noise by quitting everything. Deleting social media doesn’t fix indecision. Because the external noise isn’t the real problem. The real problem is the noise happening inside your head. Mistake #3: Believing journaling is “woo-woo” or won’t work for you. Your brain will say anything to avoid confronting the truth on paper. But the second you write your thoughts down, patterns appear you can’t unsee. That’s why Decision Journaling works. It eliminates these problems at the root—and gives you a system that allows you to unlock the clarity you need, whenever you need it.
