Acknowledge your self-doubt. Pause and reflect. Gather facts to back decisions. Consult trusted mentors or peers. Break down decisions into smaller steps. Focus on your past successes. Trust your instincts. Take a deep breath. Move forward with confidence. Learn from outcomes, whether good or bad.

When self-doubt surfaces in your business decisions, the key is to trust the process and not let the pressure overwhelm you. Lean on your skills and knowledge and break down the decision into smaller, manageable parts so that it makes the decision feel less daunting. Also lean on data and facts to guide your choices, rather than getting stuck in your feelings. If you feel the need to do so, reach out to mentors or trusted colleagues for a second opinion. In many cases they can offer clarity when you're in your head too much. Most importantly, remember that no decision is perfect, and it's better to take action than to stay stuck. Confidence comes from trusting your instincts and learning from each step, whether it’s a win or a lesson.

Entrepreneurship is not like traditional management. There's no standard playbook. It's about charting your own path - to create your own story of multiple firsts. As Elon Musk days - Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and staring into an abyss. So, one has to figure out what works or doesn't work for him/her and take risks accordingly. It really doesn't matter what others think or say. Listen and evaluate by all means, but don't forget that it is you on the ground.
