Make a Decision!

Make a Decision!

Most big decisions revolve around three things:

Work, money, and people.

  • Do I start a new business?
  • Do we invest in this new technology?
  • Should I switch careers?
  • Knowing what I know should I keep this person as a friend?

My guess is you’ve had to make decisions centered around one or two of these. With some decisions there’s no turning back. Each of these types of decisions can change the trajectory of your life.

Jim Rohn, one of the fathers of the personal development industry said,

You cannot make progress without making decisions.

If you want to progress, you need to make decisions.

The thing about thinking through big decisions is they can tear you apart, give you sleepless nights, make you feel like a deer in the headlights.

Until they’re made.

Once they’re made, you may still feel nervous, but you have taken the first step to releasing yourself to make progress. The weight is starting to come off.

While it’s not easy, here’s three things you can do to put yourself in the right frame of mind, and move forward:

  1. On paper, define your values, your goals, and your WHY. Make sure the decision you’re about make is in alignment with your core being.

2. Chart your path forward. Write everything that can go right, wrong, and all your contingency plans.

3. Don’t look back or second guess yourself. You’ll be wasting precious energy that you’ll need to fulfill your plan.

So, Here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it:

Got a big decision or two weighing you down?

You now have a framework to guide you through it. Try it out.

Nothing in life is guaranteed. We make the best decision with the information we have at that time.

And that’s all you can ask of yourself.

May the odds (of your decision) be forever in your favor.

A trick I learned to be a better decision maker is when I go out for dinner is to take a look at the menu and pick something. It should take no longer than 5 minutes. Keep this up and making sturdy decisions will become a habit!
