Why procrastination is good
Tech Leaders
Helping technical experts scale their impact and income as business leaders
Here’s what’s in today’s edition of The Technical Leader:
We all make many decisions everyday…
Some big — some small.
In fact, the average adult makes 35,000 decisions per day.
We decide things like: which coding language to use, what to say to that person, etc.
These are just the small decisions we make day-to-day.
But think about the bigger decisions we make…
Some of these decisions can make a HUGE impact on us and others around us.
So why do some people enjoy making these big decisions?
Why do others try to avoid these big decisions?
And what makes a decision big in the first place?
Everyone’s perspective of a big decision is different.
The most important step when making a decision is to consider the “what if?” scenarios.
This is when you think about all of the possible outcomes that could result in the decision you make.
This is where you doubt and even procrastinate.

Procrastinating on making a decision probably sounds counterintuitive, but it’s actually useful (in moderation).
But by taking time to think about your decision… you can remove the emotions that are intertwined.
By removing the emotions, it makes big decisions way less scary.

The Tech Leader Program
This program is designed to help highly skilled technical people lean into their non-tech skills like leadership, business sense (like how to grow your own business), and technical prowess (like which tools, libraries, and programming patterns are best).
It’s a paid program for $2,950 for 6 months (with payment plans if needed).
You get access to:
? Training videos and non-technical frameworks for solving “people problems”
? Live mastermind sessions with leadership coaches and other like-minded people
? A Slack community for additional help and networking.
? When you join, you get a 1 on 1 session with Stephen Bates to develop a plan for you to reach whatever your next goal is.
This is a community where you can learn, get a sounding board from each other, and benefit from expanding our networks to create more opportunities.
