Indecision is still a decision. It’s a decision to stay exactly where you are.
I recently joined Ashlee Hayes | Executive Leadership, on her podcast, “This Wasn’t My Plan,” and we talked about the fear that often comes with making decisions when you don’t have perfect certainty.
The reality is that, as a business owner and leader, you rarely have every piece of information before you need to move.
One of the principles I come back to often is “Make a decision, and then make it right.”
That doesn’t mean every decision will work out exactly as you hoped. It means you make the best decision you can with the information you have, take action, pay attention to what happens, and use what you learn to decide what comes next.
Sometimes the decision works beautifully, or sometimes it shows you what needs to change.
You are allowed to change your mind, and you are allowed to course-correct. What matters is that you give yourself something real to respond to instead of sitting in indecision waiting for certainty that may never come.
When you lead a business, your decisions create movement. Your team needs clarity about where you’re going, your strategy needs action before you can evaluate whether it works, and you need real-world feedback before you can make the next decision with more confidence.
You don’t become a better decision-maker by waiting until you feel certain. You become a better decision-maker by deciding, observing, learning, and adjusting.
Ashlee and I talked about business, money, sales, leadership, strategy, prioritization, confidence, and some of the decisions that completely changed the trajectory of my career.
