Episode #83 Your Decision-Making Identity

Do you umm and ahh over decisions?

Do you spin in confusion about what to do?

Does it take you weeks and months to decide?

Do you only make decisions when things are critical or urgent?

Have you ever gone to make a decision only to realise it’s too late?

When you finally make decisions do you regret not having made them earlier?

If any of these are you then youre in the right place.

If you want to progress your career you have to get better at making decisions proactively and implementing them quickly. Every day that goes by when you’re undecided and unsure, is another day you’re not taking ownership of your career and not making progress towards your goal.

In this episode (a replay of my recent LinkedIn LIVE) I’ll be using the example of deciding whether to join the May cohort of BE THE FIRST to illustrate:

– 3 reasons you’re struggling to make a decision

– why the wrong decision is better than no decision

– the magic that happens as soon as a decision is made
