I recently had a Scale Syndicate coaching call and one of my members (we’ll call him James) stuck around after the call for Q&A.
James has struggled to break past the 6-figure mark in his business for the past two years.
So I started asking him a series of questions I always ask when someone’s stuck.
And within about the first 2 questions I realized what the real problem was.
He was overanalyzing every decision he made.
He wasn’t being decisive with his time, his actions, or his next moves and it was causing his business to plateau.
Well I don’t want to get into the specifics of what was going on in his business…
…but I was able to help James get out of his head and build a plan for how he’s going to take his business from 6 figures to 7 figures.
I share this with you because it got me thinking about the importance of being decisive.
Look, as entrepreneurs we are faced with countless decisions every day.
Some of these decisions can be business-altering decisions that have the potential to bankrupt your business.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed and feel like you’re not in control.
I’ve been there in my early days of building Fit Body Boot Camp.
But the truth is, you are in control.
You just need to learn how to be decisive.
Being decisive means being confident in our decisions and taking action – even if we’re not 100% sure of the outcome.
It means being mindful of our time and how we spend it, focused on the task at hand and blocking out distractions.
And it means being proactive instead of reactive.
Simply put, don’t let your small fires turn into raging infernos.
As you head into this week focus on being decisive with your decisions.
Lean into your fear.
Don’t be afraid to take risks and make mistakes because that’s an opportunity for growth and learning.
Focus on what you can control.
We can’t control everything, but we can control our actions and decisions. So focus on what you can manage and make the most of it.
And remember – imperfect action trumps a perfect plan.
Stop procrastinating, researching, forever planning…
…and just start doing the damn thing!
You got this.
