Why is decision-making so difficult for most of us? At my networking meetings these days, there are more and more professionals in transition. To explain what they are looking for, many of these individuals often say something else that sounds almost as specific as, 'money for time.' If they are an accountant, they do financial & business analysis, month-end close, controller work, internal controls, and taxes - and oh, financial planning, too - and they also sell a fantastic nutritional supplement on the side and can help you earn passive income via an e-commerce venture. If they are in IT, it's 'soup-to-nuts' solutions for a services or manufacturing companies from $500K - $10B. A 'health' professional can do clinical hands-on, case management, or sub-acute in-home care, with sales, in this country or closeby... and myself?, well, I can do all of the above, of course. Because we seem to be a nation of super-heroes in transition.
...Or is it, just possibly, a fear of making decisions that keeps our super-heroism in disguise? After all, if we would be more specific, we would stand out more, or shine, you might say. We would certainly be free to focus on the information most related to that one area, rather than 100 of them. I would propose that a decision is a STEP, not a destination, and the more decisions we make, the further we can get. Here are five reasons it could help us all to make decisions with more efficiency, and less debate. And would you believe it? Each benefit goes along with a letter in the word, Step.
