Decision making

When you've never done the thing

Don’t sweat the small stuff

We make countless decisions on a day-to-day basis that are usually hardwired into our own rhythm. When we come up against new territory, we have no practice in making new decisions.

This is why it’s to helpful to work with people you know, like, and trust, but who are also qualified to give you information because they make these choices all the time.


Someone good at their job is able to look ahead and see how things might play out. Whereas if you are just making these choices for the first time, you have no perspective.


No one will get it right 100% of the time, but instead of going at things alone, consider bringing on a trainer, realtor, mentor, or someone outside your current sphere to help make whatever you’re doing more achievable at first.

Once you establish the pattern you might choose to go alone, or keep the influence because your mind is freed with their expert assistance.

Once you become an expert, never forget the basics.

It’s from the same ingredients / principles / behaviors that got you moving in the first place that will take you to every next level to come.

How can I help you?
