How to Make Highly Effective Decisions in Three Steps

Self Development

As 2024 is started and you feel a renewed energy to improve things in your business to create better results, with this article I want to help you decide what to change and improve.

“My business is so busy that despite working all the time, I can barely meet my client deadlines. So then I offer them discounts because I feel bad they had to wait. But I can’t find anyone skilled enough to hire to help me. And even if I did, I can't pay them when they’re asking for. And what if I don’t have enough work for them.”

How many business owners stay stuck in similar situations for months or years on end? Unable to make decisions that would move them out of the current unwanted situation towards a better outcome.

Decisions are what creates progress and grows your business.

There are three principles of making decisions as a high performer.

1) There’s no one universally right decision

There is the right decision for you at this moment based on your values, mission, long-term vision, and short-term goals you’re trying to accomplish.

2) It’s never written in stone

When you make a decision and implement it, the results, you get are new data and knowledge to consider as you move further. It’s OK to tweak, modify, or change your decision altogether when it’s no longer serving you. You are the CEO of your business. Making decisions is the most important and fun part of your job :).

3) You must commit fully to the decision before you implement

Once you make a decision you want, commit fully to it. That happens when you love your reasons for it. This way you don’t flip-flop going back and forth on other options when trying to implement it. The last thing you want is to sabotage the results by flip-flopping.

As a coach, I help my clients master the skill of high performance. A critical part of it is making effective and strategic decisions.

With my coaching, you get out of black and white, two options, thinking. You learn to see that there are always multiple solutions to your problems. I help you explore them effectively. You learn how to assess the risks and benefits of each option so that you can make the best decisions for you and your business and know how to implement them successfully.

During our weekly CEO Power Hour coaching calls, I help you stay committed to the decisions you make when your busy mind starts questioning them. It does it naturally because as a business owner, you are exposed to so much new information and so many opportunities every week. With my help, you keep focused, and consistent and keep getting closer to achieving your goals.

When you coach with me, you don’t stay stuck in a problem for weeks or months on end. You learn how to make powerful decisions, take calculated risks, and move your business forward while saving money and time and eliminating overwhelm. This is how I help you double your business with less work.
