⏰ Mindset Minute

{April 18, 2023}

Today I want to share a powerful quote that has been on my mind lately:

"Not making a decision is still a decision."

As business owners, we know firsthand how important it is to stay in a growth mindset and take action towards our goals. But sometimes, we get stuck in indecision, and that holds us back from living a life that lights us up.

Here's the thing: when we delay making a decision, we are essentially choosing to stay in the same place and not move forward.

And often times, waiting too long could lead to someone or something else making the decision for us.

For example, if you’re not sure which flight to book, after so long, one of those choices will disappear and now there’s only one flight available to book. Or worse yet, none at all.

If you're struggling with indecision, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First and foremost, it's totally natural to be nervous bout the unknown. We all want to “make the right choice,” but it's important to remember that the results of our actions is just information. It’s just data and it doesn’t serve us to attach our worth to our results.

Remember, every successful entrepreneur has experienced failure at some point… if not daily!

What sets them apart is their willingness to learn from their setbacks, not let it slow them down, and KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Secondly, it's okay to not have all the answers. Seeking advice from mentors and industry experts, doing research, and trusting our intuition can all help us make informed decisions that align with our values and goals.

Lastly, setting a timeframe to make that choice can be a powerful tool for overcoming indecision. Giving ourselves a specific deadline to make a decision can help us avoid prolonged indecisiveness and force us to take action.

Remember the goal is forward motion ALWAYS.

So, if you find yourself delaying an important decision, or procrastinating, take a deep breath and remember that not making a decision is still a decision.

Embrace a growth mindset, trust in the universe, and take action towards your dreams EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

You got this!
