Decide Faster, Win Faster | Episode Fourteen
Eight and a half years into running his business, Rob Spence has identified one of the things that's held him back recently — and it's something he used to be brilliant at. Making decisions fast.
In this episode, Rob gets brutally honest about the fact that slow decision-making has started to stagnate his business. He backs up his gut feeling with research, quotes from some of the world's most successful business leaders, and a tangent about why he genuinely doesn't understand people who hate Amazon. As always, this is unfiltered, unplanned, and real.
Key Takeaways
- Slow decision-making doesn't just delay progress — it actively costs your business through stagnation, missed opportunities, and a compounding backlog of unmade choices.
- You don't need 90% of the information to make a good decision. 70% and moving is almost always better than waiting for certainty that never comes.
- Indecision doesn't give you a free mind — it fills it. Unresolved decisions quietly consume your headspace, even in your downtime.
- Empowering your team to make decisions isn't just good management, it's a speed multiplier. Approval chains kill momentum.
- The worst outcome isn't a wrong decision — it's no decision at all.
- 🎙️ How I Failed in Business — Rob and co-host Megan dig into the world of business failure, what goes wrong, and the lessons that come out the other side.
- 🎙️ The Sales Circle — Focused on sales, sales training, and business growth. Currently on a brief pause, but worth following for when it returns.
Hosted by Rob Spence — multi-award-winning entrepreneur and founder of multiple businesses — From Bedroom to Boardroom is the podcast for business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone thinking about taking the leap. Raw, honest, and always unplanned. New episodes every Wednesday.
