Indecision is one of the most expensive habits you can have in business. Every time you delay—whether it’s raising your rates, hiring help, or investing in the support you need—you’re leaving money, time, and momentum on the table. In this episode, I’m sharing why overthinking costs you far more than mistakes do, how to build decision speed as a profitable skill, and the tools I use (and teach my students) to stop spinning and start moving forward.

IN THIS EPISODE, I’M TALKING ABOUT:

• The four traps that keep designers stuck: perfectionism, scarcity thinking, people-pleasing, and over-researching

• Real stories from my own business where delayed hiring and decision-making cost me big

• Why 80% clarity is more than enough to move forward

• Tools to help you make decisions faster: setting deadlines, running the numbers, the regret test, and the 80/20 rule

• A student success story that proves indecision costs more than action ever will

Business growth doesn’t come from perfect choices—it comes from consistent, timely ones. Every month you delay raising your rates, every time you put off hiring, every program you “wait until later” to join—that delay is costing you thousands. Indecision doesn’t keep you safe, it keeps you small.
