Why Smart, Successful People Struggle to Make Life's Biggest Decisions


Listen Later

Do you struggle making tough decisions because indecision is easier? While this is something everyone confronts at one point or another, it comes with a steep cost:

While indecision might feel like it provides relief in the short term, it eventually erodes your confidence, your relationships, and your ability to lead. It also creates a ripple effect that extends to every other aspect of your life.

Worst part?

Indecision is a slow poison and you might not realize the sabotaging effects it has immediately. In fact, it's common to only realize its effects until it's too late: After you're served divorce papers, get laid off from your job, or realize you hate the life you've created for yourself.

But it doesn't have to be this way. There are three key steps to becoming more decisive, so you can avoid the gut-wrenching pain that always comes with indecision.

And by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to do this.

Listen now.
