Sitting on the fence hurts, in business as much as anywhere. How to hop down and make the decision.
Have you ever sat on a fence? Physically, I mean. One leg either side.
It hurts. Give it 20 minutes and you'll be desperate to get down.
Business decisions are the same. Sitting on the fence about a client or a price rise hurts too. Maybe not in your legs.
And while you're sitting up there, nothing changes.
The hardest thing is making the decision. Once it's made, it normally self-executes. Or at least it becomes a lot easier.
The weight lifts, even if you don't act on it straight away.
So hop down. Pick a side.
Before you do, risk assess the decision. Make sure you're not going to lose your house. Do the numbers. Stick to the facts.
If you hop down on the side with the dog, you'll soon know. And you can fix it.
What decision have you been sitting on this month?
PSa trick I use. Decide in advance. “If this happens, I'm out.” When it happens, the decision is already made.
