I get a lot of things that sound too good to be true or opportunities that make me feel FOMO even before I say no. Now let me tell you: I get a lot of offers disguised in shiny wrapping paper. When I ask those questions to see if a decision is aligned with my three main goals for 2019, it helps me to really see if it’s a worthy yes or if it needs a “no.” Will this support my goals for keeping the podcast a top resource and allow me to create free content? Will this help me create better courses and serve my students in a new way? Will this decision help or hurt my desire to put family first and to show up for them in new ways? When I know what my best year looks like, it’s easy to decipher if opportunities are worth taking or saying “no” to. When I get faced with a decision to make, I measure it against those three big goals for next year. I want to put my family first and make sure that I am home, present, and able to be a part of the big moments and milestones. I want to serve my students and make my online courses the best out there with updated and current content that leads to big results. I want to grow the podcast and it’s reach while maintaining a high quality of content and to make it the BEST free resource for creative entrepreneurs, specifically women. When you can set up a really clear benchmark that you are chasing down, it’s easy to put a ruler up to a decision and deem it a clear “yes.” I know what I want for my life, I know what I want my year to look like, I know what will move me forward (and what would take me away from that goal) and so it all begins with knowing where you want to go. I believe making decisions ALL starts with being REALLY clear on where I am heading. This one skill has saved me hours of deliberation, seasons of questioning, and it’s given me the clarity to say my best YESes! Three Steps for Better Decisions I want to walk you through how I became a better decision maker, the things I ask myself when making big decisions, and how you can implement a few simple steps to become better at making decisions, sticking to them, and not doubting what you decide. Making fast decisions and being a very decisive person has gotten me really far in life. Now Drew would probably argue that I’m a little TOO decisive, but I know what I want and now I don’t really waiver or question my decision. Can you relate with that? You want to make everyone happy and you kind of just keep to yourself and let others make decisions in life like where to eat for dinner or what movie to watch. I haven’t always been super decisive, in fact, in the past I would categorize myself as a wishy-washy human being who was more of a people pleaser than a certainty queen.
