This may be the number one activity that most entrepreneurs stumble on!!! While it’s so easy to think you aren’t committing this crime, it can make or break you! If you stop overthinking things you just might see your business take a turn for the better!
Wondering how overthinking things can set you on a crash-course to failure?
If you’re a business person, you find yourself making decisions all day, every day. This can become paralyzing if you overthink every decision. From the smallest of decisions to the largest ones, if you overthink things, you will never move the needle forward in your business.
I’ve recently started a new website focusing on helping people in the entrepreneurial space. I could have thought about many different paths, but I decided to choose this one as I am passionate about helping people, even if it’s in a small way. I chose one direction and just started! As I’ve said before, getting started is the hardest part! If you’d like to read my article on getting started, click here: Getting Started If I had not made a decision about the direction I wanted to go in, I would still be trying to decide what to do. Overthinking things would not work to my advantage!
What happens when I make a decision and feel it may not be the perfect choice? I course-correct!!! This happens every day, all day in your life!!! You may not realize it, but you’re making small decisions everyday that lead to things getting done. Not making a decision is much worse as it isn’t going to move you in any direction.
The next time you are faced with something that you need to think about to make a decision, weigh the pros and cons, then get to that decision and move on to the next. If you find that it wasn’t the best decision, then you make another one to course-correct…and it goes on and on. I find that I get so much more accomplished when I stop overthinking things!
