Are You a Good Decision Maker?

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions…
Some of us started our Millionaire Mind journey when we decided to go to the Austin Health Conference last March. While there, we decided to sign up for T. Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Workshop. When T. Harv’s plane was diverted and he missed the talk, he decided to gift about 500 of us with scholarships to the Millionaire Mind Intensive weekend in Fort Worth. About 350 of us decided to go to Fort Worth, about 320 graduated Millionaire Mind Intensive three days later. Of that number, about 100 of us decided to form a Millionaire Mind Support Network™ to help each other implement the many lessons of our Millionaire Mind Intensive experience.
Millionaire Mind training stress business ownership, self employment or being paid by your output rather then by the hour is the surest path to wealth creation and financial freedom. Most of us left Forth Worth knowing that we were facing a number of decisions that would effect every aspect of our lives.
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
It seems like every time we turn around, we have to make more decisions.
The question is, “Are you a good decision maker?”
If you aren’t (or don’t think you are), there is no need to worry. Decision-making is a skill that can be learned by anyone. Although some people may find this particular skill easier than others, everyone applies a similar process.
There are two basic kinds of decisions:
Those that are arrived at using a specific process and those that just happen.
Although both kinds of decisions contain opportunities and learning experiences, there are definite advantages to using a specific process to make a decision. The most obvious advantage is the reduced level of stress you will experience.
Wise decisions are made using a definite process. They are based on the values and perceptions of the decision-maker and include carefully considered alternatives and options along with periodic reassessments of the decision and its effects. Wise decisions may or may not follow societal norms and expectations, but they are right for the decider based on what he/she knows at that point in time about his/her options as well as him/herself.

Just a reminder — I’m a retired SBDC counselor, who knows where to look stuff up — both online and IRL. In this case my source is SBA publications. For individual business support with any aspect of your business contact the nearest SBA-sponsored Small Business Development Center.
