You Are Only One Decision Away From Changing Your Life

I don't know where you're at right now, but the most valuable thing we have as entrepreneurs is not our time, but our attention.

If we have all the time but a million things are going on, we are useless because we have no decision-making power. Because our attention units are being allocated to these uninformed, unfinalised decisions.

We, as entrepreneurs, tend to accumulate these unmade decisions or unconfronted conversations. We know we should make them, and probably know what the right call is, but they just sit there unmade.

And so, as we start accumulating these things, the amount of thinking power continues to decrease until it gets to the point where you're so reactive because you have no brain power.

These can be life conversations with a spouse, parents, siblings, business partners, or employees. They can be decisions that must be made.

You are only one decision away from changing your life.

Just one decision. You can quit your job. That is one decision. You can start a business. That is one decision. These are decisions that we have to make at some point in our lives.

Most people don't regret doing things. They regret NOT doing things. And so I know that when I die, I don't want to regret not having done things. I'd rather do things, then fail so that I do not have the regret, and I'll have the experience.

You will have to suffer the pain of the consequences of those decisions, which is very hard for people to deal with. But you will have more attention and more bandwidth at your disposal. Because you'd have made the tough calls and started believing in yourself more.

If you can make these tough calls, then you can do this next thing. Which is always easier than dealing with the stress of managing a million different decisions unmade and living a life resulting from inaction.

I know exactly what decision I’m avoiding right now

I’m mentally overloaded by too many unfinished decisions

I’ve been decisive lately and feel clearer because of it
