Use his ideas to take some of the stress and uncertainty from
your decision-making. Read more about Malcolm at the end of

THIS ISSUE'S MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Decision Making for Giants and Elves
By Malcolm Harvey
We all make hundreds of decisions everyday.
Do I have tea or coffee with my breakfast? Do I wear that blue
shirt/blouse or the white one? Should I move over to the right
hand lane to avoid that slow moving, smoking and rusting heap
of junk on the motorway ahead of me?
Most of these decisions really have no long-term consequence
in our lives and we should be able to make them with ease.
Then why is it that we agonize over some decisions and not
others?
It's OK where we feel comfortable and in control, in other words
within our comfort zone. But in order to progress in life, even
just a little bit, it is inevitable that we will be faced with
uncomfortable decision making.
Some people seem to thrive on decision making and are paid
accordingly. They seem to be at ease deciding on courses of
action that would have tremendous consequences without so
much as a hesitation. Yet some of these decisions are poorly
thought out and are ego based rather than for the highest good.
Even these fluent decision-makers have times of indecision
particularity where it involves family and friends. So you are
not alone when it comes to stress induced by not knowing which
way is best.
How do you decide?
· The first thing to do is make the
decision!
Errrr… OK wise guy, if I'm struggling to know what to do, how do
I make a decision then?
The main reason people put things off is that they don't want to
make that decision, are not confidence about the outcome or are
fearful of the reaction of others. Yet the only route forward is
to have the courage to make a decision one way or other and face
the consequences.
In many cases whichever decision you make will be the right one;
the important thing is to actually choose the next course of
action. You can always adjust it later.
Learn to listen to your inner self and take the decision that
feels right.
· Make it your own!
Take responsibility for your own decisions and don't let others
make your decisions for you.
You have no one to blame other than yourself. It's your decision
and you are in control.
Obviously if you are in a partnership then decisions should be
made together, but make sure you are not railroaded into a one
sided decision. Negotiate, compromise and then take
responsibility.
· Make it work!
Action is the key. Whatever decision you make, work at it,
single-mindedly employing macro/micro vision, seeing the detail
as well as the whole until fruition. Do everything it takes, but
also be patience for the outcome.
· Die by it!
It is a common reaction to doubt.
Did I choose the right decision? What if I did it the other way?
Surely there is an easier way than this?
You've made the decision, you've taken the action and you've
taken responsibility for that action, now stick at it through
thick and thin, peak & trough.
We all make mistakes, but at least you are moving forward. Just
pick yourself up and carry on with more action.
Remember, you cannot fail with your decision; you can only learn.
So to summarize: Make a decision, Make it your own, Make it work
and Die by it
If you live by this rule you will at some time reach the success
you desire. However if you put off making that decision the only
thing left is a rut!

Losers visualize the penalties of failure.
Winners visualize the rewards of success.

but wish we didn't.

THE FUNNIES
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Stop by our website every day to see the Business Cartoon
of the Day by Ted Goff. http://www.bizsuccess.com/cartoon.htm
------------
Not so long ago...
-------------------
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!
Memory was something that you lost with age A CD was a bank
account
Compress was something you did to garbage not something you
did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public,
You'd be in jail for awhile!
Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!
Cut - you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash but when it
happens they wish they were dead!
