Succeeding in business can be boiled down to two things: making great decisions and following through on them. We're going to focus on the first one, noticing how great decisions are more than just the choice you make, but also the speed and confidence with which you make it. The fact is, many business owners move too slowly with their decisions, falsely thinking that if they just wait a little longer to decide then they will have a better chance of making "the right decision."  But as with so many other aspects of leadership, making good decisions is a skill that you can improve at, which will help you overcome the analysis paralysis that many leaders experience. In this episode you will discover: The foundation for confident decision making, and how to build it for yourself A question that will help you avoid beating yourself up over decisions that don't turn out well The hidden resources for your business and life that lie untapped while you mull over a decision For the full show notes and transcript visit: https://besuperabound.com/podcast/284-the-cost-of-slow-decision-making
