The nature of the entrepreneur will put you in unprecedented situations constantly
Past experiences; - most of the decisions we make on a daily basis are based upon our previous experiences. The reactive observation, “That looks off - I was hurt once - don’t touch it.” This is really a rather simplistic decision to a situation. The idea of understanding, evaluating and deciding our decision making process, is quite possibly one of the most effective, yet difficult things to do.
We are always being confronted with decisions, both big and small. These decisions usually carry with them some sort of emotional process that is important to us as individuals and are like an emotional compass that helps our decision process. We need to cultivate a discipline for making good decisions that seem contrary to our emotions or our initial thoughts based on past experience and feelings. Sometimes though, I find myself so far out of my comfort zone that I don’t know what to do and with no prior experience of how to make sound decisions at times.
This may sound simple and it actually is. But it simply requires us to embody an objective stance - assess the situation logically and objectively - then act accordingly with the best information we have at the time and stick to our guns. We are highly capable of turning situations into opportunities for mental growth. Learn to take authority over our personal bias or past experiences and you are well on the road to making good decisions that will serve you well for the future.
Learning something new can be hard work. Yet the reality is when you engage yourself mentally, you usually discover something you already know.
Make the decision today to stop making bad decisions and learn to be objective – it will serve you well for the future.
