Deliberate Decisions – the cure to the most common entrepreneurial trap
The pull towards being busy is incredibly strong. This is especially true for entrepreneurs with our never ending to do lists and our underlying worry around the uncertainty of our revenue stream.
Busy feels effective. Busy feels safe. “How are you?” a friend on the street asks. “Busy, really busy. ” This has become our standard answer. We believe it is the right answer. It makes us feel like we are part of the buzz.
However, there are legitimate questions around the value of busy. I wrote several months back about frenetic performance vs. peak performance. It’s worth the read.
Sometimes we make ourselves very busy but not very productive. The busier we get the more difficult it is to evaluate if we are being productive. We are jumping from activity to activity, never really getting any traction towards our desired goals.
There is a cure for this common entrepreneurial trap – It’s called Deliberate Decisions. Deliberate decisions are characterized by careful and thorough consideration. They are characterized by awareness of the consequences. It is about being unhurried, steady and making decisions that truly move us towards our preferred outcome.
