Throughout your life, you can expect to be faced with decisions every single day. They may be simple decisions, like which route you’re going to take to work in the morning, or they can be the sorts of decisions that have real consequences in some way. Entrepreneurship in particular is full of tough decisions, and the difference between success and struggle is knowing how to navigate these with peace and confidence.
For women in business today, decision making is particularly scrutinized. Making a wrong decision may be judged harshly, while making the right one could be minimized even if it proves to be highly successful. Top tips for entrepreneurs, women in business, or anyone facing a difficult decision in any setting are:
• Consider what is best under the circumstances at hand – All too often we focus on making the “right” decision, when a right decision might not be present at all. At Technalink we encourage our teams to consider the circumstances at hand, and to make decisions not based on what’s right or wrong, but what’s the best fit for the situation. If the decision you’ve made leads to challenges, they can be considered to be learning opportunities that will help you to make an even more informed decision next time.
• Look at your core values – For spiritual entrepreneurs, your core values can get a bit lost sometimes when faced with a tough decision. In these situations, remember your core values first and focus on the power of your spiritual entrepreneurship to guide you through your decision making process. Step back from the decision, check in with your authentic self, and see what your heart is really telling you first.
• Don’t fear asking for input – Every person has their own individual thought processes, and this means that each person has their own viewpoints and their own ideas. When facing a difficult decision, don’t fear asking for input from your team, other spiritual entrepreneurs, and those you trust to see what they think about the situation.
There is no way to avoid decision making in everyday life, whether that’s at the office or in your own personal journey. Keeping your values at the forefront, asking for input, and considering the situation surrounding the decision helps to guide you to making the right one confidently.
