Summary

Today, we are talking all about making decisions and being decisive.

Lindsay talks in a practical way about how to gather all the facts, make a decision, and move on. We all make so many decisions each day, this is such a great skill to master.

Sometimes it’s about courage. And not avoiding hard decisions. Because you’re never going to feel like it! We need to stop hesitating and just make a decision.

Realize a decision is a decision and if it’s not the right one, you’ll make a new decision. Don't put so much pressure and so much power on each decision. There really aren’t that many HUGE decisions we make in life.

Lindsay talks about how you can only really see things clearly once they pan out. Once things happen, you know how what was the better our worse decision. But a lot of times you don't have this info… so you have to make the best decision with the best information that you have. From there, keep making more decisions to get to where you want to go.

Dont beat yourself up over the not so great decisions - it just doesn’t move you forward. Don't go backwards.

Lindsay talks about how being decisive can help you be so much more confident. And how training yourself to get uncomfortable can totally help in this process too!

The goal of this podcast is to help you make decisions quickly and commit to them. It’s a superpower and the sooner you master it, the better your life will be.

Your life comes down to your decisions, and if you change your decisions and the way you make decisions, you can change anything.
