Let’s now explore the time before and after your powerful decision as we continue the internet marketing fear series.
In our last post, (entitled Pt 9, “How To Start Making Powerful Decisions), we discussed a great way to start thinking about making decisions called the WIN-WIN Model. Ultimately, the WIN-WIN Model says that it doesn’t really matter which powerful decision you make because each course has its own unique experiences and benefits. Essentially, you can’t lose no matter which decision you make.
However, the WIN-WIN Model does not say you should just go out and make decisions willy-nilly. Careful consideration is always recommended before making any decisions.
But so many people are afraid to make any decisions because they fear making a mistake. This is the result of thinking in terms of a WIN-LOSE Model of decision making, and causes a lot of stress and stagnation.
So in this post, we would like to give you some simple tips to follow before and after making powerful decisions. All great decision-makers follow these patterns, and you should too. So here we go:
BEFORE making a major decision, try these steps:
1. Focus immediately on the WIN-WIN Model. Affirm “I can’t lose, because my decisions will provide only new opportunties to grow and move forward.
2. Do your homework. Talk with others, get advice, research, and prepare yourself for the decision. But then at some point, you will have to just “pull the trigger”.
3. Establish you priorities. Take time to really know what you want and get a good “picture” of it in your mind. This will help you narrow your decision points.
4. Lighten up. Most people take themselves way to seriously. Just make the decision and have fun with the outcomes. The worlds full of opportunities no matter which way you go!
AFTER making the decision, try these steps:
1. Throw away your picture. Once the decision is made, throw away your original expectations of how it was suppose to be. Just work through it however it turns out.
2. Accept total responsibility for your decisions. This is a tough one because it’s so easy to blame others for bad decisions. Don’t do that. Just take 100% responsibility for your choices and own-up to them.
3. Don’t protect – just correct. If the outcome of your decision does not work out, don’t try to protect it (or protect yourself) – just change it! Practice making course changes immediately and you will get better and better at making good decisions.
Now go out and make some powerful decisions, especially in the areas where you are experiencing fear. Remember – whichever way you go, you cannot fail!
To the power of your decisions!
