Overcoming indecision and overthinking

from The Thrive Podcast · host Nicole Haney

I used to be a huge over-thinker I would spend literally *hours* making pros and cons lists, drawing decision trees, and absolutely agonizing over finding the right answer. Until I realized something that changed everything for me: There is no right answer. Life is not a test you can get 100% on. Life is messy. And the choices we make in our businesses and our day to day lives are not going to be perfect. There isn't a right choice and a wrong choice. There's just choices. Decisions. You just make one. And then - if it's not right for you - you make another one. We have to stop trying so hard to be perfect. To not "fail" by making the wrong choice. Which is what we're talking about today: - The path I've taken on being an over-thinker and a worrier - There's no right decision - Why you need to see business decisions as experiments - Starting with a decision MVP - What I've learned from failures in my current business - You will never have 100% certainty - Not making a decision is still a decision - Taking small steps in the right direction Connect with me: https://www.instagram.com/itsnicolehaney/https://www.linkedin.com/in/msnicolehaney/https://www.nicolehaney.com/
