The $675K Mistake: What Deferred Decisions Actually Cost

from Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs · host Eleanor Beaton

What's the real cost of unmade decisions in your business? For Eleanor, the price tag was $675,000 in just 12 months.   In this episode, she reveals the two key decisions she delayed and the dramatic consequences of that deferral. It's easy to think that postponing decisions is neutral, but Eleanor's experience proves otherwise. Deferred decisions don't just linger quietly; they accumulate, causing drag on your business, your team, and ultimately your bottom line.   Tune in this week to as Eleanor shares why deferring decisions, especially around people and structure, is more expensive than most entrepreneurs realize. You'll discover the idea of creating "deciding rooms" to ensure that decisions are made quickly and decisively, and how to calculate the true cost of your unmade decisions.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1Lu8z14gNOQ Grab your Structure Diagnostic here: https://safimedia.co/diagnostic   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO93   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en
