Why Smart, Successful People Struggle to Make Life's Biggest Decisions

Do you struggle making tough decisions because indecision is easier? While this is something everyone confronts at one point or another, it comes with a steep cost:  While indecision might feel like it provides relief in the short term, it eventually erodes your confidence, your relationships, and your ability to lead. It also creates a ripple effect that extends to every other aspect of your life.  Worst part? Indecision is a slow poison and you might not realize the sabotaging effects it has immediately.
