Decision-making is an essential part of running a business.
Like many people, I’ve spent money on courses and templates for my business over the years. These things often teach me something tactical — but they don’t teach mindset.
Some entrepreneurs turn to coaches to help them develop a business mindset. Coaches are certainly an option, but they might not be in your budget, results aren’t guaranteed, and there are a lot of bad coaches out there.
I have a business mindset, but it didn’t come from a course or a coach: it came from spending 15 years at a tech company before I started my own business. Part of that time was spent on the executive team. That experience taught me what I needed to know.
And it boils down to one thing: as a business owner, I have to trust my decision-making ability. And, as a result, I have to trust that things will work out because of my decision-making.
If you can adopt this mindset, you’ll have more confidence and clarity as you navigate the ins and outs of running your business.
Running a business is about taking calculated risks.
