Many of us sit on decisions far longer than we should.

Instead of being decisive we say, “I’ll just think about it for a while.” None of that is thinking, it’s all worrying:

Scenario planning
Likelihood of success/failure
What will people think?
Is it right or wrong?
Needing one more data point.

All of this worry is an attempt to eliminate discomfort, not risk. And indecisiveness is one of the major energy thieves in our lives.

Research on 2,600+ leaders found that decisive CEOs were 12x more likely to succeed. They didn’t wait for certainty. They acted at roughly 40-70% confidence and course corrected as they went.

Our success in life is in direct proportion to the velocity within which we make decisions.

You will never have complete information.

But you do have enough.

One question

Where are you delaying a decision because you want to be certain, not because you genuinely need more data?

One insight

If you have between 40-70% of the information, you are ready.

Below 40% is guessing.
Above 70% is usually overthinking.

Most decisions are testable hypotheses, not permanent verdicts.

Action creates clarity far faster than thinking ever will.

One action

Pick the decision you’ve been sitting on the longest.
Ask yourself:

Do I have between 40-70% of the information?

If yes:

What is my decision?
Am I clear on the next step?
When exactly will I act?
What accountability do I need?

If no:
Who can help me gather what’s missing?
Then set a deadline.

Insight alone does not equal transformation.

Stay accountable for your insight > action by sharing it with me. WhatsApp me the word accountability, I’d love to hear from you. https://wa.me/+442080584506?text=accountability
