There are times when I stumble through Seth Godin’s blog and he rocks my life into oblivion… this morning it happened again. Seth has a post about decision making and the power of making a decision in the world of business growth… as many decisions as possible. Interesting thought right?
From Seth’s blog:
No decision is a decision as well, the decision not to decide. Not deciding is usually the wrong decision. If you are the go-to person, the one who can decide, you’ll make more of a difference. It doesn’t matter so much that you’re right, it matters that you decided.
Don’t you feel like standing up and singing hallelujah? Don’t you feel like making some strategic decisions? I know I do.
What is keeping you from moving to the next step of business growth? Is it a marketing initiative? Is it jumping into social media (God forbid)? Are you letting yourself make decisions that might have a negative effect on your bottom line… that is key. Successful businesses take risks and live to tell about it.
And if you don’t live to tell about it…
At least you can say you tried your best and gave it your all. If you don’t make risky decisions and adapt to the changing world… you may be dusting off that resume.

I tell my friends, family, coworkers, etc., that choosing not to do something IS a decision. Therefore, you cannot use the excuse of, "Well, I didn't do anything." That excuse only works if it really was due to ignorance — not stupidity!
