Are you good at making decisions?

Are you good at making decisions?

Do not be fooled by the simplicity of the writing below. The power of it, is in its simplicity.

If we could encapsulate your life as being a picture and if you were to view that picture of your life today. The picture that you would view would be painted by the decisions you have made up to this point.

It stands to reason, the life experiences or picture that you will see tomorrow and the next day will be based on the decisions you make today. So your business will thrive, survive or fail based on the decisions you make.

I have said it on this forum a few times, which I'm a very strong advocate of the book Think and Grow Rich. Something he writes about and many coaches speak into, is the power of effective decision making. Highly successful business owners make decisions very quickly and change them very slowly if they change them at all.

The less successful business owner, which is the majority of all businesses, make decisions very slow and change them frequently.

So ask yourself, are you an effective decision-maker? Can you improve your decision-making?

Many entrepreneurs can't make decisions at all. They rely on other people to make decisions for them. In fact, they don't like thinking either. They would much rather have somebody do their thinking for them.

That is why Henry Ford said, thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.

If you don't like your life's picture, change your results by changing your thinking and become an effective decision-maker.

To your success ~ James Brush.

What your fellow electricians say about ES2.

New member here. I went into business in 89 and have been flat rating for about 15 years. I was trying to find one program to get rid of 6 that I was using.I found it! There is so much great information in the forum, and the contributions by everyone is nothing like I've ever seen. Tight group in here. The forums are worth the monthly fee alone.

I have been using the system for nearly four years now. To call this anything less than essential would be doing a disservice to what it has done for me. The amount of time it saves me from office paperwork is priceless. I no longer need to come home after a long day and type up handwritten notes into spreadsheet and mail out an invoice or quote. Everything is done onsite. My customers receive quotes nearly instantaneously, and I'm no longer trying to estimate on the fly. The team at ES2 is very attentive and constantly striving to help advance my business as a whole. I'm glad I can count of them being in my corner when I need them.
