8 Things to Consider Before Making a Big decision
This year, I was part of an intensive 12-month coaching program. Here's what I found: It is very simple to take better business and personal choices.
If you lead a fast-paced life, it's easy to be obsessed with creating and inventing and doing stuff constantly. You're organized and efficient when it comes to work, which can boost your productivity. But what do you know that you (and the rest of us humans) typically aren't so great at? Noodling. Marinating. Pondering.
This is an essential ability for making big life decision-making. In order to make smart, informed choices, you need to be able to think logically and feel your options from several different angles prior to making a decision.
Here are eight aspects to think about when confronted with a big decision, such as whether to accept the offer of employment or launch an innovative product onto the market. These factors were inspired by Tony Stoltzfus’ book Coaching Questions: A Guide for Coaches to Effective asking skills. In case where you demand a useful source on decision making, [url=https://flipsimu.com/dice-roller/roll-d4/]look at this website[/url].
1. Rationality
The rational, analytical part of your brain must be first weighing in on this decision. Create a list of pros and cons of your choices. When making a decision on whether or not you want to accept a job offer it is possible to consider "more cash" and "less time spent at work" as advantages.
2. Intuition
When you're bouncing between a variety of possibilities, your intuition is one of your strongest decision-making tools. To hone in on your intuition just take a few moments and do not think about the other things. Just sit quietly for a few minutes, and then contemplate the choice. What feelings are you experiencing? Are they positive ones? Or the heebie-jeebies?
3. Relationships
Whether you're married or single, have kids or don't have kids living by yourself or share a room with six others, your decisions affect the people closest to you. In order to help you evaluate the choice you're about make, think about the impact your decision will have on the people around you.
So, for example is the new job going to lead to less time with your spouse? Also, would it mean that your husband may quit work due to the increase in pay?
4. Alignment
Any choice you make to align with your values, passions and priorities or that you won't feel like you made the right choice. Before you can figure out if the decision is in line with the things that matter the most to you, you'll first need to determine the values, passions and values are. Next, create an outline of the ways that your decision aligns with (or does not align) with these elements.
5. Counsel
It's obvious that your choice will impact the lives of other people. What do these people think about the decision you're about make will impact you? Consider your options with your partner or family members, your colleagues, friends as well as mentors and colleagues. What are their opinions?
6. Negative Drivers
Many people make choices on the basis of the fear. Maybe you're afraid you're not likely to ever find an employment opportunity that you are truly excited over, and so you pick the one that you're less interested in because you have an offer of employment in your hand, it's a guarantee. Perhaps you're worried that nobody will join your company's first conference and you put it off for a year.
What are the factors that influence your decision? You don't have to solve for them all right now however, knowing how your fears are affecting your decisions will help you assess your options with greater clarity.
7. Cost
While money may not be the ultimate driver in the majority of decisions, it's still an important aspect to take into consideration. What will the decision you make affect your financial position? What resources do you require to execute on your decision? What will this decision be costing you in terms of time?
If you're the company's founder and decide to launch an entirely new product into the market, how much will it cost to create that product? How many people will you require to employ? What percentage of your time would you have to devote to successfully creating the product and then out to the world?
8. Risk and Reward
Then, consider the potential dangers associated with your options. Which is the best decision? Which is the most risky one? Are there any actions you can take to reduce the risk associated with that option? On the other side What are the possible rewards of each option? Sometimes, the risk is worth the rewards.
When you are familiar with working at a million miles per hour, it may be difficult to slow down. To ensure that you give yourself the space to work through your options in light of these issues I recommend that you set yourself a deadline to make your decision within. This lets your brain (and anyone else waiting to hear your answer, such as an employer) be aware that a time to make a decision is getting closer. This gives you the time to consider your options and come to the right decision. |
