Take your time to be smart...

In most people's mind, making good decisions is difficult - and making bad ones is very easy.

That's not logic. As we usually have to make (easy or hard) decisions everyday, we should be getting better at it, right? Well,apparently not. We keep making mistakes and taking bad decisions on a monthly, weekly or daily basis (which one is it for you?). Two tips I would give to people having hard time making decisions: take your time and do not take any decision that does not make sense to you. The best way to take bad decisions is to rush and not follow your gut.

This applies to all kind of decisions. But take "starting a new internet business" for example. Although (and because) starting up a new internet business can be really easy, cheap and quite fast to implement, lots of people start on the spot, wasting their time, money and energy in chasing the next multi-million dollar idea. I would guess that the main reason behind it is the lack of rational thinking and lack of listening to one's gut. I have a business idea once a week, and usually, after a few nights sleep, I know that: my idea sucks/is not realistic/is not profitable and does not any make sense to pursue.

Next time to make a 'tough' decision, try to apply these 2 basic tips and see what happens.
