HOW TO STOP PREDICTING YOUR SELF WHILE MAKING DECISIONS


At some point in our lives, we all struggle with sticking to our decisions and tend to predicting ourselves. No matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, it is hard to be sure if you have made the correct decision. But it is also important to stick to a decision once it’s made and to stand by it. Do you often find yourself stuck in a dilemma when it comes to decision making? These tips can help.

1.      Make a list: Sometimes all the thoughts overlapping each other in our heads make the problem look bigger than it actually is. Writing down your thoughts and having a visual idea of your choices might make it easier for you to make a decision. You can further develop your list and make it easier to decide by listing down the pros and cons of all the choices and go with whichever is most suitable in the given situation.

2.      Practice making smaller decisions: Predicting yourself on important and big decisions is surprisingly common. Start by dealing with small and non-disruptive decisions first. For some people, being able to decide what they want for dinner off a restaurant’s menu card is a hard decision to make. If you are one of those people, focus on making such small decisions on your own, realize when you make a wrong one and practice moving on in such situations.

3.      Trust yourself: Many a time, our instincts make the decision for us right away but still, we go from friend to friend asking for advice. In doing so, we are only hoping that someone else will agree with us and the moment someone doesn’t, there is a sinking sensation in our gut making us question ourselves. Learn to trust yourself. It’s easier said than done, but can be learned through continuous practice. Evaluate the situation, listen to your gut and go for it.

4.      Embrace the unknown: Know that you can’t “know-it-all” and accept it. Fearing the unknown when it comes to decision making is just an additional stressor. Instead, it’s best to embrace it. Do the best you can do with evaluating your options, assessing the pros and cons, respect your instincts and go ahead with it while being mentally prepared for the consequences.

5.      Learn from your mistakes: The most effective way to be more confident when you are making decisions is to make more decisions, including the bad ones. Let mistakes be a lesson and allow them to help you grow. Practice moving on from a bad decision instead of dwelling on it. Sometimes being indecisive is worse than being wrong. So, be kind to yourself if you make a wrong decision and instead of beating yourself about it, reassess the situation and learn from it for the future.

DOUBLE STANDARD

DOUBLE STANDARD It's not that hard to know that we live in a society where double standards are at the core of everything, we will want an educated wife and not allow her to work, we will want good politicians but won't want our kids to be the one's to change the systems in place cause it too risky, we will make fun of our cricket team and expect them to give us our best, we call male/female instrument of pleasure for many models and a loved while if they becomes instrument of pleasure to one they become an escort/prostitute and a symbol of hate. In fact we use religion too as a tool to emotional blackmail, exploit and win arguments may it be personal or political.   We will have to start thinking, because if we don't have the ability to think then 100 years of freedom wouldn't bring us any good.

School is FAILING Entrepreneurs Every Single Day

The title arose a question : Did school fails you or you failed School? School is failing entrepreneurs every single day because it's not build for entrepreneurs, it's build for workers. We are being taught to play within the lines. There is nothing being taught that maps to the entrepreneurial market. As a matter of fact my biggest cynicism when I sit across an entrepreneurs today as if they are to successful at school. I probably look at grads starting start up right now with more of negative light than I do somebody who wasn't as good, Why?. Why, Because what I have learned over the last few years and by the way I have taken a step back on this because there are too many entrepreneurial friends who have gone to great school that have been successful. So this is not a blanket statement, but I will tell you that in a world of private schools, in a world of mommy and daddy having a lot of connections. That when you go from 12,15, 18 years of the transport system an...

HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED

“Inspiration” and “motivation” are two words that are misinterpreted to hold the same meaning and are often used interchangeably. They may be similar conceptually but are completely different from each other in their true meaning. Inspiration is derived from “in spirit”, which essentially means from within. Whereas, motivation originates from “motive”, referring to an external force that compels us to take action. Motivation usually comes into play when we need to carry out a difficult task, push through a stressful situation or need to meet a deadline. We usually rely on motivation when it comes to accomplishing something we may not necessarily look forward to. It’s that voice in your head that tells you “You can do this”, “It will be worth it” just when you are about to roll back into bed, tempted to miss your morning work or gym alarm. Motivation comes from results and that is exactly why it’s so easy to get demotivated. It’s fleeting, something that comes and goes and is hard ...
