I thought I'd ask this QOTW about desicions and decision making...


When making a decision, do you:



  1. ask everyone and their dog for their opinion first

  2. ask only a few close people

  3. mull it over alone

When the decision is made, do you:



  1. tell everyone and their dog

  2. tell only a few close people

  3. keep it to yourself

I tend to tell EVERYONE my business and my desicions- and I really find myself trying hard not to.

I think it depends on the decision

When making a decision, do you:

1. ask everyone and their dog for their opinion first - it depends on the decision - I usually try to research things before I buy them. But mostly I know the right thing to do and make a decision based on my head and gut.

2. ask only a few close people - I might ask a friend or two or just tell them my story
3. mull it over alone - yes

When the decision is made, do you:

1. tell everyone and their dog - NO
2. tell only a few close people - YES
3. keep it to yourself - YES

I really have reached a stage in my life where I do not tell everyone everything or require validation for what I want to do - I feel very confident and happy.

I tend to ask a handful of people who would have some knowledge or experience in that area.


Once my mind is made up, I don't mind talking about it if someone asks.
