Want to know a sure fire way to completely sabotage your success in business and life? It's not being decisive and blowing people off. I can deal with people telling me to kiss off...I just can’t deal with people who blow me off. Nothing drives me crazier...especially if I send someone an email or leave a voicemail (sometimes 2 or 3 of them) and my messages vaporize into thin air. Hello...is anyone there? I need a decision from you.
How many emails do you have in your inbox? How many voicemails do you have saved? Is your voicemail box full? Why?
It blows me away that people think they will have more time tomorrow, or next week, than they do today to deal with the things they should have done yesterday, last week, or last month. Talk about insanity. Gang...the world does not stop spinning so you can catch up. Just get it done now.
If you want to be more successful, be more respected, and reduce the stress in your life, then find the courage to say it like it is. Don’t avoid it. Tell them “yes” or tell them “no,” but don’t tell them “maybe”. Worse yet, don’t blow them off just because you don’t have the courage to say NO.
Be decisive and communicate your decisions with confidence. I promise this will not only reduce your stress and anxiety, but it will have a huge positive impact on your life and business.
