I’m a perverse person.
I like to do my own thing,
take my own path.
But I’ve learned,
over the years,
that if the majority
of the people
in a similar position
to me
are taking
a certain action,
there’s usually
a d*mn good reason
for that.
So I investigate.
I look for those
d*mn good reasons.
I look for
more than one
d*mn good reason.
(Because people are unique
and different people
would have required
different d*mn good reasons.)
I talk with people
in private
because they are unlikely
to share ALL the reasons
in public.
I gather
as much information
as possible.
I ensure
I know and understand
WHY
they are taking
this action.
And then I decide
if my case is the exception.
That’s possible,
not probable
but is possible.
If everyone else
is taking a certain action,
there’s usually
a d*mn good reason why.
Know that reason
before making a decision
for yourself
or for your business.
