If All Your Decisions Are Hard

The first month
of my Romance Writing business,
ALL my decisions
were difficult decisions.
I was making them all
for the first time.

Do I promote
other writers’ books
in my newsletter?
Do I sign up
for newsletter builders?
How often do I send
my newsletter?
etc.

All of these decisions
had to be made.

The next month,
it was MUCH easier.
I knew the answers
to all these questions
and, since nothing
in my business had
severely shifted,
my answers remained
the same.

The industry changes
but not significantly every month.
My business
is fairly stable.
I don’t have to
reexamine these decisions
every month
and that makes business building
MUCH easier.

If you DO have to reexamine
similar decisions every month,
that’s a signal
that something
-the industry, the business
or perhaps you
– isn’t stable.

Seth Godin
shares

“Hard decisions
that happen often
are probably a sign
that the system
you’re relying on
isn’t stable,
which means that
the thing you did last time
might not be
the thing you want
to do this time.”

If that’s the case,
consider changing
your situation
until it IS more stable.

Or resign yourself
to revisiting decisions often.
