A
lot of you watch me every
day and wonder how I get
so much done. When faced
with so much opportunity,
you wonder how I decide.
And the truth is simple, I just do.
Over the years I have developed an
unbelievable amount of intuition,
which is predicated on my experience
in business which allows me to execute
quickly and strategically on my goals.
You need to move fast. I am more
concerned about speed than being
“right” on the first try. It’s so much
better to try, fail, revise and try again
then spend all of your time debating
and never actually doing.
For me it comes down to a few things.
I’m reliant on my intuition because I
have seen this scenario before. You start
to develop pattern recognition and then
your intuition takes over which allows
you to make decisions based on all of
your prior experience in life.
At 42, I’m really starting to find this
Zen state where my experience and
intuition combine. I’m not dwelling
on the alternative, I’m deciding and
reacting to figure it out.
But for a lot of people who don’t
make hundreds of decisions a day, you
basically need to trust your gut. You
need to look logically at the situation,
analyze the pros and cons, trust your
instincts and decide.
It’s the lack of fear of failing that
has allowed me to make decisions so
quick. People don’t make decisions
because they are scared to lose. I make
decisions because I want to know
what’s going to happen, and then I use
that information to help advise what I
do next.
The one thing I know for sure, is the
outcome of what happens if you don’t
decide. If you never make a decision, or
deliberate for too long, all the upside or
potential opportunity could be lost.
The only thing I’m focused on when
evaluating opportunity is the net score.
The funny thing about being in this
position, is I am now crippled with
opportunity.
There are so many things I “could do”
and now I have to decide what “to do.”
All of those decisions are really made
on my intuition. What seems right at
that moment in time.
It’s not difficult to understand why
more shots on goal, gives you a better
chance to succeed. If I accomplish 14
things in a day, no matter how large or
small, that 14 is undeniably more than
two.
I’m on the offense so I’m just not
worried about what
