There is No Such Thing As the “Right” Decision
You just make one. And then you make it work
Decisions hurt. When you make one, you remove potential from your life. You sacrifice what could be for what will be. You choose to spend your most valuable resource — time — on that decision.
So why would you ever give up on any decision without a fight?
Your significant other gets a job on the other side of the country, but that interferes with your plans. If the two of you have decided the relationship is a priority, you make it work. You will never see this happen on television shows. Two characters will always break up if their “dream jobs” don’t mix. We are taught the best career choice is always the best choice. It isn’t.
Trust is a difficult decision to make. Fight for it.
Your product makes half the sales you thought it should have. If you’ve decided to pursue entrepreneurship, you don’t surrender to the loss and go beg for a job. You make it work. You reinvest the money. You cut expenses. You read Nick Wolny’s insanely generous advice about non-buyer surveys and send it to your customers. You get feedback. You fix the issues. You sell again.
Owning your job is a difficult decision to make. Fight for it.
