How to stop playing and start acting | Businessman

Are you a doctor? Neither do me. So why do we spend so much time obsessed with business decisions as if we were doing surgery on an open heart? If I had to make a medical decision, I would really have trouble. And therefore not. But guess what? Many medical decisions are made quickly.

Day in both giant corporations and scrappy startups. Do you know what distinguishes them? In large companies, 99% of the time of worry with 1% of things that urine Will go wrong. For small ones, 99% of the time of sprinting is ahead – because there is no time to sweat small things. Move or start dying (metaphorically). It’s simple.

What I am talking about is basically different between palyzing risks and bold adoption of risk. One keeps the wheels of spin; The second keeps business in motion.

Once I wrote a post LinkedIn who simply said: “The biggest mistake you can make is to be afraid to do one.” It’s something that I remind me of my Lyself on difficult days. Because no matter how it gets, what we do is not life or death – it’s a business. And business requires momentum. It does not require the months of the group.

How do you keep your business in motion?

1. Be ruthless, thoughtful, about hiring

I worked in a company where the concluded agreement required six levels of approval. Six. Levels. Z. Approval. This is not a process – it is pure bureaucracy and bread. As you grow, be intending. Every rent should have a clear purpose and bring real value. If you raise these questions in a positive way:

• What does this role do do?

• How does it help us grow?

• Is it really full -time position?

• Would it be better to enter outsourcing than to keep it internally?

… Then hire. You build in a team, not a padded graph org.

2. You will make a call to 51%

You don’t make 100% sure. You don’t sit, you need 60%. If you are sure 51% – lean slightly towards one direction – that’s enough. It was. Waiting for perfection leads to paralysis. MOVEMENT. Decided. Edit later if necessary. Deal with a fall if it comes. In my experience, a great frightening “co-iifs” rarely happen. What Yes Happened? Nothing – because no decision is made.

3 .. Two days max

If it is a decision that keeps your business in operation, it should not take more than one or two. This included hard calls such as the ending. Certainly, the main events such as acquisitions or IPOs deserve more reasoning. This is not a one -time prophecy. Aim every day? When it stretches, you stop. Every day it adds uncertainty – and this is the price you want. Allow me to tell you a secret: the decision you will come to on the 30th day is probably the same camera on the second day. Try it sometime and you will see … or Done, because it means you really delay.

4. If you are wrong? The world will not end.

In most cases, the worst scenario is loss of income. It’s not good – but not fatal eith. As long as your decision is ethical, you will live to fight the next day. Leave fear of failure to keep you frozen. Beats InoCtion Action. Every time.

How less to think and do more

1. Create an intelligent consensus

Get entry from your team, but only cooperation becomes Buomerang. Ideas for Boures, align the direction and Then run. Note that it doesn’t mean everyone has been agreed. On the contrary. Use an intelligent consensus to inform your decision. This does not choose curtains – it is a move forward. Stop a polishing decision and just send them.

2. Get professional advice (but not marinating)

Do you need a legal opinion or some financial knowledge? Great – Get it. To find a lawyer. Hire birth. Use experts as a compass, not crutches. Their guidance should help you move faster and not slow down you. You should get another warm Fuzzies relying on information provided by an expert who was a problem earlier. This should give you an even smaller incentive for delay.

3. Trust your intestine

Seriously. Your intestines are smarter than you think. Once I ignored mine and joined the hot startup that felt “off”. It turned out that was. TThe founders ended up under federal accusations. Your instincts are also data. Learn to listen. When your intestine screams, pay attention. Your first impression is often correct.

Time is a real currency

Time is not just money; his All. You get so much of it. Long, outstretched decisions not only stop your business-will go into your life.

When you call forever, not only delay growth – delay freedom, balance and personal progress. So don’t waste your time trying to improve every movement. Businesses are not based on perfection. They built on dynamics.
