The ability to make decisions quickly allows you to make more decisions and learn from them. Learning from people more successful than me has been a blessing. They often make 10s of decisions daily. I struggle with making decisions which often results in what I have called "analysis paralysis.

#053 - When to push on someone

I started a kitchen renovation in May of this year. For the most part it has been a great experience. To see the change from an outdated and poorly laid out room to a useful, beautifully designed kitchen makes me feel great. I now have a kitchen that encourages me
