Plagued By Bad Business Decisions? Plus - Important Timely Bonus Download Info

I'm about to take off for the night. My intuitive eating coach is trying to get me to work 6 AM to 6 PM instead of 6 AM to 11 PM. It's hard for me to do, honestly. I tend to work all day and then have teeny breaks in between tasks like for 3 minutes at a time. She thinks I need a block of relaxation time.
I agree, but it's just hard to figure out when this has been your habit for years and years. So I'm trying! Scarlett's looking forward to it because we're going to give each other a makeover. She doesn't need one. But I sure do! We're just going to have leftover Tex Mex and watch TV and pamper ourselves tonight. I could get used to this!

Plagued By Bad Business Decisions?
There are some people who routinely make the wrong decision when it comes to business. I've already told y'all about acting like you're the boss and approaching your decision as if you had to judge an employee of yours doing something - would you fire him or her for it?But aside from that, here are three more ideas to help you make better decisions:
1. Use the "What if?" scenario.
What if the options you think you might go with weren't available? Is there anything better out there that, if you researched, you'd find that would be a better fit for your business? What if you go each route - look down the pipeline to the end result and try to forecast the outcome instead of just winging it and making kneejerk buying decisions.
Remember when Quaker Oats bought Snapple for $1.8 billion? What a horrible deal! Guess what they sold it for after they bought it? $300 million. Ouch! That's a huge loss. Know what happened? Snapple's popularity was winding down right when they bought it. They didn't look into the future to predict what might happen based on statistics and other facts.
Expand all your choices by looking at all your options and THEN narrow it down to the best one. Sometimes your immediate knowledge or instincts are too narrow.
2. Use the true friend analysis.
If your best friend or a family member came to you asking for advice based on what you're considering, what would you honestly tell them? Pretend they're in dire straits and need you to be blunt and truthful with them. Sometimes it helps to hear what you'd tell someone close to you because we have a tendency to lie to ourselves.
3. Test things out.
There are sometimes free trials of things or smaller scale operations that you can try out before you go all in on something. Like if you were considering Camtasia for example, try CamStudio first and see if you think you'll actually USE video editing software.
You might think you will, but then you avoid video and the tool would have gone to waste.
Okay time to leave my work desk. It's sooooo hard.

P.S. Prefer a weekly digest?
