The Truth about making Decisions

Decisions vs Preferences
Getting people to actually make personal decisions is one of the toughest things to do. How many times have you joined up with a group of friends, planning to have a bit of fun on the town only to find out two hours later nobody will just make a decision on where to go!

Why is this? Many people have a mindset of 'Preference' thinking. This type of thinking will lead to being indecisive and unable to ever commit. For example:

Preference Statement- I would really like to lose weight (need to, have to, should).


Instead of this type of mindset challenge yourself to be more proactive in making firm decisions. In doing so you will find out that you will quickly get on the fast track to achieving personal goals! For example:

Decision Statement- I will lose this extra weight starting right now.

Decision statements require comittment and are very powerful.


Challenge yourself today and see how many decision statements you can actually make!
