When building a profitable practice, sometimes you will make impulse decisions. The question is: Are spontaneous decisions bad? When faced with decisions, you want to have the best information possible.
Some people spend too much time trying to find as much information as they can, and they miss opportunities
because of it. Information is a key component in the decision-making process, however, sometimes you simply have to decide and live with the decision without any information. You don’t want others to view you as someone who makes rash decisions. You’ll lose credibility when you do this and people won’t take you seriously.
However, you must prepare yourself for certain times when being decisive is necessary. For instance, you may be registering for a class and discover that a few of the courses you were hoping to take are full. You are given other choices but are unsure of how that will fit into your overall plan and goal. Do you enroll in these alternative classes? You have to make a decision. You may decide to go for the classes. If they are part of your curriculum, you can always work your plans so that they fit in. You’ll want to talk to a trusted advisor and ask how to proceed after taking this new path. Of course, you could always drop the classes if they don’t fit, as well.
The point is, if a decision doesn’t work out, the wrong results can usually be fixed. Don’t be afraid to take the plunge. The shoe company, Nike, has a slogan that has worked for them for several decades now. The slogan is: Just Do It.
A structured living doesn’t fit well with some people. They need the excitement that comes with making spontaneous decisions. Who’s to say that their way is wrong? It may not work for others, but for them it works quite well. You may know people who are like this and are envious of them. This isn’t the same scenario as people who don’t do much with their lives. Spontaneous decision makers are often doing many activities. You can decide to do nothing, but you won’t get very far. Unless you are lucky enough to come from money, and your parents are willing to give you that money, you will need to find something to do.
Most people will find a balance of decisions they make based on information and spontaneous decisions. The process of decision making becomes easier the more you do it. Therefore, when you need to make spontaneous decisions, it will not be as difficult after a while.
