When my younger sister and I were kids, we loved play fighting with our dad.

His joke was " Dukes put up your Dukes" and he taught us how to box and protect ourselves.

He would say to us " Make a decision to keep your arms up and you will."

Years later - I dated a boxer (now there's a story over red wine!) and I would help him train. For hours I would hold the practice gloves up and my ARMS WOULD SCREAM at me to stop.

However, I will never forget something that long-ago boy-friend told me ...

"In the ring, the one who wins is the one who "doesn't quit the longest"

(Now - he didn't have a firm grasp of the English language, however, I loved the point of it!)

I'm always amazed when someone says to me "It's easy for you Kim - you look like you never QUIT anything."

Ha!

The "quitting thought" crosses my mind about lots of things - however, I have a secret strategy that helps me decide if I should keep going or if I should quit and try something else.

I call it CHOOSE OR LOSE (aka "not quitting the longest!")

So How Does "Choose or Lose" Work?

If you're flopping around like a fish out of water, panicking, worrying, and basically making yourself sick with indecision... then do what I am about to tell you....and do it NOW.

1.Make a damn decision already! (based on my filters below)

2.Choose to NOT SECOND-GUESS your decision.

If You Don't Choose - You Will Definitely Lose

Why?

Because the world can't stand a coward.

Too often we see our decisions as one big, gelatinous blob and we give each decision the same amount of priority. Sorry lady - this is going to make you one stressed out girl.

If you're stressed - it's because deep down you're worried that you have MADE A MISTAKE. And you're not prioritizing your decisions in any way, shape or form.

I have news for you.

Spend More Time Making Your Decision A Success!

Ask yourself these questions:

- How will this choice improve my circumstances?

- Will I grow from this experience?

- Will this decision increase my revenue?

- How can I create momentum with this decision?

- What am I willing to do to make my decision successful?

Your most important decisions deserve your time and attention in a positive and constructive way instead of focusing on what YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE!

And remember this. Most decisions are not life or death.

Hell - they aren't even in the same category as choosing red nailpolish vs pink nailpolish!

You can change any business decision by revamping, revisiting, reworking - because anything that is important will be an on-going POLISHING PROCESS. ( Just as in the ring you are always adjusting your strategy.)

When you're in the RING of BUSINESS you have to decide to ACT/NOT ACT and not dance around in indecision.

Try it. You'll like the results.
