Hi there,
Do you notice how we categorise people?
When it comes to the way people make decisions, we tend to group people by their outlook on the future. You’re either a pessimist or an optimist and it’s rare we see our piers outside of those groups.
This is bad for your decision-making.
Balance is the key to considering potential outcomes when we make decisions.
To sit and make decisions without thinking about the different outcomes will only lead to a bad decision. Our thinking is often limited to the classifications I just talked about. We either become consumed with the best-case scenario—or the worst.
Today’s article offers a timely reminder of what can go wrong when you become fixated on only one type of outcome. There are serious dangers to only looking at one side of the coin. Get the article here.

Hi Reader, Without a question, nothing deliberate happens. It’s a point you probably overlook. Simple questions give you answers, but great questions create actions that lead you toward discoveries. Never fear a question that challenges you. Fear the ones that don’t. What if? How does? Who would? A great question doesn’t limit your answer. That’s the exciting thing about a first-rate question. There is no downside to a thought-provoking question, just an unlimited upside. An excellent...
Decisions frequently focus on one outcome. We decided to order pizza for dinner one evening. It was cheaper to collect, so that was the option we chose. The outcome had us drooling. A hot pizza base covered in tomato sauce, pepperoni, and cheese so warm it would turn to string as you took a bite. Collecting the pizza threw some uncertainty into the mix. The pizzeria was at the bottom of a steep hill, covered in snow from a blizzard that afternoon. Unsurprisingly, the outcome looked less...
I know as a solopreneur how easy it is to make a change. At the drop of a whim, I can — and do — make lots of changes with hope driving the outcome. I could (before this), without hesitation say I have never created a hypothesis to support a change. That's the joy of working alone. I have the ultimate choice.
