Who is in charge of decision-making in your freelance business? YOU ARE!
Just like you're in charge of everything else.
But as creatives and solopreneurs, we often find our minds supporting decisions we already want to make, sometimes missing critical information - a cognitive bias known as confirmation bias. This episode explores this fascinating concept and other influences on our everyday choices. We'll also discuss tools and techniques that can help us make more objective decisions, and the importance of seeking advice from trusted peers or mentors.
Have you ever jumped to a decision impulsively only to regret it later? With the potential to impact our lives significantly, the decisions we make should be informed and rational. There are tools we can use, to slow down our innate tendency to jump to emotional conclusions. We'll also emphasize the significance of reflection in the decision-making process and how it can teach us valuable lessons.
We can't (and should not seek to) remove emotions from decision-making in our business. We're independent operators precisely because we care about choosing for ourselves! But we can use robust thinking models for more rational and informed choices. And we can also seek external help, such as a coach or mastermind, to provide alternative perspectives and foster accountability.
Listen in as we break down these concepts and provide a treasure trove of insights for anyone seeking to improve their decision-making process in business and personal life.
