FIND A WAY OR FIND AN EXCUSE — Making Committed Decisions — Part III

Can you afford it?

A $5,000 coaching program appears in your inbox. You really want to take that program.

Can you afford it?

That pretty red dress in the Saks Fifth Avenue window has your name on it.

Can you afford it?

You look at your budget and shuffle a few things around. You purchase the red dress. You purchase the $5,000 course.

You can afford it.

It’s never about the money. If it’s important, you’ll find a way; if not, you’ll find an excuse.

When you’re good at making decisions, it’s just a matter of whether you want that thing or not. You may not have the funds in the moment, but if it’s what you need and you’re good with decisions, you’ll find a way.

You can afford anything. The money is at your fingertips when you make a decision. When you’re indecisive, money stays away. If you made the decision but the money did not appear, it means you did not make a decision.

According to coach David Neagle, when you make a committed decision, it shows up in two places: your wallet and your calendar.

Here’s a technique for making decisions. Make decisions with the resources you have on hand right now, not with what you wish you had. Decisive people don’t permit their current resources to determine if they can make a decision or not. They make their decision from the place of where they want to be.

So the first-time entrepreneur who wants to look presentable at her first speaking gig will ask herself, “What would a six-figure entrepreneur wear?” and then buy that pretty red dress.

If you want to grow your business, you consider what a six-figure business owner would do. She would hire a top-notch VA to help her, a bookkeeper to do her books, a nanny to keep her kids occupied while she’s working. She would not try to be a lone wolf and do it all herself without support.

Did you ever make a decision and the money appeared? How do you know when you have made a committed decision? Share your comments below.
