Don’t get me wrong. I believe in asking questions. I wrote a whole blog post about that.

But I also know that merely asking the right questions is not enough to get you moving forward.. At a certain point, you have to trust yourself enough to choose one direction and try it out. 

This lesson really hit home for me last week when I had a business dilemma and I needed to find a solution.

“Yes, no, maybe so, black, white, I don’t know.”

It was all a mumble jumble in her head and she was waiting for me to be her savior. Just tell me what to do!

Let’s call her Rachel. She came to me with a dilemma.

“You’re sure you don’t want to fix it? It’s going to be long trip.”

“It’s really not so bad, I’ll review the directions before I leave.”

Until it was really bad. Because there is reason why they invented a GPS.
But the charging port in my car was not working.
So I was really lost. And it wasn’t fun.

As entrepreneurs, it feels great to look back on our progress and realize that despite all the doubters we have come so far.

The voice of the critics were loud. But we learned to shut them out, staying far from unsolicited advice and well-meaning friends.

My consulting clients come to me with lots questions. Here is a big one-

“Is it worth it for me to continue doing XYZ?”

Instinctively, I run to analyze the numbers. And it’s true, the numbers tell a big story.

But, there is another major part I need to take into the equation. That is YOU!
