Hmm, I'm not sure if you have, but I know I have totally been in that boat before second-guessing a decision that I spent a great deal of time actually making in the first place.

When you second guess your decision, or you doubt the decision that you've made in the past, it tells your brain that you're not good at making decisions.

Here are three tips when you find yourself second-guessing decisions.

Tip Two – What’s the trigger?

Tip number two is to figure out what triggered the thought for why you're second-guessing your decision.

This is some really good feedback on your decision strategy.

Did you hear somebody else talking about it?

Well, if your decision-making strategy includes hearing people talk about or getting trusted recommendations for purchases, it might spark your decision strategy to come up in your brain.

Begin to question why you’ve started down the path of second-guessing your decision.

What triggered you to begin to question your previous decision?

But here’s the thing in the world of NLP, there's never a failure, there's only feedback.

Let’s look at that feedback to figure out what triggers the second-guessing of your decision-making.

Tip Three is to give yourself grace

Well first off at that moment, it was the best decision for you and your online business.

Well, you need to realize that all the back and forth of second-guessing your decision keep you stuck in the past instead of living in the present and being the best business owner that you are right now.

Now, this is important you must believe in your decision-making ability as a business owner.

The problem is the constantly second-guessing decisions is actually not believing in the fact that you can make good decisions and good choices as an online business owner.

We both know that’s not true. Give yourself grace, you're capable of making good decisions.

And on top of that, all the second-guessing is wasting your time and energy.

Here’s what I mean second-guessing your decisions only adds to decision fatigue.

I’ve talked about it before, our brains can only handle so much in a given day. Second-guessing decisions adds to your decision fatigue.

Stopping that, give yourself grace with your decision-making ability.

I'm going to leave you with my mantra for the year: Business is easy when I take messy, imperfect action.

When I find myself second-guessing a decision that I made for my business I tell myself that’s not true. Ask what’s triggering this right now. Give myself grace, because business is easy when I take messy imperfect action.

I encourage you to believe in yourself. Be confident in your decision-making abilities because I know you're doing the best you can for your online business.

What do you do when something is not working in your online business? For example, let's say you have a launch on a new course that you've created or a done-for-you service that you offer, and it's not doing as well as you’d like, you're completely hearing crickets. Now, this is important. I'm going to tell you to stop switching your offer when something doesn't work for you, the first time.

Believe it or not

Do you still not believe me? Well, you need to think about this, our natural instinct is to keep trying, even when it doesn't feel like it works the first time.

Here's a prime example for any parents out there.

Think back to when your children were babies, and they were starting to walk and talk did they get it the first time? No!

But, here’s the thing they kept trying, they didn't stop, they kept trying until they actually mastered walking and talking.

And that’s what I mean that tells us that our natural instinct is to keep trying, even when it doesn't work the first time.

Only a few

I’d like to point out it is only in a few situations that I would say, Oh, hold on sister, maybe you need to stop that.

Those are the situation that could be physically harming you, emotionally, or mentally, that would be the only situation where I would tell you to stop.

In Online Business

Here is the thing in your online business when it doesn't work the first time around, that is just feedback that you can use to make it better than next time around.

So at your next launch, you will know that you need to do X, Y, and Z instead of A, B, and C.

I’ll say it again you only become an expert when you keep doing it, meaning stop switching your offer.

When you take your launch debrief information and use that feedback you will do even better than next time.

Your Desire

Let me point out that desire to switch or to stop. That's your brain trying to pull you back into comfort.

What most people don’t realize when you're pushing yourself outside your comfort zone you do not feel safe, it’s scary and your brain is going to keep you safe every single time.

But that's okay because the more and more you do it, the better and better you'll get the more comfortable and the safer and safer you'll feel as you're launching your offer.

Today, I encourage you to stop switching and keep on with your offer and take that feedback and make it better.

Here is just a snippet of the important points, you know for the skimmer in you. 🤪

• Stop switching your offer when something didn't work for you the first time.
• We only become good at something when we keep trying to do it and improve upon it
• Our natural instinct IS to keep trying even when it doesn't work the first time.
  Here is something I'd like you to think about. Does a baby give up on walking when they fall down the first time, no they keep trying until they master walking! That tells you our natural instinct is to keep trying even when it doesn't work the first time. Only in a few situations would I tell you to hold up on trying, that would be if it is harmful to you physically, emotional,ly or mentally to keep going then stop it. But, that's very different than
• When it doesn't work the first time that's just feedback to use to make it better the next time around. We only become an expert when we keep doing and use the feedback to do it better the next time.
• You may be switching because your brain is trying to pull you back to comfortable
