Ever Better Today:
Season 2 Episode 82
Insight Follows Action
Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!
Notes from this episode are below.
When you're considering a significant decision, take the smallest possible action first.
Your insights will follow your actions.
Don't be pressured by other people's timelines. Take the time to learn about yourself and the situation before making your final decision.
Here are some examples of major decisions that should only be made after taking small actions to gain significant insight.
Leaving a full-time job
Getting divorced
Starting a business
Here are actions you can take:
Carefully consider your situation. Journal and reflect on the pros and cons.
Seek insights by consulting with people who have dealt with similar situations. They might be friends, family members, coaches, employees, lawyers, investigators, or therapists.
Study and learn more about the topic related to the decision you are considering. Perhaps take classes again at a community college or a free online course through Coursera.
Be gentle with yourself because if you're talking about a major decision like leaving a full-time job, starting a new business, getting divorced, or getting into a new relationship, only you can decide when you have enough information. Move at your own pace.
