Howdy.

Here’s a Public service announcement:

Do you have mostly level-headed friends who always seem to make dumb-ass decisions?

Are — ahem — YOU one of these miscreants yourself? (Confession: I sure am. More often than I care to admit.)

Well, gather around.

I believe I’ve stumbled upon a solution.

Here it is: When you have an important decision to make…

… just ask yourself this simple question: “What would a smart person do?”

Then, go do that.

Do NOT (as so many of us somehow seem to do) ask “What would a blithering idiot do?”…

… and then go do that.

No, no, no.

This is your self-intervention moment.

Don’t be the blithering idiot.

Do be a smart person.

Saying that there is also one thing you’ve to avoid.

Don’t go to people to make a decision for you.

It’s not bad to look for advice from so-called more experienced people.

But…. sometimes you’ve to just step up and GO FOR IT.

Who knows the next step is something you’ve been waiting for all your life..!!

Sounds too simple and obvious to work, doesn’t it?

Stunningly, it works.

Pass it around.

Stay dope,

Ruchi

P.S. One of the keys to good decision-making has always been knowing how things actually work in the real world of biz…

… and not trying to get by on the wimpy, delusion-filled nonsense most civilians think is how things get done.
