How to make wise decisions.

Several times I have been asked – “Larry, what do I need to do to make wise decisions?”

Many times in life we find ourselves at the point where we need to make a decision. It can range from a business decision to a relationship decision. Many times our judgment can be clouded by our emotions, or we might even find ourselves trying to make a decision we are not qualified to make. And we try to make the right decisions, but we just don’t bother to ask anyone for advice, or if we do we ask the wrong people.

Over the years, the worst decisions I have ever made, were those that I never asked for help on. Many of those decisions have cost me personally as well as the company’s hard earned monies. All because of pride, or because I knew what others would think – and I knew I wouldn’t want to hear what they may say. So how do we make wise decisions?

Here are a few tips to making wise decisions:

• Choose someone to ask advice of who has nothing to lose by telling you the truth.
• Choose someone who is where you want to be in life.
• If possible, ask more than one person.
• Choose someone you know and someone you don’t know.
• Go into the conversation ready to listen.
• And then ask the question- “What do you think the wise thing to do is?”

You see, at the end of the day, none of us is as smart as all of us. So seek answers, seek opinions. Make sure those you ask meet the criteria above, and listen. The larger your decision, the more people you need to involve in your decision.

So let me ask you-  “Did you ask anyone about this?”
