Accurate analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had experienced failure, disclosed the fact that lack of decision was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of failure. This is no mere statement of a theory – it is a fact.
Procrastination, the opposite of decision, is a common enemy which practically every man must conquer.
You will have an opportunity to test your capacity to reach quick and definite decisions when you finish reading this lesson, and are ready to begin putting into action the principles which it describes.
Analysis of several hundred people who had accumulated fortunes well beyond the million dollar mark, disclosed the fact that every one of them had the habit of reaching decisions promptly, and of changing these decisions slowly, if, and when they were changed. People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, have the habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly, and of changing these decisions quickly and often.
The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are, generally, easily influenced by the “opinions” of others. They permit the newspapers and the “gossiping” neighbors to do their “thinking” for them. “Opinions” are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by “opinions” when you reach decisions, you will not succeed in any undertaking, much less in that of transmuting your own desire into money.
If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no desire of your own.

I made a decision today.
A decision to get clear about what I want. Upon looking back at my last 20 years of relationship I saw that there was pattern of allowing the male to lead. These men were not leaders in anyway. I trusted and loved them but I was not even their reason why for great change. I now have decided to take my power back and have a say in where I am going. I trust that by taking this position that I will meet my equal. I can’t get it wrong even if I don’t meet with him as I won’t lead myself up the garden path but honour and respect for myself where I truely am in the best of hands and looking after
me.
Good to hear about your decision. Good to see that you are learning from your mistakes

As a life coach do you have a healthy portfolio of relationships, money and other stuff?
I’m asking because I am inquisitive in knowing why i would come to you?
Why would you recommend that I use your coaching?
Excuse my skepticism!

A Life Coach is there to assist you to reach your goals and reach your full potential. It is not about anyone else but YOU. They are there for you.
Interestingly enough, as a Life Coach works with others it does bring more clarity into their own life.
