The best decision
|
The best decision That's what you aim for: The best decision... within what you have. Will it be THE best decision ever? Fuck no. It'll be the decision that lets you move. And steer in the way. And how you get to make big, bold decisions that don't harm you? Starting with small ones. Against the common conception of "Quality beats quantity", this (as in writing) has to do more with quantity over quality. At the right scale. Small decisions let you practice, learn, refine, correct. So that when you reach the point to do a big one, it comes easier. BTW, you don't learn how to decide. That's innate. It's part of being human. You have the agency to do that. You develop how to decide better. That comes with practice. |

Is it bad to keep the same price for 10 years? Or is it good to keep the same price for 10 years? Same. No incremental raises, no inflation, no higher-costs compensation, nothing additional.
Knowing how to do their thing is what differentiates experts from non-experts. Now, it's not only knowing how to. Having this in the back of your head makes it visible, BUT only when it's in action and you're not in action 24/7. There's a way, though: with your how-to structured and articulated. How do your customers have access to your knowing how to when they look for someone like you?
