Practically Free Webinar-How To Make Better Decisions
Monday, 6/10/2013 Online
Most people don’t really discern and weigh both the consequences and/or benefits of their decisions. Quite frequently, we buzz through our lives totally unaware of the thoughts we are thinking and the actions we are taking. Do you realize every single decision we make shapes our current situation? It forms who we are, because many times we follow through on decisions we make and we are not even aware we are doing it.
In this session, Tony helps you to begin to realize what a decision does. A decision causes a chain of events to occur. This is how we form habits. One decision leads to another, then another, then another and before long, we are on auto-pilot, not even making a conscious decision, but rather operating in default mode
You will learn:
- The real power of your decisions
- 4 steps in the decision making process
- How going public with your decision empowers you
