Are you the decision maker in your business?

If you are and your business is not going to plan its probably your fault.

If your business is going well its more than likely you or the decision maker are making the right decisions.

I have been in the web business for around 5 years working for myself, with partners and as a consultant.

The successes and failures we make were down to nothing but good or bad decisions.

My worst failure was investing money into a business where i wasn’t going to be the decision maker.
The decision maker was and is still incompetent so i may as well have thrown that money in the fire.

The recession is helping businesses fail and people are struggling pretty much worldwide but i don’t believe its the recession but more the recession was the tipping point.
If a business was a success before the recession and they are failing now its because the decisions or lack of decisions in a good economic climate had less positive or negative impact now the climate is cold and harder.

The decision you made today to read reddit, digg, slashdot or your chosen time killer may have cost you big.
If you had made the decision not to waste an hour or several in some cases on those sites and taken care of something that you decided to put off till later you could have been in a better financial position.

What decisions have you made today to help your business?

Did you check your 404 logs of your sites to see if you are missing any potential traffic?

Did you decide the best way to help your business was to read loads of regurgitated rubbish on peoples blogs?*
Obviously if you are reading my garbage blog you took that decision
Did you take some massive action and do something that will create massive results?

Did you sit whining that you haven’t got a coder to help you or a designer to make your sites look nice?

If you work for a company.

Did your bosses make a decision that made you screw your face up like you just smelt the worst fart ever?
And then did you plan what you are going to do when you get home from work to make a positive change on your business and life?

I made the decision to blog because i have more time now and i feel like i have some business and web building experience i can share.

I made the decision to take a one hour break on the beach to clear my head and think about the next move i can take for massive action.

Today was the day i decided to start sending newsletters to some mailing lists i have been building.

Hopefully that decision will help some of the recipients make positive decisions to make more money or get whatever they want out of life.

I always remember that it was Zig Ziglar who said “If you help enough other people get what they want, you’ll get what you want.”
