Making Grand Slam Decisions

How to make good decisions!

Do I have a choice?” Know the difference – is it a fact of life? If it’s a fact, don’t address it. Is there a choice? I ask myself – What are my options? Do I know all the options? Tell me what you are not going to choose. Options help us create solutions. Without options, there is only one decision. Options are a result of thinking early, often and differently. Never dive into decisions.

Q1 Give me the good bad, pretty, ugly, possible, impossible, convenient, inconvenient. When I have all the options, then I will make a decision. Come to me with 3 possible solutions.

Q2 - Is this mutually beneficial? Does this add value to others?
