Hello [FIRSTNAME],
What an Amazing month it's been. NAPO's 21st Organizing Conference in Florida, USA was truely wonderful - and I've come home armed with loads of new ideas, techniques, products and stories!!
Check out a summary of my trip here.
One thing I learnt more about whilst away was decision making. If you've ever hailed a cab in New York city, you'll know what I mean......You need to be fast, ready to jump in and you better close that door quick smart too! Don't get me wrong, I loved the cabs and their drivers. They always got me to my destination. But I have to admit to missing a few, due to indecisiveness and slowness to act (hard to believe for those who know me, but I'm telling you - New York is FAST!)
No time to ponder on the side walk, be half-hearted, or try to convince the cabbie to wait 30 seconds while your friend comes out of the restuarant! It struck me that catching a cab in NYC is a lot like life in general: a quick decision leads to a smoother ride.
My experience with New York cabs highlighted to me (once again!) how important it is to act on an opportunity as it presents itself. Decision. Action. No looking back. Powerful stuff.
And remember, excessive clutter is often the result of delayed decisions.
How are your decision-making skills?
One person who's made a lot of decisions lately is the April winner of the Awesome Organising Package, Margaret from Cairns. Congratulations are in order! Well done Margaret. Read about our day together here.
Do you find it hard to make decisions on your own? Especially in your own business? Often we can get stuck, without a team to provide creative stimulation, brainstorm, gain feedback, not to mention drink coffee with! Do you experience professional isolation ?? I certainly have my fair share to say about the issue - and I'd love to know what you think. Is it an issue for you? How does it affect your business or workload? What do you do about it? Let me know here.
Yours in Organisation,
Roz
