If there was one thing that I learned about having to be patient when.
I didn't want to be.
Patient, it's.
That every time.
I was challenged to.
Slow down.
And write, I was definitely.
More clear with the decisions I was making, and I was able to be very decisive when I needed to be. I definitely.
Didn'T wait too long.
I think I learned.
That lesson early on by.
Holding onto the wrong people on my team too long because I.
Had invested so much in them and.
Didn'T want to cut.
Them loose for that feeling of loss, aversion. But, you know, the.
Answer is always the right person.
So when you make a change, you.
Don'T want to be.
You don't want to be seen as the type of leader that people are wondering what took you so long.
So being able to.
Make decisions and.
Be timely.
About it is a hard.
Thing to do when you don't have a builder and when you don't have someone to talk it through, when you don't have someone to give you feedback on what you're writing.
But if you're not even doing the.
Writing and slowing.
Down, then you're just basically making decisions when you're in an emotional state.
That you probably should not.
Be making big decisions. So at least that's what I've learned. So go ahead and write about what you think about that.
