Today I felt some of us needed this more than any strategy, tool, or tip.
Sometimes, what truly shifts our day isn’t another productivity hack ...
it’s a shift in BELIEF.
Notice how it changes
✨ the way you show up,
✨ the way you connect, and
✨ the way opportunities find you.
Comment here if you notice any changes and I will send you a gift!

Delegating decision-making is like delegating your WORKOUT...
you're never going to see the results for yourself.
Decision-making is like taking your BRAIN to the GYM. 🧠
Initially, your muscles fail, but the more pain you endure, the better the results.
When you push your muscles a bit harder than the previous time, they ache and break, which is a sign of growth.
The same applies to decision-making.
The mistakes you make indicate that you've stepped out of your comfort zone and stepped into unknown territory, paving the way for new experiences and achievements.
⁉️No matter your age, be it 5, 15, 25, or 45, you'll go through the process of building this muscle through failure and mistakes.
We might think we're protecting our kids by making decisions for them because we "know better" or are "more experienced."
However, this approach robs them of the power to make their own decisions and the pride and sense of achievement that come with it.
Plus, it postpones the muscle building process for later on in life, where making non-aligned decisions is more costly both EMOTIONALLY and FINANCIALLY.
If you want to train your students' decision-making muscles before it's too late and avoid the more painful consequences of wrong decisions later, there's a simple process that can guide them on this empowering journey:
🎈Identify the Challenge
🎈Guide Their Research
🎈Connect to Their Values
🎈Analyse Potential Outcomes
🎈Encourage Feedback and Reflection
🎈Help Them Make the Decision
🎈Repeat the Process
This pathway
→ empowers your students to become confident decision-makers
→ equips them to handle life's challenges independently.
Are you going to try it?
