Decide and Commit in any Joint Venture
Decide and Commit in any Joint Venture
W.H. Murray, the explorer, wrote:
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”
The word, "DECIDE", is from the latin "Decidere", which means "To kill off any other alternatives".
Sitting on the fence wastes time and money, decreases confidence, diminishes one’s reputation with those Eagles who are action and result oriented and increases the chance that one will do nothing but find excuses. The window of opportunity is prone to slamming shut on the fingers of the vacillating weakling. The indecisive, wavering, faltering entrepreneur watches as others boldly overcome their fears and walk away with the prize every time. No matter how much we justify our fears, the bottom line is clear: you have to leave the shore in order to reach Treasure Island.
Winners know that they can’t wait until circumstances are perfect before making a commitment. They don’t wait until all the traffic lights along their route are green before leaving home. The best time is right now. They know that some decision, any decision, is better than no decision at all. Their enthusiasm and passion to reach their goals is greater than their trepidation. They focus on finding solutions and they believe in themselves and the value of their objectives. They make strong, firm and fast decisions. They don’t call fourteen meetings before deciding what to have for breakfast. And when they commit, as Mr. Murray tells us, things miraculously start to work out.
You can tell a lot about a person by the length of time it takes them to make a decision and a commitment. How about you? What decisions are your pondering? What are you waiting for? Are you paralyzed with fear? It takes guts to leave the ruts, but once you commit, it just gets easier.

It’s amazing what happens when you fully commit to something. Whatever that action is that shows there’s no turning back: booking the flight, resigning from a job, paying a bill, writing that letter, making a call or agreeing on a date.
