Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex.
Speaker 1 I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.
Speaker 1
I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.
Speaker 1
What's up, everybody? And welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex.
And today we're going to be diving into a skill that separates great entrepreneurs from everyone else.
Speaker 1
How to make faster, smarter decisions. Listen, in business and in life, indecision is the enemy.
If you're stuck in analysis paralysis, you're already behind.
Speaker 1
So let's go ahead and talk about how to break free and start making moves. First, define the outcome that you want in life.
Most people get stuck because they don't know where they're headed, guys.
Speaker 1 When I transitioned from working 80 hours a week in law enforcement to building multiple businesses to become financially free, I didn't have time to second guess every choice.
Speaker 1
I got clear on my goals, freedom, financial independence, and lastly, impact. When you know what you're aiming for, decisions become a lot easier.
Second, embrace the 80-20 rule.
Speaker 1 Not every decision needs to be perfect. Focus on the 20% of choices that drives 80% of your results.
Speaker 1
When I was scaling my businesses, I put priority to what mattered the most, building systems and finding the right team. The small stuff that doesn't matter, it could wait.
Speed matters.
Speaker 1
A good decision made quickly beats perfect decision made too late. And lastly, you got to trust your instincts, guys, your gut feeling.
Look, you're going to mess up sometimes.
Speaker 1
That's part of the process. But the more you trust yourself and take action, the sharper your decision making becomes.
Every mistake is a lesson that makes you stronger.
Speaker 1 Action breeds clarity and clarity leads to smarter decisions over time. So what's the bottom line, guys? Faster, smarter decisions come from clarity, focus, and action.
Speaker 1
You got to put priority to what matters and trust yourself to figure out the rest. Don't overthink, just execute.
Guys, thanks for tuning in to Love All Podcast.
