The 5 Steps to Making the Right Decision Powerful Business Ideas - Week 1 In today's podcast to discuss the powerful business ideas, we're going to discuss five steps to making the right decisions and the reason I have chosen this subject is because often in business or in professional or personal life, we have decisions to make. It's not always right, it's not always wrong; we just don't know. Interestingly enough, there is nothing more challenging in life and nothing more detrimental to anyone than being at a fork in the road and not knowing which way to go. At least if you go right and you make a mistake or if you go left and you make a mistake, you're moving, you're not stagnating. You're going somewhere, but being stuck at a fork in the road and not knowing which way should I go? What should I do? How should I react? What will be my next move? That's a very, very difficult situation to be in. So in making the right decision, there are three different levels, if you think about this. One is personal, professional, and spiritual. In the personal, you have to have a vision. You have to have a vision of what you want to do, where you want to get to, and the person and the character, and development that you're trying to reach. From a professional standpoint what you're looking for is goals. What goals can I achieve and what can I do in my professional life to become the person that I want to become? And from a spiritual standpoint, it's about the dream reality of what you're trying to reach, irrespective of the religion that you follow or even if you're an atheist, it's irrelevant. You're always looking at a dream that you're trying to follow to better yourself from a personal standpoint. So let me just say that in order to have the proper perspective and setting up steps in making the right decision and making the decision in the way where you will benefit, what is important first is to master the fundamentals in life, and there are not many fundamentals at all. There are not many. There are just a few that make a difference and these will shape what you do, where you go, what you think, what you have, who you become, all that. Here's the first one that you have to understand and that is that everything that you need in your life is within your reach. You need to understand that, you need to realize it and you need to believe it. Everything that you need in your life is within your reach. There are no obstacles. There may be challenges. There may be opportunities that may seem difficult, but these obstacles are a vision in the future that you don't need to control, and if you are committed to your future, you can commit to your vision of who you want to be. It is a given principle that the creator of this world has given each and every human being all the powers that they need to do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission and you can overcome all challenges, and the choices are part of life's growth. Now, there are fundamental truths about life that you have to understand, that you have to agree with, that you have to realize, but there are no new fundamentals for human achievements. It's interesting, I once heard someone say that they have new antiques for sale. Well, that's an oxymoron, antiques cannot be new. If they are antique, they are the old type of furniture which basically has weathered through years of time and that's what is there now. You don't create or manufacture antiques. It's impossible. It develops over a period of time. And there can never be a single ultimate answer to life's processes because there will never be a single ultimate question. So think about that for a moment. Since there are no new fundamentals, all the basics have been given in this world and everything has already been established, prepared, laid, and certainly put in front of you to learn on how to manage your life
