No Decision IS a Decision
September 10th, 2023
by Bill Boyajian

Fear is debilitating and paralyzing.  It’s the reason why we can’t make a decision.  It’s the avoidance principle.  If we simply disregard the problem, maybe it will go away.  It seldom does and usually gets bigger.

What about new ideas or changes you know you need to make?  Again, we procrastinate, believing that if we let time pass to let things ruminate, it will serve us well.  Again, it seldom does.

There’s nothing wrong with doing your homework.  Any big project, problem, process, or even person deserves adequate research.  But after you’ve completed your review, a decision should be made.  No decision on the change or idea or process or person is still a decision.  It’s a decision to do nothing and that’s what you usually get.

If we aligned our thinking to understand that no decision is a decision, it would change the way we lead and manage.  It would change the way we deal with daily frustrations and problems.  It could change the way we deal with people who get under our skin or fail to perform.

NO DECISION IS A DECISION.  Do your homework and make the decision!

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
