In Business, we all make informed decisions every day, whether to expand or even to close our Business and everything relating to it in between.
But what criteria do we use to make the best and right decision for us as individuals and everyone connected with our decision?
This is not an easy task when a panic situation is all around, making it even more important to stand still and think and not panic unless the boat is sinking and your feet are wet.
Informed decisions mean it must feel right with you; any doubts are warning signs that all is not as it seems, and usually, something unscrupulous is in play.
If that is the case, you should delay any decision until you have done enough research with an open mind to listen to all the arguments on all sides.
Here are some simple questions that I have used to make informed decisions:
- 1. Identify the problem? Is it real? In the case of a story of excess deaths, just ask lots of independent undertakers if the story is true.
- 2. Would I trust a person to look after all my money if they told me that I am inconsiderate to others in not wearing a face nappy even after telling me that they are useless? But It gives strangers peace of mind?
- 3. Brainstorm alternatives with a cost v benefit analysis.
- 4. Weigh the alternatives, like, if I am healthy and have a 99.7% survival, carry on; if not, I must stop eating pig food.
- 5. Take your pick, and consent to a life of fear or freedom.
Unfortunately, I believe everything has gone very smoothly for the big plan over the last couple of years, but did they go too far trying to educate some people with some far-fetched, ridiculous rules?
I believe that by not educating people on informed consent, they pushed some into studying history, resulting in many being right to go against the crowd.
