Nurse: Shall I pull the buzzer doctor?
It's just the two of us in a room with an unconscious patient
I have a split second to decide if everything's under control, or if I need help
The oxygen levels are dropping
My stomach sinks
The alarms are blaring, my heart starts beating a bit faster
If the buzzer sounds,
20 people come running in and it might be nothing..
Embarrassing
If the buzzer doesn’t go
I’m left alone to handle the patient in front of me
Do I have this or not?
Potential difference between life and death.
I do this every day.
Make decisions in fractions of seconds which could have dire consequences
This skill is probably the most underrated in my job & has helped me to excel in business, personal finance and investing
HOW?
80% of people admit they hesitate when making important decisions, which directly impacts their success
The scariest part?
Many don't even realise they're doing it.
Decision making is a superpower
Why are you indecisive?
⌥ Having too many choices
😱 Fear of being wrong
ℹ️ Lack of information
🫂 Fear of commitment
🫱🏻🫲🏼 Lack of confidence
We are wired to choose safety, but you can't pull the buzzer everyday, aside from the fact people will stop coming..
It's just not practical
So how do we ensure we make good decisions?
Decision Making Pitfalls
Overcomplicating things
Letting fear cloud your judgment.
Focusing too much on the outcome
Sound familiar?
Here's the thing
Indecision is the real mistake, and it's more harmful than making the "wrong" choice
When you hesitate, you’re essentially making the choice to stay stuck
Imagine me, not responding when asked about the buzzer..
No help comes, in addition I’m still focused on the decision rather than the patient - LOSE : LOSE situation

The average human makes 35,000 decisions every single day
If you are a Doctor add critical decisions to the mix
