Today I’m writing about if you’re thinking about it, the answer is yes. I go back to when I was in the restaurant business many years ago, and obviously didn’t fully understand average dollar sale number of transactions. All I knew as a waiter, the more sales I rang up, the more tips I would have at the end of the shift. That was enough for me to figure a few things out, and I remember one thing I used to always do when I asked people, “Would you like another drink?” As they pondered a decision, I would simply say, “If you’re thinking about it, the answer is yes”. And 100% of the time they said “Yes, I’ll have another drink.” 100% of the time. So if you’re thinking about it, the answer is yes.
I shared last week about being decisive. The most successful people in the world are decisive. They make decisions quickly and change them very slowly, if ever at all. Unsuccessful people procrastinate. They’re indecisive, they can’t make a decision. That leads to doubt, which leads to fear, which leads to failure.
My question to you is, what are you thinking about? I’ve sat down with many executives, business owners, entrepreneurs who went through the process and said, “It’s time for me to get a coach. I’m going to do this. I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time. I can’t do it alone.” All the right phrases. However, when it comes time to decide and say yes, bam, that all the little stories show up in their head and indecisiveness takes over. So whatever decision you’re about to make or thinking about, you’re thinking about it for a reason. For any of you single folks, if there’s a certain woman or man that you want to get in touch with, you are thinking about it for a reason. If there’s a certain conversation that you know you should have with a certain individual, you are thinking about it for a reason. Is there is simply a decision you’re thinking of making, you are thinking about it for a reason.
Intuition is a very powerful energy. If we go on our intuition 100% of the time, I wager to bet we’d be right most of the time. It’s the little stories that start in our head of all the reasons why we should not, we then procrastinate and we don’t follow through.
No matter what it is, if you think it could help you get any better tomorrow than you are today, whether it’s personally or professionally, if you’re thinking about it, the answer is yes. Because what does yes stand for? You Expect Success.
