330: Make Decisions You Trust And Stop Second Guessing Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed
Do you ever find yourself stuck in a decision loop? Be honest here, how often do you find yourself in a situation like this? You’ve got a choice to make. Maybe it’s about your career, your business, or even something that should feel small, like which project to prioritize today. Instead of feeling confident, you start to spiral into thoughts like, "What if I make the wrong decision?" "What if this comes back to haunt me later?" or "What if I regret the decision I make?" Or maybe you do make the decision…but then you spend the next three days (or three weeks) second-guessing yourself. Does this sound familiar? I see many of the accountants, business owners, executives, and high-achievers that I work with inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process tell me decision-making is one of their most significant stress points. Because when you hesitate, or overthink, or wait too long, you start to feel stuck. And nothing drains your energy faster than feeling stuck. So today, let’s talk about how to stop second-guessing, start trusting yourself again, and actually enjoy the decisions you make. Let’s dive in…

Hey there, I’m Chris Panek, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Coach, and the host of the Mastering Your Small Business Finances Podcast, and I want to welcome you to this new series I’m doing on this podcast. My intention is to drop one of these additional episodes every Monday while I continue to provide you with the regular Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast episodes, which will continue to help you take control of and understand your business finances with topics that ultimately impact your bottom line. I have many business owners, accountants, and other high-stress professionals who listen to this podcast, and I want to get more help out there for individuals like you when it comes to mastering your mindset. I’ll be taking a few moments each week to touch on topics that many high-stress professionals are dealing with and provide solutions to help you increase your overall well-being. Because I know your time is valuable, just like the Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast, my goal is to keep these episodes short and straight to the point but full of useful information to help you succeed in not only your professional life but your personal life as well.
Do you ever find yourself stuck in a decision loop? Be honest here, how often do you find yourself in a situation like this? You’ve got a choice to make. Maybe it’s about your career, your business, or even something that should feel small, like which project to prioritize today. Instead of feeling confident, you start to spiral into thoughts like, "What if I make the wrong decision?" "What if this comes back to haunt me later?" or "What if I regret the decision I make?" Or maybe you do make the decision…but then you spend the next three days (or three weeks) second-guessing yourself. Does this sound familiar? I see many of the accountants, business owners, executives, and high-achievers that I work with inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process tell me decision-making is one of their most significant stress points. Because when you hesitate, or overthink, or wait too long, you start to feel stuck. And nothing drains your energy faster than feeling stuck. So today, let’s talk about how to stop second-guessing, start trusting yourself again, and actually enjoy the decisions you make. Let’s dive in…
Let’s start with why we struggle with making decisions. Here’s something fascinating. Did you know that indecision is still a decision? When you don’t choose, you’re choosing to stay in the same place. You’re choosing to delay your growth. You’re choosing the discomfort of spinning in circles instead of the discomfort of moving forward. And I get it. Our brains love certainty. It tells you: If I don’t decide, I can’t make the wrong choice. But here’s the catch: not deciding feels terrible. It creates that heavy, stuck energy. Let me give you an example. Let’s say you were offered a leadership position at your firm. It’s an amazing opportunity. Higher pay, more influence, a bigger platform for your ideas. But instead of saying yes or no, you stay in limbo. For days, or even weeks. You keep replaying the “what if scenarios.” What if you say yes and fail? What if you say no and regret it? And because you don’t decide, you spend three weeks distracted, anxious, and completely unable to focus on the work in front of you. You’re so afraid of making the “wrong” choice that you rob yourself of feeling peace in the present. This is what indecision does to us.
