Dear Helen,

I’ve got a big decision to make about working with someone and I feel torn. I want to say yes but I keep second guessing myself. It’s a significant financial commitment and I’m going in circles thinking, “Am I being selfish to spend this much money on my business? What if this isn’t the right program? What if I don’t get results? What if I’m not ready?”

-What If I’m Wrong?

Dear What If,

Inspired or impulsive? It really comes down to trusting yourself (and the Universe). You can sharpen that ability to trust with some simple “wellbeing checks.”

To assist in clarity around the decision, ask yourself these questions:

• Do I see any downsides to saying yes?
• What outcome(s) will saying yes make possible?
• Under what conditions would I NOT want to say yes?
• Who else will be impacted by my decision? (Look at the situation from their perspective and see what information you get.)
• Is there any part of me that objects to saying yes? (Do a body sensation check. If so, ask that part what its objection is.)

There’s so much financial anxiety going around these days, it can be contagious. But money isn’t always the best (or the only) criteria to use if you want to make powerful, productive, profitable decisions for yourself and your business.
