PP044 Our Yes’s and No

Written By Chad Brooks

How do you handle decision-making? Just that process alone is something you don’t learn in seminary. And the last few years many people have made more decisions than they will for the rest of their life. I’ve been thinking about decisions, especially the things I end up saying yes and no to.

This episode is about developing an understanding of your yes’s and no’s AND I want to share a framework that can help clarify decisions and strategic plans.

Motivations

One of the places we have to explore is why or how we might feel motivated to say yes or no. There will be good motivations and bad motivations.

Hagakure, the most famous collection of samurai wisdom, instructs: “The extent of one’s courage or cowardice cannot be measured in ordinary times. All is revealed when something happens.” - Ben Horowitz

Even though we might sometime struggle with touch decisions or seasons, our decisions can still be fruitful.

Tangible and Tactical

These two questions help us understand what it will take to say yes. They focus on refining ideas into actionable processes.
