Solopreneurs, Use This Method to Make Every Decision a Great Decision

May 28th, 2010 by Larry Keltto | Posted in Decision Making, Featured

Marketing brilliance? Maybe.

A gift for sales? Every small business needs it!

Financial prowess? Very helpful.

Production efficiency? An absolute necessity for a solo business.

A Spartan work ethic? You can’t be a solopreneur without one.

All of those skills are integral to solopreneurial success, but I say great decision-making trumps everything.

Successful multi-person organizations typically have processes in place for making decisions. Most decisions draw on the talents of many individuals, and each person brings a unique perspective to the discussion.
