The Most Expensive Business Habit: Taking Too Long to Decide

In Growth Notes, Frazier explains that one of the most expensive business habits is taking too long to decide, emphasizing that speed matters and prolonged thinking stalls progress. He notes that indecision leads to missed opportunities and stalled relationships because markets and time don’t stop, and someone else will take the spot while you hesitate. Since most business decisions can’t be made with perfect information, Frazier urges making the best decision possible with what you know today, then moving and adjusting based on feedback and data gained from action. He warns that delaying spreads into other areas, slowing the entire business, and that people underestimate the risk of doing nothing. He advises choosing a pending change, identifying what information is truly needed, setting deadlines and constraints, deciding, learning, and continuing to move.
