How to Make Great Business Decisions by Thinking Fast and Slow

Have you ever wondered what separates high achievers from the rest of us? A recent study by Stanford University found that 90% of high performers attribute their success to a strong work ethic and a goal-oriented mindset rather than raw talent or luck.   While those things can play a role, the real key to their success lies in their mindset and habits – things the rest of us can absolutely learn from.  So, let’s explore nine concepts high achievers apply in their life and how you can apply them in your life. High Achievers are Made, Not BornThe most important thing to remember is that success isn't an accident. While talent plays a role, real Trailblazers are driven by consistent action and mindset shifts.  They prioritize progress over perfection. So, the next time you feel that internal criticism rise up, remember that go-getters have those thoughts, too, and they choose to act in spite of them. Embracing the psychology of a go-getter doesn't guarantee overnight success. However, it does equip you with the tools to consistently move towards your goals, embrace the journey, and build a more fulfilling life.  Remember, it's not about becoming someone else, it’s about being the best version of yourself. Are you ready to take your business to the next level?

Sarah was tired. Not just regular tired, but the bone-deep exhaustion that gnawed at her focus. She juggled a demanding startup, two kids, and a nagging sense that her to-do list grew faster than she could check things off. It was like running a marathon where the finish line kept vanishing into the distance. One afternoon, during a frenzied attempt to find an important email buried in an inbox avalanche, she stumbled upon an interview with a tech CEO famous for her laser-sharp productivity.  The CEO didn't talk about crazy tricks or endless all-nighters. She spoke of small, consistent habits that gave her the mental space to tackle major challenges. Sarah thought, "If it works for her, maybe it could help me too." Does Sarah's overwhelm sound familiar to you at all?  We all want to feel on top of our game, not just surviving, but truly thriving in our careers and personal lives.  However, sometimes it feels like there simply aren't enough hours in the day.
