Five Things That Hold You Back from Making a Decision

Decision-making can feel overwhelming, especially when the stakes are high. But at its core, the ability to make decisions is what moves us forward. In Episode 2 of *It Starts with Clarity* podcast, we explored the five most common things that hold us back from making decisions—and how to overcome them.

1. Fear of Making the Wrong Choice
Fear can paralyze us. The key is understanding that no decision is final—you’re always adjusting as you go.

2. Overthinking
Analysis is useful until it turns into paralysis. Learn to trust your framework and move forward.

3. Outside Opinions
While input from trusted voices can help, clarity comes when you make decisions aligned with your own values.

4. Doubt
Confidence grows through action. The more decisions you make, the more capable you feel.

5. Perfectionism
Waiting for the “perfect” choice often means no choice at all. Action will always beat inaction.

Moving Past the Barriers
Recognizing these patterns is the first step to overcoming them. With a clear framework, you can quiet the noise, simplify your choices, and act decisively.

At Pivot Point Me, we guide individuals to make decisions that move them closer to their goals—with confidence and clarity.
