Recently, Bill and I tossed a 50-cent piece to make a decision that could cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars.

He and I had been talking about a crazy idea I had to give away Teslas, Four Seasons getaways, Harley Davidsons, and cold hard cash to ambassadors of our brand who bring us clients.

But after we had discussed all the pros and cons, we reached an impasse in our conversation.

We didn’t have all the information we needed to make a decision.

Yet we still decided to take action on what we knew – which was not much more than the fact that implementing our decision could help us or harm us.

So we decided to flip a 50-cent piece.

Heads, we’d go for it.

Tails, our Ambassador Program would go in the “unused idea box.”

The coin came up heads.

Fifty cents is all it cost us to make a decision that could cost us as much as a million dollars.

We were laughing about it the whole time – and we’ve been laughing ever since as we’ve been putting the program in place.

Sometimes, if you don’t take action on an idea it will fester and eat you from inside. Indecisive leadership isn’t leadership at all – if you’re truly stuck on whether or not to move forward with an idea, you could do worse than flip a coin and decide to let the results guide your actions.

We talk more about our decision – and what that decision has led to – in this episode. If you ever feel caught in the grip of “analysis paralysis,” or even if you consider yourself pretty good at making decisions, this episode is for you.
