Indecision is the graveyard of good intentions

June 2, 2009 in Uncategorized

Over my 22 plus years being in the working world, one thing that I have found to be constant that seems to rear its ugly head is indecision. Many times these people are referred to as “fence sitters” and lord knows, we all know a few. As for the real estate world, the National Association of Realtors® released this video a while back to make this very point.

The issue with fence sitting is the fact that you are taking a chance of a lifetime and making it into a betting game when it comes to buying a home. Imagine having to go to your family and tell them that you lost the home of their dreams because you could not make a decision on whether or not to make an offer on the home. Then, just when you thought that the time was right to swoop down to buy their dream home, someone else already did. For me, that would be the hardest thing that I would ever have to do.

With all that said, fence sitting is not just done when it comes to home buying. There are fence sitters when it comes to buying a car, joining the gym, joining a real estate network, or even marriage. The bottom line means that some people loathe indecision whether it is concerning something small or something large. The issue is that indecision is the graveyard of good intentions as I said before. In the end, people that are indecisive tend to lose out on things that can benefit them or make them very comfortable or happy.

I leave you with this thought: What have you been indecisive about?

  1. WOW! Great article. Looks like I need to get off of a fence or two myself….

  2. Lori, I think there are fences that we all need to get off of.

  3. Opps, I’m guilty too of being a fence sitter. Time to get off the fence and go full force.

  4. Bonnie, if you are a fence sitter and you are doing this good, it would be scary to see what you can do when you are not on the fence.

  5. Excellent advice, the same as I have been espousing. With what has happened to rates the last few days, we could be seeing the end of extremely low rates, now is the time to get off the dang fence!

  6. Fred, I have been telling people that for some time now and all I get is that we are using it as a sales pitch. Well folks, the time has arrived.

  7. Hmmm….It’s not business related, but thanks for the push. The Universe is speaking to me. Now I must act.

  8. Tara, glad to help push.
