It’s not possible to have all the answers. But you can train yourself to make decisions with confidence and solve problems in any environment.

Here’s a simple 4-step agile formula that works:

1. Decide
2. Act
3. Evaluate
4. Iterate

This is exactly how all successful people make decisions and solve problems.

The business landscape is changing so fast that leaders who are action-oriented and embrace an agile problem-solving approach have the clear advantage.

Key benefits:

– Decision-making is faster and more efficient.
– Smaller, iterative decisions reduce overall risk.
– Constant feedback allows for real-time adjustments.
– Continuous learning enhances problem-solving skills.
– Solutions rapidly evolve in response to changing conditions.

If you hear yourself thinking, “I don’t know how,” don’t listen.

That thought is the enemy of progress. It reduces self-confidence and decreases your ability to innovate.

No one knows exactly how to do something the first time they do it. The key is to start.

Believe in yourself. Believe in your ability to figure things out. Replace “I don’t know how” with “I’m figuring it out.”

Use this mindset shift to remind yourself that you are in the solution state.
