What NOT to Look at When Making Decisions

If you’re feeling aroused, well, you probably want to wait before you make any important financial decisions.

In a recent study Canadian male undergraduates were given one of two images to look at – either a Victoria’s Secret model or a neutral object, a rock – and then asked to make a financial decision, the guys who’d been looking at the Victoria’s Secret model made significantly worse financial decisions than those who’d been looking at a rock.

What makes us human is our irrationality – and that the choices we make are influenced by a whole host of factors that have nothing to do with the decision at hand.

"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things."

- Peter Drucker

"Customers buy from us based on simple self-interest, because of product features and benefits, guarantees, salesmanship, etc., but they BOND with us based on our own emotional disclosure and demonstration of character, values, philosophy, and humanity that they respect and identify with.

This is the difference between making a living from transactions, and creating equity by relationship."

– Dan Kennedy

"If it's a practical problem, there will always be a practical solution.

It might just take some time to frame the problem and come up with a viable solution.

Great ideas meet great resistance, but that's the thing about perseverance: you don't stop.

Getting something right takes time – weeks, months, even years – but we all must persevere."

– James Dyson, Inventor of the Dyson vacuum
