I've been dealing with this issue for at least the last 6 years. Not every aspect of my life is like that, but many of them, some trivial and some important. Fortunately I have yet to regret one of my decisions. I have most difficulty with the first part of, prior to making that final decision. I think I'll trust this "gut" instinct more often, it usually feeds me well. Thanks! This post is spot-on! I’ve been dealing with this issue for at least the last 6 years.

So many would be successful people (myself included!) continuously postpone success because we're afraid to make choices. I had an old boss years ago that taught me..."The wrong decision is better than no decision at all!" I have found that there comes a time when we simply need to trust our experience, judgment, and gut and just go for it. Hey Paul

I like how he advocates "Multiple-Retirements" where you work - retire - work - retire - work - retire etc. It just makes sense. Hmm.... which makes me think.... maybe I need to mini-retire! Maybe next month. :) @Elijah: The part I really liked in the book is the whole concept of forgetting about the “Retire at 65″ BS.

For example, I wanted to see just how "cheap" you could get programmers in India to do your development work so I actually called India and spoke to a few firms that do that kind of stuff. I was actually surprised to find out that I can hire programmers locally here in Vancouver, BC at the same rates! For me, his book just seemed to oversimplify the whole concept of "delegating" and "outsourcing" to people in other countries. As a former business owner of a multi-million dollar company I know it's hard enough to delegate to people sitting in the room next door to you. I am sure it's possible to delegate to someone on the other side of the planet with careful planning, but I don't think he explained it in enough detail. When I read his book, it made me think that I could delegate all of my work to some dude in India for 10 cents per hour while I go sit on the beach. That's just not true. :) I dunno...maybe I need to re-read it again. @Elijah: Yup, the book was good, but there were parts where I felt he was oversimplifying certain things.

The chapter on mobility really hit home with me as that is the single most appealing aspect to working from home - the ability to work anywhere.

It is totally true. The other thing that makes that quote great is that once you become a decision make you will quickly realize that no matter which decision you make, someone is always going to be unhappy with it. It really doesn't matter what you decide, someone always will complain. So trying to make sure everyone is happy before making a decision is insanity. Anyone who's ever ran a business or even planned a wedding will know what I mean. :) @Elijah: Personally I wasn’t a big fan of the 4 Hour Workweek Book, but I do like that quote. It is totally true.

I might go and get myself a copy of The 4 Hour Work Week, I've seen it recommended so many times. @ Evan – you’re welcome :-)
