179: The Consequences Of Delaying The Right Decision

Some might say there are no failures, only learning experiences. However, accepting something as a failure is important to growth, development, and establishing a path forward.

Today's episode is about the consequences of delaying the right decision. I will talk very personally, specifically about what has happened in my business over the past year and how the consequences of delaying the right decisions cost me emotionally and financially. So today's podcast will get very real because I want to be as transparent as possible on this topic. Then I will share questions you can ask yourself to help you decide if you are delaying making the right decision right now. Finally, I will connect these lessons to the academic journey so they can be helpful to you while navigating a career in academia.

Tune in as I raise the curtain on my business, career, and how fear of failure kept me from making necessary decisions.
