Separating the wheat from the chaff
Have you ever found yourself in a situation whereby you can't quite decide what to do in order to accomplish your goals?

If you don't already have a goal, that is, a desired outcome in mind, the suggestions you get from people may end up derailing your plan completely and you may find yourself where you didn't want to be. As many of us may have found out, this could be very costly and also have the potential of causing irreparable damage.
How to separate the wheat
- Have a clearly defined goal
- Be resolute about your desired outcome
- Do your due diligence or research, if you will, about the possibilities
- Know what you will not consider (those things against your values)
- Ask relevant and probing questions
- Be open minded
- Don’t be hasty in making decisions
- Know who is giving the advice (if they have an ulterior motive)
I’m sure you can think of many more factors to add to this list. Please feel free to share your experience with us.
