EP173: Learning To Decide Quicker

Welcome back to another insightful episode of "Your Daily Real Estate Podcast" with Tristan Ahumada, where today's discussion is sponsored by his must-read book, "Real Estate Prospecting." Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, it's a blueprint for anyone serious about succeeding in real estate. Let's dive into the core topics that have been on Tristan's mind, inspired by his interactions with top entrepreneurs, both inside and outside the real estate realm.

In this episode, Tristan explores the decision-making prowess of successful entrepreneurs. There are three standout strategies they employ, which can transform how anyone approaches their business and personal growth.

Trust Your Instincts

First up, Tristan delves into the power of gut feelings. Successful entrepreneurs have a knack for trusting their instincts. Whether it’s assessing people, opportunities, or situations, they don’t second-guess their initial reactions. This isn’t about magical thinking; it’s about honing a keen sense of awareness.

Trusting your instincts is all about being in tune with your priorities. Ask yourself, “Does this opportunity align with my goals?” If it does, great! If not, don’t waste time overanalyzing. Your gut reaction can often be a quick and reliable guide, saving you from endless deliberation. This practice requires a deep understanding of what matters most to you, making it crucial to regularly reassess your goals and values.

Set Decision-Making Parameters

Next, Tristan highlights the importance of setting clear decision-making parameters. For real estate professionals, this could mean defining your niche. Are you focusing on a specific type of property or

client? Perhaps you excel in working with first-time homebuyers or luxury listings. Knowing your niche helps streamline your decisions and keeps you focused.

Tristan advises that you should think carefully about who you enjoy working with. Do you thrive with detail-oriented engineers or prefer the creative energy of artists? Defining these parameters can prevent you from getting involved in deals that drain your energy or don’t align with your strengths. Entrepreneurs excel by setting boundaries and saying no to what doesn’t fit. This selective approach ensures they stay productive and engaged with their work.

Limit Options and Avoid Overthinking

The final point is a game-changer: limiting options to avoid overthinking. Tristan emphasizes that having too many choices can be paralyzing. Instead, narrow down your options to a manageable number based on your criteria. This approach can help prevent decision fatigue and keep you moving forward.

Tristan shares a crucial insight: the importance of making decisions quickly and choosing your regrets. It's a poignant reminder that no path is free from challenges or second-guessing. The key is to make a choice, adapt as needed, and keep progressing. By practicing swift decision-making, you’ll spend less time stuck in indecision and more time learning and growing from your actions.

Resources and Influences

Tristan's advice is not just theoretical. His insights are drawn from his book "Real Estate Prospecting," a valuable resource for anyone in the industry. He also frequently interacts with a network of successful entrepreneurs, providing real-world examples of these principles in action.
