Picture this: you’re facing a tough day in your e-commerce business, and the weight of numerous decisions is pressing down on you like a heavy burden. We’ve all been there. Maybe you’ve even thought, “I want to bash my head against the wall” in sheer frustration. Running an online product-based business can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. The daily grind of making crucial decisions can leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. In this article, we’ll introduce you to a game-changing concept that will transform the way you make decisions in your e-commerce journey.

The brain behind this brilliant solution is Krista Williamson, e-commerce business coach extraordinaire. Krista specializes in coaching store owners just like you, helping them navigate the often tricky waters of decision-making.

The Power of Decision-Making
Decision-making is such a crucial aspect of your e-commerce journey. As an e-commerce entrepreneur, you’re the captain of your ship. Every decision you make, whether big or small, has a ripple effect throughout your business. It affects your time, your finances, your operations—everything!

Now, think about a typical day in your business. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed, spinning your wheels, or procrastinating on important decisions? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Many entrepreneurs face these challenges, and it all boils down to…

The Hidden Culprit: Decision Debt
It’s not just the decisions you make; it’s also the decisions you don’t make that can lead to chaos in your business. Krista often refers to this phenomenon as “decision debt.” It’s like a stack of unpaid bills, only in the form of unresolved decisions, piling up in the corner of your mind.

These unresolved decisions can make you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and even paralyzed. It’s that feeling of “spinning” or “stacking” decisions that leads to frustration and drains your energy.

Fear Factor
Let’s talk about why we often find ourselves in this predicament–FEAR. Fear of making the wrong decision, fear of not having enough information, and fear of the unknown can paralyze us. It’s that nagging feeling that we might mess things up if we make a choice. Maybe you don’t even know what you’re afraid of, or you’re telling yourself a story that you can’t make a decision about something.
You’re stuck in your perception of what the problem is, instead of really looking at the facts and backing it up with data. 

The Decision Filter: Your Path to Clarity and Confidence
If this sounds familiar, Krista has a brilliant tool in her arsenal—the Decision Filter. It’s a straightforward yet incredibly effective way to take control of your decision-making process and banish decision debt for good. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Define the Outcome
– Grab a pen and paper.
– Ask yourself: “What is the outcome I’m looking for?”
– Write down the specific result you want to achieve. Be clear and concise.

Step 2: Align with Your Goals
– Next, ask yourself: “Does this decision align with my big-picture goals for the business?”
– Ensure that the choice you’re contemplating is in harmony with your long-term vision.

Step 3: Now or Later?
– Here’s where the magic happens. Write down: “Does this make sense for now, or is it something for later?”
– Give yourself permission to delay decisions that aren’t time-sensitive. Not everything needs an immediate solution.

Step 4: List the Benefits
– At the top of your template, list all the benefits you’ll gain from making this decision.
– Think about how it will bring clarity, focus, organization, and a potential for better outcomes.

Step 5: Evaluate Criteria for Success
– Before you dive in, identify the criteria that will determine your decision’s success.
– What will you measure, and how will you know if it’s working?

By following these simple steps, you’ll bring your decisions out of the chaotic mental whirlwind and onto paper, where you can see them clearly. It’s like flipping on a light switch in a dark room of confusion. Suddenly, you have the clarity and confidence you need to make informed choices.
