Episode 95 - Making decisions when you're not 100% sure

What if I make the wrong decision?

You need to make a decision but you're not sure what the right answer is. Every option has it's downsides and every choice feels like it could go wrong. The longer you sit with it, the heavier it gets because you're responsible for other people now. This episode of Career Espresso is about making decisions when you can't be certain, trusting your judgment when the information is incomplete, and what to do when things don't work out.

• How to know when you've got enough information to make the call
