The concept of advertising with media outside of the home gained a good degree of notoriety Sunday in The Los Angeles Times with a major article by staff writer Alana Semuels.The 1,000-word article, "Now showing very near you...", makes a strong case for digital signage networks and advertising as well as other out-of-home media.

Management psychologists Irving L. Janis and Leon Mann say people tend to be “reluctant decision makers” because they are “beset by conflict, doubts and worry.” They explain that people “seek relief by procrastinating, rationalizing and denying responsibility” in making choices.
This human tendency creates a big vacuum. Its name is opportunity!
"Organizations cannot function, certainly cannot succeed, without good decision- makers. Organizations reward those men and women who are willing and able to fill those roles," according to Ramon Greenwood, senior career counselor at www.CommonSenseAtWork.com
Therefore, opportunities are available for those who are willing and able to come to grips with decision-making. It's the very essence of management. Success depends on being confident and reasonably comfortable with the process. Of course, success also requires a good batting average of right decisions. That doesn't mean you have to be right all of the time; it means be right more often than wrong.
Why People Shy Away From Decisions
It helps to understand some of the reasons why people dislike making decisions.
All decisions encompass some degree of irrevocability. Once a decision has been made there is no returning to square one. There is a price tag attached to every decision. There are bound to be winners and losers.
Decisions expose us to attention. We may lack confidence in our ability to make decisions. We may not know how to make decisions.
These facts of life breed the kinds of stress that make some people so uncomfortable they had rather let others call the shots and take home the rewards. Others are willing to stick their heads in the sand and let the issues go unresolved.
How To Make Better Decisions
You can improve your tolerance for making decisions and do a better job at it by embracing a few common sense ideas.
It is important to realize that although each decision carries with it certain consequences, no outcome is likely to be the raging success or the unmitigated catastrophe we tend to imagine.
You will not be a good decision maker if your goal is always to avoid losing rather than always trying to win. Nobody in his or her right mind can expect to be right 100 percent of the time. Besides that, as I have already said, you don’t always have to be right in order to come out an overall winners.
You can’t afford to be defensive about decisions that turn out to be wrong. When you are wrong, and you will be from time to time, admit it and go on.
If you want to be a good decision-maker don’t get hung up waiting for all of the facts before coming to a conclusion. Satisfy your self that you understand the issue and have weighed all of the options. Test the alternative solutions among those who know the situation and will be impacted by the decision. Decide. Act.

Well that certainly is a direct -- if not offensive -- title, isn't it? Stay with me a little while longer, and you will understand its significance.Many of us realize that, to get a buyer's attention, we have to tell them about benefits. As Jack Trout and Al Reis wrote in their best-seller, Positioning, everyone listens to the same radio station, WII-FM (What's In It For Me?). No one really cares about us as businesspeople; they care about how our businesses can help them achieve their objectives.So what? There's that abrasive term again. B

No doubt you’ve heard the old notion of goal-setting: “If you don't know where you're going you'll probably end up somewhere else.” Anna Miller-Tiedeman, PhD. ruefully addresses this adage with “however, even if you do know where you're going, most likely, you'll still end up somewhere else.” Haven’t we all experienced the truth of this?Many people constantly pressure themselves to set goals or having had too many “failed” past attempts ignore goals altogether. There is a path between these two extremes that is less stressful and beneficial to our

While 90% of the U.S. population is bemoaning the quickly approaching April 15th tax deadline, I am waiting for my gift from the IRS. I big fat refund. How you ask?

Make Decisions To Grow
Nobody says you have to play the game as decision makers. But before deciding your role, but keep in mind how the real world works.
Organizations grow and profit only to the extent that their managers make good decisions. Therefore, ambitious organizations need and will pay to get men and women who can make decisions. People who have that ability are in limited supply. This means there are opportunities to gain positions of leadership and earn the material rewards that go to those persons who have the ability and courage to make decisions.
The choice is yours. Make a decision today.
