Hey Reader,

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck between two choices, questioning every decision, and worrying about which way to go? 😵‍💫

This “double-mindedness” is something we don’t talk about enough in leadership, yet it’s so common—and I’ve been there myself.

It’s that feeling of second-guessing, of being unsure if you’re making the right call, and it doesn’t just affect you—it impacts everyone around you.

I remember reading about Steve Jobs and his decision to launch the iPhone. He faced constant doubt from his team, and everyone around him was concerned it might flop.

But Steve stayed committed to his vision, even when others couldn’t see it.

He understood that double-mindedness—the hesitation, the wavering—would only lead to a fragmented vision. Instead, he pushed forward with clarity, and well, the rest is history.

For us, it’s the same.

Our decisions, big or small, need our confidence to succeed. When we hesitate or waver, it creates confusion, and our teams feel it.

I wrote an article on how to recognize double-mindedness in our own leadership style and how to move past it toward confident, decisive action.

Life got busy, distractions crept in, and before I knew it, I was spinning my wheels without making...
