From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"If you're vacillating on that first next step, you really haven't made your decision." - Skip Weisman

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Skip Weisman for a live coaching conversation. Skip was the CEO of five minor league baseball teams over 20 years, then spent 22 years as a small business coach, professional speaker and the author of Overcoming the Seven Deadliest Communication Sins. Now, with the tenth draft of his first novel complete, he's going for the ultimate goal he named himself: a novel bold enough to get banned.

You'll walk away with:
- Why a real decision cuts off every other possibility
- How the smallest first step tells you whether you've actually decided
- What changes when you stop collecting information and move on the choice you've already made
