Can’t forget those… or wait I should be building an email list, and I need to make that lead magnet… damn what about the landing page and the sales copy and the email campaigns… now they are saying Facebook ads aren’t working and I need to be doing TikTok ads, but what about that Pinterest course I got… that seemed like it could work.

Matthew shares his 3-step decision-making framework so that you can make the right decision in your business or organization no matter what curveball you are thrown and be seen as the top-level leader you are.
