Luckily it just cost me 10 minutes
We make decisions in our personal and business lives every day, and most work out right.
From what to wear or have for breakfast, to the priority for client work or which supplier to go with.
Many of these decisions don’t have big consequences if you get them wrong, but some can.
I made the wrong decision, but the consequence was only a 10 minute delay.
I had invigilating at school the other morning.
On the journey there, there is a point when I have 2 possible routes – the motorway or a B road.
I would normally take the B road – it’s a lot easier to turn around and find an alternative if there is a problem.
Not so much with the motorway – apparently you’re not allowed to reverse or turn around on them! 😮
But that morning I decided to take the motorway as it’s quicker.
Oops.
As I joined the motorway, the slip road was at a standstill, as was the reast of the carriageways.
I eventually made it onto the motorway and we edged slowly along (but at least it was moving).
I only had 1 junction to do, so I stayed in the inside lane. I eventually made it to the slip road off, but that was queuing all the way down to the traffic lights too.
I eventually passed the lights onto the roundabout, dodged a juggernaut that was in the wrong lane, a Range Rover that wanted my piece of road, and arrived at school only 10 minutes behind schedule.
Not bad.
Many decisions about your marketing and advertising law compliance can be a little more difficult than which road to take, and the consequences of getting it wrong can be far more serious.
I can help make those decisions so much easier. Asking for expert help is nearly always the right decision.
