I created the Decision Tool for a client many years ago.  The client needed to analyze numerous business opportunities and did not have a good way to do it.

Sometimes the textbook will tell you to list the pro’s and con’s.  You can list the pro’s and con’s for 5 opportunities, and still not know what to do.  There is no comparison of one opportunity against the others.  The Decision Tool fixes that.  The Decision Tool helps you make the comparison – based on your own criteria.


Your criteria might be: lowest cost to start the new opportunity.  Or having the greatest passion for that choice.  Or the opportunity for the greatest profit, or the opportunity to get referrals from those clients.  Or perhaps the choice that does not require traveling.  Some are personal choices and some are business choices.


They are your Criteria!  The results will only be for you.


Many years ago I had an opportunity listed in my Decision Tool.  It read – Provide Keynote speeches on the topic of Leadership for Women.  Later I removed this opportunity from my list.  One of my criteria included building a business that could be sold.  A speaking business cannot be sold. When you make your last speech, your income stops.  There is nothing to sell to a buyer.  So I removed that opportunity from my list.  My other opportunities moved to the top.


Thank goodness for the Decision Tool.
