Decision paralysis stops people from making progress on their dreams and in their lives. Being able to make informed decisions, quickly, change directions, and find solutions is a hallmark sign of a developed leader and successful entrepreneur.

On today’s episode, I walk you through why it’s so important to become a decisive person and the five questions you can ask yourself in any situation with any decision to make a clear choice for yourself that aligns with your life, your values, and your future.

Today, in the On Purpose podcast, Jay sits down with New York Times Bestselling Author, Alli Webb. After spending 15 years as a professional hairstylist, in 2010, she pioneered the Drybar concept, a chain of hair salons known for blowout services that quickly expanded nationwide. Jay and Alli go in depth about what the journey was behind creating a business to eventually selling the company for $225 million! Alli’s remarkable journey has landed her on the cover of Inc. Magazine, Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People in Business" list, Fortune magazine's "40 Under 40," and more. 

Alli and Jay explored the messy truth about starting something new– whether it’s a business or a relationship. They also talked about the importance of intuition and paying attention to red flags in entrepreneurship and the role of passion and love for what you do. 

You will also learn about how Alli balances her personal and professional life and the difficulty of navigating and ending a marriage. Remember that sometimes, we won’t always have the ‘perfect ending’ in our stories, and that’s okay.

• The importance of acknowledging imposter syndrome and using it as a source of motivation and growth
