Stop Collecting Advice. Start Entrepreneur Decision Making

Dear Entrepreneur,

Have you ever found yourself sitting at a quaint coffee shop in Da Nang, scrolling through endless advice on your phone, feeling more lost than ever? I’ve been there—drowning in opinions, from “Do this” to “Don’t quit your job, it’s too risky,” until my head was spinning. Too many inputs, too much confusion—does this sound like your struggle with Entrepreneur Decision Making?

Stop Collecting Advice. Start Entrepreneur Decision Making

The Paralysis of Too Many Opinions - Entrepreneur Decision Making

Last week, I was sipping iced tea near the Han River, trying to decide if I should pivot my freelance business. I asked everyone—my older brother, my LinkedIn connections, even the motorbike taxi driver who always gives me life advice. Everyone had a different opinion, and I ended up more stuck than before. As an entrepreneur in Da Nang, I realized I was collecting advice like souvenirs, but I wasn’t moving forward. I was stuck in the trap of overthinking, and it was killing my Entrepreneur Decision Making.

Why More Advice Isn’t the Answer

Da Nang is full of well-meaning people who want to help. But when you’re building something new, too many voices can make you feel like you’re navigating a night market with no map. You don’t need another opinion on your business plan or your side hustle. What you need is clarity—and that comes from trusting yourself. Entrepreneur Decision Making isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about picking a direction and going for it, even if you’re scared. Stop asking, and start doing.

The Power of Taking Action

I finally decided to stop asking and start my Entrepreneur Decision Making journey. I picked one idea—offering my design services to local cafes in Da Nang—and ran with it. No more “what ifs,” no more waiting for the perfect plan. The first step was messy, but it felt so good to move. I learned more in one week of action than in months of advice-hunting. For Entrepreneur Decision Making, action is your best teacher. You’ll figure it out as you go—just start.

Pick a Direction and Go

So, the next time you catch yourself stuck in analysis paralysis, put down the phone, take a deep breath, and make a decision. You don’t need more opinions—you need more action. Whether you’re in Da Nang or anywhere else, Entrepreneur Decision Making starts with trusting your gut. Come share your journey with people who get it at Wildcats - we’re here to cheer you on as you take that first step.

Always have your back,

Wildcats
