What Should I Do?

This week I got decision fatigue.  Every time I turned around there was a business decision to make.  (Mind you, I only have a small, home-based business). Some of my readers find it easier to make decisions than I do.  I over-think, over-research, waffle, make a decision, second guess it, waffle, give up.  I can’t…
