We make decisions every day. Some are as simple as determining what I want for breakfast. Others are more critical, like should we enter that new market at work.
The wrong breakfast choice may make you feel satisfied throughout the morning – or it could create potential internal havoc. A strategic market decision can have a parallel impact (satisfaction or chaos) but on a much bigger scale.

Forecasting & the Data
Forecasting the impacts of our decision is one of the most challenging things we can do in our businesses. That’s true whether it’s one regarding an immediate need or one that determines investing in our next big market leap.
The best intelligence we have with these decisions is the data we have on hand. This data can come from several sources, such as personal experiences, the current economy, past investments, and even the time of year. The common denominator among all of them is that they are facts. If we can begin with facts, we trust our decisions in forecasting will have a greater chance for success.
