Get Off the Fence

Motivational Power Quote

Get Off the Fence

“It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on

sometimes. What matters is getting off. You cannot make

progress without making decisions.”

Jim Rohn 1930 – 2009, American Entrepreneur, Author,

Motivational Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Get off the fence

When there’s a decision that has to be made . . . . Make it and get off the fence and do what has to be done.

You can go into a business planning meeting . . . . and no one wants to speak up, make a decision or put their idea on the table. They sit there in gridlock and nothing positive is happening.

They’re setting there with passive body language and avoiding eye contact because they don’t want to be asked a question . . . . or asked to make a decision. 

The people around the table are in fear of making a mistake or in presenting their viewpoint . . . . that could be difference then what’s being presented.

There is no forward progress in setting on the fence . . . . And when people are not making decisions they are heading in the direction of falling off the fence . . . . and accepting other people making decisions for them.

When you give up your give up your right or ability to make decisions . . . . you surrender you future to other peoples whims.

Don’t be a fence sitter . . . Get off the fence . . . . and when a decision has to be made . . . . make it.
