The 30 Second Decision Rule: The Weight of Unmade Decisions with Joel Weigle

What happens when every decision comes back to you? In his 20s, Joel Weigle was helping lead the construction of a chemical plant while working nonstop and becoming the person everyone relied on for an answer. Contractors, vendors, engineers, everything eventually came back to him. At some point, he realized the decisions he wasn’t making were creating more stress than the decisions themselves. So he bought a stopwatch and started giving himself 30 seconds to make a call. In this episode, Joel shares where the 30 second decision rule came from, what he learned after the chemical plant he helped build exploded, and how those experiences shaped the way he approaches leadership, risk, real estate, and entrepreneurship today. We also talk about trusting your intuition, learning from the decisions that don’t work out, thinking bigger, and why making the decision is sometimes the hardest part. “The heaviest things in life are not iron and ore. It’s unmade decisions.” CONNECT WITH JOEL Email: jweigel@deal3investments.co Missing Hotel: https://www.instagram.com/missinghote... Excelerate: https://www.excelerateadvisory.com/?u...
