Should I Really Sleep On It?

Sometimes people consult with us and wonder whether their signature on a document means anything. Yes, Yes, Yes, Do not sign anything if you do not understand the documents and if you do not understand the consequences. Do not be pressured into signing documents. Understand them. Know what the document means for your life. Ask questions. Ask more questions. Do not sign until you totally and completely understand. Sleep on it. Really, go to bed, think about it and decide in the morning. Yes, actually sleep on it. You make better decisions when you are rested, you have lots of data, you have asked questions and you are not under stress. So, next time it feels like someone is screaming at you, sleep on it and decide in the morning.
