Daniel Tenner at Swombat.com wrote a very good list of solid principles to consider when making tough decisions.

tl;dr

1. Reject externally and internally dictated sets of choices and explore the landscape of choices on your own.
2. Be aware of your own priorities in life, so that you can use them to guide your tough decisions.
3. If every choice still feels like a mistake, err on the side of good, universal human values.

“It’s just business, it’s not personal” is a fallacy.
