Do I stay or do I go . . .


Last week I was faced with a rather difficult decision. My girlfriend wanted me to go to her horse show in Scottsdale, AZ with her and her family over the weekend. However, I was not looking forward to the drive or the potentially awkward moments that I knew I would be placed in. I have been getting a ton of pressure from her family as of lately to make a decision as to whether or not to marry her. I knew that this trip would only add to the heat of the pressure cooker I am already in. To help me in my decision I followed one of the strategy models we have been taught . . . The Value Curve. I figured since it is usually used for firm use . . . why not use it for personal use. After deciding which factors of competition were relevant and ranking them from High to Low, I created the chart and made the decision to go and experience the Arabian Horse Show!
