The biggest decision I made was to leave a toxic work environment WITHOUT having a job lined up. I let go and let God, and 2 days later, I interviewed for a position, and got it.
One thing to keep in mind, which is widely important is to make sure you don't get in your own way.

The biggest decision that I made in my career was to switch careers and industries from a relatively safe career in healthcare to a job in a brand new industry which at that point was then called "the world wide web" in the mid-90s when the digital space was brand new, and the internet business-models were still being figured out.
Very scary but the best decision I've ever made in my career.

What did you change over to doing? IT?

The biggest decision was to move out of a company that I was comfortable in with a lot of free time, to pursue a new job that pays much more but works me harder. I'm learning so much that will help me in the long term with my career, and can finally afford my basic needs!
