The Real Truth About Making Smart Business Decisions That Won't Cost You Everything

Ready to stop second-guessing every business decision and finally know exactly when to trust your instincts (and when to dig into the data instead)? 🚀

As course creators, we often find ourselves torn between following our gut feelings and relying on cold, hard data. Sometimes this internal battle leads to costly mistakes – like my own $100K+ decision to pause this very podcast based purely on emotion. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on this experience to help you avoid similar pitfalls and make smarter, more confident decisions in your business.

I'm sharing the framework I wish I'd had before making that expensive mistake, showing you exactly how to balance intuition with analytics so you can move forward with clarity and confidence in your business decisions.

“Your gut always gives us what it knows best, but sometimes what our gut knows best is not the best. And sometimes we have to override our gut in order to make decisions that will be good for our business.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the costly impact of making pure emotional decisions (and how to avoid this common trap)
  • Learn the exact framework for knowing when to trust your gut vs. when to dig into your data
  • Master the art of making strategic decisions that serve both present and future you
  • Uncover the three core emotions driving most “gut decisions” (and how to handle each one)
  • Get clear on which business areas should always be data-driven (and which ones benefit from intuition)

Grab your favorite notebook and settle in with your drink of choice – this episode is packed with the strategic clarity you've been craving! ☕️
