S3E41: How to make good decisions to unlock business growth and more opportunities

from The Boardroom Podcast · host Iggy Odighizuwa

The biggest risk to your business isn't competition. It's you.  Specifically, it's your emotional volatility and your inability to make objectively good decisions based on data instead of feelings. In this episode, Tikis and I tackle the one thing that separates businesses that scale from businesses that stay stuck - emotional decision-making.  I've watched entrepreneurs tank their own growth because they cared more about how something was done than whether it was actually working. I had a client ready to shut off a cancellation sequence because it 'felt too aggressive.'  The data? 62% rebooking rate with over 500 calls rebooked.  Conservative estimate? Over $305,000 in revenue. They almost killed it because of feelings, not facts. Another client lost their mind over 3 leads. Started panicking, tagging the team, asking for emergency help.  When I pulled up the dashboard, all 3 leads had responded, and one booked a call. The system was working. Their emotions were lying to them. This is the pattern I see over and over. You're too close to your business. You hate the way your top closer runs calls even though they're closing at 50%.  You want to change the messaging even though it's converting at 12% lead-to-book. You're making decisions based on preference instead of performance. I walk you through exactly how to fix this. How to zoom out, slow down, and let the numbers guide your decisions instead of your gut reactions. Why function over form is the only way to scale. If you want the outcome more than you want it done your way, this episode will change how you run your business. Stop letting your emotions cost you money. Stop letting your feelings tank your revenue.  Hit play and learn how to make decisions that actually scale your business.  Drop a 💰 if you've ever killed something that was working because it didn't "feel right."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
