In Chapter 7 of The Think Big Movement, titled “Trust Your Gut,” Jacob wrestles with a challenge many leaders face: the tension between data-driven decisions and following intuition. While logic and analysis have their place, Jacob learns the value of trusting his instincts—realizing that his gut has often led him to the right choices in the past. This chapter reminds us that intuition, informed by experience, can be a powerful tool in decision-making. Consider this: When was the last time you trusted your gut and it paid off? Reflect on a current business challenge and take a moment to tune into your instincts before diving into the data. Action Step: For your next major decision, pause for a minute to consider your initial instinct. Let it guide you alongside your analysis. Download The Think Big Movement and its companion workbook for more insights on growing your business big.

To grow your business faster, create a micro business plan from Labor Day to Thanksgiving. This focused period is ideal for driving growth and preparing for the end of the year. Concentrate on your top three goals, set a specific measurable target, and aim to exceed it by 25% to compensate for the slower pace between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This approach helps maintain a healthy pipeline and sets up a strong start for the new year.
