The Quietly Disruptive Business

The one question that will change how you make every decision in your business


Listen Later

What if there was one question you could ask yourself before every single decision in your business — every client, every project, every marketing move, every use of your time — that would cut straight through the noise and show you exactly what's really going on?

That's what today's episode gives you, and it's simpler and more powerful than you might expect.

Following on from Tuesday's episode about the difference between thinking like a founder and thinking like an employee, today I'm handing you the question that makes that shift practical and usable, and I walk you through a scenario so you can see exactly how it works, including what happens when fears start dressing up as logic, professionalism, and practicality.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • The two-part question that works on literally any decision including clients, marketing, pricing, how you structure your day, all of it
  • Why fears don't always show up looking like fears and how this question strips away the costume to reveal what's actually driving your choices
  • A full worked example of a brand strategist facing a client decision that looks like a no-brainer on the surface but isn't, and what changes when they ask the question
  • And the difference between accepting without question and questioning to find a better way

The big takeaway: The only way to change what's really going on underneath your decisions is to face it, but to do that you need to see it first, and this question shines the light into every corner.

Take it with you into your week and ask it before every decision you face: is this serving my vision for my business, or am I choosing it because of a fear?

Until next time, stay quietly disruptive.
