🔍 Trust Your Gut, but Don’t Ignore the Data Ever stepped on the scale after being “really good” for a week and watched the numbers go in the wrong direction? It’s easy to think, “something’s wrong with the scale!” In business, the numbers don’t lie (for the most part). But data isn’t the only thing you should rely on. Your intuition is just as important — it comes from years of experience, pattern recognition, and a deep understanding of your business. So, what do you do when your gut says one thing, but the data says another? Ever find yourself: → Struggling to make sense of both instinct and data? → Trusting your gut but second-guessing the numbers? → Leaning on data but wondering if it’s missing something important? It’s worth asking if you’re measuring the right things. But those KPIs are there for a reason, and in most cases, the numbers are accurate—they’re just incomplete. I worked with a founder who had every KPI nailed down across their business units. But they didn’t have a key piece of information about how funding was expected to be deployed across those units. This missing metric was affecting how the entire operation ran. The founder’s gut feeling that something was off? The data wasn’t wrong—it was just missing a piece. When you combine intuition with data, you get the best of both worlds — strategic foresight with data-backed confidence. Trust your gut, but lean on the numbers most of the time. And when your intuition tells you something’s off, dig deeper. 👉 Are you listening to both your gut and your data to make better decisions?
