  May 29, 202629 min

  Most entrepreneurs think they need bigger ad budgets, a better city, or a bigger following to land serious clients. Monique Star built a 7-figure automotive marketing agency from Colorado working with Honda Racing, Aston Martin, Genesis, and Polestar... with zero ads.

  #44 - Real CEOs Make Wrong Decisions on Purpose. Here's Why That Works.

  May 8, 202612 min

  A woman who built a $50k/year side hustle asked me one question on a coaching call... and it completely stopped me. She wanted to know if she should sell her juice company or go all in and scale it. She asked me what I would do. The honest answer? I would never have started a drink company in the first place. That's not my path. So asking me was the wrong question entirely. And that's the point. The coaching industry has created a dependency problem. Entrepreneurs hire coaches not to get better... but to have someone else to blame when things go wrong. That's not coaching. That's outsourcing accountability. In this video I break down the three lessons every entrepreneur needs to hear about making decisions... even when you don't have all the information. Lesson 1: Vision alignment is your only real decision framework. If you don't know where you're going, no decision will feel right. Lesson 2: Motion is lotion. The entrepreneurs who win aren't the ones who make the right decision. They're the ones who make decisions fast and pivot faster. Lesson 3: Real CEOs expect to be wrong. Success doesn't come from making the perfect call. It comes from making enough calls until the right ones start to compound. If you're stuck in decision paralysis right now, this one's for you. Subscribe for more on building a lifestyle business that works without you grinding yourself into the ground.
