80: Observe, Not Explain
Observe, not explain is the powerful pause between noticing something in your business and deciding what it means. In this episode, Wendy reveals why most entrepreneurs don't have an observation problem - they have an interpretation problem. Learn why your brain's rush toward certainty is costing you time, energy, confidence, and momentum, and how replacing one explanation with three possibilities keeps your curiosity alive long enough to actually solve the right problem. Today, you will walk away with… ✔ Why the pause between observation and explanation changes everything: certainty without evidence leads to expensive mistakes like rewriting a sales page when the real problem was visibility, lowering prices when the issue was unclear value, or abandoning a platform before giving it enough time ✔ The two paths in business: observation → explanation → decision (fast but risky) vs. observation → pause → curiosity → understanding → decision (slower but dramatically better quality) ✔ The power of "yet": "I don't know why this happened yet" isn't indecisive - it's curious, and curiosity leads to better answers than premature certainty ever will ✔ The three possibilities practice: instead of finding the answer, ask for three possible explanations - this keeps you curious, prevents latching onto the first story, and opens up solutions you'd never see otherwise Next time something unexpected happens, write down the observation then challenge yourself to write three possible explanations without deciding which is right - possibilities keep curiosity alive!
