Strategy & decision making

It’s easy to get stuck when everything feels like a priority. This topic brings focus by helping you prioritise what really drives growth.

Strategy & decision making

Introduction

The hardest part of growth isn’t execution, it’s knowing where to start. You can buy tools, launch campaigns, or run sprints, but without a clear direction you’ll just move faster in the wrong direction.

This section is all about helping you cut through the noise. I’ll show you how I make decisions in growth projects, how I prioritise, and how I avoid the trap of chasing whatever feels urgent.

It’s not about theory. It’s about making fewer, better choices so your team can actually move. No more deadlock. Just a clear plan and space to execute.
