Should I trust my data or my gut?

Two voices are battling inside every founder.

The answers aren’t always in the data—sometimes, they’re within you.

Perfect metrics, but something feels off ?? Your instincts screaming while your dashboard shows green?

Welcome to the Founder's Dilemma.

Here's the truth that most won't tell you:

Data only shows what HAS happened. Your gut reveals what COULD happen.

Think about it:

Data is your best friend when: • Validating product-market fit • Optimizing user experience • Measuring growth patterns • Fine-tuning core metrics

But your gut? It's your secret weapon for: • Making strategic pivots • Spotting hidden opportunities • Sensing market shifts before they show • Seeing what competitors can't

The Magic Formula: ✓ Use data to inform ✓ Let intuition guide ✓ Verify both signals ✓ Stay flexible to change

Remember: The best founders aren't slaves to spreadsheets. They're masters at balancing both voices.

Ready to embrace both sides of your decision-making power?

Note: "Gut" = Domain expertise + Years of experience + Pattern recognition, not just hunches
