Uncovering the Silent Killer Destroying Your Company - #1 Reason Revealed

The silent killer in your business is emotional attachment which can be a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, it fuels our passion, our drive, and our determination to succeed. On the other hand, it can cloud our judgment, lead to poor decision-making, and ultimately harm our businesses. That's why it's essential to recognize when our emotions are taking over and step back to evaluate the situation objectively.
But what happens when the thing we're emotionally invested in is also the thing that's holding us back? What happens when the hardest decision we have to make is about something we care deeply about? This is where the power of data-driven decision-making comes into play.
By relying on hard facts, figures, and trends, we can make informed choices that are not influenced by our emotions.
Join me as we learn how to balance our emotional investment with the importance of data-driven decision-making. Let's take our businesses to new heights by learning how to make the right choices, even when they're the hardest ones to make.

    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg

    very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $600k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance to make a from a financial-advisorr, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.

    The adviser I'm in touch with is *Jude Ryan Mcdonough* He works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me his strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.

    This is what I am still struggling with. I started my business while in school. No record keeping was in place. I have operated for close to 3 years now and the revenue I make is only able to sustain the business even though I do not take salary from it. It is being managed by my family. The moment I asked them to follow a record keeping system, they are very reluctant to do so. Till date, it's still not implemented and I don't even get paid for a business I stared years ago. In this situation, what will be the best thing to do as a young person who just started my entrepreneurial journey? Customers are always running in day by day_ very loyal customers actually. Sometimes, I am even required to pump personal savings into a business that has not been paying me. I'm worried. Any advice?

    Sometimes you know the "data" & what ppl are accused of.... But God still asks you to pray for ppl, hoping that the holy spirit will touch their hearts and that will bring them to true repentance. Sometimes you pray Bcoz you see the broken hearts and tears following them and even the danger that's approaching which could potentially create a disaster in a person's life. At the end of the day We are all parents, when I pray for ppl it's Not just about them. I look at the devastation and mess it will cause to their children.

Decision Science is guided by carefully crafted biases and very very irrational human tendencies that too depend on data but do not treat data as God but a suggestion to be ignored. And yet the decision is credited to Data. Thanks for making me think about this.

    Generally speaking: perhaps what is most confusing about this guy is that he is said to be worth tons of millions of dollars, yet I note that he is not on Forbes list. He does not even have a Wikipedia page. Surely, if your net worth should be estimated to be 600 million dollars, as an "important" person, there should a Wikipedia page written about you. There is none for this guy. Even his net worth is found on dubious sources, not on reliable ones like Forbes. I have often found this very puzzling

You might get away with this one, but you will also have to explain how come in almost all sources in the internet, he is not mentioned in the list of rich people in South Africa. 600 million dollars is not a tiny amount, it's above what Ramaphosa is worth. Yet he is recognized by all sources. And if you going to say he refused to be mentioned, this guy does not strike me as someone who would not want media attention. He is popular, and uses many media platforms, it is unlikely. he refused. All I am saying there is something wrong here; there is misconception of his worth.
