Data Over Assumptions: How Strategic Decisions Actually Get Made with Michelle DeNio

<p>We all say we want to make data-driven decisions—but most of us can&#39;t say what the data actually is.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m joined by Michelle DeNio, a business growth strategist with 15+ years across business development, accounting, operations, sales and leadership, and the host of The Real Truth About Business. </p><p><br></p><p>Together we look at what a strategic decision looks like in practice: the offer you&#39;re ready to cancel after mentioning it three times in thirty days, the data points sitting in your business that have nothing to do with numbers, and why looking at what&#39;s already working tends to be more useful than hunting for what&#39;s broken.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, we talk about:</p><ul><li>why &quot;this isn&#39;t working&quot; is usually a conclusion drawn from far too little information,</li><li>how to find the data already sitting in your business—where your clients came from, how often you followed up, where your time went, and</li><li>what changes when you define success on your own terms before measuring anything against it.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you&#39;ve ever made a decision because something felt like it wasn&#39;t working, this is a conversation worth sitting with.</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Michelle:</p><ul><li>Website – http://www.michelledenioconsulting.com</li><li>LinkedIn – http://www.linkedin.com/in/michelledenio</li><li>The Real Truth About Business podcast – https://michelledenioconsulting.com/podcast/</li><li>Free worksheet: the five areas money is hiding in your business – https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kuIGmNxUBYZhLCvcT6OqS6dD7HH2sKh3/view?usp=sharing</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Connect with Julianna:</p><ul><li>LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliannayauyorgan</li><li>Join my newsletter – https://daringtosucceed.com/business-newsletter/</li></ul>
