My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Physical observation trumps data analysis for operational problems

Evidence

CEO fixed unprofitable business by sitting and watching rather than analyzing reports

Implication

Leaders should spend more time in the field observing rather than in conference rooms theorizing

Counter Belief

Data-driven decision making is more objective and scalable than anecdotal observation

Example Application

Restaurant owner spending shifts on the floor watching operations rather than just reviewing sales reports
