LIFE AS STARTUP: Harvard-Backed Strategies for Success: "Stop Gut Feeling for Top Decision" Part 1

You make 35,000 decisions a day, but what system do you use for the 10 that will define your future? Most people rely on gut feelings or endless pro-con lists, leading to analysis paralysis and decision regret. This is a mistake.

This video breaks down a powerful, Harvard-backed strategic framework for making high-stakes life decisions about your career, relationships, and finances. We reveal why the most successful executives don't rely on intuition—they use systematic models to evaluate trade-offs, mitigate risk, and act with confidence.

Stop hoping for clarity and start engineering it. By the end of this video, you will have a 5-step system to turn any major choice into a clear business case, eliminating regret and dramatically improving your life's trajectory. This is the first episode in our "Life as Startup" series.
