Think Slower. Decide Faster.

Entrepreneurs are told, or conditioned, to move fast.

Build fast.
Launch fast.
Scale fast.
Fail fast.

But somewhere along the way, thinking got dragged into the sprint, too, and that’s when things started breaking.

Because when you think fast, you don’t go deep. At least for most of us.
When you stay at the surface level, your decisions stay reactive, rushed, and sometimes wildly expensive.

The best leaders aren’t the fastest. They’re the clearest.
Clarity doesn’t come from speed.
It comes from slowing down the right part of the process.
Slowing down to reflect.

You see the problem?

We move fast when we should pause.
And we pause when we should move.

Let’s flip that script.

Slow thinking. Fast decisions.

• Slow down your thinking. Make space. Journal. Name the fear. Zoom out.

• Clarify what matters. What's aligned? What's just noise?

• Decide clean. With intention, not apology.

• Move. Without dragging your feet for 3 weeks, wondering if you made the right call.

Sometimes the most effective strategy is 30 minutes of quiet focus and one aligned decision.

Most “bad” decisions weren’t bad — they were just rushed.

• That hire you made in a hurry because you were drowning?

• That launch you forced before it was ready because you “already announced the date”?

• That shiny partnership that looked good on LinkedIn but didn’t serve your business?

They weren’t failures. They were foggy decisions.
Made without space. Made without reflection. Made in motion.

A better decision-making rhythm sounds like this:

"I’m going to slow down for a day, so I can move for the next 90."

Coaching helps founders build this muscle

When you work with your coach, together you create space.

A protected hour where your brain isn’t reacting, replying, or performing.
An hour when you’re thinking with intention.
You’re asking better questions.
You filter your choices through what you want, not everyone else's expectations.

From there, decisions come more easily, faster, and cleaner. 

Because you already did the work in your mind.

So,

The point isn’t to move slower.
It’s to think slower, so you can decide faster.

💬 What’s one decision you rushed — that you wish you had slowed down for?
