Episode #17: Trust Your Instinct: The Power & Pitfalls of the Gut Center
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every entrepreneur makes hundreds of decisions each week, but how you make them is what drives your results.
In the kickoff of the three-part series Risk, Decisions & Action: How Your Enneagram Center Drives Your Business Moves, Margot Zaher explores the Gut (Body) Center of the Enneagram - Types 8, 9, and 1. Discover how instinct shapes risk-taking, decision-making, and action, and learn to transform those instant “yes” or “no” signals into a dependable business advantage.
If you’ve ever followed a hunch, second-guessed yourself, or felt a full-body pull toward (or away from) an opportunity, this episode will help you turn that natural intuition into a strategic superpower.
