Episode #17: Trust Your Instinct: The Power & Pitfalls of the Gut Center
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.
