You have a momentous decision to make: you’ve been offered a massive and lucrative job contract. Your gut says, “Go for it!” But wait – are you seeing the full picture? 

Some charge in headfirst, convinced it’s the golden ticket. Others hesitate, overwhelmed by potential risks. But here’s the thing: great decisions aren’t just about gut instinct or playing it safe. They’re about balancing the equation – weighing the upside against the risks and checking your natural bias before making the call. 

We break down the five key questions that will help you make clear, confident, and strategic decisions – the kind that grow your business without blowing it up: 
How am I going to fund it? 
How am I going to resource it? 
How am I going to operationally deliver it? 
What’s the risk to my future pipeline? 
Have I earned the right to take this on? 

In this episode you’ll learn: 
🔨 Trusting your gut is good, but strategic thinking prevents costly mistakes. 
🔨 Big opportunities can grow your business or break it – assess them carefully. 
🔨 Always check your natural bias before making high-stakes business decisions.  
🔨 Ask yourself: Have I truly earned the right to take this on? 
🔨 Growth requires funding – ensure you can afford expansion before committing. 
🔨 Poor resourcing can destroy profit margins – plan labour needs before accepting large jobs. 
🔨 Operational strain from big projects can derail your entire business. 
🔨 Ignoring your future pipeline today can leave you struggling tomorrow. 
🔨 Strategic decision-making builds sustainable success, not just one good year.
