Three Types of Thinking to Make Your Next Move the Right Move

Quick and smart decisions are crucial for success in the fast-paced business world. 

As an executive coach for busy entrepreneurs, I see firsthand the struggle of making snap decisions while staying focused on long-term goals.

Entrepreneurs constantly face change and must keep their next move in check. To cut through the chaos and ensure your next step is spot-on, harness these three types of strategy thinking:

  • Outward Thinking: Talk it out and get fresh perspectives.
  • Inward Thinking: Reflect deeply in a focused, personal space.
  • Gut Thinking (Intuition): Trust your instincts.

Combine these approaches with my quick strategy method to align every move with your core values and vision. This way, you ensure that your next move is not just good—but the right one.

Strategy is the key to success and will ensure that you are forward-thinking while designing your next move.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Discover the Quick Strategy Methodology: This approach includes three key insights—Quick Wins, Strategy Hacks, and Game Changers. Developed from a decade of coaching over 1,000 entrepreneurs, these insights are designed to tackle common challenges and craft effective strategies for success.
  2. Select the Insights: Choose one or more insights that resonate with your current situation.
  3. Combine with Thinking Approaches: Integrate these insights with one or more of the following thinking strategies to refine your key strategies and plan your next move.

Outward Thinking:

Outward thinking thrives as a collaborative process. It often requires interaction with another person, though some have found success using recording devices to capture their thoughts for later review. The key is that by expressing your thoughts and challenges aloud, your brain processes issues more effectively than through inward thinking alone.

Inward Thinking:

Inward thinking involves solitary reflection, meditation, and deep contemplation. It’s a personal process that can only be effectively done alone. To set yourself up for success, create an environment conducive to inward thinking—consider the space, time of day, and your mental state.

Gut Thinking (Intuition):

Intuition, or gut thinking, is a powerful tool. It can alert you when something feels off or reassure you when things fall into place. Trusting your intuition can provide valuable insights and guidance. By integrating these three types of thinking—outward, inward, and gut—you can enhance your strategic insights and decision-making.
