There have been plenty of times I haven't trusted my gut. In life and business. Sometimes ignoring it has me chasing a shiny object... sometimes it leads me to think I need to change everything NOW... I've collaborated with the wrong people, tried things I didn't want to do, and I've even posted something I didn't feel 100% about, but I did it anyway because #consistency.
My MAIN downfall when not listening to my gut when it comes to ignoring red flags or second-guessing the color I'm seeing.
Red, yellow, or maybe even green? What color is the flag? That’s where we’re headed in this episode:
- 6 Common reasons we ignore the red flags
- 7 Red flags reminding you to run the other way
- 7 Yellow(ish?) flags reminding you to proceed with caution
- How to get better at spotting red flags and upholding your word to yourself
- 5 Ways to say no professionally (and a bonus silly one 🤪)
- And more!
