Why Trusting a Strategist Is Harder Than Hiring One

Hiring a strategist is easy. Trusting one? That’s where most businesses fail 💯

The truth is — strategy isn’t always sweet.
It often brings uncomfortable clarity.
Sometimes it tells you that your current plan won’t work.
That the product needs to evolve.
That the audience you’re chasing isn’t the one you should be talking to.

Smart businesses don’t resist this.
They don’t micromanage every deliverable.
They don’t force approval on every line of thinking.
Instead, they align.
They ask better questions.
They engage with the process — not just the presentation.

Because strategy isn’t built for applause.
It’s built for alignment. For direction. For better decisions.

If you want surface-level design and sugar-coated advice — I’m not the right strategist for you 💯
