Pull the trigger – Try: initiate or kick-off
Refers to taking action on a decision or plan, typically related to a significant investment, project, or initiative. It involves committing to a course of action after careful consideration of potential risks and benefits. Pulling the trigger often requires courage and confidence, as it may involve taking a calculated risk to achieve a specific goal or objective. Once the trigger is pulled, the decision becomes final, and the business must execute the plan accordingly.
An example of “pull the trigger” in business coaching could be a coach encouraging a client to take action on a business decision or opportunity they have been considering. The coach may work with the client to develop a clear plan of action and identify any potential obstacles or risks. By pulling the trigger and executing on the plan, the client can move forward and make progress towards their goals. The coach can also provide support and guidance throughout the process, helping the client stay focused and overcome any challenges that arise.
