Listen to Your Gut

As a business owner I have made a few mistakes along the way.  We all do.  It’s the only way to you figure out what works.  I had an interesting realization when looking over 2009.   Whenever things went off the rail in my business, it was because I did not listen to my gut.

You know that quiet ‘ping’ you get when your mind is telling you the answer, but you ignore it?   Maybe you listen to other people;  maybe you discount it because it is ‘just a feeling’.  Whatever the reason, I can see very clearly whenever things didn’t work out the way I expected, I had intentionally ignored my radar warning.

Your gut, your radar, your subconscious – whatever you want to call it – is the best GPS you can use for guiding yourself on important decisions.  Listen to it.  I plan to this year.  Every time.
