The One Tool You’re Not Using to Grow Your Business

Dear Reader,

You see, I've always been a big believer in intuition.

But as I started my business, I faced a lot of pressure to conform to the norms, follow the rules, listen to the experts, analyze the data, and rationalize everything.

Yet, sometimes, you need to trust your gut. Your intuition. Your inner voice. Whatever you want to call it.

Why? Because your intuition is the result of your subconscious mind processing all the information that your conscious mind can't.

It's the sum of your experiences, emotions, values, instincts, and creativity.

It's what makes you unique. It's what makes you human.

And it's what can give you an edge in business.

Here are some examples of how trusting your gut feeling can help you:

• Deciding it’s worth pursuing a business without being crystal clear on market research, business plan, or validation. Just a vision and passion to figure it out along the way.
• Hiring a team member based on a conversation and a vibe. They may turn out to be one of the best hires you’ve ever made.
• Launching a product or service without following conventional wisdom or best practices. It may sound risky, but it may just work like magic.
• Facing a major challenge without panicking or overthinking. You just listened to your gut and took action. It was bold and decisive, but it saved the day.

Of course, trusting my gut hasn't always been easy or smooth. But even then, trusting my gut has sees helped me learn from my failures, adapt to changes, and overcome obstacles.

And most importantly, trusting my gut has helped me enjoy the journey more.

So how can you trust your gut more in business decision-making?

Well, here are some tips that have worked for me:

• Tune in to your feelings. They are clues to your intuition.
• Experiment and test. They can help you learn and grow.
• Seek feedback and advice. They can help you improve and refine.
• Ask yourself questions. They can help you tap into your imagination and creativity.
• Trust yourself and have fun. They can help you follow your heart, purpose, and joy.
