Think nobody but Steve Jobs respects gut instinct? Think again.

A surprising number of psychologists and academics view intuition as a vital compliment to intellectual decisions. For example, Sonia Choquette, author of the bestseller Trust Your Vibes at Work, says...


"When you follow your gut instincts you are putting something very natural to work. Your intuition will take you beyond the threshold to a place that reflects your most passionate interests and nature."


Good right?...until money comes into play.


Leaders who make important decisions on gut instinct (even also relying on logic) often get nervous.


Turns out that even though gut-based decision-making has proven to be a business asset, the higher the stakes get, the more nervous these decisions and those around them become. And you might even hear a: "You're crazy."


When you hear that, great news. Being called crazy because your ideas make others uncomfortable is, in my experience, one of the surest predictors of success.


When you're acting based on research, you're basing your choices on consensus--what everybody else is thinking--and innovation doesn't happen by consensus.


Gut instinct lets you see beyond where your business is today to what it could be tomorrow.


That being said, I’d like to invite you to my masterclass Fully Aligned - How to Make Powerful Business Decisions >> https://mindfulchange.com/masterclass


This free masterclass is going to show you how you can use your knowing and gut instinct to make business decisions smoothly and without second guessing yourself.
