You get a hunch and you feel very strongly about it.
Then you get some negative feedback and you give up on the idea. Why do you do that?
You may think that your hunch was not backed by reasoning or proof, therefore it had no base. That could be true. Alternatively, your intuition may be spot on and even more powerful than reasoned analysis.
There is an amazing power within all of us that guides us. Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey and many other highly successful entrepreneurs have all relied on their instincts to make important decisions and it has served them well. Why is that the case? Because they trust their instincts as Oprah Winfrey aptly puts it: “I’ve trusted the still, small voice of intuition my entire life.”
If you do not trust your own intuition, how do you expect others to do so?
