Want to prevent WHAT WAS I THINKING business blunders?

What are your worst WHAT WAS I THINKING business blunders?

Hiring the wrong assistant?
Waiting too long to do a presentation?
Presenting a report too soon?
Trusting the wrong person?
Saying yes instead of no to a bid?
Saying no instead of yes to a suggested innovation?
Or maybe saying yes to taking your present entire job?

Do any of your WHAT WAS I THINKING blunders share anything in common?

I’ll confess right now: all mine do. They all came with an intuitive warning: YO! STOP! PROCEDE WITH CAUTION!

In other words all my WHAT WAS I THINKING blunders were all created because I wasn’t thinking rightly.

I was giving far too much importance to my analytical thoughts and not nearly enough respect to my intuitive thoughts.

FACT: If you want to score extreme business success, it’s important to recognize the big difference between being KNOWLEDGABLE and WISE.

A KNOWLEDGABLE PERSON gathers vasts amounts of information, then memorizes, number crunches and reports. Meaning: A KNOWLEDGABLE PERSON 100% values knowing and showing book smarts – but doesn’t value gut smarts and street smarts.

A WISE PERSON not only recognizes the importance of gathering information, but goes one step beyond, by merging their knowledge with gut instincts, and thereby thinking from both sides of their brain!

In my NEW book GUT: HOW TO THINK FROM YOUR MIDDLE TO GET TO THE TOP -- and it's accompanying seminar -- I give a lot of helpful background information on the science of the gut – in the same way Malcolm Gladwell did in his popular book BLINK– only I give you the info in BLINK in a mere blink – very quickly. Plus I go a step further by including lots of easy/highly effective techniques for strengthening your gut.

I believe nowawadays its more important than ever to trust your gut – for three big reasons:

1. The world has speeded up. Learning how to better trust your gut helps you make wiser quick decisions. Indeed, in today’s high speed world, it’s the hare not the tortoise who wins the race!

2. The world has gotten more cluttered. Leaning to trust your gut helps you to wisely narrow focus on the most relevant facts to act on.

3. The world now relies too much on focus groups. Leaning to trust your gut helps you make sure these meetings don’t turn into de-focus groups.

I believe many of the wisest business decisions ONLY come when you wisely trust your gut and thereby have:

a. the intuitive courage to go against status quo and group opinion
b.. the intuitive foresight to see a new market even before it’s obviously emerged
c. the intuitive trust in yourself to try a hitherto untried opportunity
d. the intuitive ability to tap into a client’s most relevant priorities/needs/values -- before they become a client’s biggest problems
e. an intuitive strong sense for what your highest priorities/needs/values may be
