Sales: I routinely follow my intuition and 9/10 I'm correct. Is there a way to sell my points without overly looking like I'm winging it?
DA

David Anttony, Serial Entrepreneur, IT focused answered:

Using your 'intuition' is often as you probably know called 'following your gut' - a pretty awful term - BUT there is some truth in that nonetheless.

The truth lies in the fact that our FEELINGS (not emotions) are an enhanced form of communication. And we mainly 'feel' our feelings in our stomach area - hence 'listen to your gut feelings'.

The trick in business is to use your feelings to get FAST answers about if you should do something or NOT do something - and then follow up with logic and facts - learning to MERGE these two will make you a powerful creator and decision maker.

The first step is to use these tips :

If something FEELS good - it's usually a YES -- and if it feels BAD it's usually a NO -- and if no feeling at all - then it does not matter OR the time is not right.

When you take the next ACTION steps they should ALWAYS be from something that feels GOOD. If you take action steps when you feel bad or indifferent the results will usually be the same - bad or indifferent.

After you get a CLEAR feeling - then take the next steps to act -- and always integrate your mental and feeling skills -- that way you stay GROUNDED in all your actions.

Good luck and keep having fun.
