Entrepreneurs
and professionals use endless resources: creative abilities, past
experience, education, logic, analysis, and intuition. Intuition
can be defined as knowing something without conscious use of reason.
Law enforcement
officers are notorious for relying on intuition. If a detective
didn't have "hunches" about a case, he would have fewer
avenues to pursue, and he wouldn't be able to solve as many crimes.
Ted Bundy, the
notorious serial killer, was caught when he was pulled over for
speeding. Just think how many more women would have been murdered
if the officer who stopped him had written Bundy a ticket and sent
him on his way. Fortunately, the officer checked the car because
Bundy gave him a bad feeling. During the car search, the officer
discovered Bundy's tools of torture, and he was arrested.
Every day,
entrepreneurs make critical business decisions. To make them, we
have learned to bring all our resources to bear. And that includes
intuition.
Bob Jajko, intuitive
coach and business consultant believes that everyone uses intuition
in some capacity.
He said, "Intuitive
information comes to you most easily in a relaxed state of mind.
To get into a receptive mode, put your calls on hold, shut the door,
close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths. Some people find
that intuitive insights will pop into their mind hours after doing
this exercise, as they're driving home or preparing dinner."
"Intuition
is a reliable inner resource for wisdom to guide our lives. Fortunately,
everyone has it, and we are capable of developing it for practical
use in everyday life as well as for discovering and achieving life
goals. Learn to listen to your intuition and learn from it. Here
are four ways to recognize your intuitive instinct at work:"
1. Inner
Voice — many people report hearing a quiet inner voice.
2. Dreams — You can receive intuitive guidance from dreams.
3. Emotions — You may simply "feel right" about
a certain course of action.
4. Physical Sensations — These are often called "gut
feelings." Some have reported a feeling of heaviness when
a situation is wrong, or a feeling of lightness or chills when
the course of action is favorable.
Use all your
resources to make your business and personal life a success. Don't
underestimate the power of your intuitive instinct.
