Intuition some suggest comes from our gut brain as described by Dr. Hawkins in his book Get Out Of Your Own Way or by others as an unknown sense that has always been with us.

Whatever the source, intuition is the gut brain for business. For example, have you ever met a potential client and felt immediately that this was a good fit or conversely met a prospect and couldn't get away from him or her fast enough. Why did you have those strong feelings? And more importantly, why did you listen to them?

What happened when you failed to listen to your intuitive sense? Did you experience an internal "I told you so!?" Maybe, after ignoring your gut brain because you were afraid of being judgmental, you took a chance and the end result confirmed your intuition. Nowhere is this sense, intuition, more needed than in today's business environment.

With the beginning of a New Year and the desire for greater business success, now is the time to take a few moments and record all those intuitive hits and misses. As you reflect, you should begin to measure the impact of going with your gut brain or ignoring this invaluable capacity for building your business.

Why should you listen to your intuitive sense beyond your own hits and misses?

As a business coach, I am sure that the are many reasons for small business failure, but I believe that in many cases, these entrepreneurial innovators failed to ignite intuition and leveraged the power of intuition within their businesses.

The intuitive capacity grows with our own experiences hence why information is necessary to validate this sense. When we are young, so is our intuitive sense. As we grow older and gain additional experiences, our gut brain has the ability to make more connections and deliver us this feeling.

In business, we must not ignore these feelings. When we use these feelings in conjunction with a solid decision making process, we can "work smarter and not harder" as we strive towards achieving our desired results. Our intuition helps us to prevent miss steps provided we are willing to hear the messages from this "gut brain."

So as another year begins, maybe it is time to truly start listening to your intuition and use this unrecognized sense to make the New Year even more successful for your business and personal lives.
