We all have gut feelings about different things. Many of the worldâ€™s most important decisions have been made with intuition. The eureka moment we get every now and again is a heightened version of this. Why is it that some of our finest moments happen when we are not even thinking about it? There is no clear reason for this but it seems to be down to a relaxed state of mind. When the mind is not under pressure it has time to dedicating itâ€™s time to creative and productive thought. Relaxed focus is one of the most powerful tools in the personal development locker. Try not to over analyse a situation too much and you will benefit from greater clarity of thought in your decision making.

Spiritual Coaching Practice

Confidence, intuition and leadership ability as well as empathy and more energy can be gained from a good spiritual coaching practice. A healthy spirit helps in every aspect of your business and everyday life. How will it help in your business? Next time you walk into a retail store or restaurant note the general attitude of the people working there. I can almost promise you if more than one person has a bad attitude, seems less than friendly or just plain unhelpful, the manager is the same way

Management Courses Morph into Leadership Development
Bosses who receive rave reviews search for the transformational aspects of working with direct reports rather than just the transactional “telling them what to do” side. They become a blend of the best of all worlds; leading from the heart and intuition coupled with logic and decisions of the mind.

What Do You Really Know About Labyrinths?
Labyrinths are amazing and versatile tools. People who walk them often experience an almost magical meshing of their analytical or rational mind with their intuitive and spiritual consciousnesses.

10 Ways to Ask the Client To Do Business With You
It is difficult to know when to ask a potential client or customer if he/she is ready to do business with you. More than that, it is frequently difficult to find the right words. Here are some suggestions of ways to ask for the business. Let your intuition guide you as to the timing of the question.

Moral Hazards of Metrics
Build on your awareness of moral hazards within business. Steve touches on seven moral hazards within business - quantitative versus qualitative; creativity, innovation and intuition can be put aside with metrics; no evolution, efficiency versus effectiveness; myopia; assumptions and biases; looking backwards not forwards. This article builds upon the work of Ron Baker of VeraSage Institute.

Lesson #3: Seize The Day

When Jobs was 17 years old, he read a quote that would stay with him forever: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then, he has looked himself in the mirror every morning and asked himself whether or not he would do the same thing that day if it were his last day alive. “Whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something,” he says.

Chipping His Way To The Top: Jobs’ Success Factors
“I want to put a dent in the universe,” Jobs once said. From the Apple I to the MacIntosh to the iPod, Jobs has come virtually close to achieving his goal, managing to make a name for himself in all of the business, entertainment and technological worlds. What did it take for him to get to the top?

Lesson #4: Use Your Intuition
“I only do what my gut tells me to,” says Lopez. “I think it’s smart to listen to other people’s advice, but at the end of the day, you’re the only one who can tell you what’s right for you.”

Lesson #4: Thrive On Change
Dell believes in the power of deriving strength from change. When speaking on the issue, he often makes a link between change and “the Chinese character for crisis which represents both danger and opportunity.” The success of his company has come about in large part due to Dell’s ability to not only withstand change, but also to take advantage of new opportunities.

Lesson #5: Create the Market Where There Is None
In 1950, the Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation had a problem on their hands. Morita and Ibuka had finally conceived and designed Japan’s first tape recorder by grinding up magnets and sticking the powder to strips of paper that they had covered with rice paste. The product worked, and they believed it had great potential, but as of yet, there was no demand.

Made in Japan: How Morita Became an International Success
“There is no secret ingredient or hidden formula responsible for the success of the best Japanese companies,” said Morita. “We all learn by imitating, as children, as students, as novices in the world of business. And then we grow up and learn to blend our innate abilities with the rules or principles we have learned.”

Lesson #2: Give Your Marketing a Mass Appeal
“Advertising and promotion alone will not sustain a bad product or a product that is not right for the times,” Morita once said. That, however, did not stop Morita from creating successful marketing campaigns that would help transform Sony from a local Japanese shop into a multinational corporate giant.

Cultivating Intuition
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American philosopher said "The primary wisdom is intuition." It is not just a theory; it is part of who we are. Without training we can happen upon it occasionally and we usually like the results when we follow our intuition.

The Truth About Creativity

The concept of creativity is over 50,000 years old and has always been an inherent talent in Homo sapiens -- human beings, as we know them now. It was not an inherent talent in Neanderthal man. Michael Ray, a Stanford professor who teaches a course on creativity, says that creativity exists within everyone. He believes that when people can’t tap into their creativity, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Instead, it means that the creativity is being suppressed by what he terms as the voice of judgment – what I term as the inner censor. That’s what gets the blame for destroying self-esteem.

The intuition vs. analysis conundrum
Let's say you've got a really good idea. And you've had good ideas before.

The Entrepreneur As Systems Thinker: Getting Down to Basics

In my last article, I discussed the unique quality that makes world class entrepreneurs different than simply owners of businesses. I said that true entrepreneurs are Systems Thinkers. I then went on to define that peculiar quality of systems thinking that true entrepreneurs are blessed with. (If you have not read that article, please do so. It will provide you with a platform of understanding to better relate to this article: Getting Down to Basics of Systems Thinking.)

The Higher Power of Intuition

Have you ever had a "gut" feeling and not listened? Most likely it cost you "big time." Ours is a culture that has not yet given full credence to the inherent wisdom of our spiritual nature. The fact is we have a source of intelligence within us that most of us seldom use; it's known as our intuition. Intuition is a sixth sense that seems directly connected to the creative intelligence of the Universe.

Chili and Your Intuition - 8 ingredients for making better strategic decisions

As a business owner or manager, what you ultimately rely on most when deciding your company’s future, is your intuition. The challenge with so many stakeholders relying on you to make the ‘right’ decision, is ensuring that your instincts are reliable. Effective leaders hone their intuition the way a chef cooks a pot of chili. Like chili, intuition needs to include the right ingredients and then be allowed to simmer a while. Here are eight ingredients for you to stew on...

Easily Increase Your Intuition

Do you live in the past, the present or the future? Might sound like an odd question, but the majority of people, entrepreneurs included, rarely are in the present. There is so much that goes on in your daily life, whether someone wants something from you, planning to take care of the things on your to-do list, or changing a part of your business for improved results. Thoughts will stray to something which already occurred or something about to happen. When your thoughts are either in the past or considering the future, you are not in the present.

Trigger Events - The Anatomy of Sales Wisdom
When a prospect says or does something it should trigger the salesperson's time machine, bringing him back to an important sales event where something like the current scenario took place before.

Let Time Bear Dividends for You
I have heard so often from people that “I don’t have time” or “There is so much to do, I just can’t catch up.” The truth is that we all have the same amount of time: 24 hours x 7 days. This is the only resource that we are given equally. The only difference is where and how we spend it. In my opinion, where and how we spend our time has the greatest effect on the results in our life.

"Do You Have the X Factor?"
Many of us watch talent shows on TV like the X Factor and feel that, while we admire those who are talented, we are not in the same class. Well, you are. You just need to get a few things right.

Growing Your Business Intuitively

We ended up in the worst recession since the Great Depression because we all collectively listened to the “experts.” Can we really do much worse than that on our own? I doubt it. So why not try a different approach? Try listening to your intuition when it comes to making business choices. Some of the most successful businesses have been built by those who listened to their gut and took the road less traveled...

What To Do When Stricken With Restlessness of the Heart

The Art of Growing Your Intuition: Journaling Your Way to Success

We all are intuitive on some level, although some people do not recognize it in themselves. Learn what your intuition is, and how it presents itself to you. Once you learn how to use and grow it, you will reach new heights in all aspects in your life. You intuition is the feelings and thoughts you receive regarding things, people and circumstances. Life.

Under Pressure – Are You A Winner or A Choker?

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to thrive under pressure? Surely there are people that do perform better under pressure; it’s as though the situation actually gives them more power, strength and determination. It is a matter of how they have learned or been conditioned to react to crisis situations. A crisis is a situation that can either make or break you. If you react well to a crisis, it can empower you with strength, wisdom, intuition, timing that you normally don’t possess. In order to perform well under pressure, we need to learn certain skills. Basically here's a short list of 5 attitudes and skills one must learn, exercise and develop to come out on top in crunch situations. Remember, above all else, that you are the key to any crisis situation. Learn and practice these simple techniques.

FINDING YOUR LIFE PUPOSE MINDFULLY
Living your life on purpose with a set of goals can easily be achieved especially when you learn to enjoy the journey rather than getting attached to the results, acknowledging and letting go of old patterns of thinking that no longer work, staying present and "being" in the action steps, and finally, trusting your inner wisdom which has always been there to guide you.

You Have the Right to...Have Feelings!

You Have the Right to...Have Feelings! I am woman...hear me Roar....and cry, laugh, be thoughtful, be selfish, have intuition, and feel sadness! You have the right to feel and express joy, inner strength, commitment, and fortitude, and be proud! You have the right to feel unbelievable sorrow and love; to feel accomplished, extraordinary, unique, nervous, optimistic, intense, funny, numb, pensive, flirty, and accepted!

The Six Pillars of Energy-Aware Entrepreneuring
One of the greatest benefits of being an entrepreneur is having the freedom to do what you want when you want… and that can be a bit daunting when you’re actually living it. With focus and proper support through the pillars of success for energy-aware entrepreneuring, you can find your way to freedom.

How To Focus On Your ‘Right’ Priorities
The word ‘right’ for me means right-brain, which translates to intuitively honoring the optimal choice or investment of time and energy. The right priorities are not always the obvious priorities.

Resistance and Resilience Reflect Each Other
Resistance is what we experience when we’re getting ready to do something that goes beyond what we know, expect or find familiar. It’s the thing that makes us have bad hair days, get paper cuts, drop the coffee, run late or lose the phone when we’re about to make big change. The ironic thing about it is that resistance shows up even when we actually want the change to happen.

What’s Complaining Really About?
What I have noticed is that many of us confuse being responsible with feeling accountable. How do we do that? Let’s begin with clarifying the distinction between both qualities.

People Don't Realize How Amazing They Are
People have capacity to invent their lives and create opportunities each and every day of their lives however as they see the world not as it is, but from their place within it, it often stops them from building on their greatness. Time to define how you want to see yourself and make it happen.

Fix the sales force you have

Would we expect any elite sporting team to enter a competition without a clear game plan, talent plan, fitness plan, business plan and action plan? No, of course not. We expect them to be aware, organised, focused and determined to play their best and aim to win. Well, more than 90% of sales people do not follow any logical process when selling. They are often left to their own devices and simply fly by the seat of their pants, relying on intuition and hoping for the best. They often cannot articulate their value proposition or know how they compare to the competition. Nor are they clear about what activities they need to do on a daily basis to achieve sales success. Most make it up. No wonder many don't meet business owners expectations.

The 10 Energetic Keys of Business: What Could Be Tripping You Up
Everything is energy; quantum physicists are proving that daily, and that includes your business. If your business feels stuck or you know it could be better, this is vital information you can use right away. Knowing these triggers as keys to unlocking your business potential can save you time, resources and money by identifying what you might not even recognize as an issue.

The Power of Practical Wisdom
To have practical wisdom means that you know when to innovate, when to bend the rules, when to be flexible, when to improvise a solution. No set of rules can give us what we want because they become inherently constrictive. And rules can often require the individual to sacrifice their own beliefs in order to adhere to the rule.

Don't Bet Your Business on the Numbers
Don't bet your business' future success just on the numbers. Numbers can't give you the gut feel that every executive, product owner and marketeer needs - especially if you're reinventing yourself and/or your company. Besides, as an old boss used to say, "Figures lie and liars figure".

The Art of Heart-Listening
Often when a person believes they are listening to another they are actually listening to the sound of their own internal dialogue, and waiting for their own opportunity to speak next. Even when a person is actively listening to another, they are usually just hearing and responding to the words that are being spoken.

Tap Into Possibility - From Romance to the Dance

Whether it be in relationships with significant others or starting a new career you are passionate about, the presence of love and enthusiasm fill you with intense emotions. Initially, there is an exhilaration that has you beaming from head to toe. The allure of discovering the unknown is enticing. The newness, the freshness, the beating of a joyful heart, the willingness to have new experiences are some of the attributes to the dance of romance. Tapping into awareness of possibilities that may have been out of your radar have risen to the top of your priorities.

Staying in any situation that is costing you peace of mind, self-worth, physical safety, your health… because of money can cost you more than you can imagine. Learn how to gain clarity about what your next business and life steps might be.

The Need to Achieve

The need to achieve is one of the more visible needs in our society. It fuels performance in the worlds of sports (Gold Medal anyone?), music, politics, media and certainly, business. We all have a need to achieve. At one level or another, everyone wants to succeed at something. An unfulfilled need for achievement leads to frustration, disappointment and a decreased sense of self-worth. Just think of a simple goal of getting to work on time and the silly red traffic light that prevents you from achieving that goal. Yep, you know the feeling, but these are not feelings we want our team (or ourselves!) to have.

How To Find The Fortune That Lies Hidden In Your Head

How do you begin to change your life for the better? Do you want a greater life, a better job, healthier lifestyle and a more loving relationship? Why is that many people today seem lost, confused and unsure of their life purpose. Could it be that the spark has faded from feeling overworked, under paid and stress is accumulating? What ever happened to your bright ideas? There is more to you than meets the eye, so how do you find this inner fortune that lies hidden when all you feel is confusion. Have you ever seen dust collect on furniture that over time begins to hide the real texture of the fabric? The piece of furniture hasn't changed, just the outer appearance has altered, so too your limiting thoughts can cover your truth and change your outlook on life. If your inner soul stays true then how can you discover the saboteur?

The Unlimited Power Within

An unlimited power to create lies within you. When you act on your Core Desires, the outcome is often far grander than you might imagine. "Outcomes are often not what I expect," said Wally, "and yet I always find myself feeling completely satisfied with the way things work out. When you have faith in the outcome, no matter what it may be, you cannot stop yourself from living and working with enthusiasm. As I put what I feel into action, I am filled with vitality and happiness." When Wally was forced out of his own cookie company, it seemed utterly unfair. But he refused to be a victim:

Personal Success Strategies - Attract Desired Relationships/Careers With Unseen Forces

Inspiration is spiritual intelligence available 24/7 - around the clock. What happens to most of us is we try to solve problems with the denser frequency of our brain. The irony is that logic comes from inspiration. The less we utilize the energy available to each of us from the unseen energy of imagination, the more limitation we put on the availability of our potential. We are beings of energy. Integration of the higher frequency of imagination and the denser frequency of physicality produces awareness to unlimited potential.

Why You Need To Trust Your Gut (But Don’t Take My Word For It)

In the twenty first century, facts are the guiding principles of the decisions and choices that most people make. We follow trends and research studies in determining what we eat wear and other major decisions. In constantly relying on facts, we have lost touch with our inner guiding system. We all have a source of inner guidance that goes beyond specific facts – the intuition. Through a series of steps, we can learn to cultivate and listen to our intuition.

Your Intuition is Speaking. Are You Listening?
The voice that says “YES, this is the right decision”, “No, let’s pass on this”, or even “Hmm, let’s mull this over a bit.” In each instance your voice within advises you to take action, even if it is in-action. But do you really listen to it, or do you scoff at the idea that you actually pay attention to your inner voice?

Its Just a Number

Age is a funny thing, it’s something that people want to speed up and slow down all within the span of a few years. As a child do you recall saying “I can’t wait until I’m all grown up?” I’ll bet that at some point in life you’ll also become wistful for a younger age. No matter which side of the longing scale you’re on, your age or lack there of need not be a deterrent for accomplishing your goals.

Small Business Tips to Hire Great Employees – Listen To Your Gut

Have you ever had a hunch? How about gut feel? All of these are euphemisms for intuition. Intuition is one of the most underrated business tools that exists for managers, with all successful leaders using it automatically in their day to day decision making. For 20 years I taught logical and rational decision making processes around people management to executives, but found that something was missing. Even the most rational and logical processes could go totally wrong unless intuition was allowed air time.

The Purpose of Work
Many people ask how to discover their life purpose, believing that when they find that, they will be able to find their ideal work. This is certainly the case, but no experience is wasted in life. While you are working on discovering your life purpose, what about learning the purpose of the work you are doing?

Why Women Entrepreneurs Differ from Men

“Many people perceive a style difference as the other person’s personal failing.” Deborah Tannen Have you noticed? Women and Men aren’t just dissimilar below the neck. They often act and express themselves differently as well. That is due to changes in an entirely different area than below the belt. It is their brain, which is located above the neckline. In general, she says “slow” and he says “go.”

Zen and the Art of The One Page Business Plan

Planning is a dialog. It starts deep within you. When it’s appropriate... you will begin the process of exposing the dialog to your external world. The initial form may be written notes, informal discussions with people you trust. When it’s appropriate, you will expand the dialog to your community. The dialog will grow stronger... or die. Remember when your mother told you to mind your business... maybe she was right. Your life... is your business. Two questions: - Who are you? - Who will you serve? Planning your business... is planning your life. The process of thinking before doing... is planning. Everyone has plans... every day! Sometimes the plans are important enough to put in writing. The successful have concise, clear plans and take action on them... and they may be in writing.

How to Cold Call With Respect

Well, if you keep trying to push people into something they don’t want, you increase the chances of them rejecting you.
