Introduction What is Intuition and why is it critical to business success? Intuition is a way of receiving information about your environment that is not directly evident to your senses or to your reasoning mind. In life, it can tell you much about a person, and in business it is the way you perceive a market so that you can offer your most profitable response given the skills, talents, and experience you already have. Intuition is knowing where to focus your attention so you concentrate your efforts into the right business path. How can we use our Intuition? - To gather information (What strategy is our competitor planning?)
- To solve problems (What is the best way to resolve the budget dispute?)
- To spot opportunities (What new markets for my company’s products will develop in the next year?)
- To create (What should I name my new company?)
- To decide (What will convince my boss to give me a raise?)
- To plan (What is the best way to expand our company’s market share?)
- To evaluate (Which of these job offers should I take?)
- To predict (What will the Dow Jones average be in six months?)
- To time (When is the best time to buy a house?)
Answer the ten questions to create your personal wealth plan: - What is my business world? (It’s bigger than you think)
- What does this person, or company, or market – want? (Careful: They might not even know)
- What do I want (You can and should have it all) and what do I have to offer in exchange? (It’s always more than you think)
- What is the best fit between my needs and the market’s? (There’s always a creative solution to achieving integrity: the balance point where everyone wins)
- What steps must I take to achieve this goal? (Plan for tomorrow today)
- How can I best present myself, and what I am offering? (To sell your product, service, or skill, you must “speak” in a language your market understands and responds to)
- How can get others to help me? (You must understand and satisfy their needs too)
- How can I prevent others from interfering (Again, you must consider their needs)
- How can I anticipate and overcome obstacles? (It’s possible to solve problems before they arise)
- How can I stay ahead of my market to respond to their changing needs and opportunities? (Success in the marketplace is not a static thing)
