Listen To Your Gut
Are you happy doing what you’re doing? No this is not a sales pitch. I want the honest answer. No strings attached. Actually I already know the answer to this question, because I know you’re not getting the results you want and I say that with complete confidence – I know you want more for two simple reasons.
1. You found your way to this blog and you are reading it.
2. It’s human nature and we all want more health, wealth and love (we need to have before we can give)
You have to be really passionate about what you’re doing otherwise you will get stuck in the process. But today I really wanted to talk to you about your most reliable resource/skill, not really sure what to call it without spilling the beans.
Not very long ago I had a personal student in a MLM business come to me with an issue and asked for an unusual advice. The reason I was a bit unusual was due to the fact that this kid actually made good money with his business.
His issue was the product he sold. It didn’t really get him excited and the people in his business were not the kind of people he wanted to hang out with. (Don’t ask me what that specifically means, because I honestly don’t know.) But for whatever reason the people in his business he had to deal with was seedy individuals and the product was just something he promoted to make a quick buck.
To be quiet honest, I don’t like coming out and telling people what to do in situations like that. Here’s what I said to him…
One of the most valuable skills one can have is the ability to listen to one’s gut.
Personally I’ve learned this the hard way and especially with the ladies. If my gut told me she was not worth my time I didn’t really listen. You guys know exactly what I’m talking about, right?! Actually, gals you know it damn as well. It’s a fact that guys tend to become a little more naive the more attractive we find the female.
Ignoring my gut was a costly mistake – over and over again back in the days. Professionally, my gut has cost me some big bucks as well.
You know what? Your gut can signal good people to you, too. It’s a two-way street. Your gut can get you a smokin’ deal as well.
I had the opportunity to make an investment in a program, I didn’t really know the people behind the program, I didn’t know the person calling my phone, basically I didn’t know anything – other than my gut told me that this program was the right for me.
I gave this stranger my credit card information and he charged my card for several thousands, which I felt really bad about for a second – but my got told me it was the right decision to make.
To this day it has been the best professional decision I’ve ever made. I listened to my gut and luckily for me it turned out just unbelievable. It has just been GREAT. I’m so grateful I listened to my gut and not that little sceptical inner voice.
It’s not easy at first to discern the conflicting voices inside. But little by little you begin to see through the haze and hear that inner voice more clearly. I told this person that if he ignored his gut today it would be harder to detect its voice at all tomorrow.
Never disconnect your most reliable weapon/skill/instrument. I think he’ll do the right thing. And in the process he’ll learn a great lesson. Don’t let the money or the greed control you. You are in charge of your life and you can make money by doing something you think is enjoyable – I promise.
Listen to your gut.
