When I am working with clients and there is a decision to be made one of my favourite questions that I ask clients is What does your gut tell you? A small percentage (less than 10%) will tell me what their gut is telling them. the other 90% usually have one of the following responses:

• I don’t trust my gut
• I don’t know, I never listen to it anyways
• I don’t have a gut instinct, it’s why I have advisors
• My gut is usually wrong

Everyone has a gut instinct or response to a decision they should be making and you need to start listening to it. It will save you more times than it will fail you (and yes, sometimes your gut instinct will be wrong) but the more you begin listening to it the stronger it will become

I sat down with a colleague and good friend of mine today over lunch and he expressed how business was going and in passing admitted that he agonizes over making the “wrong decisions” when it comes to marketing and building his business. I told him that I see this happening with business owners over and over where they go back and forth on a decision and essentially becomes ‘paralyzed’ because of the fear of taking a mis-step. When it comes to building business I always err on the side of “Action is better than inaction, even if it is the wrong action”. Don’t sit and wait for a “sign” of when to market your business or get out there and build it because it is never going to come, you need to take action. One of my favorite sayings is “No Happiness without Action” and “There is always another prospect standing over the last prospect’s shoulder”.Get out there and take action to build business. Don’t wait, do it now.
