“I don’t feel comfortable here. I don’t like the sound of this. This doesn’t look right to me.�

With regard to your body or surroundings, your instincts are your best early warning system. Listen to the inner voice. Listen to that gut feeling. Go to the doctor. Leave the party. Get away from these people. Quit this job. Don’t open that door. Duck into that store. The world is an imperfect place. There are dangerous places and people.

Every once in a while, your instincts may be off and you may feel foolish. Err on the side of safety and your instincts may save you from danger. Give yourself time or space to consider your options. It is foolhardy to do otherwise.

As your knowledge base grows, you instinctively know what will work and what won’t.

There may be family pressure to hire your troubled bother-in-law. You know this is a bad idea. You are a business person and not a social worker. Find some other way to help him. Do not hire him.

You drive by an old building and you immediately see this building transformed into your next successful busi­ness location. While others are skeptical and hesitant, you know it will work.

You observe an enthusiastic young woman working at your local coffee shop. When a customer has a problem, she smiles and solves the problem. When business is slow, she finds chores to do. She is a good worker. You make her an offer to work for your company.

Many times you don’t have to do lot of soul searching. You don’t have to call a committee meeting before you take action. You get the facts. You know what to do. You feel it in your gut. If you do feel it, know it, then go ahead and do it. Odds are, you’ll be right.
