Trust Your Instincts!



This is potentially lethal piece of advice. And yet, for me, it seperates the wannabes from the gonnabes. Perhaps, in the end, it is the difference between an attentive eternal lieutanant and the pirate captain who comes to won the ship.

You are not attempting to be a manager, or even a businessman. You are concerned with the getting of money. You must go with your gut. After that, the managers and the bean counters and financial advisors can take over. But only afterwards.

Trust your instincts. Avoid being a slave to them, but when those instincts are screaming Go! Go! Go! it is time for you to decide whether you really wish to be rich or not. You cannot do this in deliberate, considered manner. You cannot get rich painting by numbers. You can achieve it only as a lone predator: by out-waiting rivals; by remaining alert, constantly sniffing the air; by bringing murderous force to bear upon your prey.

And to do so without consulting anyone or anything but the secret servant of your compulsion.

Share the kill later, by all means. But if you want to get rich, trust your judgement when it calls - and leave those whos job it is to manage your business to pick up the pieces They can have the lesser quality bits.

But the heart and liver are yours!

  8. I don't agree with this. Instincts should have nothing to do with important decision makings e.g. business opportunities or investments.

    Getting rich should be a cold, calculated plan that shows one has done his research. It's not a matter of sniffing the air and trusting your guts like some sort of animal.

    I guess I'm just the kind of guy that doesn't believe in instincts more so in hard work and dedication.

  9. I think it is a mix of both. Have a cold calculated plan.. but adjust for instinct.

  11. Not sure about this either. A bit of instincts can't hurt, but I think you should be as methodical as possible with your approach. Interesting blog though.

  15. You ca be lucky, but as said above, getting rich normally is a plan, cold-thinked with years.

    But yes, you always can stay in the place at the hour, but normally it didn't happen

  31. From all the comments it feels like people are choosing one or the other, when they all tie into each other. Your instincts will help you in the methodology and planning. Everything works together like clockwork.

  33. i read somewhere that your more evolved instincts come from your experience and your sub conscious alter ego and how it works.
