Why Your Intuition Helps in Long-Term Strategic Planning

Welcome

How Intuitive are You?

I'm asking because I'd truly love to know.

My intuition has long been the main factor in how I make decisions, for good or bad. That's how I knew I had to go to California in June. I could sense that this was going to be one of those life-changing trips that I would one day look back on and cherish as a pivot point in my life. And now that I'm back home, I can already tell that it will be - no question about it.

The beauty of getting out of your element is often what helps you grow as a person, and sometimes taking risks like that goes against all common sense.

Did I know this was going to be an expensive summer? Yes.

Did I know that I would go without much sleep for a couple of weeks? Yes.

Would I miss seeing my immediate family for some time? Of course.

But I knew I had to go.

My intuition has never once failed me, and I trust it so much that I never ignore it. I simply can't.

The decision to spend a couple of weeks in California went against logic and the facts at hand, but in this case, I chose to follow my heart.

And you know what's funny?

When I met some of those new connections and asked them about their career paths, and how they've gotten to where they are today, the resounding answer was "I just followed that little voice inside."

Go figure.

Your intuition must be a part of the equation when you're making decisions, especially on a long-term strategic roadmap.

Far too many hold themselves back because they're afraid to take risks.

...But what is the cost of NOT taking that risk that you're thinking about?

That's the real question, and it's worth answering.

Success Story

My to-do list was full of projects that sat for weeks, months... a long time, and weren't getting done. The lightbulb moment was when I realized they didn't belong on that list at all.

Believe it or not, but the holiday season is soon upon us... which means it’s time to set goals for a strong end-of-year quarter. I love Q4. It means family time, snowy landscapes, and sipping hot chocolate by a cozy fireplace… at least if you’re on my side of the globe. If you’re on the other side of the globe, it might mean sunshine and a strong sea breeze. That’s never wrong either. Regardless of your view though, let's come together to plan abundant bank accounts that we can use to spread...

July 2024 Productivity Report: When Preparation Meets Opportunity, You're Unstoppable

Creating Space · August 2024 · Vol. 6 When Preparation Meets Opportunity, You're Unstoppable Welcome What are You Preparing for? "Preparation" is a funny word to me. On most days, I'm like a boy scout: always prepared. 🤣 I guess that's the organizer in me. That being said, I rarely know what I am preparing for... it's often a bit fuzzy. There are hints here and there, sure, but nothing concrete. But then seemingly from out of nowhere, a new opportunity opens up. And I take it. Every time. A...

Creating Space · June 2024 · Vol. 4 The Best Kind of Productivity Creates Impact & Opportunity Welcome Productivity = Impact Productivity applies to all areas of your life. Most people think about productivity just in context of work, and that’s where they go wrong. They start telling themselves that they’re not productive if they’re not working. That’s a very slippery slope, which often leads to negative burnout. Productivity comes through in everything – in life, and at work – and those...
