In life and business, we often face decisions where the "right" answer isn’t always clear. While data, advice, and logic all play critical roles, there’s one element that sometimes gets overlooked—our gut instinct. There are moments where logic might tell us one thing, but deep down, we feel pulled in a different direction. Ignoring that gut feeling can sometimes lead to missed opportunities or poor decisions. In my experience, success is often tied to having the courage to trust your instincts, even when others might disagee. To clarify, following your gut doesn’t mean acting recklessly. It’s about understanding yourself—your values, your strengths, and your experiences—and letting those guide you when the path forward isn’t obvious. This intuitive sense is something that can be sharpened over time, especially when paired with reflection and learning. Whether you’re trying to make a sale, start a business, or navigate a tough conversation, your instincts can serve as a compass. If something feels off, it’s worth pausing and reconsidering. On the flip side, when something feels right—even if it doesn’t make perfect sense in the moment—it’s worth exploring that further. I've had this effect the way that I make sales many times. There's a fine line between pushing someone away, and pushing them towards committing to your pitched items/solution. Sometimes it's worth it to push too far and lose a sale in an effort to learn where that line truly lies. Everybody has their own techniques for selling, and learning where the boundaries fall best in your technique, and your field, is immensely important to maximizing sales. It's important to learn how not to get too excited for or committed to what is a bare minimum sale, that could have been something more. At the end of the day, trusting your gut is about believing in yourself and your ability to navigate the unknown. If you combine that trust with thoughtful action, you set yourself up for a more authentic and fulfilling journey, both personally and professionally!

I’m only about a week late in posting but I have been busy from dawn to dusk after the political campaign that I’m working on won its election by over 72%. This win absolutly shattered the former state record for a statewide primary election victory. Now on to November 5th.
