Trusting your intuition to make business decisions doesn’t have to be hard
Trusting your intuition can be a powerful tool in business, but trusting it is hard when you’re not sure how.
Intuition is often seen as something that only works for people who are “gifted” or “psychic.” But trusting your intuition doesn’t have to be complicated. There are many ways you can tap into your intuition and use it to make decisions about the future of your company.
In this post, we’ve compiled tips for trusting your intuition in business settings, including how to access and trust what’s inside of you. We’ve also included a case study of a business owner who benefited from trusting his own intuition.
What is intuition and where does it come from?
Intuition is a combination of feeling, logic, experiences, and what we know to be true (our own instincts or sense of things).
All of your memories, whether happy or sad, get stored in the brain as data. When we subconsciously see patterns, or we tap into the subconscious intentionally, the brain and gut both start firing neurochemicals that give us the instant sense about whether something feels right or wrong.
Your intuition is drawing from years and years of experiences gathered and stored as sights, sounds, interactions, and experiences. All of this data gets processed within the human body as a whole much faster than just relying on rational thought and data analysis.
How to access your intuition
There are many ways to access your intuition.
Some people say that they just “know” things. This is often a result of all those neurochemicals getting fired in the brain and gut at the same time giving you an instant answer. Others say that their intuition comes to them in dreams or as a physical sensation in their body.
You can also access your intuition through a process of quieting the mind and letting go of logical thinking. This can be done through practices such as meditation, prayer, or simply taking a few deep breaths and focusing on the present moment.
When you quiet the mind, you allow yourself to access the wisdom of the body and the intuition that resides within you.
How to trust your intuition
The first step to trusting your intuition is to become aware of it. Once you start paying attention to those “gut feelings” or quiet inner voices, you can begin to trust them more.
It’s also important to remember that your intuition is not always right. However, if you’ve been paying attention to your intuition and trusting it, more often than not, you’ll find that it’s a powerful tool that can help you make better decisions.
How to use your intuition in business settings
There are many ways to use your intuition in business.
One way is to use it to make decisions about the future of your company. If you’re feeling uncertain about a particular decision, take some time to quiet your mind and listen to your intuition.
You can also use your intuition when networking or meeting new people. If you get a good feeling about someone, trust it and see where the relationship goes.
You can also use your intuition to help you identify opportunities. If you have a gut feeling about something, follow up on it and see if it’s worth pursuing.
How to make decisions with your intuition
If you’re trying to make a difficult decision, there are a few things you can do to help you trust your intuition.
First, gather all of the facts and information about the situation. Once you have all of the information, you can start to quiet your mind through something like meditation or a walk in nature and listen for that inner voice.
Your inner voice may speak to you through a sensation or strong feeling in your body, such as a heaviness in your stomach or a cringed-up face. Or it can show up through your inner senses, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and feeling. It can be very helpful to start paying closer attention to your body and how it reacts in situations.
Another helpful tip is to write down your options and then sleep on it. Often, the answer will come to you in a dream or during meditation.
You can also allow yourself to get creative to access your subconscious mind and intuition. Drawing, painting, writing, and journaling are great ways to access your inner guidance.
Case study of a business owner who has benefited from trusting their intuition
One of my favorite things to do with business owners is to help them access their intuition so they can make big business decisions and learn to trust themselves.
Many times, the ONLY thing holding people back from starting a business or growing a business is they are listening to all the outer “noise” telling them it’s too hard or impossible.
A perfect example of how quickly you can grow a business fast by using your intuition is my 19-year-old client, Christian. When he came to me, he was straight out of high school, and he was getting an intuitive “hit” to buy a trailer and start a demolition cleanup company. Christian was struggling because everyone around him was telling him to find a local job and get his start in life by working for someone else.
Christian, on the other hand, was feeling led to start his own business and invest in assets and equipment. He came to me because he was battling a few fears of his own as well as a lot of opinions from friends and family that he was making a bad decision and taking too great of a risk.
Once we got Christian clear on what his intuition was telling him and that it was OKAY to take some aligned steps, he was able to make the decision to invest in a trailer.
Just days after that decision, the local area was hit with extremely high winds, and as a result, trees fell over and were uprooted all over town. Homeowners and business owners were reaching out on local neighborhood apps to find landscaping crews to come clean up the mess.
Christian jumped on the opportunity and put the word out about his new cleanup demo business using a few easy marketing methods. Within days, he was booking jobs for $2000 to $6000 each!

The benefits of trusting your intuition in business
These intuitions and “nudgings,” as I like to call them, come to us all the time, but we need to learn how to “hear” them, trust them, and act on them quickly to truly benefit from them. Otherwise, if we wait or ignore them, we miss them, and they just pass us by.
Actually, the crux of the work I do with business owners is to help them learn to trust themselves and their intuition so they can take HUGE leaps in their business. This often involves coaching and encouraging them to make business decisions that feel scary, but “right” to them. These business owners will claim to have a deep knowing, desire, or feeling that this next step is necessary to catapult them into their next level, but they have never learned to trust these feelings and knowings.
Learning to trust intuition is a process because there’s a logical part of us that wants to take over. It’s often this logical part that holds us back. The logical part can also be hypercritical, judgmental, analytical, and perfectionistic, creating a situation where you hold yourself back until things seem “just right.” This can create a delay in taking the necessary actions that might be needed to help you improve upon on tweak a situation that might not have been revealed without messy action-taking.
Again, trusting nudgings can be difficult in a society that judges these intuitions as “crazy” or insignificant, but many times, the “craziest” ideas come to us outside of logic and reason.
I’ve seen business owners learn to trust their intuition and immediately see a shift in outcomes with their business. Many of them who have been stuck at certain income levels for months or years discover that when they start trusting their intuition more and taking aligned steps, they suddenly sign more clients, or even better, they find ways to sign fewer higher level, higher ticket clients.
Here are 10 tips for trusting your intuition in business
1. Listen to your body
Your body is always giving you information, and it’s essential to learn how to listen to it. If you’re getting a physical reaction to something, there’s usually a message behind it. For example, if you’re considering working with a certain client but you get a knot in your stomach when you think about it, that’s usually a sign to stay away. Start to understand your own Yes’s and No’s and what they feel like in your body.
2. Follow your heart
Your heart knows what’s best for you, even if your mind doesn’t yet understand it. If you’re feeling called or nagged to do something, even if it seems scary, follow that call. It’s often where your greatest growth and expansion lie.
3. Trust your gut when making decisions
Your gut instinct is usually right, so if you’re feeling uneasy about something, trust that feeling and act accordingly. Learning to trust yourself is the key to success in business. The more you trust yourself, the easier it gets to let go of what isn’t working and say yes to what is working.
4. Get clear on your values and what you want.
Your values are the things that are most important to you. Knowing them can help you be more in touch with what you like and don’t like. They can also give you a clearer picture of what you want and where you are headed. Check out this free guide and get a values worksheet to help you discover your values.
5. Take time to meditate or do some form of relaxation regularly.
Meditation is a great way to help you direct your focus inwards and take a break from all the distractions and outside “noise.” When you are able to get fully relaxed, often your intuition will kick in and reveal answers to you naturally.
6. Pay attention to your dreams and write them down.
Your dreams can be a gateway into your subconscious mind and what you truly desire. Keeping a dream journal can help you start paying closer attention to your dreams to discover what might be bothering you or trying to get your attention.
7. Keep a journal
Use a journal to document when you have had a strong intuitive feeling that later proved to be correct. This will help you see how your intuition works for you, and you can easily recognize it when it reappears in the future.
8. Be open to guidance
When you’re trying to make a decision, be open to guidance from your intuition. It might come in the form of a hunch, a dream, or a sign from the universe. Pay attention to these guidance signals and act on them. The more open you are, the more you allow guidance to flow.
9. Don’t be afraid to take risks and inspired actions
Trusting your intuition doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting for things to happen for you. The best way to build trust in yourself and your intuition is to take risks and inspired actions when you are guided to do so.
10. Follow your bliss
When you’re following your bliss, everything else falls into place. When you’re doing what you love, it’s easier to trust your intuition because you’re in alignment with your true purpose.
Your intuition is the key to success in your business and life
Trusting your intuition can be a powerful tool in business and life. By practicing following your heart, trusting your gut, and being open to inner guidance, you can make decisions that feel right to you and help you grow your business fast. The more you practice paying attention to your gut feelings, the easier it gets to know when something feels right to you or when something feels off. When you learn to use this information to your benefit, bigger decisions actually feel easier. So don’t be afraid to trust your intuition—it just might be the best decision you ever make.
