2000th Post- How I made 16k making a simple phone call

Well I had planned on a really cool surprise for Warriors to celebrate my 2000th post but I'll make it up to you soon

I read a ton of business books and For some reason lately I've been following Donald Trumps' books the last several weeks. The guy is a freakin working machine.

I really admire his business philosphy and he kind of sucks me into his books when he tells you what to do, and what not to do, he goes on to describe specific real life stories of both his successes and failures.

One of the aspects of his business philosphy is to go with your "gut" feeling. Its sounds kind of stupid and non sophisticated as a way to stear through the business jungle waters, but it really does work.

I have been recently following my gut feeling on several decisions, issues and business dealings over the several weeks and a few days ago it really payed off (litterally)

I was procrastinating for a few days on whether I should make a specific phone call to a certain person, well actually, I really didn't know if I even wanted to call the guy at all.

Anyways, I took Donalds approach to following my gut feeling.

He says many times you can get an actuall physical feeling in your gut about some decisons your dealing with or an instinctive gut feeling that you should follow.

So I gave the guy a call based soley on my "gut" feeling and I hit a nice payday in the tune of about 16k.

Now, this 16k I will not see for a few months but it was the fact that I was blown away making the call based entirely on my gut feeling.

I really would like to give details about the 16k but its a very personal (and business) issue and the money wasn't really my point here,but the fact that following your gut can lead to good things and smart choices.

I've had numerous other "gut" decisons over the last few weeks and almost all of them worked in my favor.

So if you want to try a unique method to really getting what you want and need in 2009 go with your "gut" feelings on your decisions, dealings and let us all know how that works out for you.

I think you'll be blown away how well this works.

The trick is to conciously be aware that when a decision comes around to just go with your gut instinct.

To your continued success in 2009!
