    47. Integrating Your Head, Heart & Intuition Into Your Decision Making

    47. Integrating Your Head, Heart & Intuition Into Your Decision Making

    We all attempt to make logical decisions with our businesses and careers. But we usually are in the dance world because of our heart. Why do we not let the two work together to create a higher chance of success? And why is our intuition our last thing we check in with when making big decisions?

    I dive into answering these questions that I have been thinking on for awhile, and teach you a skill on how to utilize all 3 together from now on.

    Highlights:


    What the difference between our head, heart and intuition is
    How to connect them
    Why our careers have suffered because we didn't
    My personal experience applying this new process
