This is a hard time for business owners and I don’t have the answers.  No one has the answers because we’ve never been in this situation before.  And even if someone claims to have the answers, there are always different solutions and paths for different people.  This is a philosophy that I’ve embraced throughout my business.

Sometimes as a business owner, you feel lost and don’t have the answers.

When you’re feeling untethered it seems logical to look outside of yourself for answers. 

And even if someone claims to have the answers, there are always different solutions and paths for different people.

This is a philosophy that I’ve embraced throughout my business.

There is no one size fits all or exact formula for success. Every business owner deserves a tailored approach to marketing that works for them.

That is why this moment feels like the perfect time to share my thoughts about how to use your intuition in your business.

I thought about writing about this last month but my intuition guided me to a different topic. How’s that for a meta example?

Because there is actually one person who does know what to do next in your business, and it’s you.

You may not feel like you know what to do because everything is so chaotic.

But if you are quiet, and listen, you can access your own intuition.

This may work for you by meditating or taking a walk in the woods.

This post on Deepak Chopra’s website shares five ways to develop your intuition

The more attention and energy you give to nurturing this ability, the more you will sharpen it.

“Intuition does not come to an unprepared mind.” Albert Einstein

If the word intuition is too airy-fairy for you, try on the word instinct.

“Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.” Oprah Winfrey

The point is to ignore what other business owners are doing and do what is right for you.

So if you need to go inward and take some time off, go ahead.

If you’re feeling motivated to create something brand new, then follow that whisper.

Or maybe you see a way to shift your business so that you can continue to serve your clients in spite of the current situation.
