Never underestimate the power of Inner Guidance to help your business thrive.

Using all the resources at your disposal naturally brings you greater success in your business. Sales, marketing, number crunching, and data analysis are helpful, but you have another tool available. Your Inner Guidance is an integral part of who you are. It’s probably been growing and developing for years. And yet, most don’t think about using it to their advantage in business.

Here are 7 strategies to enhance your business with your Inner Guidance:

1. Sit quietly with your mistakes. Most of us want to avoid our mistakes. They create too much discomfort. But mistakes have always been a primary way that humans learn. Embrace your mistakes by sitting quietly and examining the source of your error. How much would your business be enhanced if you put things in place so those mistakes didn’t happen again?
2. Set your intentions high. Get in touch with your Inner Guidance and realize how great and successful your business could become when you bring all of you to the table. Set a big exciting goal and stick to it. Most substantial goals aren’t met because an easier goal reveals itself along the way. Easy goals are great and big goals are greater! Use the power of high intentions and be consistent.
3. Let go. Learn to forgive and move on. That includes forgiving yourself. Learn from challenges and then release yourself from them. Holding on to a grudge or the past negatively affects you and your business.
4. Allow your Inner Guidance to guide your business. Logic and quantification have their place in any business, but the most successful businesses have much more guiding their decisions. Trust your Inner Guidance and intuition when the data runs out.
5. Be enthusiastic about the unknown. It’s only necessary to see the next step clearly. Everything else might be a bit murky and that’s okay. Any impressive accomplishment has at least a bit of the unknown.
6. Meditate on challenges. Getting upset by challenges is similar to a reflex. It’s possible to develop a more effective habit. Meditate on your business challenges and calmly seek a solution.
7. Show gratitude. To feel gratitude, you must first focus on those things for which you’re thankful. Take a few minutes each day and feel gratitude for each of the things that bring you joy or satisfaction in your business. At the very least, it will create a more positive state of mind.

Are you currently using your Inner Guidance to your advantage in your business? If not, you’re ignoring a great source of direction and strength. Give your Inner Guidance the priority it deserves and apply it to your business activities. You’ll have a significant advantage over those who do not.
