Deep dives
Following Feelings Over Rules in Pursuits
In this podcast episode, the speaker emphasizes the importance of following one's feelings rather than adhering strictly to rules. They argue that when individuals feel comfortable in a particular domain, they naturally trust their feelings and intuition, allowing them to navigate without relying on rules. However, newcomers often rely on rules until they develop a feel for the endeavor. The speaker shares a personal example from their business experience, highlighting how following rules led to missed opportunities. They assert that even in new endeavors, individuals can trust their feelings from the start, effectively navigating situations based on intuition rather than rigid rules.
Navigating Sales and Relationships by Feel
The podcast explores the idea of navigating sales and relationships based on feelings rather than rule-following. The speaker shares how their early reliance on the rule 'always be selling' both generated sales and put off potential clients. They argue that if individuals navigate by feel, they can discern appropriate moments for selling and avoid pushing people away. Similarly, the speaker challenges the rule of 'never go to bed angry' in relationships, suggesting that there are times when it is beneficial to postpone discussions until a better emotional state. By paying attention to feelings and intuition, individuals can make more informed decisions in both sales and relationships.
This week, Michael shares a simple distinction between what we think it takes to succeed and the thing that will actually take us all the way to success!
