Dean Graziosi delivers a short motivational talk (Weekly Wisdom #350) urging viewers to "trust your gut." He argues the subconscious accumulates data that informs gut instincts, illustrates with examples (relationships, product ideas, team decisions, shower-inspired ideas), and notes that others may doubt those instincts. He closes with a call-to-action to download his books at deansfreebook.com.
Hey, everybody.
Dean Graziosi, welcome to the Weekly Wisdom. I have a really cool message for you today. Trust your gut. Trust your gut. How many times in life have you just had a feeling, hey, I shouldn't work with that person, I shouldn't date that person, I shouldn't be friends with that person. But then you talk yourself into it and months, year later, you look back, go, ah, why didn't I listen to my what? It's your gut, right?
How many times did you have an.
Idea for a product, oh my God, this product's incredible, I'm going to make it. Then tell a friend or family member and they say, oh, that won't work, or you can't get on tv or you're not smart enough, that's only for rich people. And then a year later, two years.
Later, your product's on TV and you're like, oh, my God, I thought about that. I should have went with my what?
My gut. You see, our subconscious is significantly, multiple times stronger than our conscious mind.
And if you look at your subconscious.
Like a hard drive on a computer, it's taking in data. This is good, this is bad. This makes me happy, this makes me sad. This is me. That's not me takes in all this. So when you think a gut reaction is just, oh, I just guessed.
No, that's your subconscious that has all this data. It knows.
It took me years to trust my.
Gut, you know, and the other thing too is a lot of other people don't trust your gut.
So my team, my team has grown. And sometimes I'll have an idea in.
The shower, just like that, three seconds, oh my God. I'll go to the office. Go, guys. I was in the shower this morning, I had this idea and they're all.
Looking at me like, alright, this gut decision.
And then I decided it was hard for them to buy in. So I come to my office and I'd say, hey, everybody, I've been thinking.
About this for a month and I.
Finally narrowed down my decision. This is what we should do. And everybody said, hell yeah. And it's the same decision. People are afraid to trust their gut. Guys, if I look back at my.
Career, my gut is what got me here. And when I went against my gut.
I held myself back to me.
My gut is my heart, my soul, my subconscious telling me what to do. So my message today is, trust your gut. It's smarter than you think. That's my quick message for today. If you're watching me on iTunes or YouTube or on Facebook, go to deansfreebook.com that's deansfreebook.com.
