Have you ever felt inspired? Like the time that one brilliant idea that just popped in your mind one moment in the shower? Now compare that to that nagging thought that continually pops into your head: “I should take advantage of that franchise opportunity”. It returns to you over and over again. Is that a sign you should do it? Or is there something deeper at work?
Caitlin and I discuss how to tell the difference between listening to your “gut” in those moments of inspiration versus acting based on what your ego is telling you to do.
