Following Your Intuition to Make Decisions in Your Business - a podcast by Amanda King

“I lost a client this morning and I knew she wasn't the right client. I knew it deep down in my f*cking soul. But my ego drove me because, of course, I want sales and of course, I want money. So I accepted her into something, and then she decided to leave and I knew it was going to happen. And I lost her this morning and we both ended on really good terms. I wish her nothing but the best of success, as I'm sure she does me as well. But I should have never allowed it to get that far.”

 

This week on the Fierce as F*ck Podcast, we’re talking all about following your intuition and learning from the times you don’t. 

 

Recently, instead of listening to my gut saying this client wasn’t the right fit for me, I listened to the ego that told me, “There's only one of her. You'll be able to handle it. You don’t want to lose the money, right? You don’t want to lose clients!” So I accepted this client into a program, and then she decided to leave - just like I knew would happen. But it’s powerful to admit that I f*cked up and I could’ve been a better leader or a better role model or just plain better. 

 

That’s why I want all coaches to know this: if you don’t listen to your gut and something goes wrong, YOU have got to be the one who takes responsibility. Just like you need to LET GO of all of the clients that don't feel good to you because every time you release something that does not serve you, you call in something so much bigger and better that does.

 

And at the end of this year - or even at the end of each month - I strongly encourage you to not just focus on what you want to do next, but to also ask yourself hard questions like: 

• Where did I f*ck up this last month or year?
• What do I not want to do next year?
• Where do I not want to repeat these same mistakes? 

 

Because if you do the inner work and you learn to choose intuition over ego, your life can change. And if you go through reflection and you own what you did right and what you did wrong, there's so much power in that.
