I Had a 'Hunch' That Would Happen!

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Listening to your inner voice. Do you ever get a hunch? Sure you do - everyone does. It’s that intuition-like sensation deep inside of you that tries to sway your decision ... and then the hunch you had was right! Maybe you’ve said ... I have a bad feeling about this ... and got out of trouble in the nick of time - that’s also a hunch. Hunches are not guesses, they are rooted in fact and should be taken seriously. Listen to this podcast episode as we look at hunches, what causes them, and the power that 5-second decisions can have on career success and business growth.

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An Entrepreneur and Intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.
