“Being able to understand what’s actually happening, removing the interpretation and the stories that you can tell about what you think is actually happening. is a key component to being able to separate yourself from any of the bullshit that could flood your system. Once you’re able to do that, you can then actually get to your intuition.”

In this episode, Nick discusses a recent experience of making major life decisions and changes by trusting his intuition and insight as to how you can make decisions through your intuition. Sometimes, life seems to throw curveballs at us, while other times, we seem to summon our own curveballs. Nick found the intuition to be like a muscle that needs to be worked, or it will atrophy.

What to listen for

How I stacked multiple life changes in a window of 45 days

Why I believe our intuition is like a muscle that, if not worked,d will atrophy

What is a “winning strategy”?

How our interpretation of events drastically changes the way we move through the event and after

“I’ve changed up a lot of things that I’m doing. And recently, I’ve been diving deeper and deeper into who I am, my personality, my personality type, what I’m really made of, and why I’ve made a lot of the decisions that I’ve made over the course of my life.”

Understanding our personality type helps us understand why we act and react the way we do

When we understand what our winning strategy is, we can change the way we view our lives

Why trusting our instincts isn’t all woo-woo but divine messaging to us

“I have really tried to figure out how do I do the best that I can in a very entrepreneurial way. Like I remember even saying to the company I was at most recently, I was like, I don’t give a fuck who’s at the top. I own what I can own.”

Our position in a company shouldn’t determine the things we can or can’t do to make for a better situation for all around us

Understanding your role in your company or the company you work with

As an entrepreneur, it’s in our blood to ask “Why?” and to take ownership

“I’ve struggled with my intuition, literally struggled with it. I’ve gotten to the point over the course of, I’d say the past maybe five or ten years, really working on the muscle of my intuition. And having conversations with God, having conversations with my intuition, which I think are all basically about the same anyway, and really being able to pull that knowledge, that universal knowledge.”

If we don’t use our intuition, it’ll become atrophied or so muted we can’t hear it at all

How our intuition speaks to us and how we can best listen

The three steps I use to tap into my intuition and to follow its guidance
