When you encounter a problem in your business, how do you handle it? Do you try to "figure it out," turning it over and over in your head until you find the solution? Or do you release control and trust your intuition?

There can be a balance between analytical problem solving and connecting with your deeper wisdom. The head, heart, and gut can all work together to tackle problems. And, sometimes, you need a little guidance from the Universe.In this episode, I'm sharing my journey to "hiring" the Universe as a collaborator in my business and my life. I'm talking about my first experiences with receiving signs from the Universe, how I learned to trust my intuition, and simple ways you can start communing with and accepting guidance from the Universe.

What you'll find in this episode:

• Why many entrepreneurs are hesitant to place trust in the Universe
• How to practice and embrace intuitive problem solving
• Learning to trust nudges from the Universe
• My journey to trusting the signs the Universe sends me
• How to develop a "language" of signs with the Universe
• Overcoming self-doubt in order to open yourself up to intuitive messages
• How to start communing with the Universe in your life and business
