It is important because it is not just a feeling but something else. It can never be wrong, even if the situation tells you the opposite. There may be facts and feelings are not facts but gut feelings are not just any feeling, they come from your intuition. And by that, we gain trust from ourselves. Trust for what we decide. Trusting ourselves that we can do it, we can face it and that whatever may be the outcome, we kmow to ourselves that we believe whatever our instincts tell us. Instincts are vital in our decision-making to help us notice when something might be wrong. Yet in most situations, when we face significant decisions about the business, we need to trust our head more than our gut in order to make the best decisions.
As for the case of Mr. and Mrs. Francisco, it is very important to listen to their instincts because like what I have said, it's not just a feeling but an insight, like our body is giving us clues for the future. Although it is really fundamental to a business to be a risk taker, it is also important to listen to your guts and make safety measures . We should not always settle for less. Being a risk taker is not as easy as it may sound. We should be always on the lookout for the things that may and/or may not happen. Bottom line is, Mr. and Mrs. Francisco learned something from this. It is inevitable in a business. To lose because of wrong decisions. But they can still give it a shot and the next time they went through it again, they know exactly what to do before doing anything that may regret in the end.
You can be both, a risk taker and an instinct driven at the same time. You can apply this base on the situation given. However, it is not bad to look for the both sides and maybe weigh the pros and cons. Think of the possibilities when deciding to prevent from feeling disappointed in the end. You can not just settle for one thing because it will not do you good. A lot of things are happening in the world, changes, and so are you. So you sould be able to adapt to the changes in your surroundings. When you can use both strategies in decision making process, it is not bad as you think it is instead of sticking to one thing. There's a lot of things to consider when making a decision and by that, we take risks. But whatever may that is, it should always be worth the risk. That at the end of the day, you won't regret anything and that it is still worth fighting for. Like even when you lose, at least you learned something in the end. So when time comes and it ever happen again, you know what to do next. You know exactly may happen next.
