Why the gut is more important than the brain for success

Why the gut is more important than the brain for success.

Succeeding in business is not that complicated really, and finding opportunities for advancement is fairly easy if you know the secret.

Here’s the reality:

— there are no more Steve Jobs out there (or at least the possibility of finding him/her is pretty remote);

— there are no silver bullets, one-shot wonders for success;

— the are very few “new ideas” out there that will make you “Wonder Woman”.

The truth is, winning is a function of your stomach not your brain.

Intellectualize all you want but it is meaningless until you act.

Give me GUT over brains any day; “Fire-in-the-Belly.”

Why don’t we teach ‘gut’ at business schools in addition to probability theory?

The truth is, graduates from BS come out believing that pristine solutions will work.

How many great (on paper) ideas have you seen die on the vine because they don’t have a passion player driving them.

Why don’t we promote people with gut as being just as important as smart? How about starting a conversation around someone’s “GQ” (gut quotient) in addition to their IQ?

It will never happen!

Why? Because we STILL covet the brain rather than what the brain needs to actually accomplish something.

Without GUT the brain is useless.

Find more GUT.

Hire GUT.

Cheers,
Roy
