Seth Godin has a great post today where he says, in a nutshell, “trust your instincts, then act on them.”

Let’s say you’ve got a really good idea. And you’ve had good ideas before.

You show it to your colleagues. They analyze it. They tell you why it’s not a good idea.

The challenge is not to somehow persuade those in search of soundness to change their minds. The challenge is to do enough of a gut check to decide whether you should defend your instinct. And then do it.

Great advice for everyday living.
