In this episode:
Trust Your Intuition: Jeremiah emphasizes the importance of trusting your gut and intuition when making big decisions—whether in real estate, partnerships, or life.
Fear Is a Message: Fear and pain shouldn’t be ignored; they're messages from your mind or body. Instead of avoiding them, learn to explore and understand what they’re trying to tell you.
Preparation Eases Fear: When fear arises, it’s often reminding you to be more prepared. Doing your homework and properly researching before major decisions builds confidence.
Understand Your Mind’s Role: Our minds are wired for survival and tend to focus on potential dangers and negatives, even when threats are minimal in modern life.
Confidence Is Contagious: People around you can sense both your confidence and your fear. A leader’s conviction and certainty can stabilize and reassure a team.
Calculated Instincts Over Impulsive Bets: Trusting your gut doesn’t mean acting on a whim. Make sure your instincts are backed by research, preparation, and experience rather than impulse.
Alignment and Motivation Matter: When partnering or negotiating, look for genuine motivation and alignment of goals. Forced or one-sided engagements rarely work out in the long term.
Intentions Are Felt, Not Hidden: True intentions, whether aligned or not, tend to come through in interactions. Operating with honest, positive intent is essential for building lasting relationships and deals.
Detachment from Outcomes: Don’t become emotionally attached to a particular deal, person, or outcome. The ability to walk away provides power in negotiations and protects you from poor decisions.
Continuous Growth and Self-Trust: Decision-making is a muscle that develops with experience. Combining intuition with logic, reflection, and learning from both success and failure leads to better, more confident choices over time.
