Seems we are on the same wave length. (No Google Wave puns intended!)

I am a great believer in instinct. When something doesn’t feel right, I always think there is a good reason behind it.

Recently, I turned down some work as my gut feelings about a potential client were so strong. This person wouldn’t give me any contact details other than email, ignored my professionalism, as well as my terms/conditions. I just couldn’t take the risk.

One thing I believe in is integrity and openness. I always think that if someone tries to hide something from you, then that person is not to be trusted. In business, there has to be some trust between parties, doesn’t there?

In the past, I’ve ignored my instinct. Now, I can’t afford not to. It doesn’t mean you have to be guarded or suspicious of everyone – just alert.

An interesting topic!

I would love to hear how that went? It may not even be clear after your first meet up but it could be something that happens in the future.
