Once you've completed rough stuff, it's time to make your corrections, smooth out rough edges, and perhaps do a little juggling in terms of organization. Run your text through spelling/grammar checking tool of your word processor and make appropriate adjustments/corrections.

Now that body of text that you have created is "technically clean" from a spelling/grammar standpoint and you have satisfied yourself with organization, its time to do final styling or polishing to ensure readability (that may or may not be a word, but I'll claim poetic license and go ahead and use it). Read your article aloud to yourself and get a feel for cadence or rhythm. The readability of entire article can be influenced by changing order of words and/or exchanging one like-meaning word for another. The final goal is to invite readership.

Many entrepreneurs and professionals use their articles as a key component in launching successful careers earning very substantial incomes. Remember, with regard to writing articles, you're better than you think you are...it's all about attitude.

How might I notice my intuition trying to get my attention?

* Body signals - Your body gives you a tremendous amount of useful, intuitive information. For example, when your mother-in-law visits, does your stomach tie up in knots? When you feel passionate and alive, does your chest feel warm and open? Body signals offer us valuable information designed to let us what works for us and what doesn't.

* "The Gut"- Some people do feel their intuition in their physical gut. When I first started coaching and learning to access my intuition fully, I'd picture a string connecting my heart to my abdomen as a way to connect with my intuition.

* Pictures in your mind's eye - Sometimes, I see an image in my mind's eye that is an intuitive message.

* Dreams - The week after my son's birth, I had a difficult decision to make. One night, lyrics to song "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young appeared in my dream, reminding me that intention with which I make a decision is far more important than decision itself.

* Energy - Many of my clients use their energy levels as intuitive cues. If your energy spikes at thought of one choice, while it plummets when you contemplate another, decision is clear.

* Just as a feeling, a hunch - a more generalized feeling that one choice is better than other. Sometimes for me it feels like an internal tug.

The next time you have an important business decision to make notice part that your intuition plays. Do you use it and not even recognize it? Do you hear its message and ignore it? At your next set of crossroads, I challenge you to listen to your intuition, trust it and follow it. After all, trusting your intuition is simply another form of trusting yourself.
