Very good post, thank you for this Susan. I believe that it is exactly the female intuition that can make us great entrepreneurs and leaders. It’s not always easy to ignore all reason and follow your inner Samurai, but it does lead to great things and you become an improved you.

Great comment Susan. I really liked in your book how you explained that if the little voice in your head is rationalizing and explaining, etc. - that’s not your inner samurai. Your inner samurai is the one clearly saying - Do this! Even if all the logic behind it isn’t quite clear yet.

Indeed Carol, at first ideas generated from your inner knowing, what I like to call your Inner Samurai, can feel quite outlandish. That’s how it felt to me when I followed my inner voice and left the ivory tower.

The voice inside my head was screaming, “You idiot! This is ridiculous!” Yet, my calm, Inner Samurai knew which road to choose when my two roads diverged in the woods . . . and I, I took the perfect one for me.

Over the years some of my biggest business ventures have come from a place of Knowing. Let me back up…at first the ideas feel a bit outlandish. How could I possibly to that! And then when I listen deep within, I Know that the project is exactly what I should be doing. I’ve learned to listen extra hard when my Knowing seems to counter the “logical” answer. I also find that listening to my deep inner voice is essential through all phases of a project–from inception, creation, fine-tuning, launch, and follow up. Thanks for bringing Discovering Your Inner Samurai: The Entrepreneurial Woman’s Journey to Business Success to our attention.

Liz, you’re exactly right . . . as women entrepreneurs, we know more than we believe we know. The belief is that we don’t know. When, in fact, we do know. That’s what our wonderful Inner Samurai is telling us . . . that we actually do know what we know and that we can trust it, take action on it, and live our lives by it.

I’ve not only been fortunate enough to have read Susan L. Reid’s book, “Discovering Your Inner Samurai”, but am also blessed by being one of her coaching clients. Susan’s gentle yet firm coaching (and incredible patience with me!) has finally moved me from a position of lack, the idea that I can only succeed if I work my butt off for an hourly wage. I urge everyone to listen to their “inner samurai” - read Susan’s book - it’s a different world from what we grew up with. There is no security in working for someone else and making money for them - we CAN make money ourselves, and in keeping with our inner voices. Since connecting with Susan, my income has increased two-fold. All hail to Susan!

Good points Dana. The more we learn to trust our intuition, the more we can move our lives in the direction that we want them to grow. We are sometimes drawn to opportunities and change without being able to articulate “why”. I think this is our intuition speaking to us and that we can learn a lot by following where it leads and having confidence that the reasons will be revealed over time.
Susan’s book does a good job of honoring that process.

I think the tide is turning, thanks to blogs like this one, and authors/coaches like Susan Reid. Intuition isn’t something that we hide anymore, and the more of us who come forth and demonstrate how well our instincts work for us, the better. The information and stories in Susan’s book help women to trust their Inner Samurai. That relationship of trust within ourselves is the key to success in all areas of life, and the catalyst for positive world change, as well.
