The Salisha Show with Salisha ThomasLearning To Ask For What You're Worth with Andrew WeissSometimes when your gut tells you that something is what you need to be doing or is where you need to be going, it will not make sense to anybody else. It’s important to listen to your intuition, follow what your gut is telling you, and act on it. Don’t ask for people’s permission; this can block your path to success. Share your experience after acting on it. That is what Andrew Weiss did, and he’s grateful he acted on that intuition. It helped him meet the most special person in his life.2021-11-0237 min
