Perhaps the tycoon's secret is their gut instinct.

Practical Intuition for Success: Let Your Interests Guide You to the Career of Your Dreams reveals some of the gut instincts that may be behind the success of many an entrepreneur. Isn’t this what the spark of genius is all about? Wasn’t the late great Steve Jobs a man of vision who followed his own intuition? Find out the answers to your own business challenges in this book.

Like her other books on the applications of intuition in daily life, Day offers a series of exercises to improve your gut sense. I have attended one of Day’s workshops and she said that this book is particularly good for self-employed people. She may be right as the practices appear more oriented towards marketing and business development than anything else.

In the end whether gut instinct is enough to bring someone millions another aspect that Day touches upon in the book is to be clear how you feel. There is no point doing something that doesn’t interest you. Intuition is not an intellectual pursuit but rather a reflection of extrasensory perception. If a venture doesn’t feel right or you get a negative sense of it, Day says to pay attention to that.

This is well written and could help the more practically-minded corporate rats among us pad their resumes, but there's too much re-tread of her 'Practical Intuition' for me to recommend reading this one if you've already read the other. And there's too much condescension in these pages for me to recommend reading this one instead of the other.
