Trust your instincts from "summary" of Angel by Jason Calacanis
When it comes to making decisions as an angel investor, there's one piece of advice that I can't stress enough: trust your instincts. Your gut feeling, that inner voice that whispers to you, is often more reliable than any data or analysis you might have at your disposal.
In the fast-paced world of startup investing, there's never enough time to pore over every detail or crunch every number. Sometimes, you have to rely on your intuition to guide you. Your instincts are like a compass, pointing you in the right direction when the path ahead is unclear.
Of course, this doesn't mean you should throw caution to the wind and make reckless decisions based solely on a hunch. It's important to strike a balance between trusting your instincts and doing your due diligence. Your gut feeling should serve as a valuable tool in your decision-making arsenal, not as a substitute for rational thinking.
When you're evaluating a potential investment opportunity, take the time to listen to what your instincts are telling you. Pay attention to any red flags or warning signs that might be signaling trouble ahead. Your intuition can often pick up on subtle cues that your conscious mind might overlook.
At the end of the day, investing in startups is as much an art as it is a science. While data and analysis have their place, there's no substitute for the wisdom that comes from trusting your instincts. So, the next time you're faced with a tough decision, remember to listen to that inner voice. It just might lead you to your next big win.
