HOW YOUR INTUITION CAN MAKE YOU AS RICH AS
CONRAD HILTON
by: saleem rana
conrad hilton relied on his hunches to make his
FORTUNE. HIS INTUITION WAS SO FINELY-HONED THAT
it was uncanny. although he denied any psychic
talent, he was often baffled by the accuracy of
HIS INTUITIONS.
"most of the time i can reconstruct the
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THESE HUNCHES," HE CONFESSED,
"and i can figure out in a general way where it
came from. i mean i can explain it--not
COMPLETELY BUT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT LESS STRANGE.
there have been times, though, when i couldn't
come up with a good explanation."
once his remarkable intuition helped him buy a
prestigious old hotel in chicago. the sale was
BASED ON SEALED BIDS. ALL THE BIDS WERE TO BE
opened on a select day and the hotel would go to
the highest bidder.
some days prior to the deadline, hilton offered
a bid of $165,000, but that night he went to bed
FEELING RESTLESS AND DID NOT SLEEP WELL. THE
next morning he changed his mind. "it just
didn't feel right," he said afterward. he
INCREASED HIS BID TO $180,000. THIS WAS JUST
right--he outbid his close rival by a mere $200.
THE SUCCESS PRINCIPLE
conrad hilton had a strong desire to win the
BID. ALTHOUGH HE MADE A CALCULATED GUESS AT WHAT
to bid, it did not feel right and he tossed and
turned all night long. in the morning, he upped
HIS BID. HIS NEW FIGURE WAS ARBITRARY, BUT IT
was perfect.
HIS HUNCH AROSE FROM THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE
stored in his subconscious. he had been in the
hotel business ever since his purchase of a
HOTEL IN TEXAS AS A YOUNG MAN. HE HAD SPENT MANY
years learning about the field and must have
gathered a staggering number of facts.
in bidding for the chicago hotel, he was
consciously aware of the value of the real
ESTATE, THE OWNER'S ESTIMATE OF ITS VALUE, AND
his competitor's ideas about how much to stake.
based on this understanding, he placed his first
BID. HOWEVER, WHILE HE SLEPT, HIS BRAIN PROBABLY
ruminated over numerous subtle pieces of
information--perhaps the personalities of the
OWNER AND THE OTHER BIDDERS, PERHAPS A REMARK
heard, perhaps the memory of a offer on another
similar property, and so on. this nonspecific
AND UNCONSCIOUS INFORMATION FORCED HIM TO RAISE
his bid by an additional $15,000 when he woke up
the next day.
thus while he made a rational decision based on
his conscious knowledge, his subconscious went
THROUGH ITS OWN FILES DURING THE NIGHT, AND,
upon awakening, prompted him to increase his
offer.
