My wife runs our small real estate business. (Who would have thought a year ago we'd be happy to have more in real estate than in stocks!?!) We have a renter who texted us late tonight to make sure we received her rent check--which we haven't. She put it in her outgoing mail bin at work---despite a gut feeling saying she shouldn't.
It's not an uncommon problem. In their book Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls, Noel M. Tichy and Warren G. Bennis lay out a stark insight about leaders they have studied at the highest levels. Most of them make their worst decisions when they don't trust their gut.
There's a good reason for that. Your digestive system encompasses your enteric nervous system...which has actually been called your second brain. If you want see some of the science behind it, you can check out http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/23/health/23gut.html?pagewanted=all.
If you want to make good decisions without the science, just make sure you listen to what your brain(s) are telling you!
