People ask, how did you know what to do in this occasion or that…. well I say I ask myself, what would Shane Krider or John Lavenia or Richard Branson do if they were faced with this problem. (By the way, we have no problems just challenges.) An answer is always there without physically asking.
Using your subconscious to find the answer will always work as there are no wrong answers. Ive found meditation always helps make clearer decisions as your mind goes to a calmer place to allow the answer, which is always correct in your mind, to come forward.
So relying on someone elses opinion is not always the way to go, as that is only their opinion. Listen but find the answer yourself by assuming to be in their shoes. Listen to your mentors or gurus but remember you are the best guru to listen to.
Read as much as you can to allow an expansion of your mind. BUT it is very important NOT to pollute your mind with the media. This useless dribble will do you more harm than good. Put yourself on a full media ban. 
This way the correct answer will always be right there.
