Psychological freedom -- The more uptight, tired, stressed or contracted your mind, the less intelligent the thinking. Creating mental space is a practise, holding it under pressure, an art.
Knowledge -- All decisions are made from within the context of existing knowledge. The more you know the greater your access to options, sophistication and complexity.
Constraints -- Every strategy is limited by either resources or context. Pushing back against real constraints waists time and energy, whereas creativity acknowledges and accepts them.
Intuition -- It's neither a mystery not a secret, but a powerful subtle psychological process lying prior to thought.
Contemplation -- Holding the question lightly without feeling the pressure to come up with a solution or answer. It's like trying to remember something that's on the tip of your tongue. The harder you try, the more difficult it is.
Identity -- Having a intentionally developed, carefully crafted and coherent personal and business philosophy.
Motive -- No matter what the quantitative results, if the motive was fear or anxiety there's a qualitative [quality of life] price to pay. It's an easy early trade-off, but sooner or later it catches up.
Skill -- Insightful, intelligent and aligned decisions need to be executed with an appropriate level of practised and demonstrated skill.
Trail and Error -- We learn by occasionally getting it right, but mostly by getting it wrong.
