I would not call it intuition. Call it Emotional Intelligence which is becoming more and more important for everyone. It's really about (1) Self Awareness, (2) Awareness of Others,
(3) Authenticity, (4) Emotional Reasoning, (5) Self Management and (6) Inspiring Performance.  If you want to take an EI assessment, contact me.  It will make all the difference in how you are perceived both in work and your personal life.
The older I get the more my intuition seems to serve me well both in business and personal life. Everyone has heard and most will agree that "we wish we new back then what we know now". In business this allows me to help those who have not had the same time to develop or have the same intuition. On a personal basis I try to pass that on to family as well. Experience and intuition out-ways education 3 to 1!  
I gather all the fact possible, analyze them but your gut tells you what needs to be done.  It's rarely been wrong but I have when I didn't listen to it!   
I do not make decisions based on intuition unless back into a corner.  Not that I do not give intuition its due. There are many meanings of the concept intuition throughout cultures, religions, and psychologies. One common thread is the absence of logic. I found on many occasions that the 'hunch' I had was produced by forgotten past experiences or thousands of repetitious experiences. I also am aware that because I read a lot some of my "intuition" comes from things I learned while reading then tucked away in the subconscious recesses of my mind. However, whenever possible I seek logic first when making decisions.
  Intuition is the step-child of common sense. Common sense is the culmination of our learned & acquired knowledge primarily from family across generational lines & as we age life experiences. I guess that's why common sense is not that common. Anyway for me then in business and life I will use my intuition to guide my decisions on challenges & opportunities that are best served by my common sense. If not I will asked for advice from someone whose intuition concerning my issues is better served by there common sense.

I found after years and years of research on nutrition and fasting myself as well as an elimination diet I learnt how to dial in my nutrition to optimize my health so more school and ta da I am a health coach. After I coaching a few people to success. I am now available for hire! It was an easy transition to this as since a child I had a passion for nutrition. With all my education it’s great as I can do all my own design and photography too

Intuition is a very subjective term for use in business and personal life for making decisions. In short, I would use intuition when I have done a good deal of research / analysis and lack confidence to make a decision then I may move forward depending on my gut feelings what we call it as intuition believing it to turn out to be correct decision.
Intuition does not guarantee to be right always even though  many believe to be correct most of the time. It would depend on you building your FAITH in yourself decision making process.
Yes, but I have to use common sense with my intuition or I get in trouble. 
It help me make proper decisions.
Follow your gut.  It will never stir you wrong.  You should never be hasty with any important decision but follow your own thoughts.
