One of the quickest ways to burn out, get discouraged, or waste your time and resources is by jumping into every opportunity without properly assessing it first.
Before you say yes, ask yourself:
- Does this align with my vision and target audience?
- Is the compensation worth my time and effort?
- If it's unpaid exposure, will I be exposed to the right audience, and is the reach significant enough to matter?
- Will saying yes pull me out of alignment with my current goals or disrupt my ability to manage existing responsibilities?
Every opportunity isn’t a good opportunity, even if it looks exciting. Clarity protects your energy, your strategy, and your momentum.
