191. Why I Stopped Saying Yes to Every Opportunity (And What I Do Instead)

What are you automatically saying NO to when you say YES? In this episode, I share a mindset shift that has completely changed how I evaluate opportunities, success, and what I choose to say yes to. I talk about opportunity cost, why money and visibility aren’t the only things worth considering, how to calculate the real cost of your time and energy, and the questions I’m asking before making big decisions. I also dive into how to tell the difference between fear and misalignment, why you’re allowed to outgrow old dreams, and how to evaluate opportunities based on what they require from your time, energy, focus, peace, and relationships. Tune in to learn how to make decisions that support not just the business you’re building, but the life you want to live. Thank you to my sponsors: Launch your business with Shopify.
