3. Ask Yourself The Right Questions

3. Ask Yourself The Right Questions

 I have a handful of questions I ask myself before making decisions:

  • What are the economic ramifications in terms of risk and opportunity cost of not doing something?
  • How can I mitigate both?
  • What is the worst that can happen?
  • What is the likely outcome?

If I get in front of the worst and most likely outcomes and my gut still tells me to move forward, then I can push through my concerns about risk.
