You Could Doesn’t Mean You Should

Recently, I had another good idea. They feel so nice at first. It is tempting to jump on that new opportunity right away. You are in a full rush — But the reality is this: In the beginning, there aren’t big charges. I have this conversation often in my 1:1 coaching sessions. You have two good options. But not at the same time. You only have time, energy, and focus to go with one. So that means saying no to something you really enjoy. Warren Buffett is quoted to have said: “Write down a list of all things you want to do with your life.
Now rip off the top 5 goals. Take the rest and mark it red. Those will be your biggest temptations on the road to make the first 5 successful.” I would assume by now that a list of 5 things is already a stretch. So all those days when I come up with a new idea, I don’t have time for all things. The price to try is too expensive. By the way: your list can change. Life changes. I would recommend trying to stick with it for a few years. |
