Medium Well
It could fall apart.
If it doesn’t, and this project on the horizon comes to fruition, it will be a big one.
If I commit to it, I’ll have to make a thousand no’s.
That’s the cost of saying yes.
Order the chef salad at your favorite restaurant and you say no to everything else on the menu.
(Who am I kidding? I’m getting the cheeseburger.)
Say yes to a project and you say no to the tempting opportunities that always seem to appear after you commit.
There is a finite amount of work we can take on at once.
Every yes means no to everything else.
I could say yes to this opportunity, turn down others, and still have it fall apart.
Those lost opportunities would be gone for good.
There are no guarantees.
But you have to say yes to something anyway.
