145. MONDAY MINDSET: You don't have to accept what is offered
Let's talk about a moment you'll face in entrepreneurship the opportunity that pays, but doesn't align. You know the feeling, it's money you could use, but something just doesn't sit right.
We'll explore why your resistance to a "good opportunity" is actually your higher standards speaking, how to discern between decisions that are risk-calculated versus fear-based, and the true cost of accepting things below your standard (spoiler: it's not just about the money). I'll also share how entrepreneurs are alchemists who can turn any experience into profit—and why that means we get to be selective about what we accept.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why resistance to an opportunity might mean your standards have levelled up
- The trade-off trap: what you're really saying no to when you accept below-standard work
- How to know if an opportunity serves your vision or drains your energy
- The difference between fear-based decisions and discernment-based decisions
- Three framework questions to ask yourself before accepting ANY opportunity • Why saying no is actually a declaration of your value
- The entrepreneur's secret weapon: turning experiences into content and profit
- Risk tolerance and the freedom that comes with strategic patience
- Real-world example: the workshop with a $100 budget vs. your $500 speaking fee
