What’s your first instinct when you encounter a new opportunity? Do you tend to say yes, no, or “let me think about it?” Should we always say yes? If you’re interested but lack the capacity to go all in, how can you negotiate the terms of your engagement?

The Gifted Underachievers discuss various ways to respond to a new creative opportunity, whether it’s an offer of a job, a project, or a collaboration.

Questions for Listeners:

* Have you ever turned down an opportunity and later regretted it?

* If yes, why did you turn it down?

* Have you ever jumped on an opportunity you later regretted pursuing?

* If yes, what went wrong?
