When an opportunity comes to you, do you TAKE IT right away? Or do you think about it? Are you cautious? Do you do research? ...do you miss it? I used to say YES to everything...that caused problems. Then I started saying NO to everything...more problems. Now, I'm doing something different...I talk about my new strategy in today's podcast.
