Opportunity Discrimination

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Opportunity Discrimination

Do you have too many options and are having a difficult time choosing?

There is a concept called "Opportunity Cost.” It is simply the value gained or the value lost in deciding what opportunities you will pursue. 

I tend to focus on another question entirely -

"Does an opportunity provide the fastest and most direct path for me to reach my goals?" 

It's easy to look at almost any opportunity and justify a path, especially if you are being persuaded by someone else. It’s more difficult to make a choice.

If you want to break free from a stalled life, you must eliminate anything that takes you off course and stay focused on your goals.
