You might be getting the costs wrong if it doesn't cost money.

So, you’re probably giving it:
Money instead of time
Time instead of pressure
Skill instead of money
Pressure instead of understanding
This instead of that
Little instead of much
Everything instead of nothing…

The pivot, the relationship, the job, the situation, the decision…
How do you pay for a thing when you don’t know its price?

Not all costs are apparent but knowing them beforehand can help us make better decisions, say ‘no’ with reason, and rightly direct resources (which are limited).

Some thinking here, some asking there…
