While, in general, there are countless opportunities around us there are times in our lives where we notice them more than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming aware of the volume of opportunities, for me, can leave me feeling somewhat paralyzed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want it all, and there aren’t enough hours in the day nor resources available to me to take advantage of the opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you choose, then? How do you filter through the possibilities available to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I’ve found helpful is to start with value. What do I care about? What’s consistent with the choices I’ve made so far and want to keep making?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have five questions I ask myself, sometimes consciously, often subconsciously, when sorting through opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Am I curious about this? <\/li>
  2. Is there value I can create here?<\/li>
  3. Does this opportunity open new opportunities?<\/li>
  4. Does this opportunity offer a chance to build on something else?<\/li>
  5. How much potential does this opportunity have for greater impact? <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When it’s a yes across the board, I go for it. If it’s an opportunity that affects others, I’ll often use an Impact Filter<\/a> to help clarify my thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
