There’s a problem that could potentially cost up to $8,000 at stake in front of you, and it will take one, maybe two, hours to solve. One hour to report the issue, and another one or so to decide what to do and create a solution to avoid the same thing.

That same amount of time could also be spent building one of many other assets that would collectively generate that same amount in profit a year later. It’s an hour that could have been spent practicing learning how to market yourself better to make you less dependent on clients who aren’t right for you and easier to find clients who are.

It’s not just an hour now. It’s an hour that determines what an hour much later might be like. The tricky part is that it’s hard to tell whether it’s more worthwhile to spend that hour preventing potential loss or to secure a greater financial future. The important part is to wonder it anyways and evaluate.
