What if You Do? What if You Don't?

I've found that there are two powerful questions I can ask myself whenever I'm at a crossroads in life and business:

1. What if I do?
2. What if I don't?

Those two questions give me clarity because they force me to think through the worst-case scenario if I do something and also the worst-case scenario if I don't do something.

It’s important to keep in mind that even like there’s always risk associated with everything that we do, there’s also always risk associated with not doing anything at all. So, when we ask ourselves about the worst-case scenario, it’s really only fair to ask ourselves, what’s the worst-case scenario if we do and what’s the worst-case scenario if we don’t?

This way, we get a more well-rounded perspective before we make a final decision.

So, here are my two ridiculous questions of the day:

1. What if you do?
2. What if you don't?
