The One Simple Question That'll Give You Courage to Go After Anything
Serious inspiration ahead.

There are a million reasons why you shouldn’t take on a big, scary (but potentially rewarding) opportunity. It might be stressful, ill-timed, or hard to navigate. It might not work out or be the right path for you. The list goes on and on.

But instead of just trying to weigh all of the pros and cons (there are way too many), Marie Forleo has one simple question for you to answer: What’s the worst that can happen if you do or don’t take the opportunity?

It seems small, but by coming up with a response, you’ll find the clarity you need to make the decision that’s right for you. And potentially do something really, really amazing.
