So here are five questions to consider:
1. Does this opportunity align with my core values and long-term vision?
Will this opportunity support the person I want to become or the life I want to create? You have to sleep at night knowing you’re not selling out, or selling your soul.
2. How will this opportunity impact my energy and well-being?
Does it feel life-giving, inspiring, or draining? Will it support my mental, physical, and emotional health?
These considerations have no price tag.
3. What is the potential for growth and learning?
Will this challenge me, stretch my abilities, and provide opportunities for growing in curiosity?
Sadly, many jobs leave little room for personal growth and lifting the lid on our leadership.
4. Does this contribute to the impact I want to have in the world?
Will this help me make a difference? Will this deepen my relationships or connections with others?
Does this company, organization, or opportunity make the world a better place, or the opposite?
5. Does this foster collaboration, community, or meaningful connections with like-minded people?
The people we work with bring life, or don’t. Our community matters.
These questions take us deeper into considering opportunities.
There are more factors beyond the monetary.
