## Resource

In this episode of Keys to Success, Litra Simms explores a key question on what to keep versus cut – be it properties, projects, partnerships, or habits. Litra discusses practical strategies and criteria to help listeners make these decisions confidently. She advises assessing whether the entity in question aligns with current goals, financial efficiency, and personal capacity. If something fails all these tests, it should be cut. On the flip side, passing all three tests means it should be kept. For grey areas, Litra suggests asking: "Would I fight to add this into my life today?" If not, it's possible it's being retained out of habit, fear, or guilt rather than alignment. To make these tough decisions, listeners are encouraged to select three entities and evaluate them based on these criteria. Lastly, Litra underlines the importance of aligning decisions with personal goals, numbers, and capacity for successful decision-making.
