## Resource

#919 What would you regret more, letting go too early or holding on too long? There's no shame in changing direction when something stops working. Shame only starts creeping in when you stay stuck because you're afraid to make a tough decision! If you have ideas pulling you in multiple directions at once, listen in on today's session to hear how I decide where my focus should go! I'll share and walk you through my Letting Go Matrix . This is a simple four-quadrant tool and exercise that helps you find clarity when your tasks and opportunities become overwhelming. I'll also discuss the five questions you should ask yourself about every major commitment in your life. This will help you gain perspective and overcome the sunk cost fallacy and all-or-nothing thinking clouding your decisions. If you're like me, you need a system to cut through the noise and stay on track. Tune in to move forward with confidence! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session919 .
