This Will Kill Your Opportunities
Feb 03, 2025
In this episode, I address a common pitfall many entrepreneurs face—sunk cost bias. I discuss how this bias can lead you to continue investing time, money, and energy into projects or paths that are no longer beneficial, simply because you've already invested so much in them. I'll explain how you can identify this bias, why it's important to recognize the costs of inaction and opportunity costs, and how to give yourself permission to pivot and take new opportunities. This episode aims to help you make more informed decisions, avoid driving your business into the ground, and learn when to change course. Tune in for insights that could save you time, money, and stress. Also, don't forget to leave us a review on your podcast platform!
