Running a startup and working within a startup, I’ve learned that you have got to make decisions quickly.
When opportunities arise, you must think strategically for the long term and re-prioritise, change or even cancel your projects in order to seize those chances.
Always keep in mind what your long-term objectives and goals are. If you’ve been presented with an opportunity that will move you closer to your goal, then take it. If you’re a bit apprehensive, you could draw out a SWOT diagram or a table of positives and negatives to figure out your next move. But at the end of the day, the goal is to keep moving forward, so don’t let a lack of experience, lack of faith in yourself or lack of time stand in your way.
Make it happen and pivot! You can always finish what you were doing after you complete this little detour from your initial plan.
