The beginning stages of being a small business owner are aimed at finding opportunities– as many as possible. But as a business grows, it’s important to learn to be selective with opportunities. When options present themselves for a business, it’s often beneficial to be able to say no to opportunities that will do more harm than good. If an opportunity wastes energy, does not serve your goals, or could be better accomplished through outsourcing, it’s best to say no and move on. Your business will be better-off for it.
