Fear
Acting on fear closes your options and gives away your power to say No. The real only power you have in the market is your capacity to choose. You can choose what you do. You can choose who you work with. Most important, you can choose who not to work with. Sure, if you have bills to pay and there’s only that non-ideal available, take it. Pay your bills. And find your way to get to your ideal. Where you can say No confidently. Free of fear.
