MONEY
THIS IS
A CLUE
GOOD Money
- Well-defined scope
- Well-defined goals
- Has margin - contingency, room to say "yes".
- Something I have done, and can do easily again
- Work that I look forward to doing, excites me!
- Client who values my expertise,
- I want to answer the phone when they call.
BAD Money
- Ill-defined project scope & goals
- Tech I'll need to "figure out" (without the marign to do it)
- Personality conflict
- My gut says no.
