Feeling overwhelmed by all the business courses, tools, and programs in your inbox? You’re not alone. In this episode, we're tackling a critical skill that every digital course creator and entrepreneur needs: how to evaluate opportunities with intention, before you waste time, money, or energy.

✨ Learn how to:

• Avoid expensive distractions that derail your momentum.
• Filter decisions through financial impact, goal alignment, and support needs.
• Stay focused on your vision, not just the latest launch hype.

Plus, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how I’ve evaluated past investments (including mistakes I’ve made), and how I coach clients through these decisions in real time.

📝 Weekly Action Item:

• Reflect on ONE opportunity you're currently considering.
• Apply the 3-question filter: What’s the real financial impact? Does this align with my current goals? What support would I need to implement it well?
• Download the Intentional Decision Making Workbook to walk through the full process step-by-step.
