Someone reached out to me this morning with a job offer related to my writing skills.

However, the writing he wanted was drastically outside my niche. I write libertarian op-eds, and he wanted podcast notes.

I love podcasts, but this is not the kind of work I do or that I am interested in doing.

I politely declined and suggested an alternative solution to his need. All ended well.

My question for you is, how do you decide when to stick to what you're already doing, and when to step outside your comfort zone to explore new opportunities?

Making the right or wrong decision here could have life-altering consequences.
