When you're deciding what to invest in, examining the opportunity cost of your potential investments is a crucial part of the decision making process.

Every option includes a cost associated with it because any opportunity requires an investment of time, money, or resources—or all of the above!

And if we invest them in one initiative?

Then they're not available for other opportunities.

We all have a process we go through when we're thinking through new investments in our business. Whether you're conscious of your process or not... it's there.
