When we are home on Friday evenings, we watch Shark Tank.
It is about entrepreneurs, who are need of capital to move forward with their business ideas, approaching investors for help.
The idea is presented, questions are asked and then offers are made or the opportunity to invest is declined.
It always comes down to one thing, return on investment.
People with cash are very careful to invest that cash where it is going to provide the best return.
Something as precious as cash is time. In fact, in the end, cash is a representation of time and effort.
Our time is a limited resource and we should be cautious as to how we invest it.
When given a chance to spend some of it, we should seek to know the return.
Of course, the greater the return, the more of our time we should invest. The lower the return, the less of our time should be invested.
One last thought, not every opportunity represents and obligation.
