When you're not sure about a new opportunity

This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from coach, leader and feminist Lisa Townsend. She says:

“I need some help to work out which opportunities are for me and which to say no to!

An opportunity to collaborate comes my way for example and my mind automatically lists off all the negatives/worst case scenarios. I've been wondering lately if that’s just the fear of feeling like I've potentially got someone else to answer to (which is why I left employment) or whether the opportunity just isn’t right.

How can you make a best guess about a new opportunity, without having any prior experience to relate to?"
