The 3 Cs

When being asked to do some work I consider the three Cs. When considering them I need to have 2 of the 3 satisfied before agreeing to undertaking a job.

The three are:

1. Creativity
2. Contacts
3. Cost

• If I'm not getting paid but it will be creative work and I may make more contacts for my business - then it is worthwhile.
• If it's not a very creative job but I will get well paid and might make some new contacts - then it is worthwhile.
• If there are no new contacts to be made but it will be creative and I'll get paid - then it is worthwhile.

This is a rule like all rules is meant to be broken but it does help me make a work decision. Sometimes only one of the three will apply. But as long as I am OK with that then there is no problem. But if none apply - then I will politely refuse.
