“Stay nimble and listen to your instincts. This new economy requires you to stay on your toes and be able to respond to a market condition rapidly. Be conservative regarding your expectations and listen to your instincts: if a project feels like it has too much risk, don’t take it on because you feel like you need the volume. Listen when your gut tells you to pass on a project; there will be others to come and there is likely a very good reason to pass on it.” -Erin VerHoeven
