Completed example
| Question or field | Fictional completed example |
|---|---|
| Possible success? | Large order |
| New demand? | More production hours |
| Real limit? | Current capacity |
| Negotiable condition? | Staged delivery |
| Information step? | Ask about flexible dates |
A worked situation: Large order
Fictional example. A maker may win a large order but lacks production capacity. Asking about delivery flexibility addresses a real tradeoff; accepting an impossible deadline would not demonstrate courage.
Turn the feared success into a terms question
Write the actual opportunity and the new demand you expect. Mark each demand confirmed, assumed, or unknown. Then ask what can be negotiated or clarified before deciding. The worksheet does not establish an unconscious fear of success; it makes the ordinary tradeoff visible without promising that every opportunity should be accepted.
