Saying no as an investor is harder than saying yes sometimes

I never had a problem π

Such an interesting test of that founding team. You learnt so much about them without a huge investment of time, and no capital at all
Love it
By saying no, you leave yourself open to say yes to something even better, but that doesn't mean it's easy.
If someone comes to you as an investor, they have probably put a lot of effort into whatever they're wanting investment for, and you can tell.
They chose to be vulnerable with you when they decided to ask for an investment.
Your heart probably recognizes this, and wishes to reward their effort, even if your mind knows it's not a good idea for you to invest.
Bless you!
In this case I had a close friend reach out with a strong view to say no. For me to then ignore that warning and proceed is going to be too much
This is energetics at play
The social capital Iβve built and continue to invest in paying me back
Why would they reach out right now?
The universe helping me out

That's awesome! π
Can still be hard of you had been considering the investment, and need to change direction, but it also sounds relieving to have found out before you agreed to anything!
It also a case of opportunity cost, as you say, and just this week there is a family home that has come into my view as very attainable for me and might well work for us
So capital has value for one thing one minute, but the next you might want it for something else

Just like with everything though, a no is more important than a yes
Professionals build empires with βnoβ.
Amateurs burn bridges with βyesβ.
In investing, every βnoβ sharpens your focus on what truly matters.
Trust your feelings about it, follow your way π€π»
Yea too much information on the market
