You’ve heard the phrase that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is. You’ve heard it. You’ve said it. And you’ve thought it. And sometimes it’s accurate.

Today I am encouraging us to go past that moment to look a little deeper. Here are some questions to consider when you have this thought in your head.

  1. Why do you think it’s too good to be true?
  2. What is the risk if it isn’t too good to be true? Or said another way, What if I move into that opportunity?
  3. Why might someone make this offer and it still be of benefit to you?

Take a look at the video below to delve deeper into these three questions that will help us see this common phrase, It’s too good to be true, as an opportunity.
