Strengthen values before circumstances offer a price for them.

A value that has never cost you anything has not yet been tested, and testing usually comes as a price you are offered to set it aside. It is much easier to know your answer beforehand than to work it out with the money on the table and someone waiting.

Ask what you would not do for a very good offer, and be specific. Answering in advance is not dramatic. It just means the decision is already made when the offer arrives looking reasonable.
