Know when to stop and ask
Tell the moment when carrying on costs more than asking.
Stop when three attempts have changed nothing, or the moment a step involves money, a password, or deleting something.
Stopping is not giving up. It is where more attempts start costing you.
Key points
- Three tries with no progress is a good moment to stop
- Stop at once if a step wants money, a password, or a deletion
What to remember
- Payment or deletion is always a stopping point.
- Money, passwords, and deleting are stopping points.
