Success Topic of the Day: Learning to say No How do you decide when to say no to something? Is it tough for you, or does it help you stay focused and get shit done? I am a people pleaser and I have always struggled to advocate for myself. Learning to say No has been a really powerful way to take back my time. What about you?

I struggled saying no while at work initially but I’m now very conscious of my workload and will only take something on if I have the time to give it 100% and enthusiasm for the project. Learned the hard way but realized that more work does not mean more recognition. Caliber of work on impactful projects is where you’ll get recognized, even if the time commitment isn’t huge.

Spot on. I also have the same problem. Especially if it’s my boss asking me to do it. The job I just resigned from a few months ago started with 1 set of expectations, but over time grew to 3x as much cause I would never say no. And all that time my salary grew like maybe 20%.

Yeah dude, I’ve learned to advocate for myself too. Straight up tell your boss what you’re doing and if they are a good manager they’ll give you recognition and/or promotions if you’re taking on more. 20% salary bump isn’t horrible at least but having too big of a workload for any worth a 20% salary bump
