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?

The day I realized that saying "Yes" to everything isn't about helping people, its about avoiding uncomfortable conversations. If you really want to help people, then be honest about what you are capable of. 

Saying "No" is a perfectly reasonable and responsible answer when you simply aren't capable of or interested in doing something.

Develop a comfort with saying "No" often, it's powerful

Agreed. Takes a while to develop the practice, but having a strong understanding of the why behind saying no helps. Always an opportunity cost to the ‘yes’ to one thing being a ‘no’ to everything else.
