#107 The Power of No: When Turning Down Work Is the Smartest Move
In this episode, Aaron shares a hard-earned lesson about boundaries, red flags, and knowing when to walk away—even from a six-figure project. Inspired by an article from Dale at Media 1, “The Power of No”, this one is all about protecting your team, your time, and your bottom line.
Aaron walks through a real-world example: a national sign company pushing his team to take on a complex install without paying the advance deposit—until he finally said no. The result? Clarity, control, and a reminder that not every job is worth it.
✅ The hidden costs of saying “yes” to the wrong projects
✅ Why client red flags early on should never be ignored
✅ What ISN certification actually requires (and why Aaron hates it)
✅ Standing firm on payment terms—without apology
✅ When to protect your core clients by walking away from the rest
