Today Jody and I are talking about the importance of saying no and why you should say no more often.

 

It is easy to be a people pleaser or want to feel important. That can lead to over-committing yourself and may take away your ability to say yes to important things. You will always have opportunities "come up" . There will always be invitations for dinners or meetings or any other number of well-intentioned invitations. 

 

Ask yourself if you want to do something or if it is better to decline. It isn’t hard to learn what to say yes or no to. Taking care of yourself, your family, and your business must be at the top of your priority list. If an opportunity conflicts with any of those things, it’s an easy no. Say yes to what aligns with your priorities and say no to what takes away from them.

 

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, you probably need to say no more often. My Morning Magic Planner is a great resource for planning your time in a way that aligns with your priorities. You can download it for free at leecockerell.com.
