Ok, I realise I’m always encouraging you to do something, take action, think positively and while all of it is of course solid gold advice to help you build your business, I bet there are times when all you want to do is say no.

But do you?

say no

I’m such a yes girl myself! But to find more balance in our lives, more headspace to think and to save our patience sometimes, all we need to do is to treat ourselves and say that one teeny tiny word. And wow what a difference it can make.

So……

Let’s put the No into November and see what happens!

Today, instead of asking you to say yes all the time, I invite you to say no to some things.

For example, you could say:

  • No to someone who’s eating up too much of your time.  Who is that?  and if you did say no, what specifically would you do with more time?
  • No to a prospective client who doesn’t really fit your longer term plans or your business goals.  Who is that?  If you didn’t work with them, what clients could you work with instead?  
  • No to a piece of work that’s not paying your preferred rate. If you don’t work on that, what could you do instead with your time to attract more of the higher priced work you do want?
  • No. Just no to whatever it takes to get that little bit of peace and quiet in your day.
  • No to yourself if you say no too many times already!  What do you keep saying no about? No I can’t do it?  no I’m not ready yet to do x, y, z?   What would happen if you did do it? …….. and then what might happen?

Because if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting the same results.  

It might be hard at first to say no, but do it.  Say it.  And as you free up more of your time and your energy for you, you will feel stronger again, more clear headed, less stressed.

You’ll then enjoy saying yes again to more of what you really do want to see happen in your business life 🙂

Let me know in the comments below what you will be saying no to and how you will use that time.

To your success and happiness,
