Some of us say no too much and we need to say yes more – to experiences, to opportunities, love, happiness, etc.
Some of us say yes too much and we need to say no more – to liberate time, to keep our sanity, to be better at what we do say yes to, to take a stand, etc.
Which are you? Too much yes, or too much no?
Comment with the orange button! I read them all!
Larry, kudos on the much deserved recognition last night at the Boy Scouts event – your insights & story telling are amazing and inspiring.
I need to Say MORE NO, Sometimes I think I”m to Generous
I definitely say yes too often! I know I need to say no (at work) more often and be better at delegating to other team members…It can be hard to do!!
I really enjoy your blog Larry. I say yes way too much to work requirements, volunteer activities, family needs etc. Reading your blog helps me focus on the important aspects of Life. ?
perhaps too much yes
I say yes much at work and more in my life!
I do not like the word no.
To me, it means no sale,
Or I am a limited thinker or dreamer !Or I just don’t have enough info.
If No meant no, I would not be married or have 1/2 the things I have.
Larry , you are a terrific thinker who likes new idea’s . They mostly come from Yes!

I am certainly not a “yes man”, but I love saying YES whenever possible! My life has been so enriched and blessed by finding that YES in as many situations as possible helping to create “experiences, opportunities, love and happiness”.
Thanks Larry for your insights…but even more for sharing them!
I say yes more often than not. Though, I am learning the art of saying no. No, is how you free up time in busy life.
I usually say yes. It’s more difficult to say no!
I just heard the term “FOMO” — Fear Of Missing Out. I prefer to look at what a blessing it is to live in an age where we have so many wonderful opportunities to choose from! Life is like a sculpture, sometimes it’s what we carve away and remove that exposes the beauty within.
Larry,
Your input from an owners perspective is spot on. While we don’t partake as much due to our distance from your company, I do read and follow your wisdom, and it’s great. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Mark Garrison
A liitle too much yes at work and a little too much no at home.

Good advice. I said yes today for a new sales career in your Basement Systems network in an interview where the power was knocked out. 2019 is going to be big!! The lights came back on when they offered me the position!
