These days, no is beautiful. Yet another paradox.
We want to say yes to life, to experiences, to people, to opportunities… but if we say yes too much, especially in business, we don’t ever get good at anything. We run around chasing all our incomplete projects, spreading ourselves too thin, and not being proud of much that we are involved in.
“No” is a complete sentence we need to use more in this world of abundant opportunity, information and communication. You have to pick something and focus; focus far more than the world seems to want you to.
Say no, to achieve more.
No thank you ?
That’s a hard lesson to learn! But I remember you making that a SOE talk. Never thought about it before, but it makes a lot of sense:)
Thanks Larry. All have a great weekend & a safe Independence Day!
