In our daily lives, we make many choices, some turn out surprisingly well, others not so. But as the world gets busier and busier as situations pop up we need to better manage our yes to some things and our no to others.
Not sure why, maybe the pesky telemarketers calling all the phones all the time, or the pressures to go or not go to various meetings but I have gotten really good with my NOs. I call it the high bar to get to one of my YES answers to decide to do something.
The Power Of No Means Knowing Your Yes.
What that essentially means is time is priceless and you have to VALUE YOUR YES very preciously with what your values are. You should TRY things you have never tried before with a yes to learn and grow but if you have already evaluated that you should NOT spend 30 minutes on the phone with a product pitch you know you don't really need CUT IT OFF.
This NO NO NO philosophy extends to the wrong clients, wasteful meetings, trips to meet someone too far away, training classes that are so so, the list goes on and on. YOUR BURNING YES inside is what matters to you and KNOWING YOURSELF WELL with your values.
