Know When To Say No
“Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling
guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals if always
yes to someone else’s projects. You can only get ahead
with your desired lifestyle if you are focused on the
things that will produce that lifestyle.”
Jack Canfield, Author and Success Coach
