I am so proud of myself that I just had to share.
It started as a simple request. Hey Katie, we are planning our class reunion. We wanted to get your input because you have such good ideas.
Gave them my ideas.....
Next email.......Katie you are so good at this. Blah! Blah! Blah!
We communicate a few times them it comes. Listen Katie we were talking and you are so well connected still in Farmville and so good at planning events. We were hoping that you be our local point of contact for the reunion.
I waited about two days. Could I dare do it?
I pulled out the word that I am just learning to use:
NO!
Here is my response: Thanks for my vote of confidence. With a growing business and three children, I do not think that I would be able to give the reunion the commitment that it deserves!
It felt so good.
I am so appreciative for my business. It has been an outlet that has enabled me to grow as a person. It has taken me almost five years to learn that it is okay to turn down a listing.........AND A CLASS REUNION JOB! I will for once just go and enjoy myself.
