Episode 8: Confidence in No
Feb 22, 2023
It's tempting to say yes to everything to keep people happy, keep yourself busy, or because of fear of missing out on something. In this episode I talk about the power of getting confident in the word No.
I gained confidence after years of fearing the word in these ways by:
1) Not providing EVERY service.
2) Saying no to protect my calendar.
3) Saying no when working with clients that aren't a good fit.
4) Being willing to accept a no on any given proposal without any emotional turmoil.
Learn some key phrases to let people down gently and build a referral network you trust and you can gain confidence in the word No, too!
