MBA1355 Q&A Wednesday: How do I learn to say no?
from The $100 MBA Show · host Omar Zenhom
Enough already! When you’re new to business, it can feel impossible to turn anything, or anyone, down. But if you’re not careful, you can “yes” yourself into a total productivity breakdown — leaving your business worse off than if you’d simply had the courage to say “no.” It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’re helping a classic “yes” addict. What many of us don’t realize is that every time we say “yes” to one thing, we are — by definition — saying “no” to something else. That can only lead to one conclusion: a great entrepreneur has priorities, not an endless To-Do list. Learn how to support and impress the people who rely on you, without burning yourself out. Understand how doing less can create more opportunities. Tune in, and see how tackling fewer things empowers you to tackle them like a champ. Plus, hear our simple strategy for finally seeing the true value of your precious, limited time. Click Play!
