Red, Yellow, Green... Which color is the flag?

from Small Business Casual · host Emily Aborn

Text Emily! There have been plenty of times I haven't trusted my gut, both in life and in business. Sometimes ignoring it has me chasing a shiny object... Sometimes it leads me to think I need to change everything NOW... I've collaborated with the wrong people, tried things I didn't want to do, and I've even posted something I didn't feel 100% about, but I did it anyway because #consistency. My MAIN downfall is not listening to my gut and ignoring red flags, or second-guessing the color I'm seeing. Red, yellow, or maybe even green? Gah! What color is the flag? That’s where we’re headed in this episode: 6 Common reasons we ignore the red flags7 Red flags reminding you to run the other way 7 Yellow(ish?) flags reminding you to proceed with caution How to get better at spotting red flags and upholding your word to yourself 5 Ways to say no professionally (and a bonus silly one 🤪) And more! Episodes & Resources Mentioned Do You Need a Regroup?
