TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

  • [00:27] Today’s Topic: The Power of “No”
  • [00:50] The moment you say yes, you only open the door to more “yeses”.
  • [01:15] Don’t do things out of your scope, because it will take all of your time and eat away at your profits.
  • [01:40] Show that you have standards and backbone.
  • [02:05] Have firm boundaries in order to protect yourself.
  • [02:50] The more you cave in, the harder it will be for you.
  • [03:00] Always have a reason why you’re saying no. Explain the downsides.
  • [03:54] That’s it for today!
  • [03:58] We hit our goal of 1 Million downloads! So, we will be throwing a free event in Los Angeles this June. Check out this website if you would like to attend.
