이 에피소드에 관해
Have you ever found yourself reading a book or listening to podcast, that grabs you so much you drop what you are doing, grab your notebook and start taking notes? That is what happened, when I first listened to the episode The Cost of Yes: Saying 'no' with kindness and ease on The Small Business Casual podcast by Emily Aborn. I started by jotting a few key phrases down on post-it notes, as ideas to work into my own podcast. Soon, I was curled up in my favorite chair with notebook in hand scribbling down all sorts of ideas and repeatedly say, "Yes! So true!"
Maybe this was because I had just recorded our Tuesday episode Saying “No” as a Growth Strategy with Lesley Myrick, or perhaps it was because I know how important a kindly shared "no" can be when growing your business. Whatever the reason, I knew I had to bring Emily's words of wisdom to my own show.
So I reach out and asked if I could re-air this episode here on The Solo Grind! And that is what we are sharing in this episode.
What I hope you take away from today's episode...
☕ Behind every yes, there is a cost.
☕ Every yes subtracts from somewhere else.
☕ Those ‘quick questions' are rarely quick!
☕ No isn’t selfish. It’s a strategy.
☕ Be careful of the yes that comes from obligation.
☕ A resentful yes is more damaging than a clear, kind no.
☕ A quick yes often leads to a complicated no
☕ When yes becomes your default, your life fills with things that don’t fit.
I want you to fill you life and the new year ahead with the things that bring you joy, and to do that you've got to get really good at saying 'no'. Here is how you can do that with kindness and ease.
