Learning to say “no” to opportunities that aren’t a good fit for your business.

It’s tempting to say yes to everything early on, but focus is power.

Do This:

• Know Your Core: What are you truly the best at, and passionate about?
• The Cost of Saying Yes: Does this divert resources from your main goals?
• Polite but Firm: Saying no with gratitude doesn’t burn bridges.
• Offer Alternatives (Maybe): Can you refer them elsewhere, showing helpfulness?

Saying “no” protects your time and energy. It lets you say a stronger “YES” to the right projects.
