Yes is how all good things start. People who are open-minded say Yes to more things. So they have more opportunities to do more and with more.
I know that if what I am doing is the best and why it is then should I be worried about what someone else has to offer? Or if someone needs help with something that I can help with would it be better to say no? You never know who that person is or is connected to.
I am not saying that you should say yes to everything that someone asks of you. You would be overwhelmed and/or overworked. According to INC.com, the average CEO reads 4-5 books a month. Here is a link for reference: Click Here. I know you can find time to say yes to some great things.
Yes to the best things
We all know that one person that says “no” to everything and where are they going to get in life? However, we are presented every day with things we can say yes to. It is up to us to say yes to only the best things.
We live in a fast society with many demands on people so how do you find out what is the best thing to say yes to on a daily basis? You start each day with the goal in mind. It might be daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly but that is in mind. Then it is one simple question “does this help me complete my goal?”
If the answer is no then that should be your answer. Just as if your answer was yes then you have your answer. It is not always a yes or no answer however, it is nice when it is.
The gray area
This is when it is not easy and more questions need to be asked before a decision can be made. Such as, how much is it going to cost? Or how much time is it going to take? Are a few examples of questions that you might need to answer. Each situation will require things to be answered.
As you do this more and more you will get better and fast with the process. I am excited to hear what you process is going to be like head over to Contact Us page or drop a comment below.
