Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty.

There’s a great quote by Jack Canfield where he says “Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals if you are always saying yes to someone else’s projects. You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you are focused on the things that will produce that lifestyle.”
Saying “NO” is one of the most powerful words in the English language and whether in business or your personal life being able to say No is part of saying Yes to yourself! It’s also part of how you
“Live an A Plus Life” and lifestyle.
Obviously there are times when you want to be able to say yes when family, friends or clients ask for a favor however, more often than not I hear people saying ‘Yes’ when they really need to be saying; “NO, sorry I can’t right now” or “Let me think about that and I’ll get back to you.”
We say no to children because they need to learn about boundaries so they become aware of what’s OK and what’s not, it’s no different with adults. When you set boundaries for yourself it will grow your self confidence and people tend to have more respect for you and your time.
Next time you start to say Yes to someone’s request top and ask yourself a question. “Is this something that is really necessary or a ‘must’ or is it something you are thinking you are ‘supposed to’ or ‘should’ do.”
