A founder turned down three client projects, including web development work. One rejected client came back with a better offer to build an AI tool. The lesson: saying no to misaligned work opens doors to opportunities that actually fit your team's goals.
Today I'm breaking up with 3 clients, and breaking up with a client is really interesting. As I said no to a client today, the client then offered us money to build out a tool for them based on what we were doing. So here I thought I was letting the client down. He's like, I'm so excited, you guys are heading into AI. And it was the most bizarre circumstance because whilst he was upset that we couldn't do his web dev, he's like, well, what about this AI stuff? Like, how do I get in? You'll have to say no to a lot of things, and as you say no to more and more things, you start getting better opportunities. And so you never truly know what answer is awaiting you unless you ask. This was a video that I should have done a long time ago. This is a video for me that I should have taken my own advice. JP, when you watch this again and you're stuck on what to do, remember, if it doesn't serve the goal that you and the team have set, do not do it. No amount of money, time, or headache is worth it.
