Chapters

Every time you say yes to something, it steals energy from something you're already doing. You have a limited time, limited energy, limited resources, regardless of how big your team is, okay? It's not infinite. So anytime you say yes to something, you are saying no to everything else. So the test that I want you to take is asking yourself, if I start this new project, new business, what's going to stop happening? What am I going to stop doing? Where am I going to take that time from? Is my health going to be sacrificed? Is my relationships going to be sacrifice? Will my current business or project be sacrificed? How is it possible I'm going to be doing something new without letting go of something that exists?
