Not only am I on the island, I built the island! I never concluded that it was about being liked more than it was about being helpful. I have reflected on this a lot because I often overextend myself in the spirit of "Customer Service". After all, in sales, if you can solve all of their problems, then they will buy your product and stay...well, that is the lie we tell ourselves. In the service industry, we are afraid that if we say no, they will say no too! BUT to say yes to the important things, you must learn to also say no. Great write up and an even greater reminder.
Luck always favors the brave. And you must remember that brave are the people who follow their heart; brave are the people who take chances in life. Which also means you have to say no sometimes. I believe the power of no is greater than yes.
I freaking loooovvveeee this!!!! We have to learn to say "NO" so we can say "YES" to the most important things! You are not on the island alone...we are in this together!
Love this! I’m so guilty of saying yes more than I should.
We allllllll are. :) PS- saying “no” to me doesn’t count. 😆😂

Beautiful message. Well said.
This is my favorite line. No is a complete sentence, but I completely get you.
The struggle is real...and also draining. Thanks for the take. It's a good one!
Welcome!!! 🙏

Yaassss!!! Exactly.
I LOVE it! “NO is a sentence!” I am going to put that practice in effect with my wife.
Hahah good luck with that one. Don’t blame if it doesn’t work. 😆🙈
