Day 16 / No! / 91 Perfect Days Challenge
Welcome to the Wealth Creators 91 Perfect Days challenge. Where our mission is to help you to create, preserve, and enjoy a life of abundance.
Starting right now.
Today's reading is titled; No!
Highly productive and successful people say no to non-essential projects, requests, and opportunities.
No is a power word that will free up one of your most precious resources.
Your time.
Most people are not good at saying no.
They say yes to things they should say no to because they want to help, they don't want to be rude or they don't want to burn any bridges. They do it because they fear losing opportunities. Because they forget their goals.
Or they do it so that they have excuses to procrastinate.
There is always a price that you will have to pay, with overcluttered colourless, perpetual low energy, chronically elevated stress hormones, and tightly clenched shoulders that never quite sink away from their ear lobes.
They pay the price with inferior results, unreached goals, and a future that they didn't work for. That`s why they are not successful because they couldn't say no.
The time you spend building someone else's future is the time you could have spent on your own goals. I`m not advocating slacking or never taking on extra assignments.
But when you allow every request to divert your attention from your most important priorities of the day, everyone ends up frustrated. Saying no frees up your time - leaving you the resources to spend on more important things.
Saying no cuts out stress.
It sets limits and boundaries.
It allows you to focus on what matters most.
It tells people exactly what you will and won't do.
It`s time you get to spend on your own future. You need to say no to all the things, activities, opportunities, and people that don't move you closer to your goals.
Things like reading emails, surfing websites, coffee dates, telephone calls, shopping, negative thoughts, television, errands, and hobbies.
If a certain activity does not move you closer to your goal - just say no.
When it comes to people, it`s often about how you say "no" rather than the fact you`re saying no.
