Have you noticed how often two year olds say no?
Imagine if you did the same ..
Hey, can you get this done over the Christmas period
No
Can you jump on this meeting, it won’t take long
No
Can you stay late today
No
Hey babe, Something’s come up, can you pick up the kids
No
Hey Mum, can you finish my project for me
No
No excuse
No reason
No apology
Just a simple no.
2 year olds can do this for one very good reason. They LIVE LIKE THEY”RE LOVED.
But as we get older the stories we tell ourselves leave us feeling un-loved, under-valued and under-appreciated.
And what do we do that??
We spend our time proving we really are valuable by saying yes when we should really say no.
The best way to solve your work life challenge is by working on you.
Find out who you are
Love who you are
Value who you are
And acknowledge the contribution you make to your family and business
Do this and you'll become a pro at saying no, you'll claw back your time and along the way teach people how to treat you.
Sound good?
