The Month I Said Yes to Everything (And Nearly Lost It All)

I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Sitting at my desk, watching the numbers in my bank account tick closer and closer to zero.

Rent was due. Bills were stacking up. And after three months of zero income, no work, and no help from anyone, I was desperate.

So when the first opportunity came through—I said yes.

Didn’t matter if it was a small project, underpaid, or completely outside my expertise. Didn’t matter if it was a pain-in-the-arse client who would drain every last bit of energy out of me. Didn’t matter if it was work I didn’t even like.

I said yes.

Then another offer came in. Yes. Then another. Yes. Then another. F@#k it, yes.

Because when you’re in survival mode, you don’t think long-term.

You’re not strategising. You’re not focused on positioning. You’re just trying to get back on your feet.

And for a little while, it worked.

The money started trickling in. I had a full workload again. On paper, everything was looking better.

But that’s when I realised—I had built myself a trap.

From No Work to Too Much Work (And Still Stuck)

A few months into saying yes to everything, I looked up and saw the mess I’d created:

? My calendar was fully booked, but my income? Still inconsistent.

? I was working harder than ever, but it felt like I was running in place.

? My clients had all the control, and I was just trying to keep up with their demands.

And the worst part?

I realised I had built a business that needed me more than I needed it.

I wasn’t running the business—the business was running me.

Every month started at zero. Every sale meant more work for me. And every “yes” was keeping me stuck exactly where I was.

I had spent so much time trying to survive, I never stopped to ask:

? Was this even a business I wanted to scale?

? Was this something I could grow without working myself into the ground?

? Or was I just trading one struggle for another?

It was the hardest truth I had to face:

? I didn’t have a business.

? I had a job I created for myself.

? And if I kept going like this, I’d be stuck here forever.

And that’s when I decided—no more.

The Moment I Stopped Saying Yes

It wasn’t easy.

Saying yes to everything had been my survival instinct. Saying yes had kept me afloat. Saying yes had paid the bills.

But saying yes was also the reason I was stuck.

So I made a new rule:

? No more low-value clients.

? No more custom, one-off work.

? No more selling my time instead of a real solution.

Instead, I built something that let me scale without doing more work.

I simplified.

? ONE scalable, high-ticket offer → No more custom bullshit.

? ONE predictable lead system → No more feast-or-famine.

? ONE effortless sales process → No more convincing or chasing.

And once I installed this system?

Everything changed.

? Clients came to ME.

? My offer sold itself.

? I could finally see a path to real growth—without killing myself in the process.

And I stopped working like a desperate freelancer… and started growing like a real business owner.

If You’re Still Saying Yes to Everything… Read This.

If your business still depends on you doing everything manually, I can tell you right now:

? You are stuck in survival mode.

? You don’t have a business—you have a job.

? And you will never escape if you keep saying yes to everything.

I get it.

I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to be on the edge, scrambling just to make it through the month. I know what it’s like to feel like you don’t have any other choice.

But I also know what happens when you finally decide to change the game.

Your business does not have to own you.

? You don’t have to trade more hours for more money.

? You don’t have to chase clients to survive.

? You don’t have to keep saying yes just to keep the lights on.

It’s Time to Build a Business That Works for YOU.

Right now, you have two choices:

Keep grinding. Keep saying yes, keep burning out, keep wondering why your business is growing in workload but not in freedom.

Or install a system that makes growth easy.

? ONE scalable offer—so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every sale.

? ONE repeatable lead system—so you’re not at the mercy of referrals.

?ONE frictionless sales process—so clients come to YOU, pre-sold and ready.

If you’re done with the grind and ready to finally break free from saying yes to everything, let’s talk.
