When to Say Yes or No in Business (and How to Say It) EP 120

Look at your calendar. Every yes you've said this month is on there, and it's eating the time and energy you meant to spend building your business.  You're Invited to Join Podcast Club: Here's the thing about podcasts.  You listen, have thoughts and questions, then go on with your day.   Podcast Club is different. You get to reflect on what you just heard while it's still fresh, ask the questions that came up for you, and actually apply it to your own life instead of filing it away. And there's something about doing that with other like-minded people in the room. You see it from a perspective you wouldn't have come up with alone, and you realize you're not the only one dealing with this. It's free. It's the difference between passive listening and active connection. Join us live at https://consciousedge.com/club.
