As coaches, because we tend to be on the more compassionate side, so we often say, "Yes" before we say, "No". Do you find yourself doing this? And then we end up with doing things that don't lead to growing our businesses. This can lead to overwork, frustration because we have said yes when we should have said no, compassion fatigue, and a general sense of dissatisfaction. How can we stop ourselves from this almost automatic response? Take a pause before answering, and in this pause ask yourself if this is something you REALLY, REALLY want to say yes to? We can pause by simply taking a breath before answering, or we can say we need to check in our diaries to see if we can do it....there are many ways to skin a cat! Maybe it is time we start practicing what we preach- and saying No to the non- essential things, which will allow us to say a stronger YES to the really important things.
