Say “no” out loud.
Short, simple, powerful.
If you want impact in this world, you have to get used to saying it.
“Yes,” while sounding sweet, limits your ability to put your energy into projects that matter.
Time is the only thing we have. Our impact on people or our work relates to time shared or the amount of time we decide to share with the work. Each “yes” takes away from that.
While it’s important to put work in the world, to get better at it, you have to give your work the attention. That’s how you have an impact.
How do you want people to remember you?
Hurried and “busy” (yes)
Impactful and powerful (no)
Make it a point to say yes to Kate Harvie’s new website today! She is a terrific writer. Go!
