There's a very high competence to be able to do a lot, but as a result, there's this underdeveloped muscle. I think we've said yes to a lot of things and gotten patted on the head for it our whole life. It is literally a part of our identity to be the go-to person to get something done. And my hope is that as we grow this muscle of saying no, which is counter to our identity, we can go from a shotgun approach with a higher level of competency to a laser approach.
What would your business or your life look like if you designed it from scratch using essentialist and effortless principles to guide you?

Today is part two of my conversation with Kyle Westaway, who has designed a law firm from scratch using these principles. By the end of this episode, you will be able to say no with greater competence and confidence so that you can design a life and business where it's more effortless to achieve what matters most.
