How to say no when you don’t want to let anyone down

Jul 27, 2022

As you transition from starting a business to being established, you inevitably encounter a really challenging step in growth - learning how to say no to work!


In this episode we explore the many reasons you may want to say no to work, and the ways of doing it that help both you and prospective clients.


We explore the different stages of business and how things inevitably need to change from saying yes to almost everything to saying no to almost everything! I explain the reasons why this transition can be so hard and why it’s so important in order to scale and grow your business.


Saying no allows you to stay focused on your goals and the evolving vision you have for your business, to hone and specialise your work in order to focus on the niches you’re passionate about and avoid the resentment that often comes when you accept work you don’t want.


I share with you the ways I’ve learnt how to do this and how I navigate the various ways of saying no - from declining work you used to do but no longer want to pursue, to ending working relationships with clients that you no longer want to work with.


I promise you, saying no gets easier! I’m excited to share my learnings with you, so you can scale and grow in the direction of your dreams.
