As freelancers and
entrepreneurs, setting limits can seem impossible. In my recent
episode, Burnout: Using Your Lows as a Launching Pad to
Your Highs, I discuss
how I hit my capacity and found myself utterly burnout over a
vacation with my friends. In today’s episode, I piggyback off the
topic of burnout and shed light on how the power of saying ‘no’ has
helped me both mentally and in my business.
As a natural born hustler and
people pleaser, the thought of turning away business never crossed
my mind. I was afraid of disappointing those who wanted to work
with me (and the people who referred me to their network), I always
wanted to feel financially secure and I love the rush of a new
project!
Saying ‘no’ was unnatural for me
so I decided to do it BSQ style. I took it step-by-step and
addressed the rationale behind why saying ‘no’ to new clients made
me uncomfortable. As I mapped out my reasons, I began to think of
the best practices I can use to turn down new business while
maintaining great relationships. Once I put these methods into
action, the responses I received were better than what I had
imagined. I now have clients lined up for next month and time for
R+R on my calendar!
This episode is great for anyone who is overwhelmed with commitments. Don’t forget, you are your biggest client, taking care of yourself and your time is number 1.
