Learn To Say No

Whether I'm coaching business executives or their team members, I'm often approached with this.
 
“…well Marvin, I just don't know how to say no.”  
 
Really? Actually, it sounds like you say no real well to yourself. ​

By that I mean, everybody gets a piece of you, but you don't get a piece of yourself. 
 
And I'm not talking about selfish love, I'm not talking about a narcissistic kind of love, I'm trying to teach you what Southwest Airlines has done so well. What do they say?  If in the unlikely event that the cabin loses pressure, you take the air mask and you put it on your own face first. And the reason is, if you put it on your kids face first, and you die, you're not going to be able to help your kid. 
 
I talked to you before about the power of pause. I talked to you before about finding your quiet place. I have two quiet places right now that I'm thinking about that I go to.  I have a quiet place at my house, I have a quiet place that's a secret place in some woods, locally, close to my house.  And I have a quiet place near my work that I go to. So wherever I'm at, if I need that quiet place, I go to that quiet place. 
 
That’s what you need – your own quiet place where you can collect your thoughts, and focus on what you need in order to be effective. You can’t do that it can’t say no when it’s the right decision for you to make.
 
If you want to get more done, then learn to say no.​
Peace, love & gumbo!
