‘Yes’ And ‘No’

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘Every decision about yes and no really comes down to how you’re going to spend your time.’

‘No is how you protect yourself and others from making bad commitments, dedicating resources trying to do things that cannot be done (not possible), are not allowed (against the rules), or that on balance, should not be done ( a bad idea or not the next top priority).

‘Every good no makes room for a better yes.’

‘Yes is the beginning of a collaboration, the start of something.’

‘Every good yes is a chance to make the most of a good opportunity and serve others by adding value and building your real influence.’

‘Every good no – or not yet– makes room for a better opportunity.’

‘Every bad yes is a waste of time, energy, and money that will crowd out a better opportunity.’

‘Every bad no is a missed opportunity or a delayed ( and maybe soured) opportunity if the no gets overturned.’

‘Every yes is a commitment, and every commitment deserves to be taken seriously and honored with a good plan and focused execution.’

‘Plan the work so that you can work your plan.’

"If you have a powerful yes, 
you'll find a way to make it happen. 
A passionate yes makes it very hard 
for people to say no to you."- Gezim Gashi

Do you have a powerful yes? 
How powerful is it? 

To be successful in your own life,
don't worry about how many nos
you have received in your life.
They don't matter.
All you have to do is learn from them.
Rejections have lessons.
Follow the lessons, not the rejections.

People do not reject you. It is not about you.
They are not happy with what you are selling.
Just know that rejection is not about you,
but about what you are selling.

If you want to grow, you must be comfortable with rejection letters.
You must be comfortable with lots of nos.
And they will continue to come.

When you hear no, then it means you are 
getting closer to where you are going to be.
It means you are trying.
It is means something is about to happen.
Just be patient with yourself,
And victory will come.
