Stop Saying No. Start Saying YES!

Every once in a while I get an email from someone or have an interaction through work where I ask myself, “Why are you saying no?”

I have run into this working at so many companies, and through consulting and political work. And the same types of people always give you their long list of reasons, when the truth is – all they need to do is say “YES.” They just don’t want to say “Yes.”

Today, I had such an experience.

So, I looked online and I found this great quote that sums up how I feel:

“If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus. And you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee
