Back when I was losing my house, bleeding money, and overwhelmed with too many strategies, I hit a breaking point. I had to stop trying to do everything and start getting laser focused. That’s when everything changed for me.
This episode is all about five things I used to say yes to but now firmly say no to. These shifts didn’t just buy back my time… they made me more money. If you’re stuck in five-dollar-an-hour tasks, chasing every shiny new object, or jumping on every meeting and project that comes your way, I get it. I was there. But learning to say no gave me the focus to build a business that works for me instead of the other way around.

What’s Inside:
—The real cost of saying yes to five-dollar-an-hour tasks
—How shiny object syndrome kills momentum and profits
—Why fewer meetings and tighter focus multiply your results
