Do You Say 'Yes' Enough?

We don't give ourselves enough credit for trying. So let's start doing it right now.

Entrepreneurs often feel overwhelmed. We have too many deadlines, too much responsibility, and not enough time for it all.

So here's a way to help you feel better, and to gain the clarity you need. To start, let's play a game. I'll ask you to do two things.

First: Quick-congratulate yourself on a recent accomplishment!

Do you even have one in mind? I don't, to be honest. "Accomplishments" are big things to me, and they don't happen daily. So now that prompt has got me thinking about all the stuff I want to accomplish but haven't yet.

Next: Quick-congratulate yourself on saying yes to something!

Is this easier? It is for me. I've said yes to plenty of things lately-lunch with a friend, an intriguing meeting, a potential business opportunity.
